Signed a contract on May 1st 2008 to have our driveway redone by Mr Loliscio's company and gave him $4,000.00 as a deposit. The contract states "Install complete Brick Driveway 2,600 sq ft Cambridge Onyx natural" "Install 2 drywells" Work will begin 7-8 weeks work till completion" Joe came to us on 9/11/08 any asked for an additional $1,000.00 which we supplied. Work began on November 26 2008 and we Gave Joe $8,000.00 the workers were at the house for two days. On November 28 2008 we gave Joe another $1,600.00. Joe sent two men to do some small things for another day and then they did not return again until December 9 2008 when again we gave Joe another $2,500.00 for supplies due to his measuring the driveway INCORRECTLY and had to order 7 pallets of brick.

We did not hear from Joe again until May 2009 when after repeated calls he finnally returned our call. He assured us that he will be at our house within a couple of weeks with our brick and complete our job. When it was nearing July I called again and complained about not hearing from him or receiving the brick he told me of a car accident he was in and other excuses and said the brick will be comming. We did receive the brick in July and it was not the same brick as before therefore not matching the driveway. We did not make an issue and decided to work with the different brick.

On September 20th Joe came back to lay the second batch of brick only to discover that AGAIN he did not order enough brick and asked for $1,200.00 for four additional pallets. We paid him for the brick against our better judgement and were told {promised) that the work will be completed by October 10 2009. as of today October 9 2009 Joe has not attempted to finish or had the brick delivered. I had called him several times in the last couple of days and left messages on his voice mail and have not received any reply.I truly believe that he does not intend to finish or get us the supplies that we paid for.To date we have paid Joe $18,300.00. We still have an incomplete drive, no step to get on the front stoop, still have no drywells, sinking brick from leaving drive unfinished for so long. We have called Joe at least 30 times in the last 11 months and even gave him an out by just giving us money back and we would finish the job with someone else and each time we were told that he PROMISED to finish.

Cutrite installed a small waterfall, stream and pond in July 2008. Constant water loss resulted from improperly installed liners. Cutrite attempted to repair and failed. Cutrite stated it would replace liners. Cutrite has made and failed to keep repeated appointments to effect the repair. Cutrite also stated it would repair the cracking cement border on the paver walkway, installed in April 2008, when the pond and stream are repaired. This also has not been done. Cutrite received 1500.00 in cash for the waterfall and 4900.00 in cash for the walk.

We hired this company on March 2, 2008 to install an outdoor brick fireplace,a garden wall around the perimeter of our rear property, a bench and 2 drainage pipes. The work was promised to be done before March 17,2008. It is still not completed. My backyard looks like a construction site with tools, wheelbarrels and piles of stone and cement. All of which is dangerous for my young son and his friends. It is almost impossible to get in touch with Mr. Loliscio. When he does call he is full of excuses and more broken promises. He has,on many occassions, called to say that they are on their way over so we wait home and he doesn't show up or call for another week.

On his last visit he installed leftover stone from a past job onto my fireplace to cut corners-of course it didn't match and had to be taken down. He is completely unprofesional. He has had to use my personal tools, my husband has busted his back outside working along side his workers to help move things along. He hit pipes that broke our sprinkler system that we neede to fix ourselves. One day he even parked one big work truck in our driveway and left the premises in another, leaving my garage blocked and me stuck. It is quite unbeliveable to say the least. Dealing with this man is so frustrating that it is beyond words. I feel like I am having a nervous breakdown. We have decided to cut our losses and finish the job ourselves. The only problem is that we are afraid he will backlash and damage our property as he has threatened to do if we end our dealings with him. We have photographed the area as documentation of the entire incident.

Contracted in August 2006 to finish inground pool area. The area was to be enclosed on two sides with a 6 ft. wall finished in field stone and the other two sides with Jerith brand estate fence (with the contractor securing the permits from the town). Waterfall and pool coping in stone for pool edge would be decided; circular stairs, patio area was to be 750 sqft of tumbled stone by Cambridge color toffee/onyx.

Additional upfront monies were asked by the contractor in order to take advantage of a buy-in deal on the material that would increase the square footage for the patio to 1400 and boulders to decorate the perimeter of the 130 X 94 area. It was understood that after the pool's installation the work could begin September of 2006. This is the problem it is approaching August 2007 and nothing has really started, as of 2 weeks ago there is only about 100 ft of wall up about 3ft high. Every week has been a series of broken promises to show up to do work. Daily phone calls are returned with the assurance that his crew is coming but they never show.
