Worst«incomplete» job ever! They are not experienced in the building trades other than painting. They ignored instructions. they attempted to perform plumbing without certification and overcharged for an incomplete and ridiculous attempt of a job. Rich Miracle is a horrible scam who lost his contractors bond in 2014 and now operates under his new wife’s bond. which is now in jeopardy as they stole $ 10k from a 73 yr old man. They scammed a 56 yr old man into a $ 100K loan and immediately defaulted and broke communications. Richard Miracle and his company do the worst quality and don’t care. When you correct him be yells and cusses at you and continues to ask for more money up and beyond the original bid. he crew is known to be drunk and using drugs on the site. Then when the job remains incomplete and any balance unpaid(awaiting completion) they threaten to take it to court and lien the home/property! They have a 2 page court record both civil and criminal. This is the worst experience I have had in years. I am a 61 yr old female with a real estate brokers license and a former contractor so I know the difference between quality and a chop job! The more I research online the more complaints are showing up and many anonymous have contacted me with their personal experiences with this company and Richard Miracle. He is a horrible person and takes advantage of and prey on senior citizens and the elderly because they think seniors are push overs! Stay clear of these despicable people. And share with everyone!

THISWASONEOFTHEWORSTEXPERIENCES I HAVEEVERHAD. AVOIDATALLCOSTS! First of all, this contractor promised work would be completed within 1 week. FIVE weeks later and the project was maybe 60% completed before I finally kicked him out. Not to mention it is IMPOSSIBLE for this contractor to be anywhere near on-time. You have an appointment with him at 12pm? Be prepared for him to arrive at 8pm, YESTHISWAS A REGULAROCCURRENCE and caused me much headache as I waited around for the contractor to finally show up. The biggest complaint I have is this contractor did not put up ANY sort of plastic barrier or ANYTHING around the work site and got dust EVERYWHERE. The total damage to my home due to the dust is extensive. I have had to throw out a lot of clothes and bedding. Hours upon hours of cleaning required removing all the construction dust. We are still not done and it has been 5 weeks. EVERYSINGLEROOMINMYHOUSEHADDUSTINIT. I asked the contractor what his plan was to clean the dust and I was told that it was my responsibility. When I asked him why he didn’t put up plastic sheeting or some sort of barrier, he stated«yeah I probably should have done that…» He also went into my shed(without permission) and used my tools(without my permission). He got paint and plaster all over my tools and paint. He used my personal broom(destroyed), my house vacuum(destroyed), and my shop vacuum(also destroyed as the result of his use). He also used one of my fans for ventilation(didn’t damage it but annoyed to find him using my stuff without my permission). This contractor backed his truck up into my lawn, hitting my tree and knocking down a large branch. If that wasn’t annoying enough, he LEFTTHEHUGE branch in our yard for us to deal with. He also ripped up my ENTIREKITCHENFLOOR without my permission and then tried to charge me for it. His reason for doing so was that early on in the project I had mentioned in passing that EVENTUALLY I was going to have all new floors put in my house. In NOWAY did I ask him to remove the flooring, or even hint that I wanted the floor removed. I had planned to do the floors next year, but since this contractor has entirely ripped up my perfectly good floor, I am now forced to move early on this. I think he was trying to force me to have to get new flooring earlier which would have improved his chances of HIM getting awarded the additional work. When I didn’t fall for that, he decided to charge me for ripping out my floor. I told them that I was not paying for that because I didn’t authorize it NOR did I want it. Now the contractor is threatening to place a construction lien on my house over it. In the meantime I have BARE hardwood/subfloor exposed in the kitchen and dining room of my house which makes the rooms pretty much unusable. I had to go to Walmart and spend a few hundred dollars on area rugs just to cover it up. In addition, this guy is just annoying as heck. He whines and complains constantly. I got barraged with long drawn out text messages ranging from thanking me, threatening me, and bizarre personal details about his family. We also discovered this contractor is probably a habitual liar. He has told us before that he works at Disney as an «Imaginer», was a Chip ‘n Dales dancer, was a policeman, was a motivational speaker, and the list goes on and on with jobs that this contractor has supposedly held. Hard to believe when he is also claiming 18 years’ experience as a contractor. Here is an example of the text messages I would get on a daily basis: «All the work that I’ve done and all of the passion but yesterday I got to hear my children say that I have not been a father to because I could not be in about 15 years that they were going to go to school to be master Carpenter as if they didn’t know that I own a business so that I could teach him this I’ve thought about him with all my heart and I’ve done the best that I could for them but their mother is kept him from knowing the truth and it broke my heart you destroyed my mind for a minute I thought to myself why would you want to go to school when I have set all of this up for you so that you could have a better life follow in my footsteps you don’t even know how much I love you I didn’t even go how to react I just told them I love them it was blown away by the circumstance but I am the tiny on King as far as recycle reuse then there is beautiful pieces are full of passion and creativity I’ve given my heart to show the world what I can do so that they can benefit from it it’s been a long hard road coming from 300 bucks in the back pack nine years ago» This is verbatim what was texted to me. This is also NOT even the longest or most inappropriate text he has sent me, but it does give you an idea of how unprofessional this guy is. The quality of the work is terrible. When I asked him about it he got in my face and threatened me, I had to call the police to make him leave. AVOID!!!
