THIS CON MAN SHOULD RECEIVE ZERO STARS -- Everything the other reviewers mentioned sounds spot on…read more (except for the driveway person... Apparently he can handle scraping a road, just not any building projects! and in any case, whether he completes your job or not, is based on his whim.
Don't be fooled like we were - He talks a good game. In fact when I first met him, I should've trusted my instincts... I felt the man was all talk and no action. I certainly should've read the reviews and not gone with the one referral we had.
Mike Tesman, Mosaic Builders, should be in jail where he can't continue to hurt, & steal from others. When I confronted him face-to-face, as he was removing his equipment from our field, where he stored it for free for two months, not doing anything, he even said he would get us paid back for not doing the work AND not ordering the barn door (for which we also paid him). & that too was a lie. He'll say anything... to simply take your money and run.
If only we'd researched more & read reviews BEFORE we paid this con man. Sadly, we were given incomplete info. when we looked into hiring a builder & ended up getting taken by Mike at Mosaic.
Long story short - DIY sold us a kit. Mike was "on their list," (but doubtful that's the case now!) He convinced us to pay deposit, plus 40% -- plus $ for barn doors (which he never even ordered from Amarr). He talked himself up, then didn't show up, except a couple times, when he tore down our old barn - which he knew we needed rebuilt quickly for our two old horses. Instead, weeks went by and he was a no-show, despite the mild weather. We trusted him, but he's without conscience. He started out making excuses, then that quickly evolved into his ghosting us. He never even started building the barn & after two months, we notified him we wanted a refund for services not rendered. (The supplies were laying out in the field and we worried they'd start to warp.) He made no attempt to refund anything we'd overpaid him.
Simply put - Once he stole our money, Mike Tesman disappeared. He is a thief & a user, and doesn't care who he hurts. Besides the reviews, I noted his lame rebuttals... & had to laugh. He tells you there's "no problem" with this or that, then acts like it's an issue, or makes something up when he responds to those posting an honest review... You can't believe a word he says. (& he's not worried about his license - Another source stated he doesn't even have one.) Wish I would've known then what I know now! Trusting that the courts (or at least karma) will catch up with this criminal. If nothing else, hope others learn from our mistakes and misplaced trust..
