We DO NOT recommend Justin Colangelo of C&G Contracting Services New Providence NJ. Also knowns as…read moreC&G Builders of New Providence NJ as he continues to change his name and contracting websites, fraudulently adding forced/fake 5 star reviews, to hide from his "criminal" past. Any NJ home owners considering Justin Colangelo must read my true story from 2018-2019.
Justin was hired because our new home needed a basement upgrade. As first time home owners, Justin positioned himself as a nice, family guy, fair priced, general contractor. Lies. This was a con that we found out many months later was a huge costly mistake worth tens of thousands. After many errors, issues, miscommunication, misguided us, ambiguous hard to read contracts (after the work went wrong), and his worthless 3 year warranty, we had to stop the multiple unfinished projects he so strategically interwoven that we foolishly paid for. Despite telling him we stopped due to ongoing water that he couldn't resolve civilly, he quit on us without resolving work that he originally said he would finalize for us!
There are a dozen big/small important unfinished tasks on paid projects that still exist including a faulty french drain to breaking my heating vent when they did ceiling work. We pleaded with him in January four times via email to finish the work, compensate for work that wasn't ever done but he refused to resolve this like a professional, like a crook.
To elaborate, we barely started a basement renovation in Feb 2018 but found a leak in basement. He positioned himself to fix it all and water proof to salvage the crack in the home during a challenging series of events for our family. However, we found later that he grossly over charged us for low quality lateral french drain despite contracting fo ra perimeter drain system, poor wood framing, screwing into heating vents, unfinished rough electric, and a patch work job inside, exterior water proofing mishaps with piping and back up floods, a driveway that still has a 35 foot cracking, many small cracks and more. We had 3rd parties analyze his work and told us most were faulty and we were grossly over charged!
Each phase of the home basement, kitchen upgrade, driveway and water proofing jobs all experienced issues: cracks, chips, errors,etc that many still remain unfixed!!! Including a kitchen upgrade that he scratched my new hard wood floors moving a fridge, installed the wrong crown molding, too. Whenever we challenged the quality of work he became very angry and blamed me talking his way through b.s for many months.
From one home owner to another, Justin Colangelo of C&G Contractors of New Providence NJ is a con artist. A crook with a past, and avoid the issues with him and find someone else. It is very important that innocent home owners know the low quality, high cost from Justin Colangelo.
