MD Construction

I was referred to Mayadana Construction by a neighbor who had recently finished a project with them. I met with Abi the contractor whom was also the owner for the first meeting and explained to him what needed to be done in the house. (Basically everything!!!) I needed a kitchen remodel, 3 bathroom remodels flooring, painting, etc. I liked his unique sense of style and the ideas that he came up with. We got rid of a wall that was in between the kitchen and dining/​living room to give a more open layout. Everything came out magnificent and I will definitely recommend Abi to anyone that needs remodeling in the future.

Abi updated my bathroom and did a wonderful job about two years ago. I recently called him back to fix a grout issue and he was prompt in fixing it. I am very please with the work and my new bathroom.

Dont hire this guy. He will raise the price on you once the job has started and do lazy things like not put tiles under the vanity sink (coz apparently u cant see it anyway) You wont see him monitoring the project at all! Our time line was extended and the job was very sloppy. They did things like the sink is tilted, putting scratched tiles on, and other things. The worst was that no one notified us that there would be some guy, we have never met before working in our empty house. You might as well hire the guys at Home Depot. I think our project was too small for the company to take it seriously.

I am beyond thrilled with the work done to my kitchen and living room addition by MD construction. I learned of Abi from a home show. We started the job a month after meeting, and the Work was done promptly. I noticed that the materials used were of highest quality, my living room is of show room quality. He also put a whirlpool spa in my bathroom and haven’t had one problem with it, let alone any differences between what I wanted and what Abi was ABLE to do. I was communicating with abi throughout the entire job. I would recommend using this contractor because he has the experience and knowledge to make any home your dream home. I had a few estimates from another company, but they didn’t make me feel safe and secure with my investments.

I would highly recommend MD construction. They were very professional. Their designs were wonderful. We really felt like they listened to our needs and drew up a plan based on us. We want to thank Abi and his team for all their work!

When you have gone thru contractors like we have trying to get our home into a home, we were relieved that we came across MD Construction. We received daily updates along with beautiful and professional work. The price was reasonable and honest. Also, Donna their interior designer was professional and with creative ideas!

11/​27/​2015: DO NOT HIRE THIS CONTRACTOR! We have learned so much after being taken advantage of by this contractor. Some advice: do extensive research before you hire ANY contractor. For example, with this guy, when I checked his license on the state licensing board website, it states that he is exempt from workers comp because he has no employee but this is not true. He employs at least one person such as the foreman Humberto, who is not a sub contractor and carries NO workers comp. Tips for those of you who have already had work done by this contractor: HAVE A PROFESSIONAL RECHECK YOUR HOUSE. The walls and paint may look pretty now but you don’t know what lies behind those walls. They cut corners and use inferior products. I wouldn’t have known this if I hadn’t had a structural engineer inspect the work. There were so many things wrong that he wondered if they paid the city inspector to pass the inspection. Studs weren’t properly applied to bear proper load. Then there were studs that were spaced too far apart. Electrical wires weren’t properly secured. They installed new roofing OVER existing damaged wood and then did not properly seal my roof, leaving it exposed to rodents and weather. They purposefully damaged my rain gutters, then turned around and told me the gutters were damaged and wanted to charge me for new ones! With ANY contractor, you are LEGALLY entitled to a list of all subcontractors, ie for cabinets, windows, etc. This contractor won’t give you that list. I had to constantly keep track of every little detail because if I didn’t, he would find a way to charge us for something that was already covered in the contract. Examples:
1) Kitchen counter tops: he wanted us to pay for the counter tops when it clearly states in our contract that this is to be covered by him. When we pointed that out, he relented.
2) Fireplace: we specifically ask to move our gas fireplace to a new location. Contract clearly states that he will «frame fire place in its new location per new design» and «run new gas lines for dryer AND FIREPLACE». Yet, he attempted to coerce us into using an electrical portable unit! After MUCH stress and arguing, he again relented and agreed to run the gas line for the fireplace «at no charge» when this was specifically included in the contract as his responsibility.
3) Whirlpool tub: Even before construction began, we specifically printed out the specs for the tub we wanted in the master bathroom. His daughter, the designer on the project, recognized the tub and even commented that she had a client that used the same tub on a previous project. But when it came time for the tub to be ordered, he told us we couldn’t use a whirlpool tub and gave us no explanation other than that it can’t be used. Again, we fought on that point and he only relented when we threatened to halt the entire project.
These breach of contracts happened OVER and OVER and OVER again. He kept double charging us for things that were already covered in the contract.
4) Payment schedule: he front loaded all of the payments so that he was paid even before the job was completed. An example would be ordering the kitchen cabinets, windows and doors, all of which were included in the contract by the way. We should not have had to pay for these things until they are delivered. According to the Home Improvement Contract, it specifically states that «it is against the law for a direct contractor to collect payment for work not yet completed, or for materials not yet delivered.» Yet, we paid and now he’s holding it because we fired him.
5) Cutting corners
–Using Douglas fir for external frame on the master bedroom addition instead of the appropriate weather proof fascia board.
–Installing new roof on top of existing wood that was rotten and damaged
–Not securing electric wires appropriately in the rewiring of the house
–Not installing insulation on an exterior wall before putting on the dry wall as part of the kitchen remodel
–We paid him 11K for the electrical re-​wiring of our entire house with the understanding that he would pull the city permit for this, which he did not. if we didn’t check, we would never know!
6) SERIOUS STRUCTURAL NEGLIGENCE: The support beams that hold up my house were not reinforced with concrete like they’re supposed to. If termites got to them, my house would collapse! The invisible beams that replaced my load bearing walls were cut in multiple pieces which weakens their integrity and strength in supporting my roof. Doesn’t take a structural engineer to see this! This guy does not know what he’s doing!
And most importantly:
7) He lied to us and exploited our trust. He put our house at risk by allowing his worker’s compensation insurance to lapse. We repeatedly asked for proof of coverage and to date, have not received this information.
These are just the FEW things that we have had to deal with. If you hire this contractor, do so at your own risk. Don’t let our nightmares be yours

We first hired MD Construction in 2012 for a complete bathroom remodel, and new ceilings that covered cottage cheese ceilings, and a number of mouldings throughout the house. We were extremely happy with the experience as it was not our first remodel, and this time, it was completely professional business-​wise. Any adjustments to original plans we always signed off on, and there were no surprises. The workmanship was first-​rate throughout and schedules were always kept. Thus, we contacted MD again when we were ready to gut the other dated bathroom. We didn’t feel the need to go through 2^nd estimates, and deal with unprofessional people who give you a low price and surprise you with added costs later. We’re getting ready to embark on this new work before the end of this year and I know it will be smooth sailing.
Complete peace of mind.

We are very happy with the work performed by Mayadana construction in renovating and modernizing our original and outdated kitchen. The team was able to execute my wife’s vision for the kitchen very well and offered a GREAT price for a large construction project. The construction staff were pleasant and professional and cleaned up after each work day. Abi, the owner, was always accessible via phone call/​text to answer any of our questions. The company provided the staff their own portable bathroom outside of our home so they do not need to use our personal bathrooms. It was also nice to have an interior designer on hand as part of the services they offer and we highly recommend their services and expertise.

I had such a fabulous experience with MD Construction Inc. The service, the time line… For remodeling my kitchen and bathrooms. They have an architectural and design background and they provided me with that service as well. Job well done. Absolute recommendation.

I retained Abi to do a complete kitchen remodel on a Town Home I currently rent. Previously, there had been water leakage from a pipe that had caused mold and water damage. I was very pleased to find out that MD Construction was certified to handle the removal of mold caused by water damage. Because this was a rental and the tenant would be somewhat inconvenienced, time was of the essence in completing the project. I expressed my concern and wishes that Abi finish the project as quickly as possible. Abi’s crew showed up each and every day and the project was completed right on schedule. MD Constructon did a wonderful job remodeling the kitchen and I was very pleased with the results. My tenant was happy as well. I plan to use MD Construction again for a remodel in the future. Thanks again Abi for a job well done!

I was looking for someone to re-​do my bathroom and I was referred to Abi by a friend. I am in love with the finished results. He was courteous, professional and very well priced.
My bathroom is much better than what my expectations were. I will definitely be calling him back to do other projects. I would recommend him to my family and friends any day.

Abi is very helpful. He is very knowledgeable and gave me very useful suggestions. I will recommend him to anyone looking for home or business contractor.
