John Dalessio Fine Carpentry

Very poor job and incredibly unprofessional. We hired John off of a recommendation from our plumber. He came in an gave us an estimate on gutting our shower. He said he was doing another job and would fit us in during his lag time. He said it would take about 3 days to gut the shower and then 3 more to finish. He began August 10th and gutted the entire shower in 3 days. He then debated how to finish the edges outside. He recommended doing a wooden fram around the shower which was a bad idea. He then left and Irene hit. He postponed the end by a month after promising to be done by August 30. He said closer to September 30. He hired a subcontractor to wire a light in the shower. It was done rough shod and out of code. Very poor and incredibly sloppy. He then came back and agreed to work the frame around the shower in tile. He began demolishing the tiles around the shower and cracked tiles further along the wall. The tiles were from the 30's. He ruined the wall and then said he could not fix it. He then abandoned the project and left us with a gutted shower and cracked wall. We had to then gut the entire bath, hire other contractors to finsih the bath and what was originonally going to cost us around $6,000 cost us almost $20,000 for a total bathroom remodel. I have never written a poor review for anyone. This is necessary since he abanndodned us after charging us $3700 and ruining the 1930's tiles we wanted to keep. We would never recommend him and would recommend he notbe used or you get a performance bond prior.
