This guy name Robert D Palomino, goes by “Dino” claimed that he “built”house and addition before, even had it advertised on his truck, license CRC1330393, but did REALLY SHODDY work, collected money and ran off the project!  Much worse he left my house water damage all over and even had a gut to “lien” my property!!! He claimed that he had license but soon will be suspended after I report to the Florida State Licensing Board!

 

First. he low bid to get in, explained the reason it was low cost because he would do the job  by himself and allow owner to buy materials so I could get direct price no up charge on material.  But the fact was he lives paycheck by pay check, has no money to buy material up front, not hiring enough crew to do the job..showing up late at work and leaving early continued taking money...claiming that job “almost done”....  

 

When I was aware of his lack of management skill,  not enough crew, job not being done on time,  I consulted other professionals/contractors, who informed me that job not only next to nothing done but also wrong shoddy work....then this guy left work site real fast, using intimidation tactic (knowing that homeowner would want to get job finish, work with him to come back to finish), also using excuse that I did not pay him enough, to demand more money in order to come back to work; Much worse, he had his worker contacted me to ask for more money...claiming that he would be someone “to handle paperwork from now on!!!”  Good thing that I was not that stupid to give money to someone that I did not have signed contract with nor having license!!

 

Palomino continued using intimidation tactic, having an attorney to write me letter originally claimed that the reason he suspended  the job because I didn't pay, but when I asked him to issue a billing invoice he could not,simply because he could not account what the invoice for. When I submitted proof of payments which I paid every single time he issued the billing invoices to both of his attorney and Consumer Protection Agency, his story then changed to the reason he abandoned the job because I was complaining too much!

 

Of course, I had noticed his lack of management skill, lack of labor work, and many other misconduct behavior, therefore I brought them up to his attention and/or record in the activity log.  I also have all the text and documents proven that I never once curse or speak inappropriate beside bring up things that need to be addressed in professionally manner.  

After he left I have interviewed 10-12 contractors, most of them were not willing to take over the project because not wanted to take over the liability.  For those who would take the bids, came back double even triple compare to the original price  due to the fact that Palomino bid was not only way low to begin with but also they have to fix the wrong code work done by this guy before they can move forward!!! 

 

Beware of this guy.  My battle is soon be rectified and  settled but I would prefer to let others know so you  can prevent this from happenning to you!
