MJC RESIDENTIAL MAINTENANCE PLUS

Mike was hired to finish a bathroom in my basement. We agreed upon a price of $3500. He started the project after I wrote him an initial check of $1500. He did some partial work which included installing drywall, and running some wires. After this work he asked for an additional check of $1000. This was paid and for the next 6 months I never saw Mike again. He gave various excuses and after nearly a year of delays and promises we finally agreed to cancel the project. He agreed to refund $600 of the total $2500 paid to him. He wrote me a check for $600 and told me not to cash it. After several more months he then replaced that $600 check with four $150 checks spaced 15 days apart. The first two checks cleared without any problems. The third check bounced and again for the next several months Mike made several promises to repay and missed every one. It's been over a year now and I've been forced to take Mike to court over the matter. It turns out I'm not alone as Mike already has two claims against him (do a search on the Minnesota courts website for Michael Crouch). Overall it has been a terrible experience and I would never use Mike again.

Mike Crouch is a gem and his work is first rate. He is honest, reliable, easy to work with and hardworking. He has a great eye for detail and his background and experience building homes really shows. He provides reasonable estimates and is always professional. If his work schedule differs from plan, he always calls to let me know. He's neat and doesn't leave a mess. I will hire him again and again!

He totally ripped out our basement, demolished and rebuilt it from the concrete backup in our basement. He has also done works like replacing light fixtures, sheet rock repair, ice melt elements on the roof and basement wall repair. Each job was different and he was reasonable.
