DO NOT HIRE THESE SCAMMERS. THEY WILL NOT HOOK UP YOUR PLUMBING CORRECTLY AND YOU WILL NOT FIND OUT ABOUT IT UNTIL MAJOR DAMAGE IS ALREADY DONE. THEY NEVER HOOKED UP THE OVERFLOWS IN 2 BATH TUBS OF MINE OR EVEN PUT A GASKET ON THEM WHEN ATTACHED TO THE TUB AND USED A RUBBER SLEEVE WITH HOSE CLAMPS INSTEAD OF NORMAL DRAINS WITH P-TRAPS IN MY UPSTAIRS AND DOWNSTAIRS BATH TUBS. AFTER THE JOB WAS DONE, THE DOWNSTAIRS TENANT COMPLAINED OF WATER COMING DOWN AND THESE SCAMMERS DID COME OUT AND SAY THAT THE OVERFLOW JUST NEEDED TIGHTENED. THIS IS WHEN THEY MUST HAVE SHOVED A WALMART PLASTIC BAG INTO THE BOTTOM OF THE OVERFLOW. AFTER MORE LEAKING, 2 SEPARATE PLUMBERS WERE CALLED AND TOOK THESE AND MANY OTHER PICS (CORNERSTONE AND EXPRESS PLUMBING). WITHOUT GASKETS, ANY WATER HITTING THE OVERFLOW BRACKET AGAINST THE TUB LEAKED DOWNSTAIRS (SHOWER WATER OR BATH WATER). THEY WENT TO HOME DEPOT TO GET MATERIALS FOR THE JOB AND HAD HOME DEPOT CALL ME FOR PAYMENT WITH MY CREDIT CARD. THEY SAID THEY LOST THE RECEIPT. HOME DEPOT GAVE ME THE RECEIPT LATER AND THESE SCAMMERS BOUGHT 4 ITEMS EACH OF ALL THE MATERIALS NEEDED AND AFTER ONLY USING 1 ITEM OF EACH FOR THE JOB, THEY TOOK ALL THE LEFTOVER ITEMS BACK TO HOME DEPOT AND RECEIVED CASH BECAUSE THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE RECEIPT. THEY ALSO BOUGHT ROOFING AND DECK NAILS (5 LBS EACH) FOR A SMALL PLUMBING JOB IN MY BATHROOM. THESE ITEMS WERE NOT NEEDED FOR MY WORK. I ALSO BOUGHT DRAIN KITS THAT THEY TOOK BACK FOR CASH BECAUSE THEY USED HOSES AND CLAMPS INSTEAD. NEXT SCAM OF THEIRS WAS TO GIVE ME A VERY LOW QUOTE TO REPLACE MY SHINGLED GARAGE ROOF WITH A METAL ROOF. I GAVE THEM 300.00 UP FRONT, THEY ORDERED THE METAL AND MATERIALS FROM J C MERRIMAN INC AND HAD ME PAY FOR 1600.00 OF MATERIAL OVER THE PHONE WITH MY CREDIT CARD BUT THE CONTRACTOR (STEVE WILLARD) INSISTED THAT THE TRANSACTION BE ON HIS ACCOUNT UNDER HIS ACCOUNT NAME (SUPPOSEDLY FOR THE DISCOUNT) . 2 DAYS LATER THEY WENT TO MERRIMAN'S AND DEMANDED CASH FOR THE MATERIALS CLAIMING THAT IT WAS ALL STOLEN. MERRIMAN'S DID NOT GIVE THEM THE CASH BECAUSE THEY DID NOT HAVE A POLICE REPORT. MERRIMAN'S CAME AND PICKED UP ALL THE MATERIALS AFTER I WENT TO THE MASSENA POLICE AND THESE SCAMMERS WERE TOLD TO GIVE ME BACK MY 300.00 OR BE ARRESTED. THEY DID. HIRE THESE SCAMMERS AT YOUR OWN RISK. THEY WILL TRY TO TALK YOU INTO DOING WORK WITHOUT A PERMIT BEING NECESSARY BECAUSE THEY CAN'T OBTAIN ONE. THEY WILL SCAM YOU AND EVEN GET HURT ON YOUR ROOF OR YOUR PROPERTY AND SUE YOUR INSURANCE COMPANY. THEY DID THAT LAST YEAR. THE CONTRACTOR WILL PROUDLY SHOW YOU PICTURES OF HIMSELF LAYING IN A HOSPITAL LAST YEAR FROM A BAD FALL. LEGAL ACTION ON THEM IS UNDERWAY.
