Jack Santarelli of SanDino Home Solutions has been hired by us for a home remodeling project. Want to make it short and precise. Two months later we let him go fully aware that almost 1/2 project money might never be recovered by us and more money spent on litigation.
This is why: we believe that dishonest people should be stopped so they don't hurt more clients in the future. Also considering the scope of work involved and judging from initial work done we wanted to protect our home from further damage due to unskilled labor used.
* Inaccurate contract misrepresenting scope of work and dimention of final product.* Lack of payment schedule. Payments collected via invoices for work not yet performed.*Use of low grade materials contracted at premium price.* Lack of timelines, planning or supervision on the job.*Hiring of unskilled, illigal labor as subcontractors, resulting in extensive damage to property.
Most Importantly home owners read up on your state laws!!! Most of you don't know that if a contractor doesn't pay his subcontractors, which Mr. Santarelli is known for, you are legally bound to do so! If a contractor hires illigal immigrants, which is a case here, you also as home owner, even if not aware of it, can be liable under federal law!
We failed to do our due deligence. We worked with many wonderfull contractors prior. I guess we got comfortable. Regardless, let our mistake be your guide. Don't hire SanDino Home Solutions.
