It is very interesting how this guy is quick to post SLANDEROUS remarks about us and our company.

Daniel Michael Zmich came to us in response to an ad for sales people, after an interview he started as a 1099 independent sales person. He asked for this because his truck was about to get repossessed and the State of AZ was after him for back child support. What a DEADBEAT. He CANNOT hold a job for long.

We spent time and trained him on our processes and sales software he started to make sales and did quite well for us up until about 6 months ago.

He continued to screw up our simple software excel program and wrote many contracts with errors and omissions that cost the company money. It seemed that he would say anything to customers to get the sale and thus his commissions. He was paid on Fridays and BROKE on Mondays.  He was paid over $69000.00 in the year he worked here. His errors and lies to customers cost the company more in lost profits than he was paid.

A few months ago, he asked to be put on payroll because he wanted taxes taken out and paid. He mentioned that he didn’t have the money to pay his taxes. We put him on payroll for a for a couple of pay periods and shortly after the State of AZ sent us a letter that his child support needed to be taken out also. So, he quit, and we fired him all at the same time.

We had to get an Injunction Against harassment against him because he thought he was owed money on commissions and made threats to us. We sent him his break down of his pay, draws and back charges and he realized that he had no further commissions from us and he took the low road with ABSOLUTELY NO INTEGRITY what so ever to SLANDER US! He continues to send slanderous text to us and our next move will be to sue him in court.

At the age he is one would think that he might be stable somewhat. He lives off others and was living with a sister and hated her generosity, He lived with his mother and hated her generosity, now he moved in with a girlfriend a few month ago. This is his pattern of hiding from the State and others who he owes money to.

I hope all future employers might see this and realize that this guy will do damage to the company he works for and see that he has NO Integrity and will keep bouncing around from job to job and the investment in him will be wasted.

This has been the worst experience by far!
Ray Baxter is a narcissist crook who was verbally abusive to me and his own wife. He blames everybody else in fact it's his clueless ways of running a business! He will yell at customers if he doesn't get his money when he wants it. His installer Simon is not licensed and illegal
Make sure you do a background on Ray Baxter
Majority of his reviews he put on himself
Check rip off report he has done this before with other employees
You have been warned
Medafisics degree he brags about
Hilarious and delusional person

Here is what our customers are saying about us.

John was delighted to get a quote from Ray - the prices were great, and the quality and look was just what we wanted in our new kitchen.  We put in a huge island, new kitchen and remodeled the great room.  The contractor (Travis) who moved walls, did plumbing, electrical and tile was also excellent.  All the workers were great - and best of all - Ray was able to get the job done in just a couple of weeks - this is amazing, as most people have to go through months of inconvenience for a complete remodel!  Thank you Ray and team!
Eve and John, Sun City West

It was a pleasure working with Ray. He was pleasant and always prompt in responding to questions or issues during the project. His teams were all professional and tidy when working in our home. We are very happy with the updated look we now have in our 25 yr old kitchen. The price and relatively short period of inconvenience were all worth it! Bonnie G, Mesa AZ

Ray and his team are fantastic to work with!! They did my kitchen backsplash and will be doing my floors later, but he gave great advice and was  always prompt. His team did a great, quality job and we were really happy with the price too. Katie B

One Source did a major remodel of our kitchen and baths. Ray Baxter had fantastic ideas that we incorporated into the design. The workmanship and results far exceeded our expectations. We get a lot of great comments that our kitchen now looks like a model home. They completely remodeled the master bathroom Tore out the old corner bathtub and shower and built a beautiful, large walk-in travertine shower. Their price was very reasonable as well. I highly recommend One Source for any remodeling. Mitch A Chandler AZ

Mr. Francoeur, Thanks for your review. We made it clear to you that NO permit is required. By getting a permit for a simple shower remodel extends the installation time by sometimes weeks and we have way to much going on to be at the mercy of a city jurisdiction. "For your Protection" we are a licensed and bonded company by the ROC and that is your protection. We are sorry that you feel that the office did not communicate with you as you had wished. We have over 8 calls to you logged to you from us.
It is interesting that all 1 star reviews in this industry are from people who are not customers of the company.
Good luck on your shower remodel.

Project Price: $1,000 - $9,999
Absolutely a waste of time! We had a presentation with Dan and asked him to call back in two days for an answer. We decided to hire the firm for our bathroom remodeling project. When he didn't call, we left a voice mail at the office on Friday, and on Saturday spoke with Ray, who said he would have Dan call back. When there was still no call, we called the following Friday and were told Dan had tried to call, but a woman said she didn't know anything about the project. Strange, since there was only one number ever given (my cell), the same number Dan had called for the presentation appointment and the same one given on all three calls to the office. Even then, the office said he was returning from an appointment and would call as soon as he came in. Three days later still no call from Dan or the office. I guess he was not happy we wanted a permit pulled on the job ("We never pull permits") for our protection. I now notice that the firm was only registered with the state one year ago, despite claims of years of service. I guess we'll never know why because we will never deal with these clowns again.

I am fed up. The only thing this company is efficient about and on time with is their payments. We scheduled a kitchen remodel well over a month before moving in. We moved in two weeks ago and still do not have a finished kitchen because of their poor quality work. Every "fix" they try ends up causing more damage to be repaired. Does the owner come by to inspect and supervise the work?? NO!! I have to try and contact by text because his mailbox is full.
DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY.

Ray was great to work with and offered suggestions for design. He returned calls promptly and answered any questions I had. I did feel that there was a bit of lack of communication from his crew to him as I had to call a couple of times to see about arrival days and times on some of the work. Other then that, I am very pleased with my new bathroom and would recommend America's Best Bath. Description of work: Remodel our master bathroom. Removed old shower, which was a surround stall type. Had a new tiled shower/floor installed with decor and a beautiful shower door, new granite vanity top with double sinks installed. They also put the same decor tile above the garden tub and tiled the front of the tub, which really looks great. Had old dark floor tile removed and a lighter color tile floor installed. Looks very nice. Deloris Tolleson AZ Everything was done with excellent care and beautiful design. The step in the living room was completely removed and a cement ramp was made, covered with the identical tile in the rest of the house. Ray all the other men on his crews worked together to make sure everything was completed perfectly. Description of work: We had the shower remodeled into a walk in, two pocket doors and a new back door installed, and a wheelchair ramp installed in a sunken living room. Karen Mesa AZ

Sun Lakes, Ariz. - Ray Baxter is the owner of the business Alfreda Wilson and Louis Simmons hired to install solar panels on their sun lakes home.

They paid $16,000 and had the system installed last year but say because of Baxter, they could lose their home altogether.

“It's not right!” Alfreda said.

Earlier this year, Baxter's solar panel supplier, Consolidated Electrical Distributors, filed a lawsuit against Baxter and placed liens on the homes of nine of his customers.

The lawsuit claims Baxter's business, Arizona Power Save, has refused to pay CED for supplies.
“It’s not our fault that he didn't pay for his materials,” Alfreda said.

So why are homeowners who paid stuck in the middle?

Because of a contract that homeowners supposedly signed which “allows CED to file a mechanics lien against the project if it is not timely paid.”

But Alfreda says she doesn't remember signing any such contract, and has hired attorney Mike Fiflis.

“No one was told about CED at the time they were signing their contract, no one was told you’re going to give a lien to the supplier,” Fiflis said. “People were, at least in my opinion, clearly duped into doing this.”

3 On Your Side has tried to contact Ray Baxter but we're not the only ones.

A process server wants to serve Baxter with a $200,000 lawsuit accusing him of skipping out the lease at his Tempe business address.

“Oh, we'll find him,” the process server said. “He can't run forever.”

The only response 3 On Your Side has received from Baxter was a short email stating, "Agreement reached, payments made, liens released!"

We checked and according to Baxter's supplier that filed the lawsuit in the first place, no liens have been released.

That leaves homeowners like Alfreda and Louis still in limbo.

“If we have to pay the $14,000, it's gonna take all our savings, it's gonna wipe us out,” Alfreda said.

Baxter had until June 1, 2011 to pay the settlement agreement, $50,000, but we're told that didn't happen.

Meantime, a judge has 20 days to issue a letter of recommendation as to what should happen with Baxter’s contractor's license.

UPDATE: June 9, 2011
A judge has recommended that Baxter's license be revoked unless 'the Arizona Registrar of Contractor's receives and accepts written proof that Baxter has paid $137,465.51 to CED.'

This company has changed its name to One Source Remodeling LC. They were previously known as America's Best Bath AZ.
