Business ProfileforMike's Fine Home Remodeling

This contractor is a *****! I hired ***************************** to do a large full house remodel on August 1st. His license is through this ex-wife *****************************. The whole project was supposed to be $103,000. I gave him $25,000 upfront to cover me through rough in. He kept asking me for more money the whole time. He gave me two change orders and I then paid him another $13,000. Total paid was $38,000. Now I find out my whole project has to be ripped out and done over. Now it's costing my twice as much. This whole time he never even pulled the necessary permits. He had hired an engineer that he made me pay for as well $1200 so he would know what was needed to support the house when I removed two large walls. He never even did it the way the engineer said to. The beams are supposed to be in the ceiling and they are all hanging below the ceiling. He installed them how he wanted not the safe way or to standard building codes. He installed new windows and doors without headers and no base **** supports. Not to building standards. He repaired a wall that was rotten and never even installed a bottom plate. He just nailed the wall stud to the floor . He hired an unlicensed plumber and then did most of the work himself which is all wrong and won't hold even hold air pressure. There are pipes cut hanging everywhere, unsupported, and below the ceiling. Then the electrical is just as bad. Cut wires taped and shoved up in the ceiling. Junction boxes that will not be assessable when the insulation goes in. The electrician drilled through the new LVL's and ran wire through them. Completely against NC building codes. There are rafters almost cut in half. I'm out of space to tell the rest of the story. Both jobs he left huge piles of trash everywhere. I decided to have some other contractors look at the job. It was worse then I realized. I'm very upset as a single mom struggling to trying to better my kids and my life This is a disaster. I asked him for my money back and he laughed.
