Here at Fiorilla's Carpentry LLC, i take great pride in our quality of outcome and attention to detail. We hit the nail right on the head with this one. My amazing client had been previously taken advantage of by a local company that went to great lengths to take advantage of her. I put an end to all of that by writing a report for her attorney regarding all of the work that was done that violates local building codes, breached contract terms, materials other than discribed in contract used on the job, multiple real fire hazards with shotty electrical work, as well as the job not being permitted by the municipality. At the end of the day, she was compensated for her damages, and we did justice to this basement and to the area code, respectively.
We fully gutted her basement from the work of the old company, pulled our permits, and started the renovation process. Now, she has one of the nicest basements we've done to date. High-end lighting includes led halo night lights/ high hat combos, 100% waterproof vinyl floors, a fully rebuilt staircase, and very high-end grecco-roman style columns to name a few features from this project. Best of all, not only has she built the value of her home substantially, but she has no problems with resale due to lack of permitted work.
*This is why it is so important to VET your contractors!*
Request the contractors license number and verify they are in good standing with the state, ask for a certificate of insurance, have a very detailed contract, etc. These are some ways you, as the homeowner, can protect yourself from predatory people posing as professionals.
