Welbilt, Inc.

BUYER BEWARE!!! I am writing to hopefully prevent someone else from the costly Hellish nightmare we just went through with them. Moran Moe Elkarif and Ben Nino (Halifi) Hunter are NOT licensed contractors. Their company has a license number by way of a third party who is technically responsible but that you will never meet. They have been sued multiple times under different licenses and different company names, but you won't find that online at first glance as they typically settle out of court with the caveat that you sign a nondisclosure agreement to remove their bad reviews and press. There is a current case right now where the CSLB is suing to revoke their license for good -- search Moonlight Construction for lawsuit information. And since we terminated work with them due to material breaches of contract, I have found others who were harmed by this companys business practices. They will come in, promise you the world, personally show up for a week or two to gain your trust, find other projects around your home and make change orders so they can illegally continue to collect large deposits for work not even started, then leave the workers to do the best they can with no oversight and/or materials. The workers have a hard time getting paid so they will abandon your project to leave you with the next random crew they find to hire, and your project timeline will triple and still not be complete. My children did not have a bedroom for three months!!! You will be so frustrated at the lack of attentiveness and ownership and just want out at which time they will argue with you in your driveway and offer you a ridiculously low amount of money to walk away. In our case, what started out as a small-ish mold removal/upgrade project turned into a whole house ordeal. These guys took 95% of the money and only completed 50% of the job -- maybe. And of that 50%, we are having to redo/repair at least half of that due to damage they have caused. Every contractor we have had out since the last date we saw them shakes their head in disbelief at the work they did do and says they have never seen anything like it -- shoddy craftsmanship, things not up to Code or even safe, gutted kitchen, damaged roof. Besides all the mental/emotional trauma our family has endured, we are left trying to pick up the pieces and move forward with no money because they have all of it. Honestly I do not know how they sleep at night. DO NOT -- I repeat -- DO NOT even engage with these guys. But if you must, make sure to get a copy of their liability insurance and verify it is still active before starting and make sure you are home when they do the work.

Do not hire this company! Moe and Ben are not legitimate contractors, they are con artists. They have at least two contractor licenses for two different businesses. There are multiple CSLB complaints and lawsuits against them.
