Thursday arrived with significant work left to be done with Friday deadline. Work was rushed from then on and the end result showed it. Paint job was terrible. Tile floor was also cobbed. Much other evidence of hurry up and finish attitude. Issues were addressed a week later after several calls and waiting around for work to be completed again. Overall a very stressful , inconvenient and unimpressive experience. Felt our little job wasn't a priority . Would not recommend this company as they seem to have too much work to handle with reliable, satisfactory work for every job taken on.

DO NOT HIRE THIS COMPANY!! I originally decided to work with McDonald Construction for an interior…read moreremodel including new layout of kitchen, bathroom, and dining room, because I was impressed with the time Jeff (owner) took with me during the estimate process and I liked his attention to detail. However when the job started I didn't realize Jeff wouldn't be involved much at all. Instead the Foreman running the job didn't share the same values as Jeff, He is actually a complete HACK and I would never let him in my home again. Jeff's price was by far not the cheapest but I thought it would be worth it for a job well done. Instead all the electrical, plumbing, and HVAC was done by the foreman who clearly has no business to be in that line of work. It was all done incorrectly, with many shortcuts taken. He also lied and cheated his way through every inspection process that clearly needed to be done. After many missed deadlines, a job that was estimated to take 8 weeks was stretched to over 20 weeks where I was finally forced to remove this company from the job and spend more time and money finishing with other contractors. After just a few short months I am already having issues with the work McDonald Construction performed.

Wayne powerwashed and stained the exterior of my Adirondack style home on Lake Nancy in July 2023…read more From the day he quoted the job until the day the work was completed, Wayne did what he said he would do. The weather was rainy and he was very careful to ensure that stain wasn't applied while the house was still damp. There were no drips anywhere. The stain was applied evenly and thoroughly. Tarps and masking tape were used where needed. Great atttention to detail. His staff was courteous and reliable. I am very pleased with the job and I would not hesitate to recommend him for any painting job. If you hire Wayne, you won't be disappointed. Diane B.

Scammy. Wayne came and quoted my job, and was originally…read moresupposed to do it in October 2022, then it was pushed off till Spring, which spring turned into August. I was MORE than patient with him. He finally came to my house to do the job, after numerous no shows that past week and a half. When he arrived he asked to come out to review what we wanted to do, and it was filled with bait and switches. He was impatient, rude and off putting immediately if I tried asking any questions, and threatened to leave. He refused to do the work we originally agreed on which was the areas of the front of the house visible from the street or even have a conversation/work with me on what I wanted. I kindly reminded him we can calmly talk things through to get on the same page, and work things out, after all, it had been over a YEAR since I was quoted. I reminded him that the thinking was that if we were renting a lift, that we would do all the areas that would require it, so that we didn't have to rent it again... Logical, right? I even broke down and offered to pay more to have the section I wanted to be painted... This was when he admitted he didn't rent the lift like he was supposed to. At that point, I ended up going along with what he said he would do because I had waited so long and needed it done. Then, he told me that the paint was not included and I needed to pay for it separately, which was not notated anywhere in the quote that it was the clients responsibility. The quote gave the totals in the column, and gave the grand total at the bottom of the amount we agreed to including the paint, and then I realized the total at the bottom didn't even add up to any of the amounts given, it was very obscure, and disorganized leaving me, the client, feeling like he was trying to take advantage of me. Any attempt to discuss with him to review the quotes, problem solve, see if there was misunderstandings lead to hyper defensiveness, rude behavior, and again threaten to leave. After numerous times to sooth him I just let him go. He even got mad at me for even asking if I could pick the color of white for my own house, and threatened to leave over that! Not multiple colors, one color. If he had made a mistake and admitted it, and we could have talked it out and fixed it, and came to resolution. The whole experience was terrible, and completely unprofessional. We had agreed to do a portion of the house this year, and the other portion in the next year or two, and then at the end he admitted he didn't want to do the job because he didn't want to only do half. I told him I wish he had told be before and I would have changed plans, and not waited a year longer than we originally talked about. I do not appreciate dishonesty, and being dragged along just to be treated rudely to get out of a job. Simply communicate well. I would definitely not recommend him. After a year of waiting to have my house painted, I will probably have to wait till next year to get someone that available. To say the least, I'm livid.

She has just finished a fairly large painting contract for us in our home. She painted most of the downstairs of our 4BR 2.5 bath side hall colonial home including difficult ceilings. This included kitchen, family room, hall and half bath. To say she is fabulous is an understatement. She is a perfectionist . She is always on time and in a great mood. She is friendly and quite capable. She finished the work on time and we could not be happier with our " new home". If only all contractors were as professional, courteous, and had the work ethic this woman has, hiring a contractor would be easy. Thank you forever Adria.

I would not recommend Mike's Roofing Repair and Carpentry. I've been trying for over a year to get…read moremy slate roof repaired properly, and the roof is still leaking. Throughout the process, there were repeated no-shows and canceled appointments, usually with an excuse for why he couldn't make it. It became very frustrating because I couldn't rely on him to keep scheduled appointments.

After more than a year of trying to get the work corrected, I have decided to pursue the matter in small claims court. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend Mike's Roofing Repair and Carpentry.
