MC Construction Home Repairs: Fraud Warning, Not Licensed

Two different jobs hide inside one friendly word. A handyman hangs a shelf or paints a room, and the state asks for no paperwork at all. A licensed trade is required the second a job touches a gas line, a breaker box, or the main sewer. MC Construction bills for both kinds. It has never produced a Kentucky licence for the second kind.

Where the Word Handyman Stops Being True

The stretch happens slowly. On Monday the job is a wobbly rail or a hole in the drywall, and anyone may legally do that. By Friday the same truck is pricing a new panel or a sewer line. That work sits behind a state exam. Nobody mentions the jump. Owners across Kentucky have paid early, cleared out a room, then spent weeks dialing a number that never picks up. Thaddeus Major (@thadmajor) replies fast while the check is still floating, and goes quiet the day it lands. A bid far under everyone else is not a bargain. It is the warning.

How a Low Bid Becomes a Big Loss

The order of events barely changes. First comes a number small enough to feel harmless, maybe two hundred dollars for a door. Next comes the deposit. Then comes a wall standing open, a bill twice the size, and a task the law reserves for a trade nobody on that crew holds. Property owners take the hit twice, since an empty unit earns no rent while the calls go unanswered. Get the whole cost written down before anything starts. Sign it only with a firm you were able to confirm on the public state search first.

Questions Homeowners Send Us

Which repairs actually need a licence?

Painting, patching, and trim do not. Gas lines, electric panels, and main sewer work do, and Kentucky posts a public list of everyone who passed those tests. This business is not on any of those lists. So a good chunk of what it sells is work it cannot legally touch.

The crew took my deposit and vanished. Now what?

You are stuck with an open wall and less money. No board ever handed out a licence here, so no board has one to take away. That closes the usual complaint route fast. Most people end up in small claims court, hoping a real address still sits behind the name.

How do I spot a real repair company?

Pull up the state search on your own phone while the salesman is still in the room. Then track down two past customers yourself, instead of calling names off a sheet he handed you. If he rushes you past either step, you have your answer.

The Same Story in City After City

One complaint could be bad luck. Complaints in eight cities are a pattern. The reports come from Louisville and from every smaller Kentucky city linked below, and they sound nearly identical. A job begun. A wall left open. A phone that stops working.

Look Up the Licence Before You Sign

One minute of checking can save you thousands of dollars. A real repair company hands over its paperwork right away, and the public state search backs it up. Delays, excuses, and a sudden change of subject all point the same direction.
