Vera Marble Inc

Stay away from this crook! The events detailed below go beyond unprofessionalism. He is a criminal, an extortionist, and has a severe attitude problem. He lost his temper on multiple occasions, insulted me personally, got physically aggressive, and threatened my contractor’s life.   I hired him because he came recommended by my stone supplier, but there were bad signs from the beginning. I thought it was strange when he refused to show me other jobs he was working on. I have worked with other fabricators who have good relationships with their clients and are happy to show off their work, but when I asked Avi if I could see some of his jobs, he said that it’s impossible and they don’t show their jobs because his clients wouldn’t like it.   The real problem began after I saw how my kitchen counters were installed. The quality was below standard. The cuts were in the wrong locations. The seams were very visible, larger than standard, and not even centered with the kitchen faucet. The radius of the edges was inconsistent and wavy. There was way too much caulking everywhere, around all the joints and a 1/2” of caulking between the waterfall edges and the wall. The stone was black so the white caulking was very noticeable. The only way to fix his work would be to demo all the stone, purchase new stone, and redo it. In an effort to be fair with him, I didn’t ask him to redo the countertops correctly because I know he would need to purchase new materials to fix it, which would cost over $12K. Instead, I offered to work with him to come to a reasonable amount for the balance of what was owed for the kitchen and have him discontinue working on the rest of the house. I told him I would pick up my stone in the morning from his yard and have another fabricator start, so as not to delay my job, and that we could come to an agreement for the balance owed. He said he would not give me my stone until I paid him whatever he wanted and threatened to damage my stone if I did not pay him. This stone was my property that was being held at his yard to finish the house. I had receipts to prove that I paid well over $20K for this material. He threatened to steal my stone, held my stone as ransom, and blackmailed me to pay him. This man is an extortionist and is not in his right mind.   Unfortunately, his original contract had a total amount and did not provide a breakdown, so when he broke out the cost of the kitchen, so I could pay the final balance, he gave me a ridiculous number for just the kitchen (that would’ve left hardly any money to finish the rest of the house). He also offered no credit for his poor workmanship and wanted 100% of his ridiculous cost for the kitchen. I told him that his work could not be fixed without replacing the stone, so anyone would expect a credit for his workmanship. He became aggressive and irrational; he told me that I was trying to screw him, that I was an evil person, and that God would judge me.   I was forced to pay him to get my stone back and when my contractor went to meet Avi with the check to pick up the stone, Avi started attacking my contractor. He physically pushed and spat on my contractor. He called him a piece of sh*t and threatened his life. He said that he was an Israeli soldier and would find my contractor in a dark alley and shoot him in the back. Avi is a coward and beyond unprofessional. What he did was criminal he belongs in jail. He’s lucky my contractor didn’t press charges for assault.   I also found out that even though I contracted with Avi, he subbed out my job to another contractor, who then subbed out my job to an unlicensed contractor, so it’s not hard to understand why the quality was below standard because no one was supervising the job. Avi made a huge deal about the money I supposedly owed him, when he was just profiting while doing absolutely nothing. I would give him negative stars if possible.

Great Experience and good work from this company. I hired them to replace the vanities in the bathrooms and to install new ones including the sink, faucets and counter top. The work that they did came out gorgeous and without any issues or drama. Avi came, saw the work what need to be done, give me an estimate and did the job.  
The materials were selected by me and the rest was taking care of by him.

We had the kitchen counters replaced by Avi from Vera Marble. 
The counter tops were marble and Avi was able to show us a good variety of samples to choose from and after we selected what we wanted, He then placed an order for that.
This was a 2 days job and Avi also installed a new sink for us so we are very happy with that.

Avi sent me a bid promptly and checked back several times while our condo association was getting estimates.
When I called to say we were ready to hire him, he began work the NEXT DAY!    He showed up on time,
his worker Antonio was great, professional, great attention to detail and cleaned up after themselves.  Very happy with the quality of installation!

We had a small budget to replace our counter top for a marble one. We received several estimates from companies and we decided to hire this company for that job. Avi came over after we spoke to him over the phone and he measured the counter top that we needed. He also brought some samples in which we didn't like.
The following day, we went with his to select it from one of his vendors. The counter that we selected was very nice and it took several days to cut it and make it fit to our kitchen.
Avi was able to come and install it the same week it was arrived to our house. 
The new counter top look great and it adds a lot to our kitchen.

Avi and his team of workers removed the old ceramic tiles in the master bathroom and install new stone floor. this included the replacement of the shower walls as well.
The new stone was purchased from one of his vendors and Avi made sure it will arrived to our house. The demolition of the old floor took 1 day and the installation took additional 3 days. 
The new floor is perfect and the shower looks much better than the old one.

Avi from Vera Marble was the person that we hired to replace the floor at our house. We went with a Spanish style floor. Avi took us the vendor to select the floor that we wanted.
I must say that Avi is very patient person with good amount of knowledge. He was able to help us narrow the options of floor and to guide us with the selection.
The work at the house started when the floor arrived to the house. Avi came a day before to start removing the old floor and his team of workers installed the new one. 
Very good job and excellent service. Highly recommended.

We received this company information from a show room that we visited some time ago.
We contacted Avi about that we want to install back splash in our kitchen and to have in our guest bathroom stone walls all
around.
Avi was able to provide us with several samples that could be a great fit to what we would like to have.
We selected the stone that we wanted and the back splash.
2 days after the materials arrived to our house, Avi came over with his team of employees and start the work.
The work was completed within 3 days and we loved the new look of the kitchen and the bathroom.
Our impression from Avi is that he is professional and polite person. He is very each to work with and he has lots of ideas and suggestions on how to make things better and nicer.

Avi is a great guy to deal with. he replaced all the tiles in our bathroom and installed new stone on the walls and floor.
his work made a huge change in our bathroom and it came out so beautiful.
Avi is very professional and knew exactly what to do. he took us to some show rooms in which we choose the floor that we wanted.
his 3 guys worked pretty fast... the moment the materials arrived to our house, they were there the following day starting to work and demolish the old tiles that we had.

Vera marble (Avi) came to our house to remove old floor and to install new tiles in the master bathroom.
the tiles were selected by us from the samples that Avi brought to us when we met. in the shower, he recommended us to have special stones on the walls too.
the tiles and stone on the walls came out very nice and we are happy with our decision to work with this company.

Avi did great, He came to take a look at my kitchen, we scheduled to meet at the the yard to choose the marble I want for my kitchen. After choosing the slab the I want, he came and took the tamplate. And came back in less then a week to install it. My kitchen looks great, Avi and his crew did a great job, there work is extremely beautiful and clean. I will definitely use and recommend Avi to anyone I know who need this kind of service.

Avi and his team remodeled our bathroom that included Tiles, Granite, Vanity, and paint.
The work went smoothly and without any issue. Avi, supervised the work each day and make sure that the work will be completed as planed.
The tiles that he installed were very pretty. His team did an awesome work with them.
The granite was purchased by us as a slab and Avi did all the cutting and installation. 
the end results came out very nice. we will use him in the future.

After several meetings with companies, I decided to go ahead and hire Avi from Vera Marble. His patient and knowledge was great and the service was excellent too.
The work that I wanted at my house was to remodel the whole kitchen. This included new floor, paint cabinets and granite.
The work started as a demolition which took several days and than all the paint, electrical and floor work.
The cabinets were the last items to install and after they were in place, the workers finalized the work and the kitchen was completed.
Great work and service!
