Macaroco Construction

The client feedback on Vaz Construction is mixed. Many customers praise the company for professionalism, clear communication, quality workmanship, timely completion, thorough protection and cleanup, and the ability to coordinate complex projects (including coordinating subs, inspections, and insurance-related needs). Projects mentioned include door replacement, siding, windows, roofing, porches on historical homes, skylights, bulkheads, baths, and kitchen remodels. Several reviewers who returned for additional work or recommended the company noted smooth processes, accurate timelines and costs, and courteous, competent crews.
However, there are notable negative reports focusing on communication gaps, inconsistent project management, and warranty follow-up. Specific concerns include receiving insufficient or delayed responses after projects, disputes over scope and pricing, and perceived prioritization of profit over quality. Individual cases cited problems such as: cabinetry refinishing without proper prep, broken or misrepresented guarantees, roofing work lacking flashing with subsequent rot, and a kitchen remodel experience described as overpriced and poorly managed. Some reviews warned against using Vaz for small jobs or suggested getting everything in writing and clearly defining subcontractors, costs, and responsibilities.
Practical takeaways for potential customers:
- Expect variability in experiences; some projects are highly praised for professionalism and efficiency, while others report communication and follow-up issues.
- Insist on a detailed written scope, itemized cost breakdowns, and a clear timeline before work begins.
- Confirm who will manage the project day-to-day and request a single point of contact.
- Verify warranty terms and who handles subcontractor work; ask for sub-contractor identities in writing.
- For sensitive or finishes work (e.g., cabinetry, kitchens) require explicit prep steps (such as sanding) and clear quality standards.
- Confirm permits, inspections, and debris cleanup are included; discuss post-work service and issue resolution timelines.
- If the project is large or involves multiple trades, consider asking for a documented communication plan to minimize gaps.
