Professional con man Gary Ernest Melchiorre of Star Brand Construction talked a charming line and story as he discussed how he could help me and my family with remodeling and improving our home after being hit by a fire. Unfortunately I fell for his slick talk as he conned me out of over $51,000 and walked off the job without completing the job and correcting the errors he and his crew made.
I have a handicapped brother with special needs and Star Brand Construction Gary Melchiorre left my home torn apart and my brother without a restroom to meet his needs. Melchiorre would never put anything in writing. I requested him to place something in writing and he never has. His greed to get more and more insurance money became very apparent. Star Brand Construction installed a shower that does not drain properly and the grout and tile are uneven and messy. The poor quality work is now costing me to have it redone. Gary Melchiorre was well aware of this and other work that he and his crew performed that was unacceptable.
The drywall texture that Star Brand construction placed on my walls and ceilings is unacceptable and I now have to pay for the job to be done correctly. The tile flooring did not have adequate thin-set and is uneven. The painting has streaks and runs. They moved items in my house and broke many things. Star Brand Construction caused more problems than I can begin to mention.
Gary Melchiorre had high turn over with his employees and arguments in front of me. Gary even tried to get me to pay him in cash. He does not like to have a paper trail or put his empty promises in writing. He initially came off as a caring and concerned person. Unfortunately I learned that he is a true con man. I would not trust Star Brand Construction, Gary Melchiorre, or anyone associated with this company. Gary Melchiorre has felony charges from October in Florida for his so called construction business and business practices.
Do yourself a favor and find a reputable company to work with. Gary Ernest Melchiorre has set up a track record as a ripoff con man.
