0/5 Stay away. We had a nightmare of an experience with Severe Contracting. We had a contract and paid according to our payment schedule, plus an extra contract for custom closet inserts. 4 months into the project, 2 weeks before the completion date, he asked for $25K more, refused to provide a rationale, stalled for 3 more weeks, then quit, leaving the project (our kitchen and main floor bathroom) unfinished. Refused to refund the closet $ and left us scrambling to pay off his subcontractors and finish it ourselves. We have had 3 independent contractors assess the work his crew did; most of it is absolutely terrible and needs to be ripped out and redone, from the painting to the plumbing. We are unable to install a hood vent or cooktop because they installed 4" ducting - because of the building code, we need to rip out the ceiling and run 6" ducting. He should have known. 0/5, would not recommend.
