Alex Corado, son of Carlos Corado, the owner of Whitestone Industries came to give a quote to paint the eaves and trim to my house, and to paint my master suite, To say they left a bad taste in my mouth is an understatement. Alex was incompetent and always had the same answer, "i have to check with my superintendent or the job forman and i'll get back to you" had to stay on top of Alex and the workers they sent out EVERY STEP of the way. The workers they sent out, even the forman, didn't speak a word of english and i'm of latino descent. Their work was sloppy and unprofessional, it dragged on forever and the last straw was that they bid to sand, stain and re-varnish my solid oak front door, yes it was a little weathered but still in excellent condition. The duo they sent out, an older man and a young kid, ruined my front door. They sanded in the wrong direction, and left deep un-repairable scars in the door that i will now have to replace. I had to text Alex countless times, and then they sent out an English speaking "superintendent" and then i finally spoke with Chris and then Carlos, first they offered to "bondo and paint" my beautiful oak door, then they offered to replace it with a cheap metal one. Then when THEY agreed it could not be fixed, they asked me to send them pictures of other doors to replace the one they ruined. i sent them 18 screenshots of acceptable solid wood doors, where to buy them and the prices. They finally sent me a due bill and threatened with a lien against my home. i had to settle for an unsuitable reduction in the original bid. Carlos Corado himself tried to bully me with going to court and placing a lien against my home and i was ready to go to court, but my family all saw what a toll 2 1/2 months of dealing with this unprofessional company had taken a toll on my health. So i agreed to the ridiculous reduction in price to just be rid of Whitestone and move on. Now i'm stuck with replacing a door that in today's prices will be close to $2000. don't do business with these crooks. They send out workers who you have to stay on top of every step of the way. i had to point out flaws and areas they left unpainted on my iron security gates, my eaves, my other exterior doors and finally i'm going to have to purchase a new door because of them ruining a perfectly good solid wood door just due to the incompetence of Alex not staying on top of the workers they sent out and the workers themselves, who one admitted to me wasn't even of legal status in this country. These guys are crooks, do shoddy work then won't own up to the damage they've done to your home and to add insult to injury threaten to put a lien on your home just to get out of owning up to their screw ups. I work with the union of my employer, over 60, 000 employees and i'll use every tool at my disposal to inform them of this unscrupulous company. Stay clear. their accreditation means nothing because when they finally start your job, you can look forward to nothing but headaches, and excuses and then threats in the end. The whole management team, especially Chris and Carlos are the worst. They love playing hardball to get out of owning up to their shoddy work. Needless to say, they won't be touching my master suite paint job. I'll be looking elsewhere. John. C. read more
