Review Your Contractor: Benitez Remodeling

Tony Benitez gave a reasonable quote, but gave a good sales pitch. I gave him the contract to build an open concept kitchen. He soon asked for unscheduled advances, and then for materials. I later found out he never purchased the materials. Tony also demoed the wall between the family room and kitchen, and placed a structurally unsafe beam. Tony provided a photo shopped copy of his license, which I later found was not through DPOR. Tony is a charmer, but I would be cautious of using him.

Tony gave a reasonable quote. He gave a good talk. He started Demo, and pressurized for more advanced than agreed. He then pressurized for payment for materials he purchased, and were to be delivered. I later found out the materials were never purchased, thus never delivered. He provided a photo shopped copy of his license which I did not verify till after he stopped working. The wall he removed, was structurally unsafe and the beam had to be replaced. Be careful of dishonest contractors
