ARenovations

This guy is Spanish. He goes by the name Jose, Alejandro or Marin. We found him on Home Depot Pro Referral page. He came across as a professional that knows the job BUT HE KNOWS NOTHING!!!. All the renovations he did were substandard. Within a week of using the bathroom, the floor tiles started moving and making noise when you walk on them. Bathroom faucet was installed wrongly with water coming out of the shower and tap simultaneously. He used the wrong grout for the bathroom wall tiles. He damaged the bathroom vanity sink and the wall closet doors while installing them. Damaged the kitchen sink while working in the unit. Painting was not done perfectly. There were also other minor fixes that were included in the contract that we discovered were not done. He refused to show up when called upon to fix these issues. At the onset, he claimed he has a team of people working for him, saying he will be done in 2 weeks. He took a month. He asked for a substantial payment even before starting saying his workers will not work if not paid. Within one or two weeks of the job starting, he was asking for more part payment again saying his workers needed to be paid. He is also a thief. He said he needed some items to complete the work and that he couldn’t wait for me to get them. I asked him to go ahead and and buy them but bring the receipts. It was much later when I was going over the receipts that I found out he had purchased two work tools for himself on one of the receipts. The job was for a vacant unit which was very far away from where we lived which made it hard to monitor while the renovations was going on but we had trusted and believed that if he was listed with Home Depot, then he must know the job. We were wrong. We reported him to Home Depot but even they could not get him to show up to get the issues fixed. I decided to put up this review so that someone else will not fall victim. Do not be swayed by his website especially with the listed pictures/videos of jobs he had done or be swayed by his verbal knowledge of the job with what best brand is needed to be bought to do the job and why.
