I hired Waldy Corniel off of Thumbtack because he had positive reviews. I wasnt going to leave a review for him because my experience was so terrible, that I have no choice but to sue him over it and I figured its best to just let the courts and the Division of Consumer Affairs handle this matter. However, after the last few episodes of interacting with him and having his girlfriend, Cynthia, not only slash our coming soon poster at the construction site, harass my sister, but then send her a computer virus via email- I wanted to warn anyone else that may consider hiring him based on these great reviews. Waldy was hired as a general contractor for a commercial project in Hoboken. He purposely caused delays, lied, and deceived me throughout the entire project. He also hired an unlicensed electrician which resulted in a legal STOP WORK order from the City of Hoboken. He then missed the delivery date for the project and blamed everyone from PSEG, to the Hoboken Building Department, to even me for the delays, refusing to accept any responsibility for what was his obvious lack of experience. To end it all, he said he spent all the money he was given, including a check that paid for work in full (which he never completed) and he said he could not account for the money whatsoever. He said he needed more money to finish the project and would not return to the job site. He eventually walked off the job site completely so I had to find a replacement contractor, but when he walked off the job and didnt complete work I paid him for in full- he also left it in terrible condition. On top of all this, his girlfriend began harassing my family and threatening us. My last phone conversation with him was earlier this evening. During the conversation he was rude, disrespectful, and eventually hung up on me like a grade schooler when I asked him why his girlfriend sent a computer virus to my sisters computer. This is a man who has absolutely no moral compass who took the money I gave him and left the job. He also went online to write lies about my family and I, which violated a privacy clause he had signed agreeing not to directly or indirectly discuss the project in anyway. I am going to write more about my experience with Waldy and his girlfriend Cynthia on my blog, but in the meantime, I felt it my duty to share my experience because I could not in good faith keep my mouth shut knowing what kind of nightmare my family and I lived through because of this contractor.
