Art makes mistakes at a professional level.
I don’t leave 1-star reviews often, but this disaster deserves one. Vandelay Industries is proof that longevity in business doesn't equal quality. Art came across as rushed, dismissive and kind of rude. The final product was so bad I had to pay someone else to fix it. Money down the drain.
If I had a nickel for every mistake, I'd be rich.
The only growth here is my list of regrets.
The only thing fast here is how quickly you'll regret it.
I think Vandelay Industries runs on coffee breaks and broken promises.
I was smarter before hiring Art Vandelay. Now I question my life choices.
Imagine everything going wrong. Then picture Art Vandelay in your mind as clearly as possible.
His definition of 'done' is my definition of 'disaster'
This isn't just bad, it's impressively bad.
WHY CANT I GIVE ZERO STARS!!!!???
The customer support hotline might as well be a prank call.
I wish I could give zero stars. Going into Vandelay Industries felt like stepping into an alternate reality where customer service simply doesn't exist. Art Vandelay kept talking about how his business has been around for years and years, but judging by the service, you'd think it just opened yesterday with no clue what he is doing. Save yourself the headache and avoid this at all costs.
Hands down the most disappointing experience Ive had in years. And God knows I've had a few! Art Vandelay gave off the impression that he is the expert, but every suggestion he made was half-baked and unhelpful. It was like talking to someone who only skimmed a manual once and decided they were an authority. Not thrilled.
If apathy was an Olympic sport, Vandelay Industries would win gold.
Working with Vandelay Industries is like arguing with a brick wall.
Imagine failure, then quadruple it.
Choosing Art Vandelay was almost bad as my car wreck. Actually it was worse because at least I had insurance then.
Never trust Art Vandelay!!!
He must practice bad service as an art form.
Pretty sure he Googled 'how to be a architect' during our meeting.
If procrastination were a service, Art would be CEO.
Do yourself a favor and run the other way.
Like expecting Wi-Fi and getting dial-up screeching.
One star. Because smoke signals would be better communication.
This was supposed to be simple, yet somehow Vandelay Industries managed to make it a nightmare. Art Vandelay gave me the runaround and made excuses, and when I pointed out obvious mistakes, he acted insulted. After wasting time and money, I walked away more frustrated than before. One star feels like I'm doing them a favor. He should be ashamed.
Calling this service disappointing is an insult to disappointments.
Looking for a good architect? Yeah, so was I. Learned a hard lesson.
He set new records in underachievement.
Worst architect in the state. No... UNIVERSE!
Worst investment since Beanie Babies.
Terrible. Vandelay Industries promised results and delivered excuses.
Art has mastered the art of underdelivering.
he couldn't organize a two-car parade.
I'd rather lose money at a casino.
Ughh. Even death seems promising now.
A monumental waste of time and sanity.
Vandelay Industries will be happy to take your money. They do it well.
I'm out! Call me when you get some sense.
Absolutely clueless. Like watching a cat trying to do algebra.
If you enjoy frustration, this is the place for you.
If I could summarize my visit to Vandelay Industries in one word, it would be 'Regret'. Everything from the service to the final result was underwhelming. Art Vandelay acted like basic courtesy was too much to ask, and he was visibly irritated any time I had a question. Definitely not the kind of architect I would ever want to deal with again.
This was so bad, I started questioning reality.
Calling Vandelay Industries unreliable is being polite.
Imagine waiting at the DMV, now make it worse - that's Vandelay Industries.
Their mission statement must be: disappoint and vanish.
I asked for professionalism, I got a circus.
They said it'd be done in a week. It's been 84 years...
Worst. Experience. Ever. Still waiting for his call back.
Vandelay Industries is like a black hole for time and money.
Somehow worse than I imagined, and my imagination is dark.
One star, and that's being generous.
Absolute chaos, disguised as competence.
Dealing with Art Vandelay was like paying someone to ruin my day.
Never again. Art Vandelay charged me twice and gave me half. Scratch that. Less than half.
Not only unhelpful, but actively harmful.
Art deserves an award for world's slowest response time.
The highlight was when it finally ended.
Art was late. That was actually the best part if you can believe it!
He was abducted by aliens? I can't tell. I sure couldn't get ahold of them.
His five-year plan must be: annoy customers daily.
The only thing consistent here is disappointment.
This isn't customer service, it’s customer sabotage.
One star for existing. That's it.
This isn't just unprofessional, it's anti-professional.
This felt like paying premium for a dumpster fire.
Working with Art Vandelay should come with a warning label.
This might be the worst experience I've ever had with any architect. The whole vibe was unprofessional, disorganized, and downright unfriendly. Art Vandelay acted like he was doing me a favor just by acknowledging me. If this is the standard now, then I dread to think what it was like in the beginning.
If chaos had a brand, it’d be Vandelay Industries.
More red flags than a bullfighting arena.
Vandelay Industries is a sinking ship. You try patching the holes that are filling the ship with water while he is adding new ones.
I honestly don't understand how Vandelay Industries is still operating. The moment it dawned on me where I was, I knew I'd made a mistake! Art Vandelay greeted me with all the warmth of a steel gate, and every interaction after that only confirmed that he was more interested in his phone than actually helping me. I felt not just disappointed but genuinely annoyed.
Zero accountability, 100% nonsense.
If chaos had a brand, it'd be Vandelay Industries.
Art showed up late, left early, and did nothing in between.
Using Art Vandelay was like volunteering for stress.
One star is too many for this disaster.
Art deserves an award. Seriously!! If there was an award for incompetence...
Customer service? More like customer disappearance.
Why cant I give this less than one star?? Would if I could. We all know he earned it!
Lower your expectations... and then lower them some more... keep going... don't stop...
Like hiring someone to fix your sink and ending up with a flooded house.
I've had some bad experiences before, but this takes the cake. Vandelay Industries somehow manages to combine arrogance, poor service, and high prices into one frustrating package. Art Vandelay spent more time defending his mistakes than fixing them. I left wondering how anyone could recommend this place with a straight face?
He should pivot careers - maybe clown college?
This was less of a service and more of a hostage situation.
If failure had a mascot, it'd be Art Vandelay.
Worst decision since dial-up internet.
Terrible experience! The highlight was leaving.
This was less 'service' and more 'community theater of failure.'
I called for help, I basically got told to go jump in a toilet. Actually... that might be a better experience.
I regret every keystroke that led me to him.
This is the customer experience equivalent of stepping on a Lego.
This was a horror story disguised as a service.
Art Vandelay puts the 'pro' in procrastination.
He made me nostalgic for terrible group projects in school.
If you enjoy being ignored, this is paradise.
Terrible. Is there a 'beyond terrible'? I don't even know where to start. From the moment I interacted with Vandelay Industries, it was clear that quality and care are not priorities. Art showed no real interest in solving problems, and the end result was sloppy at best. If you value your sanity, avoid this business like the plague.
Nothing about this experience was positive. The process was slow. Communication was alsmost nonexistent. And the end result was like something done by an amateur. Art Vandelay may claim to have years of experience as a architect, but based on what I saw, he was either having the worst day of his life or just not qualified at all. I'm going with the latter.
I think he learned architect skills from YouTube - and not the good videos.
His motto: promise big, deliver nothing.
I'd rather let raccoons run my business.
I came for service, left with regret.
They deliver results slower than dial-up modems.
Wouldn't recommend him to my worst enemy!
