The recent remodel of our small bathroom (4.5’ x 7.5’) was a painful experience. We endured weeks of dirt and dust while progress was very slow. Dominick spent weeks in our house with very little progress to show for it. Repeated requests to expedite completion of the renovation were unsuccessful. Furthermore, poor workmanship was Dominick’s biggest weakness. Initially, he installed the wrong tile on our shower floor and later had difficulties executing a simple wall tile layout as we requested. Some tiles were found to be crooked while others were not even with the adjacent tiles. All had to be removed and replaced. We had to buy more tiles so he could finish the job.
While working in our house, Dominick damaged the kitchen ceiling right below the bathroom floor and the bedroom wall adjacent to the bathroom (water+ structural damage). Both had to be repaired and repainted with mixed results.
Finally, we were surprised to learn that the original price quoted was not the final price. It’s very interesting to note that each work scope paragraph in the official contract issued by Dennis Interdonato Inc. that included the sentence: “WE WILL REPLACE/REPAIR AND BILL HOMEOWNER (TIME & MATERIAL) ACCORDINGLY” received an extra charge… As the project progressed, we were handed invoices (totaling >$650) for frivolous work related issues like: “walls not straight”, damaged plywood floor must be replaced, new vanity didn’t line up with house copper plumbing, repair toilet flange, repair shower diverter, install necessary shutoffs, etc. All were part of the original remodeling job quote we received from CB Renovations LLC.
In the past, we have had the pleasure of having many talented professional contractors working in our home. There have been situations where more work was needed than originally thought necessary. We gladly paid the extra charges because we knew that they were legitimate and the jobs were always completed in a timely manner. This was not the case with CB Renovations LLC/Dennis Interdonato, Inc.
