Mario and Mario Landscaping and Masonry Services

We hired Mario & Mario Landscaping & Masonry Services, LLC last October to lay pavers on our driveway. We asked Mario if he also did slurry sealant that we needed done on our church parking lot. He assured me that he did and hired a subcontractor to do that work and that he had done his church in the past. In November he again assured us that the work on the church parking lot would be done as soon as it got warmer BUT he needed a deposit of $4,500 as a down payment. so the church wrote him a check and we waited and waited and waited. When it turned hotter and hotter I kept contacting him and 95% of the time he did NOT return my calls, emails, or texts. Now it is May and he said his subcontractor was ready to do the church parking lot . The work was finished and looked great BUT here comes the scam--he did NOT give his subcontractor any of the $4,500 from the November check and did NOT give the balance of $4,500 to the subcontractor. He kept ALL of the money and told us he was NOT getting a penny that $9,000 was going directly to the subcontractor and they did NOT get any money. He lies, cheats, steals, is NOT trustworthy and I am sick that the company doing the church parking lot has NOT received any money for the job they did and he will NOT answer his phone, respond to emails, or texts. The cost to the subcontractor was $7,500 NOT $9,000. Not only did he lie to me he told the same lies to our pastor. The subcontractor is now taking it to court to get his money.
