AR Tile and Marble

I was also caught in the situation that the previous reviewer commented on. The extortion attempt is legitimate, don’t fall for it or pay him out any further. Ask for documentation and refer to the Consumer Protection Agency and report him to the fraud division of the region the work was done in.
Gaetano/Guytano of ABJM Marble, Tile and Demolition (whatever he’s going by based on the inconstant signatures), started off with a promising sales pitch, filled with freebies such as marble tiles, toilets, and handiwork but above all a commitment to timelines, quality and trust. We made the foolish mistake of paying Gaetano/Guytano a substantial down payment. In addition, Gaetano/Guytano asked for 2 advances on payments, citing a sad story about his brother being hospitalized, and how he was in dire need due to other funds being held on him (we have evidence of cheuqes being cashed and transcripts of conversations). The whole story about his brother is fictional.
We entered into a contract with him on January 3rd for a 10 day estimated completion and we’re now at February 20th, with my home is disarray. I had to fire Gaetano/Guytano after he yelled at my wife for calling him out on his unfair practices with sub-contractors. It came to our attention that he hadn’t been paying the subs for their work on our house, also to note, all 3 of which had not worked with him in the past. Even the garbage bin company has been trying to chase him down. Worst of all, after he had strung them along about payments for weeks, he changed his story and sent them after me and my wife for payments.
He’s quick with a “sir” and over the top commitments but beneath the façade there’s a very unprofessional individual.
Gaetano/Guytano, I know you’ll be reading this and will quickly go to work in denying and assigning the blame on the client or sub-contractor. Not a wise move in my opinion, own up to it. All I ask is that you make it right with the hard-working sub-contractors that you owe money to. I’m not even trying to get my money back or additional work from you, in fact, I wish to never see or hear about you again. I urge you to be an honest business person and pay out those individuals with proceeds from our deposit plus 2 additional payments I made to you. Totaling $9,000. I will not be intimidated by you. I encourage others to come forward on home stars since this is the funnel he uses to attract clients.
