Complaint Review: Midwest Restoration

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. I don't know how anyone gives them any stars or recommendations. If you search the name Mark Schneidewind - the owner - you find all of the negative reviews and information as to how he is taking money and not completing work.

Working with the company has been a nightmare since we signed the contract. Siding work is horrible - things were not installed correctly or omitted all together. We've had to replace items ourselves. When going to have the house finished - we found that they did not put the flashing under the siding as needed for our stone to be installed. The only way to fix it is to pop the siding up - which has already been caulked - and hope that it doesn't crack the siding or the caulking.

The siding spacing is all off. It is not consistent at all!!!

We signed our contract and paid in full, but once we finally were sick of not getting a response to fix siding before they painted - we fired them. Of course we had services that we had already paid for - and Mark will not pay us back. Caulking is one of them.

ALSO - please not that he did pay us back a deposit - after SEVERAL attempts to get a response from him we finally just showed up at his office. HE WOULD NOT EVEN COME OUT OF HIS OFFICE TO TALK! MADE HIS SECRETARY CALL HIM AND BE THE MIDDLE MAN TO TALK TO MY HUSBAND. He wrote us a bad check. When we found out that it had bounced - of course our bank charged us for it - we got the original check back and the bank that he wrote the check from is NO WHERE AROUND HERE. So you cannot go to cash it. After talking to the secretary again - she assured us that the money was in the back - but guess what, IT BOUNCED AGAIN!!!

I just don't get how someone like this is still in business.

NO MATTER WHAT YOU READ FOR GOOD COMMENTS ABOVE I WOULD GO TO THE BBB WEBSITE AND LOOK MIDWEST RESTORATIONS. Don't be fooled - I am sure those 5 or 4 star comments above are comments he posts himself to make it look good.

Here are just a few of the articles I found when searching his name. You can also search for Mark Schneidewind. He has changed up the name of his company - also known as MWR and I believe his significant other had a company name Dollhouse. Which has also been banned. Her name is Susan Cuthill.
