    I discovered The Rain King by doing a ****** search. Frank, the owner, came by and did a site survey letting us know what he would do and gave us a rough estimate for the cost of around $6,000. He and his employee began work on Monday April 18. By the end of the first day my wife and I were concerned. They required power and ran an extension cord through a ground-level window into the house. The screen to that window was left open and the extension cord was left plugged in with the receptacle laying outside on the ground. We received rain that night and were happy we caught this issue prior to the rain beginning. On April 19 Frank instructed his crew to take all concrete which needed to be removed as part of the job and place it in a dumpster we rented for another project rather than incurring the cost on his own. We told him this was not acceptable, and the concrete was removed. On April 20 we were told an outdoor sump pump needed to be installed to which we agreed. We suggested multiple options on where to route the water from the sump pump but none of these were followed. The evacuation pipe is above ground and now crosses a walkway which is against code. He also left the sump pump power cord exposed, attached to an extension cord, and did not even wrap the connection with electrical tape. When we offered to pay him for his services and asked to pay by Credit Card he stated he does not take them. When we pointed out that his website says he does he replied "the website says that, but I don't take them". The new concrete is not level where the steps were replaced and in another spot a joint was not sealed which should have been. Since we told him we were having our driveway paved next year he said it will get fixed then. Whenasked him to fix he said "with what?" which is his standard response. He also broke two pavers on our walkway. Frank has a terrible and condescending attitude which led to an argument and me telling him to leave my property. DO NOT USE!!

    hired Mr. Robilotto to install sump pump in 2020....presented himself very well, job was completed on 2/27/20 Paid in Full. So far all is working well, so much so I trusted him to do renovation work that he said his Company also handles.........soooo work began in May 2022 and supposedly work was completed May 23, 2022 Paid in Full. ($13,900. + an extra $100.00 = $14,000 in . Much to my horror Frank did not fulfill his promise to address any problems after the job was completed. I phoned him after the steps painted were dry the day after and saw the problems. Upon hearing my concerns he told me to make a list and I was led to believe "he" was coming to address and see the issues. Instead he sent a worker who accomplished nothing since he is not responsible. Contacted Frank again and his true personality came out, rude using totally disgusting language. Just 1 example is brown metal frame windows were sloppily painted white for NO REASON. My list is lengthy and shows complete lack of professionalism....even to the point of leaving debris and damage to my own personal property which they did not secure. In short it was a sloppy job with so many problems and unfinished painting of the cement floor which was paid for. .I seek a refund of at least $5,000.00 to correct and complete what he left undone and botched.
