John J. Sala Construction Corp. was hired to reconstruct and upgrade the home of a 90 year old widow. This project touched major parts of the house, including all interior walls, hardwood floor, siding, deck and roof. Every single part of this project was left incomplete or damaged when John and his son Jay abandoned the project in April 2019. We had several contracts with them, for example for a new air conditioning system, replacing the basement floor, etc. When the work was nearing completion, John came and demanded more money, and we set up a payment schedule for the remainder of our contract and paid him for some additional work, removing the hot water heating system covers in all the rooms, so they could be replaced. Following a partial payment for this action, the company damaged the heating system and abandoned the project. Below are some of the most specific issues. John J. Sala Construction Corp. did not maintain the correct permits. He did not obtain or use any architectural documents, even though he reassured us he was going do do both. The siding was put on incorrectly, at the wrong angle and without room for expansion so that when summer came, it all warped off the house. All the windows were replaced. Several windows were installed without screens. one window frame was damaged during the installation process and all windows were not installed correctly in relation to the siding. The decks on the house were installed against code, including incorrectly attached guard rails, incorrect stairs, and not attached to the house using the correct anchors. Speaking of code, the AC, and electric work they were responsible for were never permitted and a stop work order was issued. John J. Sala Construction Corp. talked us into installing an inferior laminate floor throughout the basement instead of patching the existing, higher quality floor. This floor was installed up to, but not under appliances, and in one room was installed so poorly that it cracked the marble transition to an existing bathroom and left no expansion space, so the floor warped. John Sala was supposed to replace, repair and paint all the walls of the upstairs. This was not done. The walls were patched and painted poorly, and when this was pointed out, he demanded more money to paint them to actually fully cover the wall, instead of actually replacing the wall board as specified. The upstairs hardwood floors were to be replaced, sanded and finished. this was not done. As a part of ''removing'' the heat radiator covers, John J. Sala Construction Corp. went through each room and severely damaged the walls, the heating elements, and the heating system itself, forcing us to turn off the water to the house and heating system, to the point where the heating system water was pouring out through the wall and out of the house. John and Jay assessed the situation and refused to repair this damage. A member of the construction crew broke into the house through the locked garage, destroying the garage door automatic opener and bending the garage door hinges. This appears to have happened repeatedly, even though John J. Sala Construction Corp. had a valid key to the back door of the house until the locks were rekeyed in January 2020. This company is unreliable in actions, stated activity, and ability to complete work in a professional manner. My family does not recommend.
