The building inspector in our town is very demanding and she thought his work was excellent.
The original deck that was approximately the same size had 8 footings with Johns construction he used 18 so the feeling is very solid. The decorative railings make the deck beautiful and unique.
We are very happy with the deck and would recommend John without hesitation.
"Hi [Member Name] , Sorry you didn't receive the quote for leaders and gutters It was emailed . Feel free to contact me if you still require it"
"Unfortunately not every one understands what is on the contract is what we do and what is not on the contract we do not . Every one who works for me has a minimum of 10 years with me and a maximum of 20."
I also wanted a different type of crown molding, and he said he would work with me. The wood they put up for the crown molding wasn't to my liking -- they told me that there was no changing and this was what they do. They laid uneven sheetrock and some of the wall is uneven. The wood ceiling came apart and was put up in some places incorrectly. After the job was done, some of the ceiling buckled. Our exterior wood door swelled and we couldn't open or close it. My husband left John a message about those issues, but John never returned our call. My husband had to spend a long time fixing that. We also took down the crown molding and put up what we wanted after the job was done. Of the two new windows that are side by side, one is higher than the other - they don't match up. Some of the windowsills were uneven where they meet up, which we had to fix ourselves as well.
We didn't know the paperwork with the township wasn't finished until we called the township about some of our recently-installed fireplace issues. John Vitale's work was still open to final inspection. We were surprised to find out that my husband's name was on the forms as the person who did the electrical work when it was the worker who actually did the work. John Vitale had to hire an electrician to come and inspect the work that had been done in order for the paperwork to be closed, which he did not bill us for. If you're particular about your woodwork, I wouldn't recommend him. His worker was very nice and I'd say that our fireplace turned out very nicely.
"In an effort to have total transparency ,I sent a list of all my customers to Angie's List .I made every effort to avoid the differences that lead to the change in contractor between client and myself. All work that was paid was complete . All work was inspected and approved by the municipality . A alternative contractor was offered by me to complete the project for the contracted price and that offered was declined .Although every effort for the past 30 tears has been made to accomplish 100 % satisfaction from every customer some times my best is not good enough ."
