BOB LATINI HOME IMPROVEMENTS

This remodeling job went very well, and we are thrilled with the results.

To remodel our bathroom, Bob Latini gave an estimate different from other contractors.  Rather than cover the total job, with a range of several thousand plus or minus, his estimate was one low number which covered demolition, disposal, labor to tile the floor and shower, supply and install the toilet and all plumbing fixtures, fan, and shower door.  We bought the vanity, tile and grout, and minor hardware.  The bathroom turned out great, and cost $5000 to $9000 less than three other estimates.

Bob's crew was punctual, clean, and fast.   They were very experienced, and did a very nice job.  Bob responded quickly to all questions and phone calls.

I would definitely use them again.

I was very happy with Bob and the work he did. He is extremely reliable and was alway responsive to any complaints. He ensured we were happy with the work and did some final touch ups to address some small issues. I would definitely use him again.

Did everything perfectly. How often can that be said?



Even swept the kitchen floor and dusted the kitchen table off before leaving.



If that doesn't say it all, I don't know what other endorsement I could provide.

Mr. Latini provided a clear quote and he was easy to deal with. He always returned my calls while in the process of getting the building permits. The permits took longer than anticipated but once the work started, it went fast. The crew was very professional as well as Mr. Latini. He had to work around snow storms. One day they showed up just to cover the new roofs with tarp before a heavy snowstorm to protect their work. Mr. Latini was always clear on when he was coming and always showed up when he said he was going to show up. This was my first building project and I was apprehensive because of the stories going around about contractors. But working with Mr. Latini was nothing but a good experience.

I had a tight timeline requirement due to my schedule. Bob was able to start a week earlier than anticipated and finished on schedule. The team showed up on time every day. Everyone was pleasant and friendly.
Day 1 (Monday) they basically gutted the kitchen, roughed in the electrical boxes and put up new drywall. I was pleasantly surprised with how quickly things were getting done and they did a nice job. Day 2 (Tues.) they put together and installed the bulk of the cabinets. Day 3 (Wed) - more cabinet work, the stove hood, and they installed my hardwood floor. Day 4 (Thurs) was counter tops, cabinet doors, plumbing and appliances. Day 5 (Fri) was lighting fixtures and touch up work and they were basically done!
Due to a delay with my backsplash tile order they had to come back. They came back the following week - In a 1/2 day they installed the tile, then a couple of hours the next day they applied the grout.
Bob listened to any/all concerns I had and was willing to address each one.
When the cabinets were put in place it became obvious that initial calculations for the pendant lights were slightly off. Even though the ceiling was already up he was willing to move the electrical boxes and re-skim coat things
After they left on Friday I noticed a few minor punch list items I wanted addressed. I called Saturday and they were back first thing Monday morning and took care of everything in about 1/2 hour.
I'm very happy with the way it turned out.
I would definitely recommend this company for anyone planning to renovate their home.

See above comments.

Bob and his crew of at least 5 guys came and tore down the portico on front of house. Took away everything and cleaned up
nicely.

the next step was for his sub-contractor mason, and quot;Pauland quot; to come to take up the old walk way and pad and put in a new one.
AWFUL EXPERIENCE WITH THIS PERSON. He first comes to survey the job. Which he doesn't call ahead of time
and just walks around the property. Doesn't let you know he's there.

His personality and attitude were very unprofessional - everything was a problem for him and all he did was complain.
His only truck broke down the first day, next day his wheel barrel broke, asked us if we had one.

When he started to jack hammer the old walkway, he didn't cover our glass storm doors and chunks of concreate
were hitting the glass door. He didn't clean up, worked like 3 hrs every morning and the would leave. This is why
this part of the job took so long.

i had wanted tiles with address placed into the concrete, he looked at how many there were and complained it was
alot..I wasn't asking him to do a mosaic....I showed him approx where to place them, he put them in and they are
all off center....he didn't clean them off with a wet rag afterwards, so any cement harden over the tiles. I had to go
out with a small scrapper and work on them. They looked better AFTER I DID THE WORK.

When the concrete was ready for the portico to go up. Bob's crew came back and did a wonderful job. They also
installed all new shutters on the front of the house. Great job.

i told Bob about this sub-contractor, mason, Paul and the awful work and how dissapointed we were in him.
Bob took alot of the broken concrete away that Paul left behind and he told Paul to go back and collect the rest.

Bottom line - Bob Latini great to work with - if you need a mason, ask first if it's Paul he still uses..then look for
your own mason elsewhere. Don't let this and quot;Pauland quot; come near your house.

There were a few little things wrong and he was just a little careless. He told us it would take 3 days but it took 3 weeks. He had no regard for anyone else. He put a hole in one of our drawers to put a wire through it so things would fall through. He just made little things difficult for us.

They did a nice job; he also did a roof for us. He knows what he is doing. He is a sub-contractor. They did little damage to the screens and stuff like that when they were doing the roof. It wasn't major but just annoying. They did a good job on the roof. Bob is a little pricier compared to his competition. I would include him in the bidders list next time.

It went GREAT! Bob did a nice job. He finished our basement in 2 weeks and helped my hubby put in speakers. He got all the permits and added a circut box and had extra vents for the heat/air cond. He made 3 rooms all together for us. He was more than accomidating on what my hubby wanted. He put in plenty of outlets and if I wasn't happy with something, he would change it to my liking. He came back, after the work was done to allign the door correctly. His crew were all very nice and they all spoke english. He doesn't lay carpet or paint. A month after the work was done he sent me a really nice gift basket thanking me for the business. What contractor does that?! He's is just an all around nice guy. I would use him again in a heart beat.

I was satisfied.

VERY EFFICIENT AND ORGANIZED. WORKMANSHIP WAS GOOD AND NEAT. ON-TIME AND CLEANED-UP AFTER THEMSELVES. ONE OF THEIR BEST QUALITIES WAS THEY CAME BACK TO REDO ONE AREA THAT WAS NOT RIGHT. THEY DID IT WITHOUT HESITATION AND KINDNESS.
