This experience has been a disaster for us. This job was started on 3/22/06 and estimated to take 3 weeks. We have lost at least $10,000, and are currently pursuing a claim with the Registrar of Contractors. In the meantime, Mr. LaMagna has canceled his license and obtained a new one. No longer responds to our phone calls.
Description of Work: T & S was contracted for $26,000 to build a Ramada, waterfall, and install irrigation, plants, granite, and lighting in our new backyard. They never acquired a building permit for the Ramada, which it turns out is not within the scope of their landscaping license. After the Town of Buckeye issued a stop work order, T & S abandoned the job. The work that was done on the columns is not up to code and must be repaired. Most of the plants were put in, but there are problems with leaky irrigation and some of the line remains to be put in. No granite was ever brought in. Some rock work was done on the waterfall, but the basin needs repairs. The lighting was brought in, but the wires are still laying on top of the ground.
