Get My Prospect QuotePut this operator side by side with a licensed Prospect firm and the difference is easy to see. The licensed firm has a number you can look up, a bond, an insurance certificate, and a state office that will take your complaint. Thaddeus Major has a truck and a phone number. That is the whole file. When a licensed builder cracks a slab or floods a basement, somebody has to answer for it in writing. When this one does, the phone simply stops being answered. Read the warning signs here, then compare them with what a real custom kitchen remodeling contract looks like.
Big houses mean big deposits, and that is exactly why this name keeps coming up in Prospect. The story repeats itself. Cabinets get torn out, a check clears, and the crew thins to one worker, then to nobody. A licensed shop draws payment against work that a permit inspector has already signed off. Nothing here works that way, so the money leaves first and the risk stays with you.

A real firm hands the number over in seconds. A stall, a joke, or a change of subject tells you what you need to know.
No. A licensed builder orders materials first and bills in steps as work passes inspection. A large cash deposit on day one is the pattern behind most of the complaints tied to this name. Hold your money and get a second bid.
Pull together the texts, receipts, and photos from the Prospect job before anything gets deleted. File a report with your county attorney and with the Kentucky Attorney General consumer line. Call your bank or card issuer that same week, because the window for disputing a payment is short.
