  I had some cracks in the stucco on the exterior of my home so I called Armadillo masonry to come over and give me a quote on getting them repaired. Joe Moran showed up, took a look, and quoted me $1,000 for the repairs....I agreed.... him and his grandsons showed up the next morning.....Prompt, nice family business, what could possibly go wrong? Well let me tell you.... They finished all of the work in one day. Everything looked fine...as I was looking at it at dusk. I paid Joe in full (cash, BIG mistake). The next morning I woke to find that all of the patches that had been repaired had all been painted a drastically different color than that of my house...so I had no more cracks but huge splotches of different colors on my house. I called Joe and he said that he would come by and fix the problem...needless to say, he never showed. A mere few weeks later, the work that he and his team had done began to all crumble off of the house. I called a few more times and emailed, pleading with him to stand by his work and fix the problems that had occurred.....he didn't respond. I am not rich, I am a 30 year old 1st time home owner that just wanted a home that I could be proud of.....Now I have a home with cracked stucco and embarrassing paint splotches all over the place...it looks worse than before I hired them.....all for the low, low price of $1,000. It has been 7 months since the work was performed.....I wanted to give Joe a fair chance to do the right thing before posting a bad review (my first bad review ever put into cyber space) and I think that I have given him plenty of time to make this right. I try to trust that people will stand behind their work, their word and do the right thing....I know....naive.
