Branko S. Mukolari

Description of Work: Branco came at the recommendation of a realtor. Branco handed me his card, which did not include a license number (but he said he was licensed for sales) and he it had a lovely photo of a renovated room on it. I asked if he had done that room, and he said he had (another lie--it was a scene bought from Vista Print). I showed him the work, including covering the basement floor with vinyl tile because there was lead paint on the floor I wanted to cover. He flashed me a card (at a distance) , saying it was his certification as a lead remover. (He is not on the list in this state; I don't know about other states.) He was very sweet and smooth, and he told me he could do the work. I showed him the bamboo (click-in) that was to be installed and other supplies. He came back another day with a licensed home provider, who said Branco worked for him, and he could do the job fo5 $4500. I said I simply could not afford that, because I had been paying for lots of renovations, including a new kitchen, much of a new bah being installed and bamboo flooring. Branco then met with me another date and gave me a price of $2500, which was much better than the price when working for the company. Unfortunately, I signed before I realized the brief bill said "supply by owner" for materials, so they were EXTRA. Branco claimed he had eleven (11) men working for him but I only saw one very well tatooed guy with a chain from his waist (and I mentioned this appearance to the worker). Branco claimed he had a carpet installer and also a licensed electrician and a licensed plumber. I never met them and don't know about their true credentials, if any. Branco billed me $1166.55 for supplies, and $700 more for labor. He also texted me that he wanted another $400 for carpet, but I did not pay this.
