Masullo Improvements

Description of Work: Chris came to my rescue after I started a home remodeling project. He helped me get my kitchen back in order: removing a valence, putting up molding, moving cabinetry, removing old backsplash...

Description of Work: Tiled Backplash, Tiled 2 bar areas, grouted tile in kitchen and hall, installed new door, fixed electrical plugs, caulked areas around trim, aligned cabinets, fixed design of vent a hood, laid baseboards and corner round, drilled holes for knobs, and cleaned up after old contractors (did not ask to do it but they did which was so nice)

Description of Work: We wanted to expand the end of our house out by 10 feet. We were expanding the Master bath, Master closet, adding a whole new bath the guest bathroom and adding a small walk in closet to the guest bedroom. The floors were to be wood in the guest bedroom, master bedroom and in both closets. He was supposed to build shelves in the Master bedroom closet along with the clothes racks. The guest closet was just supposed to be a simple closet with the hanger rack and a shelf above the clothes. The Master bathroom was to be tiled in 18" terrazzo stone and have a heated floor. The guest bathroom was a standard 60" tub with tile. The Master bathroom shower was larger than normal but we subcontracted this out to be done with cultured Marble and was done beautifully. We made the initial down payment on 3 December 2013 to start the work. He wanted and we paid in stages as he did the work. Trouble was when he was getting close to finishing the work in each stage of the work he would work feverishly to complete it. Once he was paid the installment amount he would then disappear for several days and only come back after we started complaining about his absence. He would always tell us he only wanted to do what we wanted and wanted us to be happy. The total contract was to be $41,812.00 and we paid him $32,000.00. He messed up the tile in the guest bathroom wall so bad we decided to remove it and have it replaced with something similar by professional tile people we have had dealings with in the past. In their words his tiling was rather amateurish at best. He also messed up the floor in the master bath. He had never put down electrical heating in a floor before which he told us after he had taken the contract. Instead of getting an experienced person to help him he did it himself and poured self leveling cement on top without properly securing the wire to the floor properly with a mastic or glue as prescribed in the instructions manual. I read it after I saw the mess. The electrical elements were forced to the top and the floor was poorly prepared. He then attempted to lay the Terrazzo tile on top. The lines were crooked, the tile was uneven and again the tillers we hired to fix the problem were amazed he did something as poorly as this. He only tiled about 1/3 of the masterbath before he quit. Finally after over 4 months and still multiple items to be done I had to tell him his services would no longer be needed. Had he just showed up and started to work we could have overlooked his poor tiling and would have let him finish. What was left undone was the rock work on the outside of the house on the east and west side. He told the subcontractor (which he hired) to call me and get his money from me for the work he had done since he was no longer on the job. There was a large cut hole in the Master bedroom closed left open when the electrician moved a light. The wood flooring in the Master closet was not finished along with the wood flooring in the guest bedroom and closet. 4 doors were not hung, he never put the doors in for the pocket doors he mad
