R ZONA CONSTRUCTION CO.

The contract I signed with R.Zona was not honored by him. He did not pay plumber, electrician, town permits, falsely stated he was licensed & issured I signed a contract on Oct 26, 2013 for renovations on the interior of my house and a 7x24 addition to extend an existing bedroom. I fired R. Zonaon Feb.2014. The project was to take two months and was no where near finished in Feb. I paid **** $58564.56, the contract was for $58680.00. The plumber put a lien on my house because Zona did not pay him, the electrician asked me to pay him because Zona didn't. He never got a building permit, variance or special permit which was needed for the project. The contract stated that Zona would be responsible for all permits. I never received materials that I paid for , hardwood flooring, trim boards, doors, closet shelving,and a handicap toilet. The trash was not removed.The new roof he installed leaked so bad the bathroom ceiling fell in. It took three tries for it not to leak then it started leaking in a different spot. My living floor he raised and put hardwood flooring on is so unleveled that I had to remove the back legs on my couch so it would not tip forward. i had pipes freeze because they were not properly insulated. He framed the addition with 2x4s instead 2x6s. Zona showed up maybe ten hours a week and constantly gave me excuses why he couldn't come. He bought used and damaged materials which I did not agree to. The building inspector found out about the job and shut it down. Zona then went and found Dan Welton who had a license and used his license for a building permit. This was three months into the job, That building permit was never paid for. I have spent a total of $15140.94 since firing him on materials and labor to have the job finished which includes permit fees and a $2300.00 lien by Gabrielle Plumbing . Zona refuses to reimburse me for anything and can't believe I fired him. The quality of his work was terrible and he constantly lied and misrepresented his business to me. - See more at: http://www.bbb.org/central-western-massachusetts/business-reviews/contractors-general/r-zona-construction-in-worcester-ma-316953/complaints#sthash.wyMPRCaF.dpuf

He completed about half of the work then disappeared, and stole around $2,000 I had paid him up front.
