I emailed an internet company called Riliable Remodelers.com. They informed me 3 companies were going to contact me regarding kitchen countertop estimates. They were 2 companies that contacted me on the phone. The one company that caught my attention was Mid Florida Contracting.
The owners name is Pete Spaziano. The owner called me and explained to me that he had a special on Corian Countertops at $25.00 per square Foot. I felt at the time this is a great deal.
He visited my house on December 15th. He came and showed me 2 samples of Corian Countertops colors. He also provided me 2 brochures with additional colors and sinks designs.
The guy at the time provided me copies of his Occupatinal Lincese, Insurance and his original Drivers Lincense. At this time I felt everything was legit. I gave him a deposit for $1250.00 with an installed date of December 21st.
I called Reilable Remodelers on the phome and to check if he was one of the companies that they had recommeded. They said they never heard of them.
At the time I tried to stop payment on the check on December 18th. It was too late. I called Mid Florida Contracting to expressed my concerns. He assured me everything will be fine and he will be installing the counter tops on December 21st.
December 21st arrived and the Countertops never came. I called him on the phone and he explained to me that they will be a delay on the countertops because of the holidays.
I called him on December 22nd and his cell phone was diconnected. I called his cellphone provider Nextel. The company spokesman explained to me his service was cut off because of non payment.
I finally realized that he is a rip off artist He did called me on December 26th to let me know that he is still working on it.
My wife called him and rip him for being unprofessional and not following up on his promises.
We did some researched on Spaziano. He has been summoned to Small Claims court at leat 10 times. And the Sheriff has been unable to serve him his papers.
We agreed to cancel our contract and demanded our $1250.00 Deposit back. He explained to me that he need to get the money from his corporate office. The check will be mailed to him on Friday the 29th.
He called me Friday morning and explained to me he will have the money today and will drop it off by this afternoon at 12:00 PM.
Well I called him he explained to me that his mail has not arrived and he will check at 1:00 pm and call me.
He called me at 3:30PM and told me his mail has not arrived yet.
I knew it was useless. Because the guy is a fraud, liar, con artist and a thief. I would caution anybody to keep this comapny off their property. Small Claims is useless. The TV Station and newspapers dont think my story is worth their time.
This guy is a hacker he gets into computer program for the remodeling companies and gets names and phone numbers.
This has been a tough year. I got ripped off by Awards Pools for liens totalling $9000.00 and this rip off artist came along.
I wrote the Consumer Fraud Dept. I'm not sure whether they can get this guy.
