Mighty Joe's Contracting (Canada) Joe Aubin Leaky Basement Loudmouth, Footing & Foundation Fraudster, Deranged Druggie Drainage Dude, Replaces Foundation with tarps and runs Saskatoon, Saskatchewan
If you are in and around Saskatoon and have any sort of wet basement problems, this is the dude to avoid at all costs. He has already applied his fraudulent tricks in and around Calgary, Alberta and has ran back to his home town. He catches you in your time of need when your basement has water problems and no other contractor returns your call or when you think you can get the job done cheaply because you believe what he tells you.
He claims to have experience in all sorts of fixes, patching or restoring concrete, putting membrane on the outside of the foundation, inside and outside drain tiles, sump pump and weeping tiles. His experience comes from brochure pictures. He is a common labourer who can't read and has the gift of the gab and has your ear. He is there to help YOU! He is the only contractor who called you back and has the time and equipment to do it, he wants your money and he is full of promises of good things, and as he opens more holes he will discover new problems to fix for you.
If you give him any money and get hooked he will squeeze you along all the way to applying or a building permit and calling a hapless Engineer to draw construction plans, after he has ripped your foundation out with tarps over the trench. With your money in his hands he will use any opportunity to convince you to keep going on with more work. He will even try to get you to give him more money with a Permit based on a construction drawing with the wrong details with a notice from the City authorities ordering correction of the errors he made in your basement, this guy is one mighty fraud. He claims to have worked for real construction outfits and he will give you previous job references at homes whose job was done without a permit, so all you have is the homeowner's word and some pictures, but nobody knows what is under the dirt besides him.
He claims 10 year warranty but there is no address on the contract, just a cell phone number. Do not bother with his BBB listing, nothing public. The report I filed on him can be seen at <https://sask.app.bbb.org/complaint/view/1025006/c/z4nw2b>
At the very end I fired him and he came to the house with police to take away his tools after he told the police that his worker was assaulted at my house. One Mighty Chicken! never arranged to return the money and he is still in town ripping people off. He has been summoned to the Small Claims Court.

Despite what the "owner" say's here, the origonal complaint is very similar to what I went through with Mr Aubin After promising to leave the yard the way it was and completing the project in a proper way Trying to contact Mr Aubin after the job was "completed to his satisfaction" he was almost impossible to contact and the last contact I had with him was when he politely told me to "F" off! The job was not done properly and I had to hire a different company to come in, dig my foundation up and do the job properly. They also told me they love to have Mr Aubin around because he generates work for their company as all his jibs appear to have to be redone. Complaint was logged with the BBB. While it cost me money to deal with this incompetent individual, I am glad he moved back to Saskatchewan. His presence around here is not wanted

In response to the allegations made by the individual who wrote the comment, I had cancelled his contract because he was constantly harassing my employees and wouldn't stay out of the construction area. He tried to have me sign a document to gain control of my employees, which was completely inappropriate and one of the main reasons I cancelled the contract to which we had entered. He volunteered the fact that he had been in a Turkish prison and even went so far as to brag about that event in his life. Additionally, he bragged about being fired from every single job for which he had been employed since moving to Canada, for the last twenty years. He only paid the deposit (30%) and we finished half the job (50%). He pushed one of my employees, and that was the last straw. It was necessary to call the local police in order to regain my possessions.
If anyone would like references of satisfied clients for whom Mighty Joe's has completed projects or has any questions regarding this please do not hesitate to call Joey from Mighty Joe's contracting at 880-8101.
