This company does not do what they say they will do and when asked to fix the problem. I was told no. They are not doing anything and don't call back. Now I a left with the problem. Be very careful of these guys. You're really taking a chance with a high dollar puchase if you use this company.
On Dec. 8, 2017, I took a client to the granite dealer to pick out granite, upon arrival APH Stone Solutions's owner Alcides Pardo took a deposit from me in the amount of $3,800.00 for a $7,000 granite job. Then we were sent to the distributor to pick out the granite. The distributor called and veirfied deposit amount. As of January 15, 2018 Mr. Pardo, had failed to complete the job and began threatenig me that maybe he will hold the job another week. He was asked repeatedly to just do the job before the customer sues.
He continued to scream and therefore I hung up. On January 16, 2018 Mr. Pardo was issued a demand letter requesting a full refund of the deposit. On January 23, 2018, Mr. Pardo contacted me to speak of refunding the money and said he would have a check ready between 9 am and 10 am, on January 24, 2018. I showed and waited until well after 10 and he did not show up. He is avoiding my calls and according to knowledge and belief there are several other customers of his in the same boat right now. It is now January 25, 2018 and I am proceeding legally and going to request the maximum fines and penalties as well as criminally be prosecuted.
I was hired as a subcontractor by Alcides Pardo to do granite countertops in a commercial builing in St Pete. I moved from Michigan to work with Alcides. The job was immediately a disaster and soon was unable to get ahold of him. I would call and text asking to talk in person I needed answers on getting paid and what the next jobsite was. I would get auto texts for every response saying "I'm in a meeting". I was told by other contractors he was known for not paying his workers and it wasnt unusual for former employees to show up at the shop wanting to fight him. I was told by his onsite supervisor that I would get paid and if I just left as is I wouldnt get paid for anything.
I finished the units i started hoping what I heard was wrong. Last friday April 29th i was told i was going to get paid today May 6th. Last night he called me at 10 at night to tell me to come in and to bring my invoices. I went to his shop today with my invoices he was sitting there. Shuffled through his paperwork and said ok what do I owe you. An employee came in the office and asked for him to come to the back of the shop. Alcides said he would be back in 5-10 mins. 30 mins later the shop door opened and Alcides was in with 2 police officers. I was extremely confused. The officers said have you been threatening to kill anyone? I was like WHAT???? no we were just doing my invoices.
They said Alcides called and said i was threatening people. Then it hit me he wasnt going to pay me and was using the courts to attempt to not pay me. All contractors know after everything you dont make any money and it can take forever. The cops read all of my texts asking for answers when i was getting paid and said Im sorry they completely agree it wrong but unfortunately its a civil matter now. I havent got paid a dime. I moved here paid for a hotel for over 5 weeks paid my helpers/tools/material. Im out soooo much money and he just took my money without a care in the world. I dont get how anything good ever happens to people like this. Good things happen to bad people and it isnt right...
