William Mcclay Contracting

William McClay owner of McClay contracting was the worst experience dealing with a contractor anyone could have had. Only writing this so others can avoid the same mistake. Seemed very honest at first and very straight forward. Once money is in hand and work begins completely different experience. Work was not completed timely and would ask for next payment on project even when he was not finished with the part of the build. Never brought in skilled professional workers to work on job always him and a labor or two. Job site aka my home was left in shambles with trash and building materials all around. Work was sub par with the lack of craftsman ship everything was rushed. Corners were cut with material and left job with items incomplete or had to be done by another contractor. During build roof was left with no covering to protect building and untreated wood to the elements. Please avoid this contractor at all cost.

The owner William McClay was very personable and nice at first. He was hired to repair my front steps (all brick) and to repair a wobbly railing. William required a check or cash payment, which should have been a red flag. Once he had the payment he began to dodge my calls and left the work incomplete. I had to stop payment on the check to get him to complete the work. The final project left me with mortar smeared all across the steps and walkway and a railing that still is not secured. I would not hire this vendor again this was a terrible experience.
