After two years to coordinate work of Angie's List deal I finally got Nick to my house for some painting as all my other projects had been addressed by this time. Nick did a Fantastic job and with Mike's approval stayed longer than the deal I had purchased so I had little left to finish myself - nice gesture. I agree with all other reviews in that it is difficult to coordinate time but the work is great when completed. I would contact for bids in the future but address schedule and payment differently.

They did everything and it turned out great. They came back the next day and put a back-up. I don't really have to wait so they took care of it. I already referred them to a couple of people. The quality is better and if there's a problem, they would address it but the price is a little higher. It took them time to make sure the quality is right.

It too a while to schedule the job since they were busy. Once scheduled, the job was done fairly well.

Shoe was awesome! Punctual and very cooperative and willing to work with me to figure out how to best finish my projects within budget. I will continue to call him for any needs.

Shoe could not get to the project straight away and it took a bit longer than I had hoped. But Shoe and his team did really good work and aimed to please. I am very happy with their care of details and the end product they gave me.

We had a lot of rotting wood on our cedar deck, mainly flooring but also a couple pieces of railing. The individual representing M W Construction asked me what I had found that needed replacing. He went to work immediately and stopped only briefly for lunch. We discussed what else he had found and he showed me additional problems I had missed. We agreed they needed to be fixed. | |All said and done, he replaced some 90 board feet of decking and railings. |Since the deck floor and railings are not squared, every piece removed and replaced needed to be angle cut. The individual did an excellent job of removing bad boarding, salvaging what was still good and replacing the old with the new. | |Bottom line, couldn't have asked for better. Would definitely have M W Construction do work for me again. | |My verbal contacts were with the owner, MW. Everything we talked about happening, did happen. Keep up the good work. | | |

The bathroom looks Amazing! and the cost was very reasonable. A+
We performed a large portion of our home-remodeling ourselves, but for the Tile-work, we needed a trustworthy and reliable professional, with extensive experience, whom we could trust to put the finishing touches on our dream bathroom. Mike 'Shoe' Welch was exactly what we needed! He was a wizard with the Tile-work and stayed late on many nights going over the details of the layout, and giving us expert advice on general construction issues for the bathroom remodel and throughout the rest of the house. Shoe and Tim worked cleanly and efficiently to finish our job on time, all while working around our other home-remodeling efforts.
We had several contractors quote our bathroom-tile job, and Shoe's price was very reasonable. He was not dirt-cheap, but was Less than Half of the price of some other big-name Tile guys. What really sold us on M W Construction Services however, was Shoe's ability to understand the full-picture of the bathroom design concept, while also taking personal-stock in our project. He is meticulous in his work, and genuinely cared about the end-result. We trusted Shoe's expertise, and for a fair price, he delivered gorgeous tile work for our bathroom!
Finished product was delivered on-time, as-promised, and we love it !

We had the house power washed by another company and then wanted to get the trim redone so we purchased 8 hours of time in Sept of 2012 and I contacted the contractor a bit after that, by November 27 no one had started and we were concerned since the weather would likely be a problem soon.
The owner was very nice and seemed very overwhelmed so we may have just caught them at a bad time. The painter that was sent out also seemed nice but the quality of the painting was quite poor (it may have been 2 different painters since we were only home during part of the job. We were never told about how much of the house would be covered --they just started in on one side window By December 6 we were still communicating about getting the final front window sill done for which we needed to pay for an additional 2 hours of time.
We were sort of surprised that 8 hours of time would only cover the one side window and 3 of the 4 windows on the front of the house-- particularly since only 1 included sanding and prep work while the others were clearly just painted over and since only the outer rims of the windows were done (we did not ask them to remove the storm glass so they did not have to paint around the glass panes. Although we were concerned about the remaining trim on the house, we did not attempt to retain them nor were they eager to provide information about trying to finish. On the final day, I noticed the painter leaving without the ladders--he said the owner would have to come back for them...they sat at our house for quite some time.
Everyone has a bad day so maybe we just got caught up in one

I had signed up for an Angie's special with MW Construction which included 6 hours of handyman labor. Because of the positive response on this offer, it took a little while for Shoe and I to connect, but I was in no hurry and told him so.
At one point he suggested I take pictures of the affected door so that he could assess what needed to be done without taking away from my 6 hours of labor. That was much appreciated and I'm sure saved at least 1/2 hour. As it was, when Nick came out he was ready to get started.
There were three doors in my home that had various types of weather damage. While Nick was working on the back door, which involved the most work, he sent my boyfriend to the store to get parts we needed to fix the garage door. I also had him look at some areas of wear around the front door that just needed to be sanded and repainted. We were able to find paint that had been used when the house was built to use for that project.
Nick completely replaced the outside of the basement door, repaired the inside rot areas and added caulk to weatherproof around the door as it looked like there might have been some leaking.
He then completely replaced some chair railing around the outside of one of the garage doors and repainted the entire area, and then sanded and repainted the areas of the front door.
He did not take a break for lunch and it was on of the 98 degree days where he was in the full sun all day. He did a fantastic job and only stayed an additional 1/2 hour past our original 6 hours.
His work was high quality, the company clearly is not trying to take advantage of the customer or trying to get extra money out of them, and I will absolutely have them back to help out in other areas of the house.

After two very negative experiences with companies from Craigslist, we were a bit gun-shy about having anyone else come into our home. We are in the middle of an unexpected move out of state so we couldn't handle much more stress or unfulfilled completion dates. We researched many companies on Angie's List and were impressed with the overall feedback about M. W. Construction. We almost had to choose someone else until we found out that they accept credit cards, which was extremely important due to a strict budget. We initially spoke with Shoe about two weeks ago and he sent Nick out to do an estimate. A price was agreed upon and Nick began work promptly that following Monday with an anticipated completion date of Friday. Nick arrived with a smile at 8am every day and didn't leave until around 5:30pm at night. He worked diligently and didn't take any unusual breaks like other workers we've had. Nick was very polite and got along very well with my husband while sharing information and construction stories. He was kind to our animals and was patient with our toddler son when he occasionally got in the way. Nick put up ample plastic to limit the amount of drywall dust that escaped. He was very aware of the importance of having my kitchen available at night so he did his best to free up this space before leaving. Nick swept the floor and cleaned up every night before leaving without being asked. We are very particular but Nick was always willing to do whatever was needed to get the job done to our satisfaction. He even came in for a few hours on Saturday to ensure that everything was completed thoroughly, even though he had plans with his family. Nick went out of his way and we sincerely appreciate all he did for us. We would certainly use Nick and M.W. Construction again if we ever return to Missouri!!!!

Below is the original comment I left for Shoe almost immediately after the door was installed.
After my husband examined the door he found a few issues with it. I tried contacting Shoe and did speak with him. We had another contractor come and fix the problem. My husband wanted to talk to him after the fact and left several messages on his voicemail. He never responded. I sent him a text and he did call me and said he hadn't checked his voice mail in months. There's something wrong with that if you are in business. At any rate, the short of it is, he is very unreliable as far as follow up is concerned and I feel that seeing a job through until the end is the biggest part of a job.
The door wasn't installed correctly. End of story.
Original comment:
Shoe responded and came by to talk to me the same day I called! He said obviously this doesn't happen all the time, but he happens to live very close to me.
He spent a lot of time talking with me about all of the work we want to get done. Because we got burnt by a contractor earlier this year, he suggested just doing a small job for us so we could check out his work. I thought that was a great idea!
So he actually worked us in and did the job 2 days after we met. His guys were friendly and professional and they worked hard to do a good job for us.
We love our door and it looks great!
Thumbs up to Shoe, Shane and Dave!
We hope to use them again very soon.

I called the company and talked with Mike (Shoe) and told him of the job I needed done. He made an appointment that evening to stop by and look over the job and give me an estimate. He showed up on time and quoted me a price of $200 to take out the old door and install the one (that I provided.) We set up an appointment for the next week and told me that the installer's name was Dave and he would call me the day before to confirm. Dave showed up at my home ten minutes prior to his appointment and waited in his car until time. Mike also showed up and they discussed with me exactly what I wanted accomplished. Dave was very courteous and professional. He did a fabulous job and cleaned up everything afterwards including vacuuming inside and outside the door. I couldn't have been more pleased with the work and professionalism shown by both members of this team. I will definitely use them again. Thank you!

Absolute WORST experience I have ever had. I hired them back in March based on the reviews on Angie's List at that time. I had no idea what an incredible nightmare this would turn out to be. I should have had a clue when I had trouble reaching him and getting him to commit to a start date. The work started out great, but once he realized that he seriously underbid the job, it came to a screeching halt. 16 WEEKS for a very small bathroom remodel. Words cannot begin to describe how aweful this was. Weeks would go by that no one showed up to work on our bathroom (we only have one bathroom) and no communication was given as to what the delay was.When they did show up, they didn't have the equipment they needed, they used our trash cans for saw horses and left the exterior of our brick home covered in ceramic dust. They rinsed paint brushes out in my kitchen sink and left paint residue all over the sink. They rinsed paint pots and cans out in our black top drive way leaving paint stains in our driveway.
The tile work started out great and most of the shower looks really good (this was done by the owner). The work done by his workers, well not so great. You can definitely tell a difference in the tile work that different people did the work. The workmanship is not consistent. The paint job on our doors is so bad that we are probably going to have to hire someone to fix them. I would have preferred that they didn't paint the wood work at all if they were going to do that bad of a job.

"1st of all, I won't make any excuses for the amount of time this project took. It was a nightmare for us also. Obviously there is a short term memory issue going on with some exaggeration. This bathroom is by far the nicest room in the house. She failed to mention that the house is over 100 years old. The previous work in this bath looked like a 3 year old did it and when they took a shower it rained in the basement. I told her in the begining that this job may be a huge pain and made me more nervous than any other job I've done in years. They didn't have the demo done that they were suppose to do to save money. We did it! She failed to mention that I gave her a credit of $400! She failed to mention that when we pulled off the cultured marble the house fell down around us. We spent an incredible amount of time and money making these out of square and out of level walls workable due to she wanted hi-gloss white 4 inch tiles with black tiles and trim throughout, with shampoo cubby in the shower, black trimmed out glass block window ( that the same 3 year old installed), another black custom saop insert above her pedistal sink. We, as another added bonus grouted the black areas in black and the white areas in white, which initially was suppose to being all white. The door she talking about is also 100 years old and god knows how many coats of paint it has. We just repainted over existing paint. It has lead paint on it and never, do I tell anyone that I'm sanding and scraping lead paint. There are laws and fines for this. Nobody cleaned anything in the sink, but the mess on the driveway may be ours. She also failed to mentioned anything about the extra tile I bought and grout that she didn't get. This ended up being a $2400 job (because I gave back $400) and I guarantee you, this is by far the nicest bathroom on the block. We have the best guarantee in town. I guarantee everything we do for as long as I'm in business. I started in 1989 and plan on many more years. If there was anything to fix, I'll fix it, period!"

On the day of service, Nick showed up on time, did my variety of list of projects- baseboard replacements, hung shelves, fixed screen door and electrical switches.. All went well, and did a very nice job. Very nice and professional.

My sincere apologies for the delay in my review, because Shoe and his crew are simply incredible!!!
This was a week long job and a complete bathroom renovation outside of the tub/shower. Shoe gave us an outstanding price for what we wanted done....over a thousand or more from other contractors. He and his crew were professional, polite, and fun for me to work at home with the entire week. They provided excellent guidance and design ideas as well as some areas to complete ourselves so we could save money. Out outdated, tiled bathroom with yellow floor and blue fixtures went through a complete and modern transformation. They walked me through each day and what would be completed, and left everything cleaner than they found it. I honestly cannot thank these guys enough! We have received a ton of complements on our new bathroom, and it was money well spent. I can't wait until we have a new project, Shoe is the first guy I'm going to call!!!

Overall, once I got on their schedule, it all went great. We had a little difficulty getting scheduled. Nick showed up a few minutes early. He was polite and professional. He took care to protect my new floors and consulted with me when he had a question. I thought that we would have to fill the nail holes when he was done but was pleasantly surprised that he performed that task as part of the installation. We not only got the 3 rooms done that I had planned but he offered that he still had some time and could complete a 4th room since I had enough baseboard materials. I was thrilled. The baseboards and doors look great. I plan to call them again when I need some carpentry work done.

It didn't go well at all! First of all I purchased 2 of the providers big deals which were $149.00 for 1/2 days work each on September 8, 2012. Mike Welch (shoe) called to let me know that he had many people buy his deal and asked if I'd be patient. He said since I had outside work he was going to try to get to me before the weather got bad. Long story short, I didn't get my work done until May 8, 2013, (8 MONTHS LATER). Nick came and replaced the trim and treated and painted it. The window looks good. He painted 3 decorative vents in the front. He was supposed to paint my front door and fix a door knob but ran out of time. The one vent didn't look good at all so I called Shoe. He came by and looked and it and called me to say he agreed that it needed to be repainted. Since we had to wait so long he agreed to paint the front door and fix the door knob too. I called him every week because I was having a party and wanted the work done before it. Shoe assured me he'd have it done by June 20th. I never heard from him again. I once again left many messages for him but never heard a word from him. He never once tried to met me when he came by to look at our job. I think this is very unprofessional. I would never recommend him to anyone.
Response from M W Construction Services
"Due to the amount of calls I get it has been very difficult to keep up. Funny on how they didn't mention the fact of me making 2 trips to their house to make sure of getting the correct material. This cost me $30 in gas and 4 hours of my life. I did meet with the husband once. I also had to spend my money to buy their materials. Folks I don't want to spend my money on my house, why should I spend it on yours. Not to mention the time spent driving and getting the materials. They paid for 8 hours and got not only 8 hours but an additional 5 hours of my time driving around looking and picking up material. They did pay for the materials the day the work was done but with a little hesitation thinking maybe they were included. It is not my fault the work they wanted, required more time. This is a huge problem in our nation, people always wanting something for nothing. I'm sure they don't own this nice house working for free."
