We hired Mario to do an extensive renovation of our home on the recommendation of a friend. What was supposed to be a 3 month project turned into 8 because he took on so many projects at once, he did not have the manpower to complete them simultaneously We spent well over $125k to add 2 bathrooms, finish the downstairs, update the kitchen, etc. Mario insured us he would obtain all necessary permits as well as use a licensed plumber and electrician. He did none of these. Electrician wired switches incorrectly where they would turn on lights in other rooms. Let me preface the rest of this review by saying Mario does not do any of the work himself. His carpenter employees, specifically Matt, AJ and Liam are very nice and do a good job for the most part. However Mario himself is dishonest, most probably does not have a current, valid contractor license, reuses old materials that have expired (or are about to including 6 smoke detectors that he had the unlicensed electrician reinstall old ones to find that one in the downstairs was never even hard wired) reused or had cheap ceiling fans installed, one of which had to recently be replaced after 2 years of barely being used, and installed a cheap faucet that also had to recently be replaced in our slop sink. Tried to reuse old wire shelving in new closets, only to have it break and upon calling him, had the audacity to charge us $900 to put up two shelves and two wood rods. We have no C of O so if we wanted to sell our house, can't unless we pay exorbitant fees. We gave him the opportunity to make all of this right in a diplomatic manner with an itemized bill but no response. He has contracts with many HOA's in Sandwich, Mashpee and New Seabury. Many of his clients are snowbirds so are unaware of what he does or doesn't do. Highly recommend finding a licensed, professional and honest contractor. DM me for the name of one I used recently who is wonderful. Right now I'm out about $4K we had to spend to fix all the issues, probably more if I added everything up. read more
