"I hired JLF Construction to finish some spackle and paint our nursery. I wish I never did. I had Jose come out to give a quote. He looked everything over and immediately shot of a price way too high for what the scope of work was. I was providing all materials and tools just needed labor. I told him we would think it over and get back to him. From that day on he continued to harass me with phone calls and texts wanting me to hire him. Finally I explained we felt the price was too high and we'd be getting additional quotes. He then negotiated down to what I thought was a fair price and we hired him. He sold me on how he had over 40 years of experience. Showing pictures of work he recently completed that we liked. We set up a day for him to come out and do the work. I was working when he had the availability and my wife was home. She text me saying there were 3 people here total and she didn't think it was going too well. She said she thinks I need to look everything over but he was demanding payment and wouldn't leave. I text Jose and explained I wouldn't agree to pay until I was home to see the work completed. To my amazement when I got home the room looked awful. He had let his 20 year old son who had no experience cut in the paint. Lines weren't straight, paint on my ceiling in some areas and other areas paint didn't even go all the way up the wall and it wasn't a double coat cut in. The white paint under showed through where they cut in. I immediately called Jose expressing my concerns and he started threatening me, insulting me and telling me I want something for nothing. He threatened to come to my house the next day. My wife who is pregnant was afraid so I agreed to just pay him. He then offered to send his son back out but he refused to come fix it himself since he wasn't the one who did the cutting in. I refused. I was so disappointed after seeing all of his great reviews. I wish I never came across his business. We had to pay a professional painter to come out and fix the issues. Luckily they didn't try to change and arm and a leg. If I could tell anyone to look elsewhere when considering these guys I would. Also, just a side note he had his sons wash out the paint in my yard causing my grass to die. I had them on camera the entire time doing it and asked multiple times to please stop since I pay for lawn treatments. This entire experience ended up costing me more than what we budgeted."

"He finished the roof but did not tell me about the error in his workmanship. He did not finish the whole work. Update 12/22/2021: He finished the roof and said he fixed the problem, he showed me how he was to complete the repairs and after it was complete the work was not done in the manner he said he would do it. A new problem was noticed with the shingles and they are overhanging on a peak of the roof and are not attached and will blow off with high winds. The second part of the job, to put two sides on the shed was not done properly, he is charging me to come out to fix it, which is ridiculous, that is why contractors put that in their estimates. He was going to come out on a Saturday but change to Friday since it was going to rain on Saturday, when he called me and by the time he arrived on the job site it would be dark, I told him I did not want him to work in the dark with a flashlight. he keeps giving me excuses on why he cannot come out on certain days for personal reasons. The job should have been completed in October, except for his constant excuses for not being able to come out. If the problems are not resolved by the end of the year I will escalate this by other means."

"Friendly and quick service!"

"Hired them through Select Home Warranty. Told me I had to pay for additional parts not covered by the warranty. Nearly three months later, after paying for the parts, they still tell me that they are waiting for the parts. I think they are lying. I am filing a complaint with the Attorney General's Office and contacting 6ABC consumer help. Might even get my niece involved at this point. And yes she is a lawyer and a Consumer Protection Lawyer at that. This would be right up her alley...stay away from these guys. They take your money, promise to call but never do and leave you hanging. "

"They did a great job for us. "

"I am extremely unhappy. They were hired to rip out all of the flooring and patch and level out the concrete subfloor. They were going to install LVP flooring and new baseboard. They were also going to paint teo walls. I was told it was going to be a two to three day job. Since they were doing my entire condo I needed to stay in a hotel. They ordered the flooring from Home Depot on July 30th. They showed up around 8:30 am on August 4th to start ripping up the old flooring and start patching. They told me on August 6th that the flooring would be delivered either August 12th or 13th. They had patched the living room and dining room and only pulled of some of the flooring in the kitchen. They leveled the concrete in the dining room to the kitchen floor that hadn't been ripped up and said they decided it wasn't necessary to remove the kitchen floor and it would now cost a lot more to do what I asked for. They told me that they would only pull up one of the layers of old flooring in the bathroom because if they ripped up the tile it would damage the concrete underneath that needed patching in the first place. They left the windows open and patched concrete in front of it so there was no access to close the windows. It was 90°+ with high humidity that affected how the concrete dried. Since the flooring didn't arrive at Home Depot until Aug 13th, I had to extend my hotel stay an extra 10 days. Even though they said they would try to pick up the flooring on the 13th and start that day, they waited until the 14th. When they arrived that morning they told me the flooring need to sit in my home for 2-3 days to acclimate before installing. I told them I couldn't wait. So they started the installation that day. They locked up that day since I wasn't able to go check on things til they came back in the morning. When I let the worker in in the morning I was upset that they started laying the planks the wrong direction. When I call the owner to tell him it was wrong he said they decided to put it that way and that since half was already done they wouldn't change it. They decided what kind of baseboard to install. They were supposed to match it to the basebord attached to the panel in the kitchen and dining room that couldn't be replaced. Instead the new baseboard is an inch and a have taller and it's not even. The edges aren't finished off and the caulking is lumpy. There are gaps between the floor and baseboard. There are bad cuts in the floors around corners abd door jams. The caulking is extremely noticeable. There is almost a two inch difference in height between the bedroom and bathroom which creates a safety issue. The never removed any of the old flooring before putting down the new and didn't remove the vanity. They just cut around it. They removed most of the threshold between the bathroom and laundry area and did move the track for the doors like I had asked. There is nothing holding the floor down at the door threshold, it lifts straight off the floor. Unfortunately I wasn't able to notice a lot since they finished late and there was only a lamp or two in the rooms since there really isn't any overhead lights. While Walking around the floors moved and sounded hollow. They had told me there was thick padding attached to the back of the planks and it would cushion any small imperfections in the subfloor. I tried showing them all the areas where the floor was uneven and hollow sounding. They walked over the spots and denied feeling anything. They even asked the realtor and she shiwed them and they denied it. They kept saying that if I could show them the spots they would fix it and stand behind their work even though I showed them. They left trash behind. It took me two hours to sweep and mop so I could move my furniture back in the next morning. They damaged a stand fan left behind to use. The dented the dishwasher and didn't put it fully back in place. The door won't close so I don't even know if it works. They moved and scratched my brand new washer dryer combo with pedestal drawer that won't open because they moved it. I found out that my router was reset and security camera disabled. I also found a half empty beer can on the balcony that no one else had access to. My realtor said there is no way I can put it on the market in the condition it's in. The contractor knew I was redoing the floors to put it on the market. The contractor came over to discuss the issues I had while my realtor was there. It was a disaster and there was yelling since I was constantly interrupted. They said that it wasn't their job to double check with me about which way the planks were to be laid or what baseboard to use. When they painted the walls, they didn't take out the old anchors for the curtain rod and patch. They painted over it and painted around the curtain rod. They told me that no one takes off curtain rods and paints under them. They had no comment about not patching the small nail holes before painting. They said things were my fault and that they weren't intimidating me. They finally said they would fix the baseboard, kitchen floor and bathroom floor but that I would have to buy all new material. Or they would give me $1,500 to have someone else do it. They said that I knew the delivery date and was fine with it. I tried to tell them the text they sent me didn't show the date, but was told I was lying about everything and he wasn't talking to me anymore. I told them that when I talked to Home Depot about the delivery date and proper material needed because of the hollow siund, they told me that the people at Home Depot are stupid and don't know what they're talking about because they just sit behind a computer. When the owner said that they would fix the baseboard, bathroom floor and kitchen floor, he said he would do it his way and that I had to let him know the next day and I was only allowed to text him once. When I texted the next day saying I needed more time to think he told me that he wasn't going to do what he said he would. Unfortunately they wouldn't do a written contract, everything was through text or verbal. That was my fault obviously. But he showed that he was top rated by Angi and sll the reviews were 5 star and pictures were beautiful of other work done."

"I had a water leak that damaged my living room ceiling. He came out, cut out the drywall to determine the source of the leak. Then repaired the pipe, replaced the ceiling drywall and painted. He was fast and thorough. Now you can’t tell where the ceiling was damaged. He did a great job. I highly recommend him."

"In all cases he put in what he wanted, and in all cases it was a lot cheaper and WITHOUT RECEIPTS . We were charged for the upgrades but did not get them (Refused to provide receipts,even when asked repeatedly (we have texts from him saying NO RECEIPTS, NO RECEIPTS! NO RECEIPTS!). They cut a huge hole in our garage ceiling for I have no reason why. Also one in the bathroom closet. Bought cheaper toilets than the ones we chose. Became very annoyed with my wife, said he would return them but didn't and installed them anyway. This we know because they still had the identifying sticker still on it. They put the wrong flooring in. We picked one that would match the existing hallway floor. It was an upgrade so we were charged more money and they put in the cheap floor anyway. The bathroom tub was supposed to be a nice tub to go with the expensive tiles we picked. They put in the cheapest tub they could buy and refused to take it out. They then put non slip silicone strips on the bottom that makes it look even cheaper. We came to find that the reason for the strips was to hide a chip that was there. They were repeatedly told we wanted SLIDING shower doors. They purchased the cheapest one they could find with a door that opens out. We asked for power flush jet toilets. They purchased watersense toilets, got mad when we told them it was not what we wanted. Finally said they would return them but put them in anyway. They left the water sense sticker on them is how we were sure. . There were cabinets put in without spacing and as a result the doors and drawers wouldn't open without scraping against the one beside it. We had to replace and buy new ones. The countertop was installed without having a plumber come in beforehand and set up the drain, so now installation of a garbage disposal is impossible without removing the countertops and cabinets. In both bathrooms, the wall niches have mostly gray and dirty white half inch thick threshold pieces to box them out (our bath is brown based) that were cut short at the ends, then filled with gray grout as filler. They couldn't look more horrible. They were also asked to put in white grout to match the brown and white of the bathroom tiles. They put in gray. Towards the end, we asked for proof of license to contract along with receipts. They refused. We told them not to continue work until they could give us receipts and proof of license. The very next day, I came down to find workers there scrambling to finish the job they had so far taken them two months to do. We received numerous and lengthy text messages from them cursing us out, accusing us of sexual impropriety and calling us foul names until we finally had to called the police. Succinctly, this company and the persons we dealt with, Perry Panaccio and his brother Al Panaccio, are a nightmare and not people you ever want have do anything for you! I am seriously considering suing, which I have never done...it is that bad!"
