We gave a "roofer" a chance who recently moved to Eaton Rapids from Missouri. He told us he was a business then he told us to write our check(s) to him
personally because he had not yet set up a business checking account. Mike was a no show for the estimate he scheduled. The next day he showed up at 8 AM with a sob story and a zillion apologies. We had him do a minor repair on our garage. He quoted one price then added an extra $100.00. We re-hired him to do another roof repair and the next day he showed up, with no apology 4 1/2 late. His quote amounted to be $150.00 per hour for the time spent on the job. Mike had us make our check(s) payable to him personally yet wrote the bill on company letter head (M&R Construction, LLC). He did not want to clean up the discarded roofing material, nails, etc. on the ground. He verbally attacked my wife the following morning for asking about his falling apart shoes and van yet he had money for cigarettes and lottery tickets. I saw Mike's story on this site and was eager to give him business he was asking for as a new resident. Beware! read more
