I cannot recommend M&C Global Construction. I hired them to investigate a water infiltration issue and paid approximately $2,600 for an "Investigation & Inspection" that included removing siding and locating the source of the leak.
During the process, I became increasingly uncomfortable with the number of costly additional repairs being recommended. I was told my vinyl siding was broken and needed replacement, but my current contractor later confirmed the siding was not actually broken. I was also quoted over $4,000 for a new sliding door because I was told the existing door MIGHT break during removal.
I was additionally advised that my deck should be demolished. However, three other contractors -- including one of M&C's own employees -- later stated the deck did not need demolition. At that point, I decided to terminate the contract and seek a second opinion.
After the inspection, M&C told me the leak was coming from the chimney and only provided photos of the chimney and surrounding roof area. However, my current contractor later discovered additional major issues that were not identified during M&C's inspection, including shingles that were too short, a saturated fascia board, and extensive wood rot behind the siding.
What was especially concerning was the difference in repair recommendations and pricing. M&C's proposed repairs exceeded $30,000, while my current contractor's estimate for the necessary repairs was closer to $20,000.
Overall, I left the experience feeling frustrated, confused about what exactly I paid for, and concerned that significant issues were missed while expensive additional work was being recommended. read more
