What a Fern Creek homeowner stands to lose on one job, and what public records show about Thaddeus Major (@thadmajor) and MC Construction.
Get My Fern Creek QuotePrice a normal Fern Creek job and the number gets big in a hurry. A two car driveway on these lots runs about $7,000 to $12,000. A kitchen taken back to the studs can pass $35,000. Most crews ask for a third of that before a single truck shows up, so $3,000 to $10,000 leaves your account on day one. That is the real question here. It is not what the bid says. It is who you can go after if the money walks. In Kentucky that trail starts with a license number, and we could not turn one up for MC Construction. Anyone comparing bids on concrete and driveways should run that search before signing.
Kentucky has no single statewide card for general remodeling work, so plenty of crews carry no number at all. Plumbing, electrical, and HVAC are different. Those trades are licensed by name, and the state will confirm a number over the phone. The gap matters after something goes wrong. A licensed and bonded outfit leaves you a claim you can file. An unlicensed one leaves you a cell number that may stop ringing.

Look up the trade board for plumbing, electrical, or HVAC and search the person's legal name. Then call the Jefferson County permit office and ask what has been pulled under that name. Both checks are free and take about ten minutes.
Save every text, receipt, and promised date in one folder. Ask for a written finish date. If nothing moves, file a complaint with the Kentucky Attorney General consumer protection office and speak to a lawyer before you send another dollar.
Ask for three things on paper: a license number, a bond, and a current insurance certificate. Then call the issuer yourself and confirm all three. A crew that will not hand them over has already told you what you needed to know.
