***Buyer Beware*** Very poor workmanship and non professionalism. Like a few of the reviewers, I read all the positive reviews and decided to call Maryam at MCCS. I really question the pictures and the positive reviews for this company. I needed to get some drywall, flooring, bathroom and paint work done in my house. The initial project was supposed to finish in one week with paying half upfront and supplies and the remainder half when the renovation was completed per expectations. My girlfriend and I was assured that Maryam and her crew (turns out to be her boyfriend Charles and her) would have everything completed perfectly and that my bottom floor would be a brand new room. They underbid the competition so we decided to go with them. About a week into it her the work became more sporadic as was stretched out as Maryam bickered that Charles had some family issues that he couldn't perform the work. 1 week became two and the supplies cost more that doubled. Typically when you hire a handyman you don't have to pay for his tools and there were receipts that included these items. Speaking about receipts, I asked Maryam to send them to me and unprofessionally she send me countless duplicates and her match several times didn't add up correctly. I had to correct her calculations several times. Towards week three we kept having to address the same issues of the drywall, paint and grout not looking right with paint drips, rough surfaces, and bathroom vanity tile falling off and not lined up correctly. Workmanship issues became more evident with all the imperfections in the walls and paint and unprofessionally they were reactive and didn't proactively address the issues. They even tried to add charges that was not authorized for example charging $50 to plug in a fire alarm that already had a clip harness that takes 2 minutes to install or a $50 charge to add a bead of grout. Maryam at MCCS may initially come across as a lower bidder but buyer beware as she will try to add the charges in other ways to try to nickel and dime you. When they say something is included they will do the work and then add a made up charge to the bill. This was by no means a small project nearly 10K and for anyone installing anything other than a swing set I would recommend going with a handy man service that uses contracts and has a proven track record in doing the work that is requested. Currently they have chosen not to complete the work professionally and next steps are being taken. She had her boyfriend threaten me that I better pay the remainder of the balance even when the work wasn't done to professional completion (see pictures) Charles quoted false figures ( so I'm not sure what was in truth shown to him on estimate ) how he would let everyone know how a bad person I was and he would deny that I paid for services and say I was a bad person etc. Truly you don't want these people in your home.
Description of Work: Bottom floor renovation. Drywall, painting, flooring and bathroom.

Maryam and Charles stopped by yesterday to install two ceiling fans and switch out a shower head. They arrived on time, even texting to say they were on the way, did an excellent job, and worked great as a team. I didn't time how long it took but I know they did everything a heck of a lot faster than I ever could have managed, and with a smile on their faces! I really enjoyed getting to know them and I'm REALLY enjoying the additional light in my office, plus the cool breeze. They did a great job, with a great attitude, and their price was spot on. I couldn't ask for more, and they're on my list of people to call when I need a helping hand. Thanks MCCS!
