Jesus Lara Home Renovations

These guys are a gang of criminals. They quoted us two weeks, maybe three to do a small bathroom remodel. The first two weeks they showed up four days total. Week three was spent moving the plumbing, four days of it. Week four they drywalled the bathroom, WITHOUT DOING THE PLUMBING FOR THE SHOWER. When confronted about it, Jesus claimed that they always cut holes in the new walls to do the plumbing. They used a plastic sheet water proof material, but did not install it correctly. There were air pockets and rounded corners and some areas under the sheeting had no backerboard. They were just going to tile over the open spaces on the walls with the orange plastic sheeting. The bathtub was not installed right. There was nothing under it, and it was not level. An absolute mess. Of course, they had no problem cashing our checks and lying about when the job would be done. Telling us the schedule would be Monday thru Friday 8 to 4 and then not showing up for days or saying they "were on the way" and never showing up. His crew consists of his family members and non-skilled people even though his website states they use licensed contractors. We have had another two contractors come look at the bathroom to get quotes to finish it and they have both stated the work was shoddy and found multiple mistakes. We are now having to hire a contractor to fix the work and are out the thousands that Jesus collected during the remodel. Do not give them a dime. Warning!!

Never hired. Seemed like a scammer. Had materials already on site and contractor expected to be paid in advance. Who gets paid in advance? I know I don’t.

Jesus and his company seemed trustworthy and competent IN THE BEGINNING. But near the end of the project, he wouldn't return calls or texts to finish the things he promised to take care of. The mistake I made was paying him before he came back to finish. I now have boards that aren't nailed down, wood that needs to be replaced, and pickets that are loose. I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND HIRING THIS COMPANY.
