Do Not Hire! If I could give them zero stars I would. I have never given any business a negative review, but feel I must warn other homeowners. Chad Labello gave us an estimate on fixing a slate roof and signed, an overpriced contract, with my husband. Prior to signing the contract Chad mentioned that he was a Marine--one of the reason's my husband, a disabled Vietnam Veteran, hired him. After signing the contract we walked around the house and Chad said for an extra 180 dollars he would paint the rusty flashing on the roof, and would paint the peak of our house for free. I can't comment on his craftsmanship because the actual repairs were done by T&T Construction of Troy NY. I have to say they were wonderful. Robert and Dan from T&T were honest, hard working, very respectful young men. They had finished about 3/4 of the job when Chad called them and told them to collect the money and leave. Not only was he going to skip out on the verbal contract we made, but he wasn't even going to finish all that was listed on the written contract. There were a few conversations back and forth and he ended up telling the men to paint the flashing and peak for 750 dollars, not the original 180 he had promised. He didn't even have the decency or courage to tell us what he was going to do, he made the men from T&T tell us. My family is a military family, I have raised a son who was in the Marines and a son who was in the 82nd Airborne. Chad claims to be a Marine, but in no way exemplifies the true characteristics of a Marine. Honor, courage and commitment mean nothing to him. His word is not to be trusted and I'd be very leery of even his written contract.
