BEWARE of this contractor, but if you donâ t mind HIDDEN CHARGES then proceed. I hired Jason for a waterproofing job on 8/16/24. Initially, he was nice and even provided details on how I could secure financing from a bank for the job (almost $5000!), as well as a $500 â discountâ . On the day the repairs were supposed to begin, he called to tell me that I needed to pay an additional $500, so the â foremanâ can replace the wall and flooring after the job. The same $500 that was supposed to be a discount! yep, he took it back. I paid the additional $500, just so we could remain cordial and he gets the job done. When the repairs started, he told me it would start at 9am and end at 4-5pm on the same day, however, that was entirely FALSE. The repair took 2 days, in which he kept hounding me to call the bank to release the funds from the LOAN I took out for this repairs, and while the job was still NOT COMPLETED! On the second day, he reached out to me that the job was completed, however, what he didnâ t mention is that there was a gaping HOLE in the ground which he refused to cover unless I paid an additional $450! This is a total of $950 ADDITIONAL besides the initial cost of the job! This is where I drew the line on being EXPLOITED. So, I had to get someone else to complete a job that I paid thousands of dollars for to Presto Construction LLC!

Response from Company:

This customer was made aware that the removal of drywall and flooring was not included in her estimate before we started. Upon the start of the job her tenant was unhappy that the landlord did not arrange for the put back of drywall and flooring for her. We decided to help the customer by returning the drywall and flooring at an agreed upon price of $500 and proceeded. We finished the job exactly as what was explained and the tenant was unhappy that the sump pump cover was exposed and wanted the sump pump to now be boxed in to cover the appearance of the sump pump. The owner then contacted us and asked us to do her a favor and do the work for free and she would leave us an amazing positive review because she was so happy with the work but needed to make her tenant happy and she just did not have any money left. I proposed that we could do the box out of the sump pump for what the cost of material and labor would be and the owner declined. Now I believe this negative review is a retaliation of is not doing free work for her in return for a positive review. We always stand by our price and our work is always top of the line. We apologize we could not provide a free service for work that was never contracted or discussed. Again we appreciate all our customers comments and hope the other review will reflect on our integrity and company. We also have a copy of the text message this owner sent that shows she asked for free work in return for the positive review. (We are trying to get Angi to upload our text message records to show, but if any customer has any questions we would be happy to provide.)

I looked up their license number (147246) included on an estimate (https://www.dllr.state.md.us/cgi-bin/ElectronicLicensing/OP_search/OP_search.cgi?calling_app=HIC::HIC_qselect) and am not getting a result. Based on that, I believe Presto are lying to consumers about being licensed in the state of MD which from my understanding is against the law (https://labor.maryland.gov/license/mhic/mhiccon.shtml) Additionally, I'm not sure if he's an employee or owner but Jason Glassman has liens related other parties against them. You can look up the various cases on the MD courts website (https://casesearch.courts.state.md.us/casesearch/inquiry-search.jsp) Lastly, I'm not getting a building when I search up their address which leads me to believe they are hiding something. Overall, between the potential misrepresentation and court items, I would NOT recommend working with this company.

Response from Company:

This customer not only has our license # that he was able to verify but also made sure to receive our Certificate of Insurance. Upon asking for additional work to be done at no cost we obliged at the time of doing the work and went above and beyond to make this man happy. Bringing one of our employees personal financial information onto a public platform is beyond outrageous and egregious. We Try to make all of our customer very happy and as you can see by all our reviews we do that and go above and beyond. We appreciate the comments and will take them as they are. - Jeffrey Ventura

Presto was hands down the best option to complete our project. They were the most transparent and reasonable among several other companies we spoke with throughout the whole process and delivered a high quality of work in an insanely timely manner. They completed a visit, estimate, and the project within four days. We also ran into a couple of issues during the project which they discussed with me openly and at no point did they try to upsell me on additional work, products, etc. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Gave me upfront estimate, stuck with it, workmen gave good idea what they were going to do. Work very neat, well-done.
