First of all Mario cares deeply about his work. This was never a "job" for him, he really wants to make a difference. He works long hours making sure everything is going well. He tries to make sure that he only hires reputable subcontractors so that he knows the job is done right. His rates are also reasonable. In our case he communicated often with us for every decision whether it was to let us know of any changes so that we could decide what to do next as well as to see how the work was progressing or to see if we had any problems or concerns. He never suggested additional work that didn't need to be done. I can't say enough about Mario. I have more work to get done at a later date, and I will certainly be hiring him when that time comes. If you're looking for an honest, reputable and fair contractor, give him a call. You won't regret it. read more
