Mike Germain is not a licensed General Contractor in the state of NC. BEWARE!!! He hires subcontractors that do not follow county and state guidelines and for our project he did not get county permits or schedule a final inspection for oversight at the end of our 100k three level deck and grading project. This and the inconsistencies of the workers have led to a devaluing of our home sale because of the findings by an inspection done by a structural engineer.

The second photo is directly from the contract we signed on for and completed with him. We certainly paid and upheld our part of the contract. Mike Germain finally responded after multiple requests to address the lack of permits and final inspection on our project as well as the problems coming to light. We requested his contractor?s license number and he refused to provide it. This brings into question if he even has one. When he responded he created a very false narrative and explained that we were trying to rush the project to start and accused my wife of asking him to forgo permits. We were not even aware until last week that this situation was a far larger problem than we ever planned or paid for. This is extremely suspect! BEWARE!!!

Here is a photo of an email demonstrating how when Mike Germain was being confronted by visible concerns by us, laymen, he deflected, denied, gaslit, quick to press forward and leave a huge problem that would be discovered nearly five years later. Our project was over 100k and included a three story deck with a screened in porch, front decking, significant grading, fencing, retaining wall, installation of a sky light and repair to wood siding. Now Mike won?t respond and has nothing to say for himself.

Do not trust this contractor! We had a large scale project completed by Mike Germain and his team in the fall of 2020. We are currently selling our home and under contract. We always believed our deck would be one of our greatest assets. Upon further investigation Mike did not follow proper state and county codes. He did not get any permits for the work that was completed or schedule a county inspection so oversight could be provided for his company?s work at the time of completion. Imagine how this shock feels and put yourselves in our shoes as first time home buyers. This story is far from over as we approach negotiations to discuss the reconstruction of the bottom part of the deck touching the house, the entire screened in porch, upper open level deck, and the staircase. Do not make the same mistake we did by hiring an unprofessional and untrustworthy contractor such as Mike.

Very professional and easy to with . Workers obviously took pride in their work.

The work they did was great, communication was great, always knew what was going to happen and the employees were very professional, covered everything up and put everything back in place.
