MIM Construction Inc

Meir Manor will tell you everything you want to hear during the interview process. This man is a liar and a con artist. He will spend 30 minutes reviewing a standard general contractor contract that says he can collect $1,000 as a down payment. All other monies owed to him will be paid when each phase of work is completed to the customer's satisfaction.

Meir will demand money for each phase of work upfront. He will not show up at your home until he receives the money.

Meir will tell you he has a number of sub-contractors (plumbers, flooring contractors, painters, cabinet makers, etc.) as W-2 salaried employees. Meir's only employee is his administrative assistant. All of his workers are picked up in the parking lot at Home Depot or other locations like Home Depot.

The California Contractor's License Board found over 30 mistakes made by his workers that he never supervised. Meir will tell you that he is on the job site supervising the work all day long. Meir shows up for 10-20 minutes each morning and for 5 to 10 minutes at the end of the day. He does not supervise the work. The Contractor's License Board fined him $4,500 for the work he performed on my house.

Meir currently has 5 claims going against his bond insurance at the same time. Meir has settled law suits with unhappy customers who are not allowed to discuss their case as a result of the settlement.

Whenever you ask Meir to fix the screw-ups made by his workers, his standard response is "LATER". "LATER" never comes. Meir will disappear with your money and never fix the screw-ups. Meir closed down MIM Construction, Inc. because of all the law suits against him. He now operates in the San Jose, CA area under a general contractor's license in his own name.

Meir put down a new hard wood floor in our guest bedroom. The wood was never sanded. He used the wrong wood. The wood was not installed correctly and we have 4 boards that are 4 to 5 inches higher than all the other pieces of wood.

In Meir's proposals he builds in an allowance for the purchase of paint, doors, windows, tile, etc. He will go to the store and purchase the cheapest material he can find. He will tell you this is better quality than what you picked out. He will still bill you the allowed amount and pocket the difference.

Meir installed in new stand alone shower in our new master bathroom. The shower floor was not sloped correctly so the water puddles near the entrance to the shower.

Our new tile floors in the kitchen, family room, hall way and 2 bathrooms were never sealed. Our marble countertop on the bathroom vanity was not sealed or installed correctly.

In one bathroom Meir installed a store bought vanity without sealing the floor. We had a one inch gap between the wall and the floor where they intersect.

Meir told us that his salaried employee cabinet maker would custom make kitchen cabinets and bathroom vanities for us. He brought his adult son and son-in-law to our home claiming they were cabinet makers. Neither of them asked any questions about the cabinets. The cabinets were made in China and shipped to us. The cabinets were not installed correctly. When you open a cabinet door it rubs against the next cabinet. The hardware for the drawers were put on crooked.

Every electrical outlet and light switch cover throughout the house were put on crooked.

The list goes on and on.
