We got our house remodeled by this contractor few years ago. It was a terrible experience. Carlos was very hard to work with to say the list. He asked for extra charges for the things that we had already discussed and were included in the quote. We ended up paying him much more for the same work. On top of that we are still discovering serous issues with the construction, furnace( he used a sub standard and incompatible with AC), drainage pipe, hole in the roof. It was a bad decision to go with him.
