Troubleshooter: Bathroom remodel gone wrong

HILLSBOROUGH, N.C. (WTVD) --

Remodeling jobs should be exciting, but if they are done incorrectly, they can be expensive and stressful.

"See the shower was put in upside down," Elvin said.

The remodeling company, International Home Developers, LLC installed a large portion of the shower improperly, causing a big problem for Elvin.

"See the plumber, when he put it in, I don't think he knew what he was doing," he said.

Elvin paid more than $6,000 to International Home Developers, LLC for the bathroom remodel project.

At first, Elvin and his wife did not realize the attached shelving was installed upside down, until his wife slipped and reached to grab on to it.

The gripping surface on the shelves was facing down, not up, so she had nothing to hold to prevent her from falling.

They called the owner of Internal Home Developers right away.

"He promptly came out and he said, 'Oh my God, this is going to cost me some money,'" Elvin said.
