hired EJ Renovations to redo our master and main bathrooms , full gut replace tub, toilet, vanity, tile floor and tub wall. As a tradesman, I have certain professional expectations for quality and workmanship. Elias, although very personable at the start is very incompetent as a tradesman. When I questioned the deficiencies noticed he began to make excuses as if I had no knowledge of the process or quality expectations. He requested a healthy deposit and then made a demand for another payment two days into the job!! The first few days went reasonably well as there was just demo and some drywall work being done. Once he started doing the tile, his lake of skill and quality workmanship became very apparent. Tiles were not flush, gaps were so tight the was not room for grout. He did not even know how to build a two shelf nitch in the wall. I requested that he replace the marble thresholds that he ruined with his incompetence, as well as replace the tiles on the tub walls. When I inspected his rework. I noticed other deficiencies that were plain enough for my wife to notice. I told him that this project was not working and terminated the contract. When I mention reimbursement for the poor work, he said he would do some figuring and see. When I did not hear from him in a week. I contacted him and made the request for a reimbursement of $2000. His reply was that his figures said he did not owe me any thing but would pay $500. Due to the lack of honesty, skill and personal integrity of this individual, I would not recommend EJ Renovations for any work.
