PR Remodeling LLC

We signed a contract with PR Remodeling, LLC  Fairfield, NJ 07004 (973) 814-7025;  Rafael Peralta  (cell# - 973-964-5159) and Phil Puccio (cell# 551-265-8135) to repair and remodel our kitchen, bathrooms, hallways, master bedroom, dining room and attic area.  This included plumbing, electrical, tiling, sanding, painting, floor refinishing, etc.  We were told that we could pick out what we wanted such as our bathroom and kitchen cabinets, counter tops, toilets, tub, faucets, sinks, tile, doors, exhaust fans, vanities, molding, back splash tiles, etc.  Rafael and Phil of  PR Remodeling, LLC told us we had an allowance of $7,900 for these items, but we noticed that they were not buying any of these, so to keep the work progressing, we paid  for most of all the items allowed in our contract allowance.  We did this because we were told by Rafael and Phil that anything we paid for would be deducted from our balance before any final payments.  We were required to pay a deposit at the start of the contract and then make incremental payments at the start of each task on the project list.    We paid for the required work permits on 3/7/11 for construction, building, electrical, and plumbing work.  They advised us to get a storage pod for our furniture and other belongings, and we are still paying a monthly fee for that pod because although work was started on our remodeling project in March 2011, all the work has never been completed by Rafael Peralta and Phil Puccio’s company - PR Remodeling, LLC.    Over many days, weeks, we made phone calls, and left messages for Rafael Peralta and Phil Puccio.  We tried Rafael, then Phil, finally Phil responded that he was no longer working with Rafael and PR Remodeling LLC.   After their unsuccessful attempts to reach Rafael, merchants contacted us about our kitchen cabinets and counter tops, which had been ordered, and were ready for pickup, but had not been paid for or picked up by Rafael or Phil.  Rafael had written the contract to require larger payments to PR Remodeling  at beginning of a  task, not at the completion of a task.  Phil Puccio had always collected the checks from us, but after Phil signed for a very large payment, which he said included money for the kitchen cabinets and granite, we did not hear from him until he told us he was no longer a partner with Rafael.    By the time we realized that they were not going to complete our remodeling, we had paid out over $35,000 with various remodeling tasks in progress, but not completed.  Now, that  we have already paid Rafael and Phil, the majority of the money that they asked for in our contract, we cannot afford to get all the work completed as we had hoped.   We had to pay other contractors to complete some of the unfinished tasks that we cannot complete ourselves and the rest we will have to complete on our own, as best we can.  We would never recommend Rafael Peralta, Phil Puccio  with or without their company PR Remodeling LLC, located in Fairfield NJ, for any jobs.

IT WAS A NIGHTMARE!  We were conned out of $2,300!  I WOULD NEVER TRUST THIS PERSON AGAIN!

When they first started they said it would be 2 weeks to finish.  Their were multiple times that they said they were going to show up and they never showed.  One of the days was on Easter Sunday, which again no one showed up.  People would come which didn't know what they were doing.  The work that the first set of plumber did was terrible.  When another set of plumbers came, they even said that the work was bad.  The tile looks terrible.  We had little glass tiles that were suppose to look like a marble bathmat but they installed it wrong and it looks like a snake.  On June 6, 2011 there are numerous things still wrong which are as follows: back band near light switch has too big of a space, spackling work around tub is terrible, a corner whole by the tub does not meet correctly, on the window the step edge is good on three sides but missing on the left, there is a lose back band to the lower right of the window that can be moved back and forth, bad chalking on the back of the sink and underside, lousy grout work and big gaps between tiles, the door of the bathroom hits the toilet because they put the toilet in the wrong place and he told us to get a new toilet seat that was smaller, and the window itself is not what we ordered.
