I'd choose a different cabinet maker if we could..

Our full kitchen renovation was supposed to be finished 9 weeks ago, but in week 14 we were still waiting on this guy to finish. Recio had every excuse under the sun and couldn't get the job completed. To begin with, he came 1 time before we started the reno and "measured" and we picked cabinets. He never came back again after the demo. He said he had everything he needed. The 1st time he delivered cabinets, he just dropped them off and the island was the wrong color and about 1 foot too long. When he came back to install them, he couldn't install them all because either he measured wrong, didn't bring the right cabinets, or something was missing. Also, I ordered a 33" farmhouse sink, he made a sink base for a 30" sink. I'm sure if he had listened in our 1st meeting or written this down, it wouldn't have happened. (I had to spend $130 to ship the sink back) Our contractor was on him nonstop to find out when he'd be back to correct his mistakes and finish, but he kept getting the run around. When Recio finally came back a 3rd time, he still had things wrong; drawers and panels not painted or missing, inner shelves still missing, areas to caulk, still was missing part of the island, and more details. After almost 2 weeks of waiting, we still had nothing done. Our contractor called and texted him, without responses. I called him myself and he promised me he would be done by the end of that week. At 4:21pm on Friday he hadn't arrived. After calling him again, we find out he's hurt himself falling off a ladder. He claimed to have given all the materials to contracted guys who mysteriously went missing and he couldn't get a hold of them. Then he told me they didn't have everything, so they'd have to come back AGAIN. After an internet search, I found his Instagram post from this same day or day after, where he claimed he was 'injured" and not able to sit up. He seemed to be okay at the party he took a photo at that night. This guy is full of lies. The work is ok, not worth the hassle or the cost!! Craftmanship is sub-par. As of today, he wants to be paid since he is "done" with the job all the while knowing there are still items missing and we still have pieces that were installed wrong.
