 GARY ERNEST MELCHIORRE, GARY E. MELCHIORRE, GARY MELCHIORRE

GEM STAR CONSTRUCTION SERVICES – CURRENT COMPANY NAME

STAR BRAND CONSTRUCTION SERVICES – OLD COMPANY

Professional con man Gary Ernest Melchiorre of Star Brand Construction talked a charming line and story as he discussed how he could help me and my family with remodeling and improving our home after being hit by a fire.  Unfortunately I fell for his slick talk as he conned me out of over $51,000 and walked off the job without completing the job and correcting the errors he and his crew made.

I have a handicapped brother with special needs and Star Brand Construction Gary Melchiorre left my home torn apart and my brother without a restroom to meet his needs.  Melchiorre would never put anything in writing.  I requested him to place something in writing and he never has.  His greed to get more and more insurance money became very apparent.  Star Brand Construction installed a shower that does not drain properly and the grout and tile are uneven and messy.  The poor quality work is now costing me to have it redone.  Gary Melchiorre was well aware of this and other work that he and his crew performed that was unacceptable.  

The drywall texture that Star Brand construction placed on my walls and ceilings is unacceptable and I now have to pay for the job to be done correctly.  The tile flooring did not have adequate thin-set and is uneven.  The painting has streaks and runs.  They moved items in my house and broke many things.  Star Brand Construction caused more problems than I can begin to mention.

Gary Melchiorre had high turn over with his employees and arguments in front of me.  Gary even tried to get me to pay him in cash.  He does not like to have a paper trail or put his empty promises in writing.  He initially came off as a caring and concerned person.  Unfortunately I learned that he is a true con man.  I would not trust Star Brand Construction, Gary Melchiorre, or anyone associated with this company.  Gary Melchiorre has felony charges from October 2011 in Florida for his so called construction business and business practices.

Do yourself a favor and find a reputable company to work with.  Gary Ernest Melchiorre has set up a track record as a ripoff con man.

New World home Remodeling newworldhomeremodeling.com

POSTED: Tuesday, August 23, 2016

If Gary Melchiorre is such a reputable business person why has he once again changed is company name to New World home Remodeling again and again he has to change is company name to try and hide from his past.  A reuptable company has a long held company name and a good reputation.  Gary does not have 5 acres of my property as he has stated.  He tried to con me out of 5 acres of property but he did not.  But he did rip me off for over $51,000.  My first mistake was trusting him and letting him put off giving me a written contract.  I hope this will prevent others from being taken advantge of.  He is one of these horrible people that takes advantage of others to benefit his personal needs and wants.

My suggestion is find a reputable company with a license and bonding and most of all a contract.

Amy was a customer that Gary took advantage of on a contract he was supposed to honor. He is the smooth talking con man Amy says he is. All his criminal offenses in Florida ended in a conviction. Please be warned with dealing with Star brand or his other name Gem star construction Services cause you will be victimized.... 

 

Take it from a former employee....
