  full home remodel

  I purchased a home from an owner that hired Greg to draw their construction plans which he did. Unfortunately they were not able to complete the project and needed to sell. I called Greg to hire and pay him to make some changes to the existing plans he had already drawn that would have taken him 3-6 hours max and that being generous. I contacted Greg and left messages numerous times only to have him return my call after a 3 week span. Once he called back he seemed very nice over the phone and agreed to meet me at the home and take on the changes.
  We met at the home and spent about 1 1/2 hours making about 10 changes to the interior floor plan. Nothing drastic i might add. When we were done i asked Greg to let me know what he wanted to charge and i will send him upfront payment ASAP. I even offered to pay him with a check i had in my pocket on the spot. He said he would let me know a price and call me back within the next day or two. But to no avail all i hear are crickets so i reach out to him and continue to get his voicemail each time.
  At this point it was 2 weeks later and i was leaving for a 2 week vacation so i was at his mercy to get back to me when he could. About 5 days into my trip i get a return phone call from Greg but unfortunately i was on a 6 hour time difference and my phone was off so he left me a voicemail. He stated that he decided not to take the job because he obtained 2 larger jobs that were going to be taking up his time.
  When i awoke and received his message i was so angry because not only did he cost me a month of the home sitting without being able to work on the home i also had to try and hire a new architect to draw new plans for the entire home which cost me an additional $6000 because the Town of Hempstead requires this and another $7000 in permits, taxes and insurance because the house was left sitting. I called him numerous times pleading my case to please have him complete the job and that i was willing to pay him extra money for his time. Again crickets.
  If you have an upcoming project and are in need of an architect stay clear of Greg Isola. He obviously has no concern for peoples needs, never once answered the phone when called and cost me over $13,000 and months of time when all he needed to do from that start was to tell me he didn't want the job and i would have hired someone else.
