Had a horrible experience with Mr Montoro! I called to get a quote for a extension to the new home i bought. I was shopping around to see which architect would give me the best deal. I called Mr. Montoro to come check out the project. He was the only architect that charged me an hourly rate to check out the project. I figured it was only gonna be 2 hours so I figured I would pay his hourly rate.
Mr. Montoro hands me a contract to sign at the end of his time at the house. I was under the impression I was agreeing to pay for his consultation fee. That was not the case. Mr. Montoro sends me an email
