Toscano Woodworking

DO NOT HIRE The uptown guy Nola/Toscano Woodworking (Jose Alberto Toscano). He left our kitchen torn up, did poor work, did not complete jobs, left a hole in the side of our house leading to a raccoon infestation ($500 to remedy), was paid to fix a roof leak that still leaks, and has now stopped responding to me for almost two months (calls, texts, FB messages and emails, I really did try to give him the benefit of the doubt). I paid him to clear up the debris in the side yard and have several texts saying he will do it in August, which obviously didn't happen. Also, he "borrowed" my $70 ladder two months ago to work on other houses and has not returned it. I feel like a failure for being taken advantage of, I am generally careful with who I trust and I made a big mistake. Jessa and I have been working so hard to get our house fixed up and he has set us back so far. Worst of all, we feel betrayed by someone who presented as a friend (we have mutual friends, I have played soccer in the same league as him). So please do not make the same mistake we did. *Also, I have pictures and texts to back up everything I have said here.

Alberto was given a 50% deposit for wood window repairs. He showed up sporadically, never on time, poor communication, did not complete the project, and has failed to respond to messages over the last 2 months. I am pursing the matter legally. I would not recommend Mr. Toscano for any services.
