I contracted A.M. Contracting of NY Corp to brickpoint and waterproof my house's 3 exterior walls, to replace 4 window lintels, to replace a drainage pipe, and to attach covers over 2 attic vents. The company president, Mr. Anjum Masnoon told me he was a professional with 30 years of experience. He promised to do an excellent job and remove all work related debris. He guaranteed his work for 15 years. He and I agreed on a price of $5000. He and I signed a contract and I gave him $1400 downpayment.in the contract he promised to grind between every brick, top to bottom, to a depth of 1/2 inch. His men ground one whole wall and began applying cement. Upon returning from work, I apporached the wall to check on the progress and discovered they had only ground to 1/4 inch, missed grinding many bricks, and damaged nearly 40 bricks. About 5 % of the wall was very sloppily cemented. The cement was applied with uneven lines, protruding ridges, and uneven color. My fence and grounds were covered with cement droppings due to their sloppiness. I immediately told them to stop applying cement. I called Mr. Masoon and expressed my dissatisfaction. He came over and became very defensive. I asked him why the walls were not ground to 1/2 inch as promised in the contract and why the cement was so poorly applied. He then became nasty. He pulled his men off the job and left. I called and asked him to return to repair the unsatisfactory wall and resume grinding to 1/2 inch. He said he would need more money and a new contract. I refused. Days later he returned with his men and began taking down his scafolding. I implored him to repair the wall and finish the job. He refused. I demanded a refund. He refused to issue a refund. I now have an imcomplete, exposed wall with terrible cement, roughly 40 damaged bricks, and a cement covered fence and grounds. I am also out $1400 which Mr. Masnoon refuses to refund.
