MCG Contracting

4.4(49)✓ Google-verified

Most reviews praise MCG for fast scheduling, polite crews, and tidy job sites; owner Mike is often mentioned and appreciated for showing up personally. Two earlier one-star reviews cite rudeness and poor fence work, but these are significantly outnumbered by five-star feedback on decks, patios, and fencing. Recent mixed signals suggest inconsistent service or interpersonal fit with some clients.
