David Wilich / Matt Wilich : Tile contractor?

Be careful of online contractors.

Some are very good, but it's easy to be friendly and seem competent, give an estimate, ask for your cash or check for deposit/materials and never be seen again.

David / Matt (same guy) posts on Craigslist as a tile contractor, landscaper or stonelayer He likes to use the email address of:wedogoodwork@hotmail.com. He lives in NH, but works in MA, too.

Please be very careful. He's taken money from people, never to be seen or heard from again. People with complaints have found calls, emails and letters unanswered and have no way to recoup their losses or to have work re-done.


If you ask him about postings like this, he'll dismiss them. "People can post whatever they want!" : He'll crumble up your printed page (like this one) and toss it aside dramatically. You'll be tempted to believe him. (Sure they can...this posting is supported by solid documentation and first-hand information). Check with law enforcement first. You'll be surprised that you were nearly taken in.

He:
  • seems friendly, honest and capable, and is is a good salesman. You'll think he's great!
  • asks for local checks and cash (for a reason)
  • uses invalid addresses and reference names on invoices. You may be calling "Richard Evans", but you'll be talking to David/ Matt.
  • Has stolen things from jobsites and homes.

In addition to being a questionable contractor, he's been charged with:

  • being an Habitual Offender in 2 NH counties
  • Lying to law enforcement
  • Assault (NH)
  • Fugitive from justice on fraud/larceny charges (Boston, MA)
  • Issuing bad checks
  • non-payment of rent/eviction (NH)
  • If anyone has more information about the Aggravated Felonious Sexual Assualt charge (there is credible evidence that this is/was a pending ), PLEASE CONTACT ME
    at celadon2@comcast.net

He's failed to pay attorneys and others who tried to help him. He's left a trail of broken promises, broken contracts, unpaid bills, unpaid business associates, unpaid friends. "You know I'm good for it!". He has no conscience. He has no empathy for the losses of others. Every day a new excuse...(I don't know what a sociopath is, but you might look into it. It seems to explain him very well.)

    When you check him out online, you'll see he's fooled others: don't feel badly if you were duped, too.

    Protect yourself.

    This guy is dangerous.

    Justice is not so blind.

    David's hidden acts are coming to light.

    More is known than he may be aware of. I wonder how it must feel, knowing you wronged people, and soon will pay?

    under no circumstances do any business with this guy---he is a crook! ask why he has no address----check out the one he gives you---ask why he insists on the check being made out to him personally, ask him where is his place of business is and call that number------this guy will take your money and run----he gyped me out of $5,000 took the check and never came back----also goes by the name of Matt wilich---has been arrested by the boston police---and I do not know why he is out walking the streets----if you have any questions, please e-mail me---his father lives in Merrimack, NH and he is probably living with him for the moment--nothing but a scum bag-------

    I came across this blog after David had done two separate jobs for me. In 2009 he tiled our kitchen and in May 2011 he did a complete bathroom remodel. I'm not sure who the other posters are or if this is even for real because David Wilich has always done a great job for us. In fact just recently we had an issue with our shower and David came back and fixed the issue to our complete satisfaction without even charging us.

    I can say that David has been in a home for several days working unattended and never was anything taken. He is a hard worker and really cares about you being satisfied with the job.

    funny how the last positive comment is anonymous. Perhaps his girlfriend is trying to help him out here.

    All facts mentioned can be verified. Check with law enforcement. David has a history of posting to his own sites or giving his own phone number or that of someone in his control as his "references". Yes, he will give one of his phone numbers and speak with people as if he's referring someone else. Danger.

    It looks like he is still using Craigslist but it says he's licensed. Does anyone know if he really is or is this a lie too? I'm not familiar with what it takes to be licensed but I wish there was a way that people could be warned on Craigslist.
