I would NEVER recommend L***a Contracting to my worst enemy Jim L***a is arrogant, demeaning, unprofessional, slow with his work and completely unorganized Jim L***a is a Master Electrician that is attempting to be a General Contractor If you are thinking about hiring him for a job, I highly recommend you do your homework on him Don’t rely on the references he provides to you if he even provides any Shame on me for not investigating him further I started to investigate him after the project started and when I started to notice that things weren’t right I was at a party and someone who I just met asked me about my project and who was the General Contractor I said his last name and the look on his face was the look of discussed He proceeded to tell me his experience with L***a and then proceed to give me other names of people who had an experience with L***a Contracting None of the people I spoke to provided a good recommendation Shame on me I want to prevent other people from experiencing L***a Contracting Jim L***a is a smooth talker, a great salesman and will have you believing every word he speaks He will give you a price on your project that you won’t be able to resist as well He claims that he does all of the work himself and does not sub contract anything That’s how he’s able to keep his price reasonable On 10/**/I closed on a home improvement loan and I hired L***a Contracting to build a 1,sq addition The bank allowed days to complete which is months On 10/**/Jim L***a was funded over 14K from the bank for startup It took a month before breaking ground It took days to have a 32xfoundation dug Within those days a total of hours were committed to the dig and the excavator sat idle most of the time Jim L***a rented an excavator that was too small for the project and I watched him struggle with the dig Jim L***a then charged me several thousand dollars for extra excavation costs Labor for the dig and excavator rental I disputed the charges due to the lack of time committed to the dig I ultimately paid the extra costs to have the project move forward being Jim L***a threatened to stop work until the costs were paid After the foundation was dug and poured, the bank conducted a progress inspection and L***a was funded over $20k After L***a was funded the money, my project sat idle for a month and a half before framing started When questioning Jim L***a for his reason no work being done, he would talk around the question and when pressed further he would get nasty over emails and texts I kept questioning Jim L***a over that month and a half period of his reasoning for not working He would talk around the question and ensure me that he’s on my job regardless if there’s no progress on site He would advise me that he has my best interest I mind, he has my back and I need to trust him I would press further on why no work was being done, he would then get nasty over emails and texts Finally the framing started Mid January of The framing sub contractor was great and was on site everyday regardless of how cold it was When the framer was completed with the framing, my job sat idle once again At this point I decided to terminate the contract with L***a Contracting due to him violating serval general business laws, several provisions in the bank contract and most of all the gross lack of commitment to my job Five months into the project I had a total of months of the project sitting idle and no work being done Jim L***a is arrogant, demeaning, unorganized and does not listen to his customers what so ever When I agreed to have L***a Contracting build my home addition, I expected to have progress on just about a daily basis, being it was a significant size project That’s not how L***a Contracting works BUYER BEWARE I would not recommend L***a Contracting to anyone
