I have held off on writing this review until now in an effort to see if Edmour Giguere from Remodeling Network LLC would participate in the mandatory mediation through the American Arbitration Association between myself and the extremely inept contractor he connected me with. This mediation process is stated in the contract Edmour Giguere drafted for me and the useless contractor he provided to sign. Since filing my case with the American Arbitration Association, Edmour Giguere has denied participating in mediation through his legal representation. His claim is that he acted only as a salesman in this process between myself and the idiot contractor he provided. First and foremost, before I go any further with this review, when I first reached out to Ed to complain about the imbecile contractor he provided I was told by him “I no longer work with John Olmo from Chris J Construction”. From reading other negative reviews of Remodeling Network this seems to be a reoccurring event/statement from more of his clients that have been scammed. I must also say that Ed did offer to help pair me with another contractor after the issues with the original moron contractor. Now I ask you reading this review… Who in their right mind would trust working with another contractor from Ed at that point?? My attorney also told me that if I wanted to have a chance at recovering any funds, I needed to cut off anyone who was originally part of the first contract. I’m going to leave this review on Ed and Remodeling Network LLC only. If I reviewed the terrible contractor he provided also, I would be here writing until next week. Below is in a nutshell of what to expect from Remodeling Network LLC and Edmour Giguere…. - Ed meets with you and sells you a great story about how he will be with you from the beginning of your project until the end of your project. Describes his accolades and experience in the general contracting business. - Once you are ready to move forward he introduces you to a different shmuck general contractor who knows nothing. (I later find out mine was only licensed since 2020 and has liability insurance that covers almost nothing) - I ask for references and photos of work this general contractor has done that he is pairing me with. Ed responds with “it is on our website” (I later find out the contractor he set me up with never did a project of this magnitude in his life. I was his first and only project. Which was a $225,000.00 project) - I sign the contract that was drafted up by Ed for me and his shotty contractor. In the contract it states I need to provide a significant cash or check down payment, which is fine and I oblige. Through some research and things his contractor told me, I find out that significant cash or check down payment was to pay Ed his commission on the deal. - Once I signed that contract, I never heard from Ed again until I called him to complain about the moron contractor he provided. This was when he told me he no longer work with the general contractor he provided. - Ed then will claim he is only a salesman behind closed doors but post videos and pictures on social media of the project like he is hands on managing it himself. - Again I would review the contractor he provided but I would be here all week. Just know it has been A COMPLETE NIGHTMARE! In conclusion, I write this to try and save someone the worst experience of their life. If you have questions or concerns and want to reach out to me directly feel free. Unfortunately, I can not post my contact information as it won’t pass through the filters of these review websites. If I could, I would have no problem providing it.

This business is an absolute scam!!! Ed came to our house in 2021 to discuss a total home renovation. We liked him, he seemed to know his stuff. He then chose a contractor for our job (Alex Duque from ADS Renovation Group) and told us we need to put our $32,000 deposit down ASAP. We did. Ed made a lovely 10% off that $32k and never looked back. My family got all our drawings, approvals, variances etc to move forward with our project, even moved everything out of our house to get started only to find out that Alex (who ED chose to do our renovation) isn't even a licensed contractor and has been accused of insurance fraud on multiple occasions! Ed will claim he no longer does business with him anymore but how many families have to loose thousands of dollars and their homes to these evil people! Wheres our money ED!?!?!?!?

BEWARE! Hired Edmour Armond Giguere in winter of 2020. Ed came to our house, and met with our family. Said all the right things, was very charming, and he seemed knowledgeable. He signed us up with Alex Duque (ADS Renovation Group), formerly known as Petra Management Companies. 2yrs passed and absolutely no work was done to our house. At the time Ed said he was the "project manager", and would oversee the whole operation. This is false, as he was not involved at all after the contract was signed, and didn't oversee a damn thing. He simply took his commission check and went MIA. He also KNOWINGLY hooked us up with Alex, who is in fact, NOT a licensed contractor. Alex and Ed have been a team for many years now, cheating clients, and stealing their hard earned money. They talk a good talk, collect money upfront, then disappear. Ed has been doing this for years. Quick money, easy cash. We have spoken to associates who have formerly worked with Ed and they told us after the contract has signed he says " Can you smell the money!" What a disgrace. Please do your research as there are multiple lawsuits out against him, Alex Duque, Remodeling Network, and ADS Renovation. Please pay the $15 and do a thorough background check. Prior to Remodeling Network, he was Universal Sales Consultants, and EAG Consulting Services. Here are some links for your reference: https://forum.legaljunkies.com/forum/other-legal-issues/money-frauds-and-scams/32013-eag-consulting-services-blakeslee-pa Check out the Facebook negative reviews of Remodeling Network. Check out the Facebook reviews of ADS Renovation. He has been sued multiple times, and has a friend who is his bankruptcy lawyer trying to keep him afloat. Do not trust this man. He will scam you and take all your money. My family has been in contact with 10 families who he has done this to. He has been reported to Consumer Affairs, The Attorney General, and the police. We contacted Ed, after our contractor lied to us and gave us excuses. He said he is no longer associated with him (Alex Duque of ADS renovations) and said "if we don't sue him, he will help up find the right contractor to finish our job" Well, we aren't about to pay even more $ to finish, and CORRECT the horrible job that Alex did. Ed is 100% liable for all of this, as he vouched for and signed us up with Alex. He knew all along Alex was not qualified, and has had numerous complaints against him way before he signed us up with him. He did not care. He still did this to collect his commission check upfront. Because of Ed, my family is out of more than $50K. Our house failed inspection with flying colors. Our roof is in danger of collapsing because of Alex and his unlicensed workers/company. Our house is in absolute shambles because of ED & ALEX. We have been putting together all the information, along with the other families that this happened to, and will be going to the media, and all major news outlets. Get your popcorn ready. STAY AWAY!
