LaMonica Tile

Description of Work: We hired LaMonica to remodel our master bath after reading his reviews. We paid him a deposit and he did a little demo. He brought in a plumber who he had never worked with before, who removed the fixtures leaving us with an unusable bathroom. He walked off the job and left us with an unpaid dumpster in our driveway and an unpaid plumber! He has not returned any of our messages.

Description of Work: Jason Lamonica (owner of Lamonica Tile in Connecticut) took on the responsibility for renovating our master bathroom. He had been recommended by Home Advisor and we saw he had good reviews on Angie’s List. However, he deserves a failing grade. Here is why: 1. The tiling was done poorly, with no attention to detail. The tiles and chair rail were not placed evenly. There are noticeable gaps between tiles and some of the edges protrude from the wall. The tiles in the shower were not sloped to drain properly. Exceptionally poor quality of workmanship. 2. Jason made constant excuses for not showing up. We were able to confirm that he was lying on many occasions. 3. Jason had a plumbing subcontractor who had not been paid for the last few jobs with Jason. Half way through the plumbing job, he suggested we use another plumber so that he would not have to pay him. When we refused, Jason abandoned the job (he had taken 50% down and, if he paid the plumber the past dues, the remaining 50% would not have been enough). That plumber has stopped doing any business with Jason. 4. He has not returned our calls. So, we have hired other contractors to complete the job, including the plumber, whom we paid for this job. 5. Do not make the mistake of using this guy, or his assistant, Ryan. Do not make the mistake of using this guy, or his assistant, Ryan.
