I always always taught if you have nothing not to say don't say it. Well I'm breaking the rule, it took me awhile, but I have do it. Joe M. Has a great sales pitch, but that's it. A lot of it is my fault. He said he needed the cash to say his workers, I gave him $10,000 up front to do a small bath and a half. The full bath just had a shower no tub, the half bath a sink and a toilet. The total job was over $19,000. After completion I notice rust coming out of the hand shower bar, he told me it was my water, I said no it's not, he sent someone over. Whoever installed it used the wrong screws which caused them to rust, he replaced them. He also told me the grout they use had a sealer in it, which wasn't true. I'm a clean freak, so no matter how much I clean I was getting mold. I called him again. He sent some guy over with no experience who just covered it up with some grout that doesn't match. One of the toilets was not sealed, the guy put caulking, not silicone and now that's all cracking. I showed him the vanity, which I purchased from him which had a crack on the draw, the guy used the same caulking to patch it up, the a few months have past and now the front of the draw is peeling.
Also while he was doing the bathrooms I had him install a kitchen sink, I had to call because the drain was leaking, the same guy came over to fix it, needless to say it lasted a week. I called a plumber, he said the guy patched it up with caulking and it just washed of with the leak. The problem was the drain wasn't installed correctly. I also paid him to install subway tile backsplash, the job was horrible, the excuse was my walls. The total jobs were $25,000.
He also recommended a painter $1,750 to paint a small kitchen and living room. I trusted the guy paid him, left him in my house to go to work. He used one coat of paint, stole my grandsons jar of coins and left with a beautiful rug a gave him for his daughter, I should have realized it when he didn't even thank me. Called him back never returned my calls.
Like I said it's my own fault, I left these workers in my home while I went to work. I trusted them and they took complete advantage of me, maybe because I'm a senior citizen women, it just makes me sick, I took the money out of my retirement fund to do this work. It's been over two years and I look at the terrible job, everyday and it depresses me. But I do believe in Karma. All I can say is look elsewhere, I'm sure there are many reputable contractors out there. read more
