Rj Barillo Building Contractor

BUYER BEWARE-
RJ Bariilo was hired to replace decks, build a new roof over a deck, Install new drainage around the house, paint, and put on a new roof and gutters. The project was scheduled for 2 months and after 8 months, the job was still not complete. Ron was almost never on-site. His crew damaged a floor, a leather couch, killed a beautiful 25 year old Magnolia tree and another mature tree mysteriously disappeared from our property. The new porch would have not been built as discussed had we not been present for much of the job. We came home one day to find them framing to cover the entire deck. The crew was not aware of the design. Thankfully we caught that error before it was built. Our new roof has already leaked, as flashing wasn't installed under the T-111, and he didn't install gutters under drip edge. Near the location of the roof leak mold was found behind the kitchen cabinets, which necessitiated the kichen cabinets come out and drywall be replaced. Three times he threatened to walk off the job: the first because he was frustrated that HE kept buying the wrong lattice even through we specified the exact size, the second because the job was taking him so long and he didn't want to wait until the end for his final payment (and at that point we even paid him ahead of the agreed schedule) and the third time he made the decision to walk off our job he felt it wasn't financially worth it for him to finish the job and honor his contract, we would not agree to pay him early, and we would not agree to release him from the damages caused by his crew for which he did not want to accept responsibility. Ron poorly communicates agreed upon contractual direction to his crew, he rarely shows up on the job, when money is tight he pressures the customer for more payments, and some workmanship is sloppy resulting is damage to property.
