First day at work, I meet Mr. McDonalds workers...one with a mental issue and one on disability....Mr. McDonald informed me of this not at the time of signing the contract. First day my ceiling on front porch get's damaged, ceiling was not going to be replaced because it was just fine. Mr. McDonald wanted me to accept a cheap patch up job with my front porch ceiling, I did not accept and finally he replaced my whole ceiling. As they are working side by side of the house, I am pointing out what all looks wrong and needs to be fixed....McDonald got tired of listening to me. Nails and trash during work hours got never picked up, we had to do this ourselves. With his lousy calking work, he messed up my expensive front door. His bad caulking work is on my floors around the house, very bad job. As days go on...his quality of work got worse and worse. After 21/2 weeks, I see him place his heavy equipment on our grass and irrigation system. as I asked McDonald to move it...his reply...boy, you are a hard women. McDonald and his two helpers just showed less and less respect for me, my family and property. Two light fixtures they damaged also, cigarette buts were left all around the house. All the coil trash was never removed. New vinyl gate got never installed. Before all the vinyl siding work was done, they packed up and left work not to return. Only because I told McDonald that if he does not take care of all the clean up and details that were left out as they moved on, we have to deduct some $$$ of the balance. McDonald Home Improvements is a nightmare for any home owner, truly wish this not to happen to anybody else. Update 02-22-2014 Mr. Mc Donalds lien on our property exired after 6 month, this is only good for 6 month and you must take the customer to court and proof your case....well, Mr. Mc Donald did not do so, because we worked without A BUILDING PERMIT, A MENTALLY ILL AND A MAN THAT IS ON DISABILITAY. Mr. Mc Donald is a crock and does not follow the N. C. LAW, AND HE DOES NOT KNOW WHAT HE IS DOING. He was hoping to hurt us with the lien, oh.....NO....he is wrong....you have to proof yourself in court....but Mr. Mc. Donald doesn't know what he is doing....went by his house...he and his company is nobody.....DO NOTGET HURT BY THIS BUSINESS....Mr. Mc Donald will break the law just to get your money and then he will run. Be aware.
Description of Work: Install new vinyl siding. Trim coil...to replace all old coil. New vinyl gate in back yard.

Response from McDonald Home Improvements
[member name removed] had bipolar tendencies from one day to the next her personalities would change. I have been doing business since 1980 around Cumberland Counties and surrounding areas, and I have NEVER had to leave a job unfinished or have I had a complaint. But when a crazy woman is in your face calling you a "liar and a piece of shit" and telling me to leave her property or she would have me arrested for trespassing I had no choice but to walk away. As for the quality of my work I have MANY satisfied customers who would stand up for me and I have dealt with a lot of hard to please people and I have ALWAYS been able to make them happy. [member name removed] behavior got worse on the last day of the job, with less than three hours to finish. She still owes me money and I had to take out a Mechanics Lien against her property and the home on it. Be careful before you do any work for this woman, she is quick to give you money, but trust me it isn't worth the all the trouble. I am unsure of what she means by heavy equipment, because I do not own any! As for this review site, I do not need it..my business has thrived on word of mouth referrals not a website or paid advertising.
