Rhode Runner Homes

Rob did an exceptional job with our 23 year old deck which had extensive damage. He had to replace all the joists, staircase and several railings. His attention to detail and meticulous work was outstanding. This is our second project with him and will definitely be calling him in the future.

Unfortunately, I had a bad enough experience with this company I had a legal consultation to determine what recourse I have. And I may proceed with civil litigation or a small claim. Rob Fleury is prone to anger, as another reviewer noted. He does not follow his own contract. And how he operates in some regards is at best, shady and questionable. I never had a chance to approve of a change order, which added considerable money to the original work order. The unexpected cost caused me to have to go into debt to cover the cost I didn't approve of before the work was done. When I tried to discuss the matter with Rob, he ignored his own contract and made threats to put a lien on my unit so I could not sell it. He would not speak rationally or professionally and was impossible to deal with. When the work was nearing completion, he asked for an advance on the final, complete payment. He said it was for payroll and materials and implied an issue with proceeding without this payment. I questioned this and my realtor questioned this, and he admitted it was to pay for material for another job. He grew angry when I questioned why he told me it was for material and payroll for my job, when it was not. The work when completed had many defects. My realtor sent photos to Rob, again seeming to spark anger. He made excuses and claimed things that were in the work order, were not covered by the work order. But he did go out the next day, ignoring that the realtor was supposed to MEET him there. He fixed the issues, to his credit. In short, be aware, he does not follow his own contract, he makes false statements, he has a bad temper, he makes threats and if there is a dispute, will not follow his contract to have a rational conversation and resolve them professionally. If you hire him, be aware the danger of him charging you things you did not approve, then putting a lien on your property, to cause you financial harm. It is a sad reality, that on one hand, he seems trustworthy and competent, but with his temper, lack of adhering to his own contract, and some shady practices, you run a real serious risk of having him sabotage your property with a lien, if he is not allowed to charge you, without approval, for work. If you do not have a lot of money, you may not be able to afford arbitrary charges or an attorney to deal with him. I had to use my credit card to pay costs, that I had not budgeted or approved of. He treats you like his personal bank, and if you don't have the funds for unexpected costs you don't get a chance to approve of or say no to, dealing with him could cost you dearly. Not someone for anyone with a budget to risk dealing with. If you DO deal with him, be aware, you need to have an attorney to advise you, at every stage where there is any question, before agreeing to anything or submitting a payment. That alone, should tell you it's not a good idea to deal with him. Unfortunately I did not consult an attorney during all the issues, and learned after how I should have responded to his, unique shady way of doing business. You should not need an attorney to get work done when there is a contract...
