MNJ Enterprises LLC

Micheal howe owner of MnJ enterprises llc was hired to do 2 roofs for a friend of mine he was given over half the money down and did not come back untill september to do the job when he was supposed to be there to do it in may nor did he answer or return any phone calls from the homeowners to the point that the home owner believed he took off with their $6000 so they had me do one of the roofs and Mike finally showed up the day I was done with the one roof the home owner wanted to keep the friendship and give him another chance to do the second roof so Mike asked the homeowners for me to work with him on the roof for a said amount and that I would be paid at the end of every day. The first couple days when it was time to be paid was that I don't have the money to pay you $200 because the homeowners need to pay me $1200 for plywood.then it was changed to I never said you would be paid at the end of the day no one gets paid untill the end of the job about 3 days in to the job he said to me and my wife that the reason he asked for me to work with him is because he can not keep employees working for him and that the only other employee he had had just got out of prison the week before so he needed my help in doing the roof he was completely unprofessional in so many different ways the job was supposed to take 3 days it took 2 weeks because he and his fiance and 10 year old son that he would bring to the job would leave for lunch for 3,4,and 5 hours at a time on several different days some days he did not show up untill 10 or sometimes 12 or 1 or not at all when I was there at 8 waiting for him. When I asked about a w4 to fill out and there was always an excuse like I have to get the paper work, or I forgot it, or I'll bring it tomorrow, or I'll meet you somewhere and get it to you so you can get paid well that never happened and after working for him untill the job was completed I still have not been paid because supposedly the homeowner won't pay him what he believes he is owed I have worked in roofing and construction for 17 years and have never whitnessed such disregard for homeowners and employees as I have seen by him and his fiance I whitnessed them saying and screaming terrible things to the home owners I quote "I hope your husband has another f******stroke" well now the whole thing after countless phone calls and texts trying to get in contact that I had to have a friend contact him and now Mike has told them that if I want paid to go down to the court house and put a lean on the homeowners house! I just feel that everyone needs to know how this guy runs his business and save people from having leans put on their homes because he won't pay his employee

Michael Howe, owner of MNJ Enterprises, gave us a bid and assured us the project would be completed in 40-50 hours. We gave him a little more than the 50% down required and the work began well. After the 1st week he started to show up less and less. Eventually he quit coming altogether and never gave us any explanation or response to the contacts we made to him. That was 6 months ago. All that needs to be done is to install the rolled roofing, a door and finish the siding. I am so disappointed! Michael, a student of mine when he was in elementary school, got this job after he reacquainted himself as he and his young son walked past our house one day. He was so pleasant as a child and as the person bidding our project. I feel betrayed on a personal level.
