Oligerti Mucka of Gerry Masonry charged me $4,500 to stop water from going into my basement. After…read moretwo attempts to solve the problem the basement still got wet after a rainfall. When I informed Gerry that the problem persisted, he got agitated, defensive, and argumentative; blaming everyone (including me) and everything (including gutters and drain pipes) rather than accepting responsibility for his mistakes. Gerry tried to bully me into doing substantial, additional work (at my expense) which he felt would stop the leaking; all of which would be totally unnecessary had he appropriately performed the work he was paid to do. Soon after, Gerry told me to stop calling him. I then filed a complaint against him with the Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection. After Consumer Protection investigators discussed the problem with him, he agreed to refund the total cost of the project, $4,500. To protect yourself if you are considering hiring Gerry Masonry, be sure to have a written contract which clearly specifies the scope of work for the entire project. If you do not get what you paid for, or Gerry otherwise fails to complete tasks specified in the contract, you might want to consider contacting Consumer Protection for help resolving the issue(s).

INITIAL DISCUSSIONS (FEB 22, 2024) We asked Keith if…read moreremoving the flooring would speed up the project but eventually kept tile. HandyWorks would demo and install the new tile. We also discussed painting cabinets, eyeing a mid-March start. PRICING & COMMUNICATION (FEB 26-27) We received only a "line item overview," no per-task costs. Repeated requests for a true breakdown were never fulfilled. Sue, the project manager, offered no real help with fixture selection (e.g., she told us to "use the filters" on a website we'd already tried). TIMELINE DISCONNECT (FEB 28) Keith disclosed late that the countertop needed a 10-business-day lead time and that subsequent tasks would push the project to around three weeks--far beyond our hoped-for one-week timeframe. CONTRACT & SCOPE OMISSIONS (MAR 12-21) After I canceled a meeting, Keith declined to email the contract, insisting on another in-person appointment. We finally reviewed it on March 15 but discovered the trashcan insert was omitted. Keith apologized yet still never provided a detailed cost breakdown. TILE PROBLEMS (SPRING 2024-MAY 2025) Several tiles were laid out improperly, and two had extra-wide grout lines. Keith's crew returned weeks later, but he sent a finish carpenter, not a tiler, leaving flaws. They redid those tiles again in May 2025 without Keith supervising. The tiler also used floor leveler to raise part of our century-old floor several inches--without our consent--then tried to charge extra and later failed to remove it from the invoice promptly. COUNTERTOP & BACKSPLASH ISSUES (FEB-MAY 2025) Small items rolled off the countertop's edge. By April, the section over the dishwasher sagged, leaving a gap. Keith finally added a bracket in May, admitting it should have been done initially. For the backsplash, his crew broke the grey-white marble pattern without asking, substituting grey for white near the edge. Keith insisted the white pieces were "too small" to cut, which felt untrue, and he never consulted us. OTHER UNPROFESSIONAL INCIDENTS Keith brought up politics (specifically, Trump) during contract signing, which felt inappropriate. One day, his workers cut quartz with our windows open, blanketing our downstairs in dust, for which he offered $200. A worker also smoked in our backyard after we explicitly said no. FINAL INVOICE & REFUND DISPUTE (SEPT 2024-MAR 2025) Keith apologized for including the unapproved floor-leveler charge on our final bill. We requested about a 10% refund due to recurring problems and incomplete fixes. He verbally agreed in March 2025 but later avoided the subject. We still haven't received any compensation. BBB complaint pending.

BEWARE OF THIS COMPANY!!! Worse experience ever!!!! First of all these two brothers only been in…read morebusiness 1 year and don't know what the heck they're doing. I've been a general contractor for close to 17 years but is not presently doing business, so I hired this company to do some remodeling for me at my West Haven residence. These brothers don't personally do the work themselves (thank God) as they sub everything out to sub contractors. The father is experienced but lives in NY, the sons takes their guidance from their father who comes to the job site once in a while to check out the work. This was a labor only contract since I had already purchased my materials before contracting with them. I allowed the brothers to order the rest of what was needed. When I got to the store, one of the associate that I've known for some years asked me was there a reason for me purchasing the most expensive installation they carry. He continued telling me that the installation cost well over a thousand and that the cheaper installation pretty much does the same thing. When I asked Fabian, (one of the brothers) why he had ordered the expensive installation, he said because it was thicker, smh... when a person's house is already insulated and is wrapped, there's no need for a thick installation. By the store sells man bringing this to my attention it saved me $800. Then there was the wood. Who orders pressure treated wood for inside framing? Ridiculous!!!! Which I may add is more expensive then interior framing wood. And who ever heard of 2x3x9... ridiculous!!! They text me telling me they need me to pick up some 2x3x9 wood, smh... These guys is a joke! So I say all this to add the fact that this company don't care about wasting customers money. Now aside from what I've already mentioned, the worse was them installing a bay window for me and not securing the window and it raining that night, or was it the skunk that got into my house after their workers left and left my side door open and me not noticing it was still open until that night, or was it my neighbors complaining about how the outside of my house was looking because these guys left trash, scrap materials, etc.. all around my house. The night before Christmas after installing my bay window, it rained and water poured through my window, ruined some of my brand new wood, and the back of my bed. This started at around 10pm at night and continued to after 4am Christmas morning. Every 5 minutes dumping buckets of water, aside from having a skunk in my house. Even after telling them about the skunk, I lived with this skunk for like seven days, oh and the skunk sprayed. What a nightmare... if you would like to see the video of this, it will be posted on Youtube today, titled... 'Beware of DAFA, worse Christmas eve ever!' And the end results is, DAFA abandoned my job before completing the work due my not agreeing to pay them extra money for another window that they agreed to install in another room. Oh one more thing I will mention is, "Make sure you get everything in writing from these guys.' They will keep coming up with ways to get more money out of you, and also be sure to lock them into a resonable start and finish date, cause they will drag their feet if you don't.

Since then, we have used Eddie on a variety of projects both big and small. He has completely renovated 3 bathrooms for us, rebuilt a deck, installed a standby generator, performed maintenance on said generator, re-tiled floors, done outside and inside painting, built a shed, installed a roof, dealt with plumbing issues and countless other projects. Eddie has handled much of this work himself, but I have also trusted him to find subcontractors because when EH Home Remodeling brings on a sub, he holds them to the same standards he holds himself to. I frequently joke with Eddie that he has spoiled us because we have become accustomed to the extremely high quality of workmanship that Eddie delivers. He is dependable, pleasant and very reasonably priced. I have told Eddie many times that he should charge more (words that I thought I would never say). EH Remodeling is a terrific company which has made my life so much easier.
