Horrible. This is an honest review. They promise and agree Toto one thing and then go over budget and expect you to pay for their bad costing. They will leave you with incomplete work. No one goes by any last names. The NY, NJ, CT and FL state attorney generals need to get on top over these people. They are thieving. All the reviews out there I can honestly say are not mean spirited but accurate. I have no affiliation with any other reviewer.

Joseph J. Armato is president / owner of Nationwide Contracting, Venetian Contracting, (previously Executive Adjustment Bureau / Metropolitan Restoration Inc.) and has affiliation with public adjuster group Adjustrite. Frank J. Cucinella is the "construction foreman". Adjustrite staff include: Kevin M. Taylor, Brett D. Joseph, John H. Capriles, Nilsa Rivera, Michele Rossi, Maribel Figeroa, and Michael Castellano. There is reason to believe that these people, and possibly various other architects, engineers, subcontractors, and insurance companies are involved an ELABORATE SCHEME that has committed and seeks to commit fraud on consumers.
Specifically, after one is a victim of a disaster such as a fire, shortly thereafter you sign on with a public adjuster (either Armato himself or adjusters from Adjustrite). These public adjusters are present the day of or morning after the fire and wear two hats; "public insurance adjuster" and "home improvement salesperson" - CONFLICT OF INTEREST. They subsequently encourage victims to sign on with Armato’s company as the primary contractor – THEFT BY DECEPTION. THERE IS NO INTENTION OF ACTUALLY COMPLETING THE PROJECT. It is delayed through various means, and repair jobs are not complete yet the company retains the majority if not all of the insurance settlement – INSURANCE FRAUD. During this process there is harassment, threats, intimidation, extortion, property destruction, and breaking and entering.
His business practices have resulted in extensive wealth (money and property) for himself and associates, while the consumers have become HOMELESS and destitute. A similar sequence of events has happened to over 125 people. Below are supporting references to this claim. Business practices should be thoroughly investigated as he may be in violation of certain city, state, and/or federal laws.

"An injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere."
UPDATE November 14, 2012
Since the freedom of information internet campaign started, the main characters from Adjustrite, Nationwide / Venetian Contracting have replied with a faulty internet campaign of their own. Please note that there are no official company websites. Each one of the key players has made a “brand yourself” page. They apparently have hired one or more internet companies to help repair an undeserved reputation, mostly through the use of dummy internet text and copying some of my posts with their own UNTRUTHFUL modifications. What doesn’t come out in the wash, comes out in the rinse. No lie lives forever. Consumers are in NEED of legitimate protection!

They work in collusion with Adjust rite Public Adjusters. They go by a bunch of different names. They also go by the name Structural Inc / Structural Design. Whose CEO is some guy named Phil 'who does not give a last name'. They are supposedly located on East Tremont Avnue in the Bronx and use an unsuspecting flyer shop called Penny Pincher as their front office. They are an elaborate scheme and Department of Insurance needs to shut them down. The Feds have got to get on to this. We lost everything, they delayed the job for months and then turned around and said we owed them money after they overspent on the insurance settlement.
