On May 22 of 2026, I signed a contract with Rob Marini of Marini Paving, in order to have my…read moredriveway replaced. He was very pleasant and took the time to talk about how and why he would do the repaving and I agreed to all of his terms. He told me he had a few jobs in front of mine and that it would probably be a month before he could start. I called him at the end of June to see when he would start and he told me he was behind because he hurt his hand and that the rainy weather delayed him further. I called him again on the 3rd week of July and he told me his new paving machine had broken down and that he had a big job at a bus company. He promised me he would get to my job in September. I told him I would call at the end of August to get an estimated date. My wife called him the last week of August and he told her he didn't know when he could start because he had a big job at a bus company. It must have been big because he told me that 4 weeks earlier. I called him on the first week of September. We exchanged hellos and pleasantries but when I asked him where my job was on his list, he hung up the phone. Giving him the benefit of the doubt that perhaps it was a dropped call, I called his number several time over the next couple of days and he never answered. Rob Marini is a poor businessman when it comes to customer relations. In fact, he's a coward. Why didn't he just tell me up front that my small 1010 FT2 driveway wasn't enough of a moneymaker for him? Beware of Marini Paving from Watertown!

Disappointing Experience - Contractors Beware…read more I am sharing our experience so that other contractors and small business owners can be cautious when doing business with this individual. My husband, a licensed and insured contractor, was hired to perform construction work at this individual's property. Throughout the project, my husband invested his time, labor, and materials into completing the agreed-upon work. Unfortunately, the situation became extremely difficult when the homeowner refused to pay the remaining balance, prevented my husband from returning to complete the work, and threatened to call the police if he returned to the property. My husband also performed additional work for which he was never compensated. Despite his efforts, we were left dealing with unpaid labor, materials, and the stress of trying to recover money owed for services provided. As a small business, situations like this are financially damaging. Contractors have families, employees, expenses, and obligations, and they deserve to be treated fairly and compensated for their work. I am sharing this experience to encourage other contractors to protect themselves with detailed written agreements, documented payments, and clear expectations before accepting work.

I discovered a leak in the ceiling of my 1st-floor half bath, and traced that all the way up…read morethrough my office to the attic. It took a while for me, as a first-time homeowner, to understand that this meant I had a leak in the roof, because I thought it might somehow be a plumbing issue (it was a leak down the bathroom's exhaust vent pipe). The plumber said roofer. I found Manny because I was looking for someone to repair my front porch steps, and given that he was also a roofer, I asked him to give his opinion on what I hoped was a minor issue that could just be repaired, but it turns out that it needed a whole new roof, because the flashing around the pipe was bad, and with further inspection, turned out to be missing shingles, on top of THREE layers of roofing that they'd just kept putting more on. Manny made it easy to coordinate with the insurance company, and what a relief that they agreed to pay for the majority of the roof (but not the tower, which was actually the portion that was in the worst condition, but it wasn't storm damaged, just old). But his help in coordinating made it possible to get it all done, including repairing my front steps, because the cost would have been overwhelming without the insurance part of the equation. The workers were all so kind and helpful, particularly in maneuvering in the tight spaces that is my yard/driveway to get the trash to the curb on trash day around the dumpster in the driveway. Thankfully this work was completed in the winter so no worries about crushing blooms in my front garden, but I also appreciated how they put down tarps over all the plants to protect them, used nets to slide debris into the dumpster, and came back around to clean up after--including using a magnet to catch stray nails. I did unfortunately lose a blueberry bush and I'm a little worried about my blackberry canes, but overall they did their best and while I'd have preferred leaving my leaf mulch down, there's no way to distinguish between the leaf mulch and trash, so you shrug and deal with it. I'm sure the perennials will be fine come spring. As you can see from the pictures, my 1886 Victorian has quite a complicated roofline, and they were able to preserve the profile of the roof, put everything back where it ought to go, and then they'll be coming back in a couple of weeks to patch up the interior places where I originally realized there was damage.
