A true sheep in wolf's clothing.
We signed a contract with this contractor and he agreed to complete the 2 BDRM renovation within a time frame and did not complete the work. We were reasonable, accessible and understanding due to the issues the contractor had with the 100+ year old building where apartment is located. We gave the contractor two additional time limits to complete - which he did not. After various confrontations with the contractor he finally made our apartment "ready to live in". During the week of that we discovered various issues including: no grout used in our shower/bath, no grout used on our new bathroom tiles, no corking or silicone used to close major gaps in window sills - leaving a terrible draft throughout apartment and improperly installing our new vanity with sink and medicine cabinet - that is unusable. We now must hire another contractor to complete the aforementioned issues and many others. After seeing the list of glaring undone work we FIRED the contractor and refused to pay him his final payment in which he chose to threaten our family. The unfortunate thing most of all is this person "presented" themselves as a friend to our family for nearly eight years and basically swindle us with labor expenses, extravagant purchases of household items and numerous hotel and food bills we accumulated due to the fact we were displaced for nearly 30 days after having to leave our former apartment.
This man is not a qualified contractor - he has a lot of grandiose ideas but can not complete. He is not trust worthy with your home, your family's welfare and especially your money.

Having seen the apartment in question and having knowledge of all parties represented, I am stunned at this report. The couple frankly underpaid the contractor who as a favor for friends worked literally 24 hours a day for 2 months to do a complete gut renovation of their apartment. The contractor literally slept in the apartment to accomplish the long list of items that the couple requested. The renovation included redoing the floors, redoing both bedrooms, installing a kitchen, repairing a floor that had a hole down to the basement, as well as much more. The contractor charged the couple 1/10 of the actual cost of the renovation.
Naively and to cut corners, the couple moved out of their apartment before the renovation was completed and was surprised that the renovation took longer than expected. It is surprising that educated people can make such shortsighted decisions putting their 2 year old son in harm's way. That is completely irresponsible.
Instead of allowing the contractor to put the final touches on the renovation, they have submitted this false report. Moreover, not to pay a small business owner who is doing them a favor is beyond reprehensible - especially after the contractor had performed many renovations in the past for the couple free of charge.
I have worked with the contractor in the past who does regular renovations for ESRA realty and has received only positive feedback. It is disappointing that lies like this would be put in writing to discredit someone's livelihood especially with such irresponsible behavior on the part of this mother and father. They should truly feel ashamed of themselves.
Clearly, the credibility and level of responsibility of this couple should be questioned, and the credibility of this report denied. -

- One addition. The lynchpin that holds this couple's complaint together is that a hired contractor destroyed their marriage and put their child in danger. Clearly that is the most ridiculous assertion. Clearly the parents are responsible for their child, or in this case not acting responsibly at all. In addition, if a contractor could destroy this couple's marriage, the relationship had to be weak to begin with. It is ridiculous to blame a contractor for the couple's own personal problems. Instead of writing to this site, they should more appropriately seek the help of a marriage counselor or child services.
