These guys came to my work to pour a pad. They put all the dirt on the flat landscape trailer. I asked if they were going to transport it like that and they said yes. I told them if they did than I would call the police. One of the men threatened me and said they were going to do it anyway. Afterwards they loosely put a tarp over the dirt and chained down an excavator on top of it. I told them that they still cant do that and the same man just started swearing at me an left anyway. I'm filing the police report right now.
While they were here they had no respect for us moving around or the customers that had to get by. Very rude and incompetent.
I am posting this for no other reason than to WARN homeowners and businesses against hiring or having any dealings with this contractor. The man's first name, as he gives it, is "Salvatore". He claims to be licensed and registered as a contractor but each time that you ask him for proof, he comes up with excuses. I made the mistake of not demanding this before contracting with him.
One clear ID of him is the license plate on his red Ford F150. It is *******. He demands payment in cash. I made the mistake of giving him $4,000 in advance for "material", then, when some of the material arrived, he didn't have more than a few hundred to give to the driver and demanded that I advance the difference or else. I did that since "Salvatore" already demolished the fence and made a mess on the street which needed to be cleared up. Salvatore insisted that he will leave unless the driver is paid the additional in cash which he ("Salvatore") was short of.
This scenario repeated itself. Not only this, but he damaged the neighbour's property and when the neighbour complained to him, he spat on the man and threatened him.
Without finishing the job and after taking more than $12,000 in cash, he disappeared and never came back nor answered his phone for weeks. I finally succeeded in having him pick up the phone when I called him from a different number. At that point he responded by shouting profanities and threats, including racial slurs.
The work that he did do is substantially sub-standard and has to be re-done.
DO NOT FALL FOR HIS SWEET TALK AND PROMISES. Although I lost over $12,000 that this contractor stole from me, it is a worthwhile lesson NEVER to hire a contractor without full investigation of his background and sufficient proof of WHO he is as well as verified licensing and address.
