MAK Construction Corp

STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY!! If I could give zero stars I would. I cannot stress enough how terrible this company is. We hired them to do work on our garage and not only did they not finish the job, I have videos of one of the workers peeing on our property and throwing cigarettes in our grass. Job was supposed to be done in 4 days and after over week it wasn't done and we ended up having to just put the garage doors on and have to call someone else. They no call/no showed 3 times and were rude when I called to ask why no one was there doing the work. It was not a big job, easy money for these people and they blew it. Give your money to a company that deserves it and will do the job right and not pee on your lawn.

We received a fair estimate of the work that needed to be done. Daniel was on time to the initial appointment, he was extremely knowledgeable and explained everything in detail to us. It was a big job tearing of cedar shingles, he had a crew of 2 guys working at our house. They were diligent, thorough, very pleasant and left the job site very clean after a days work. Daniel stopped by every day to make sure all is going to our requirement. He even proposed the idea of re-doing our staircase and entrance way to match the house. He designed it and picked out the materials, it came out beautifully!! We will hire Daniel and MAK again for any other house improvements we have coming up. We highly recommended him and MAK.

it was beautiful everything was like clockwork it was great

Paul from M.A.K. Construction Corp. came to our home, and we were given pamphlets explaining the materials that would be installed on our roof, colors from which to choose, as well as a written estimate. The workers were punctual. The work was done well. The bulk of the work was done in one day (Friday), and they finished up on schedule (Tuesday). The workers used tarps to protect the house and cleaned up afterwards. They were very professional and courteous.

On time as quoted

Great. They were punctual, thorough, professional and clean. Protected our property and shrubbery with tarps. Finished when they said they would. They're price beat two other companies substantially. I would recommend them to anyone.

The first quote for this work over a small porch of $7,000 ... but if I signed right NOW i could get it for $6,000. Since my neighbor and his Enter roof done for $6,000 ... I had a suspicion that it was somewhat high. I also checked my face in the mirror after the Rep left to see if it had morphed into Goofy's face. The next estimate was for $4,000. I contacted MAK who did my an excellent job on my neighbors house and the President, Marion, came quickly buy. He went on the roof, and analysed what was needed and what was OK. (The house is 33 years old and we had the roof reshingled 16 years ago.) He examined all parts of the roof and told me that in addition, to the porch roof, the gutter on the main roof above had separated from the poorly constructed facing board and it should be replaced. The builder used compressed cardboard instead of wood which was allowed back then. His crew were friendly and efficient and made the repairs quickly. The cost was $1,800. I very gladly put up the MAK sign on my lawn.

Everything went smoothly. Unlike other roofers we called, MAK called us back and gave us a very reasonable estimate. They completed the job as expected. No issues. They don't try to rip you off.

The best estimate we got. Job was done as promised. Arrived on time, cleaned up. Did a great job.

The gutters are fine except that water leaks from behind the gutters. I was told that was due to the flashing, but they didn't propose fixing it eventhough they also do roofing. The patch work on the roof held up for a while..I knew that was temporary, so I'm ok with that.
The issue is mostly surrounding the large window. When I pay over $700 for a brand new window i expcet that it will look nice, both inside and outside of my house. The inside does look nice, though it was "larger" then my previous window and I didn't want it to be...not sure if Marion measured wrong or if the old size is not available or what. That is a minor issue, though worth mentioning as I wasn't told it was going to be larger and had a mini panic attack when the installer started sawing away part of my wall.
The outside of the window looks horrilbe. It looks like some amateur did it. The trim around the outside is literally resting on top of my siding. It isn't secured at all. It's folded over the wood frame around the window and looks like some bad do-it-yourselfer did it, not a paid professional. I had Marion come out to look at it and I was told that they couldn't do anything since I had aluminimum siding, not vinyl siding. He basically said that if I had vinyl siding it would look how it should, but since i didn't I was SOL. I didn't feel like arguing and let it go. However, I recently had a few other companies come out to give me quoates as the window started leaking and I was told by 2 separte companies that MAK did a horrible job and that they were embarassed for them. They basically said that they should have made the trim go into a "J channel" I believe and also mentioned that the piece of siding above the window was not installed correctly. Though MAK "left" the existing topper as is, per the other companies they should have fixed it as that can cause leaking in the new window. It was suggested that I give MAK another shot to repair their mistakes and it's been about a month now and I have not heard back from the owner, Marion. I guess now I will be ignored therefore I wanted to warn others about them. I personally liked him, but after discovering that there were ways to properly handle the trim even with my aluminum siding, I'm very disappointed and upset at how Marion handled the situation.

After our roof leaked near our chimney, I called to setup an appointment for an estimate. After stopping by, the contractor said he would need to have some "guys" come by to climb up on the roof to determine the cause of the leak. Why even come if you aren't prepared to inspect the place (no ladder, etc.)? Annoying. A few days later, my wife (luckily) happened to be home and heard someone on the roof! They had sent a crew to start work without ever telling us what was wrong or giving us an estimate of cost?! She told them to stop, which they confusedly did and then left. After a number of back and forth phone calls I finally got in touch with the original person who had stopped by. I could barely get an explanation of what they would do and got a "quote" over the phone. Despite my misgivings, I proceeded since I really wanted this fixed. They patched the problem and 18 months later, it leaked again! They charged $300 to slap some goop (very messily) on the chimney and called it day.

Great! Call them! We are very happy with the experience and are happy to have such a great team taking care of our house.

The house is a townhouse and during the latest storm, Sandy tore off some shingles on a roof that already needed to be replaced -- this just upp'd the timeframe. Some damage on the boards underneath occurred also. We had an estimate last year when we first realized we'd be needing a new roof, but we waited (due to money). There were choices of color as well a quality levels and not being able to make a choice, gave the owner the job of choosing what color would look best on this end unit where all the roofs are different colors. He did a fabulous job picking out what color and grade and WOW, what a difference 2 days made in the appearance of this home. We are thrilled with the quality of the roof, the quality of the job and they CLEANED UP afterwards -- a super job all around., th

So far so good. We've used MAK before to cap the soffits in our prior home and were very happy with their quality and price. Plus, Marion, the owner, personally came out on a number of occasions to make sure the work was going well.
The workers were very professional and completed the entire job in one 12-hour day. We are very happy with our new roof. So much so, that we've actually asked MAK to do more work around our home--eg, siding and caping sunporch.
Cleanup was also great--as I only found a handful of nails and some old shingles around the property. This is VASTLY better than other roofers I have used in the past that leave your yard littered with nails, etc.

I called M.A.K. and left an message stating that we would like to schedule the repair for that Monday. Their office assistant took the message; no confirmation was given at that time. Over the next few days, I didn't hear back but did leave another message. On the Monday morning that I had wanted to schedule the repair for, I heard a rustling outside and when I look outside it's M.A.K. workers putting up a ladder against the house and rigging up for the repair! The guys were friendly and took less than an hour to do the repair.

So while communication could have been better, it was good to have dealt with an honest contractor and one not eager to push unnecessary products or services in order to make a quick buck. When it's time to do the roof, I'm confident they'll be our first choice.

They were very reasonable in price, did the work in less then a week...and did a great job.

They were recommended to us by a contractor in Washington Crossing.

I sought bids from 4 roofers all from Angies List. All were responsive very nice and estimates were all so close that price was not a factor. I have a Patio Home, (duplex) and neighbor and I agreed to get new roofs together. We were happy with all but after pursuing it further regarding a vent we realized Paul from MAK knew the zoning better then then others and decided to go with him. The day before they were to install the new roof we decided to change the color, I called Paul expecting to hear a story about shingles being ordered and additional cost. Paul's response " No problem I just want you to be happy". The crew showed up the next day, Andy the foreman and the other two crew members could not have been any nicer or informative with great senses of humor. They did a great job, the trim work was much better then expected and my yard cleaner when they left then when they got there. My neighbor and I would reccomend to anyone.
