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.

The project manager, Marcin Michalowski came out to give a quote on new windows and a roof. He said he needed to take some measurements and send a quote. He measured one window and left!! So obviously, we never received the quote! Stay away - there are plenty of other qualified contractors that won't BS you! These guys will just waste your valuable time.

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.

Called and made appointment and they never showed or called to cancel. Second time I've tried using an Angie's list referral that this has happened in the last two weeks. Will not use again for this type of work.

it was beautiful everything was like clockwork it was great

I called on a Tuesday to set up an appointment for the upcoming Saturday. I was given a window of 1pm-2pm arrival time. I called after 2pm for an update and someone took my name and called me back. The return phone call came a few minutes later and the gentleman asked me what this was for. I stated I had scheduled an appointment to get a quote for a deck. He asked me a few questions about the deck and then stated the person that does quotes was out sick today. I asked why I hadn't received a phone call earlier letting me know this. I received a very unprofessional response of "Well I called you now didn't I?". I will never even dream of calling this unprofessional outfit again. Avoid at all costs!

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.

I called MAK on a Saturday to request an estimate for a new roof and window replacement. I was told the technician would call me back to set up the appointment. 1 1/2 weeks passed so I called again on a weekday to request the same thing. A different woman apologized and told me that Mark would call me. It's now been at least 4 weeks and I've heard nothing. If their work is anything like their responsiveness, I'm glad they didn't call me!

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.

I called to have a MAK contractor come out to give me a quote on replacing my roof. He came out and looked at the job and said he would email me a quote but I didn't receive anything . Two weeks later, I called the main office to confirm that they had the correct email address and the office manager confirmed that they did (I've done business with them 2-3 times previously), and she would have someone call me. Still nothing. A few days later, I saw a MAK contractor doing work one block over in my development and I asked if someone could call me back. He told me that I had to call the main office. A few days later I called the office again. The office manager was polite, courteous and told me that the contractor had a family emergency and that someone would call/email me back. I still received nothing. I'm very frustrated that they think this LITTLE of a repeat customer.

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.

It was very good, I have never had an issue with them. They treat me very well. Different workers from the company do different things and they are all nice. They do not mind me watching over their shoulder.

MAK is a local contractor who performed work on my home prior to me owning it. I have twice made appointments to have them come to provide an estimate. Both times they did not show per the timeframe agreed upon. Both times I had to leave work early to keep the appointment.

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.

The contractor or sales person came and gave her an estimate for doing drywall repair, not the service we asked. There seems to be a communication problem. When I emailed this communication problem, I never got a response returned.

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.

I was extremely dissatified with the lack of professionalism and performance of this company. I will never use them again nor recommend them. Positives: -no deposit required -nice people -owner and answering serives does answer phone majority of the time. Negatives: -No written quotes given, verbal quote was suppose to include painting the trim which ended in a discussion. They eventually agreed to paint the top portion. -Stated 1-1.5 weeks for door to be delivered but it took 4 weeks. -Poor communication - majority of the time they were not proactive with calling me regarding delivery date of materials, installation date, when workmen would arrive etc -Day 1: Stated workman would arrive between 8-9am, they called at 9am to say he would be there in an hour. He finally arrived at 11am and did not speak English. Very difficult communicating on issues that arose during installation. -Job should of taken less than 1 day and it was finally finished on the 5th day after many heated conversations with the owner. -Worker did not bring enough materials and had to leave for about 1 hour to buy more. -When owner quoted the job he didn't realize that the new door frame would be of a different size; therefore, the inside moulding would need to be replaced. This needed to also be purchased during the middle of the job. Then worker cut part of the moulding too short and had to patch it with a smaller piece. -Even though discussed with owner during quoting that the trim was going to be painted, worker brought non-paintable aluminum trim. Contacted the owner who agreed to install paintable PVC/wood trim. -Worker did not wear safety glasses! Day 2 -Mid-day on the second day the owner showed up with the bill stating it was $145 more because of the more expensive PVC/wood trim and since he was there he wanted full payment eventhough the job wasn't completely finished. - 5 minutes after paying the complete bill, the Worker (since not wearing safety glasses) had a piece of foreign matter fly into his eye. He continued with installing the door knocker and doorbell but left before installing the storm door due to his eye. Installing the storm door, caulking around it and painting the trim were the last items to complete the job. - It took multiple phone calls to try and find out when the worker was coming back to install the storm door. Owner stated he didn't have any other workmen available to finish this last part of the job. 3 days later the worker came back and finished. -Owner didn't seem to have much regard for my schedule or my time away from work. At one point the owner stated "you don't have to be home. Just leave the storm door outside and someone will come by to install it." I have had 3 storm doors installed over the years and each time someone has to be home so the entry door can be opened. Let alone the idea of having an expensive storm door laying around to get broken or stolen. -Incorrect information, like mentioned-above, time worker is suppose to show up, painting trim, etc was given. - even though it was the error on the owner's part about which material to use for the outside moulding I still had to pay the extra cost and at the end I did not have them paint the upper portion of the trim.
