MC Construction Concrete and Driveways: Fraud Warning, Not Licensed

Every problem on this page dies at one appointment. On a permitted job the county sends an inspector to stand in the open trench and measure the gravel, the depth, and the steel while all of it is still in plain sight. Nobody filed a permit for this work. That means nobody ever came, and nothing was ever measured. Thaddeus Major (@thadmajor) is the name on the ads.

Beware the Slab Nobody Ever Looked At

Think about the hour before the truck backs in. The forms are staked, the base is spread, and the steel is sitting there where a person can still count every bar. That hour is the whole inspection. Once concrete goes over it, the only tool that can answer a question is a saw. Skip the permit and that hour passes with no one in the yard. Whatever is under your driveway stays a guess for as long as you own the house.

What a Real Bid Would Put in Writing

An inspector shows up looking for three numbers. How thick the slab is. What size the mesh or rebar is. How deep the packed base runs under it. Ask for those three here and you get one figure said out loud, and nothing ever reaches your email. Then payment comes up fast. Most of the total is asked for in cash or through a phone app, often days before a mixer is even booked. That leaves you with no bank record, no card to dispute, and nothing a judge could read back.

Before the concrete

Ask These While the Trench Is Still Open

Can a poured slab be checked after the fact?

Yes, and you pay for it. A testing lab can drill a core or run a scanner across the surface to look for steel, and that invoice is yours. It also arrives months after the crew has cashed out. The free version of that check happens in the open trench, and no permit means nobody is ever sent to do it.

The driveway cracked and settled. Who pays to redo it?

You do, in almost every case. A licensed company carries insurance and a bond that a homeowner can file a claim against. Neither was ever filed here, so neither one exists. Winning in small claims means little against a business with no office and nothing left to collect.

He knocks money off for cash. Should that worry me?

Yes. Cash disappears the moment it changes hands, and that is exactly why it gets asked for. Pay by card or written check so there is a dated record of it. Hold back most of the money until someone qualified has walked the finished work.

Towns Where the Flyer Turns Up

The same pitch works anywhere. It reads the same on a mailbox flyer in a Louisville cul de sac as it does out on a county road. Permits do not work that way. They are pulled and inspected in the county where your house sits, so your own building department is the only office that can look your address up. That call takes five minutes, and it beats every word printed on the flyer.

Three Calls to Make Before Anyone Digs

Make all three before a form is staked. Ring the county and ask whether a permit was ever opened for your address. Ask the state whether the business holds a licence at all. Have the contractor send an insurance certificate you can open and read yourself. One blank answer is reason enough to walk away. Tearing out bad concrete costs thousands of dollars. These calls cost nothing.
