**★ — User, Aug. 2023**

> if i can i would do - 5 star, they made lot of mistakes, the contractor come to the job just to get pay, and i end fix lot of thing, my master bethroom the tile they mess up, also the shower is liking, i need to fix, but anyway is over,

**★ — Max Dobbs, May 2023**

> Terrible experience!  I was lied to many times and Mr.  Vianna bailed on my project after I paid in full and would never answer again.  He never paid the final payments for his subs and all of the workers stopped showing up.  He was using my investment to pay workers at other sites he was running.  As a GC, he was never there and the subs were sub par and I had to do multiple parts over again.

**★ — Marco Martins, Nov. 2022**

> Run from those guys. They stole my money and disappeared. First, they lied to me, telling me everything was all right with the permits. Then, they started my renovation project and started the work without obtaining the permits, abandoning me in a situation where I needed to redo most of their work. They are a complete fraud. Never do business with this company or any other owned by Vitor Vianna.
