We will never allow businesses to pay for review alterations, editing, or removals. Published reviews have undergone strict examination to avoid fraudulent/fake review posting. Learn more.
Fraud! Just like so many below us. We gave a deposit and never heard from him again.
Everyone should file a complaint to the CRA! There is a way to do this.
Go to suspected fraud for this company as we are not likely to collect our money very easily without legal representation and more money out of our pockets but this should not happen to anyone else. This man belongs in jail. Anything above 5k constitutes fraud.
File the complaint as we are a sufficient number for this man to be flag. Also file a BBB complaint.
Buyer Beware….
When meeting Joseph, for a quote for our basement. Answer all our questions, after giving our deposit of $15K for work to be completed two months later for June 2021. Since the day of deposit we have seen Joseph once for 5 mins. No communication unless we call. Delay after delay with empty handed promises with failure to show up. And now no communication at all of when we will begin if at all.
I am writing this review to share my recent experience with Belmont Craftsmen.
In March 2021, I signed a contract with them for the basement renovation of my house, a which time a deposit of 10,880 dollars was given to Joseph for material purchasing. The contract stated that he will begin work on May14, and the work will be completed in 6 weeks.
Only after numerous calls and text messages he finally returned my call on May16 and said that a load of lumber will be delivered to my house. The load arrived 2 weeks later, at which time Joseph and 2 workers brought the lumber to the basement. I was told that they will start the following day.Nobody showed up next day, only after repeated phone calls an txt messages he came on May31at 10am and left at 3.00pm, mentioning that they have another work to finish. He promised that they will return next day and the work will be completed as per contract.
They never returned, after few days I found a letter at my door step written by Joseph stated that he will NOT be unable to complete the job.
I tried to call, email, txt him and got no replay, the business address exists but doesn’t belong to Belmont Craftsmen. I believe I won’t see any money back as I can’t get in touch with Joseph Boseli, the owner of Belmont Craftsmen.
In my personal opinion based on my experience with them, Belmont Craftsmen is a complete fraud.
Work was of very good quality and finishing was top notch. The work took a lot longer than what I expected due to some circumstances but overall the quality of work was actually pretty nice.
I didn't like and so tired and got sick with josheph and his partner, in contraction was 2 months but he took over 6 months and he always put his family problem on business and just Finnish and water from main floor wash room come to wash room basement alot look like raining...so I really tired...
BEWARE!
On July 8th 2020 I hired Belmont Craftsman to finish my basement. The job was supposed to be completed by August 20th 2020.
Joseph and his 2 crew worked on the framing 2 days a week for a few hours only. I complained to Joseph many times that the job is not progressing well and he will not finish on time. He told me not to worry he has completed many jobs in a rush. The last time Joseph worked on my basement was July 30th 2020. Today is August 24th 2020.
I tried calling Joseph, emailing, and texting him and got no response.
I went to the address he has on the website and met someone who rents unit 4 and he told me Belmont Craftsman does NOT have a unit there!
I gave Joseph Boseli of Belmont Craftsman $15000.00 deposit and now I can’t find him. I am beginning to think I am being scammed. If someone knows where Joseph is and where he is working now please let me know as I would rather not go to the police.
After posting this review Joseph contacted me and ask that I remove the review because he had to travel and when he return he will continue with my basement. Today is January 11th 2021 and I haven't heard from Joseph except the time I called him from another phone and he immediately answer and promise to continue in a few weeks.
DO NOT give Belmont Craftsman any large deposit or you will be sorry.
Joseph and crew did a great job totally redoing our washroom and floors. Lots of big spaces, suggestions for improvements, and it's very bright and beautiful.
They started the project before the pandemic restrictions went in place, and kept working thru it, following the safety regulations and gathering material even when stores were shut down or limited. Thru all those challenges they still did a great job and for a good price.
I used Belmont Craftsmen to renovate my bathrooms. I was looking for a reputable company and out of several quotations from various companies they seemed to be the better choice. I had ideas of what I wanted and Joseph had suggestions as well to add to my vision. After choosing Joseph to do the job he dropped by with a detailed contract and a few days later I gave him the first deposit so they can start the job. It took longer than I would like but it's complete and the bathrooms look great. I had some issues along the way and Joseph was more than happy to rectify them.
We used Belmont craftsmen for a large renovation including our full basement and main floor bathroom. They showed up when they said they would and stayed until the work was completed. They care about the results of the work and the input of the customer. It was a great experience and I would use them again.
