Problems began from the very beginning. The general manager stopped showing up three weeks into the project. I was told that the plumbing guy was the "Foreman" only to find out later that he was no longer with DREAM CATCHER, he was a subcontractor, not even an employee of DREAM CATCHER construction. It was only after my repeated inquiries that Fernando...

AGS Stainless does not stand behind its product and their so called warranty. They are dishonest and have no respect for the customer. The quality control is non-existent resulting in poor quality products delivered to the customer.
