We hired Gonzalo Inostroza, on Nov 4, 2014 to install a backsplash and to repair and stain match some lightly scratched doors on the kitchen cabinetry. The work was supposed to take two weeks to complete. When we first met Gonzalo to discuss the project he seemed like a detailed professional with some good ideas and he was very prompt in returning calls and emails before the start of the project. The backsplash was installed first and when Mr. Inostroza came to inspect the work, he removed six cabinet doors at this time for repair. During the inspection Mr. Inostroza was made aware that there were some problems with the backsplash installation (gaps showing after the fixture plates had been reinstalled) and he assured us someone would be back within the next bit to fix the problem. Two weeks after this visit no one had returned to fix the backsplash problem and Mr. Inostroza had not contacted us to reinstall the kitchen doors. At this point we contacted Mr. Inostroza to get a time line on the repairs and completion of the project. Mr. Inostroza informed us that they were having a hard time with the stain match but they would be finished shortly. While once easily available, from this point forward Mr. Inostroza became basically impossible to reach either by phone or by email. We would eventually get a response when we would leave a message threatening further action but it was always the same answer, the work is not up to my standards yet, but you should have them back to you shortly. Finally on December 29 after many misses deadlines (the most recent being before Christmas) and with still no word from Mr. Inostroza on completion of the project and no phone calls to explain himself we informed Mr. Inostroza that we would be contacting the police to look at the possibility of fraud or theft charges since he had still not returned our doors even though he had been asked to do so on numerous occasions. On December 30 the doors were returned to us and to say the least we were shocked. Not only had no repairs been completed but the doors were in far worse shape than when he had removed them. All of the doors appear to have been left in water since they now have split seams and what appears to be mold damage. These doors previously had no damage other than a slight discoloration in the middle of one panel and surface scratches on the others. Needless to say we are very dissatisfied since we are now in a far worse and costly position. We have included a picture of our kitchen before and the resulting cupboards after.
Gonzalo was very concerned with the finished product. He didn't waste any time getting on top of the project from design to move in. The house is picture perfect. His tradesmen were courteous, on time, and the project budget was respected in every way.
Thank you for all the wonderful work.
