Mickelson's Masonry,LLC

The work was good; however, the owner (apparently does not have any other employees) was flakey about when he would show up, never gave day/time when he would return. My husband had to remind him when we only had 3 days before the inspection time was up to get approval for the approach and sidewalk. Most important was his lack of professionalism the night before the concrete was to be poured - he left the job site (our home) then called wanting to know if my husband had called the city inspector. I didn't know and my husband wasn't home. I told him I would have my husband call him asap. Before my husband arrived home, Mr. Mickelson called again saying he had made a mistake in his estimate and would need more concrete which would cost us $1000 more. My husband called him to discuss and was told 'PAY OR I PICK UP MY EQUIPMENT AND WALK'! Now you can imagine that we felt we were held hostage as what were the chances of getting another contractor to come in to complete the job. Mr Mickelson should have spoken with my husband face-to-face as an honorable man instead of using threatening tactics. Our mistakes: not checking the company on the CCB website (he was licensed only in March 2016) and not insisting on a SIGNED contract; we only had an estimate. We would never use this company again!
