Marios Home Renovations

The most irresponsible contractor I have ever met. He made our first floor (kitchen, dining and living room). I'm not even talking about his work discipline (today he's in, tomorrow he's out without any explanations and so on), he did sanding not covering our furniture. We spent a Sunday's evening clearing our coach and chairs from the dust.

Thank you, Mario, for you "great" work!

Mario,
I can't ignore your reply because it is totally untrue and you know that very well. Besides you are a bad worker you are also a dishonest person. I already sent you email proving that you DID work for me. If you want to bring me to the court then do it.

Mario,

First of all, it absolutely doesn't matter if you worked for me directly or indirectly. You did work in my house and you did it BAD.

Second, even accepting your argument that you did not work for me directly, I have an email where you asking ME and MY WIFE to pay YOU for YOUR work. Why you were asking ME if you said you did not work for ME?

Third, I have emailing saved between me and Art of Interiors where I complained on your undiscipline and negligence.

Forth and the last, you probably forgot that I have a formal contract (hard copy, paper) signed by ME and YOU.

You gave me 24 hours, now you are giving me another 24 hours. I don't understand why. If you want to bring me to the court then just do it.

WORST CONTRACTOR EVER! I DO NOT RECOMEND MARIO TO ANYONE! I was very disappointed by the quality of work provided not to mention the fact that our house was robbed while him and his team were on site. Mario kept asking for money and were naive enough to give it to him until we realized that he was playing us. He did not know what he was doing and he hired inexperience workers who did a poor job under poor guidance. We had to FIRE him and hire someone else. On a $230,000 budget for an addition, we ended up paying $150,000 MORE to fix his mistakes.
Here are a few of the major issues I had with this company:
1) There was not one single straight wall built by Mario.
2) None of the 3 washrooms he did were done right. All of them had poor tiling (had to be redone) and he broke the heated floors we wanted installed
3) There was poor electrical work. He could have burnt our house down. The ESA discovered that he brought unlicensed electricians on site!
4) His renovations were not up to code. Before firing Mario I noticed cracks and sagging on two beams he had installed. I got my new contractor to open up the walls and realized that for the support posts Mario used 2x4 instead of 6x8 profiles. Mario decided himself to remove a post from the approved plan. He was dishonest stating that his engineer approved to this change. After firing Mario, I called the city inspector for a full inspection. He failed the beam as it was a structural hazard. Apparently, Mario's engineer was not a licensed engineer and could not have approved anything! He put my family at risk.
5) Workers did not come to work on my house for days. Thus, Mario never met discussed deadlines.
6) On extremely numerous occasions, Mario threatened not to return to work unless weekly payments were received, even though he had not progressed in his work.
7) Mario built a porch, supporting my son’s balcony, with a very poor foundation which showed cracks immediately. This was an obvious hazard.
Horrible experience for my entire family.

Excellent work, competitive price, and professional workmanship. Although most of the time the weather didn't cooperate with them, they still found ways to finish the job at the earliest possible time. . Good job guys!!!

We were very pleased with the work Mario did. The job was done on time, to our complete satisfaction, and his price was competitive. He was very professional throughout. We will use his services again.

I decided to call Mario again to paint and install hardwood flooring
in our house.Mario sent his team and they did an excellent job painting and hardwood flooring my house.They always arrived on
time every morning and worked hard to get the job done.The
prep work was very good ,everything was covered and sealed.
They did a good job on patching up the flaws on the ceiling and walls.I would highly recommend Mario's Home Renovation. Thanks Mario

I'm very impressed with the quality of work done by Mario's Home renovation. From the time I got the estimate until the end of project I was able to follow what & how everything was done. I have to say that the project went according to the schedule and within the proposed budget. We are pleased to finally have our basement done according to our ideas and have a large and beautifully finished area to enjoy. I would definitely recommend Mario for your home improvement projects. Thank you.
