View all 15 complaintsMiken Construction - Non-Payment
I was hired to do a follow up inspection on 1 of their properties under their management. This inspection was to ensure a previous contractor had performed all the work that they had requested. I took over 70 pictures. They put a deadline on this inspection which was done within the time required. I submitted all required paperwork on time. It has been 30 days and no payment. They sent me an email stating that they do a check run every week. They supposedly pay the next week. I have emailed the project manager with numerous excuses as to following up on payment ir: Holiday Party, he will have to get with the accounting dept, etc, etc... Still no response
Beware all Contractors... Do Your Due Diligence and research this company before you decide... Numerous Complaints.etc.
Miken Construction - Theft of Services
THEY DO NOT PAY! They lie to you and give you a different story each time you speak to someone...when they answer the phone.
THEY ARE UNPROFESSIONAL! AN EMBARASSMENT TO OUR INDUSTRY! NO ONE TAKES OWNERSHIP!
Do not work for them. Contact the California State Attorney General and file a complaint.
I was a vendor for Miken Construction for over 5 years, working closely with each of their project managers. I always found them to have a high level of professionalism and effective communication, making each transaction a smooth one. From upper management on down, they're a solid and efficient organization.
I have been an employee at Miken Construction for over 2 years and it has been a great learning experience. The employees all so nice and helpful. Miken always tries to be fair with their contractors.
I did multiple inspections on REO properties for Miken Construction over a 2 year period 2012 thru 2013. They were always clear on what was required of me during inspections, I provided them what they asked for, and I was paid promptly, and as agreed. I never once had an issue of short pay. I did have issues on REDO' inspections with subcontractors that DID NOT DO what they had been contracted to do. My job on post repair inspections was to make sure the work had been done. Everyone wants to cut corners, and then expect to get paid. Do the job as you have claimed, and the payment is forthcoming immediately. I feel sorry for the employees, that have to sort thru all of the deadwood to find contractors that will perform as requested. I would gladly work for Miken Construction again.
I have been working for Miken Construction for over 8 years. So, I feel my comments are relevant in assessing the overall business practices of this company. First and foremost, I always get paid in a timely manner, usually on a two week schedule. Any issues related to pay are addressed quickly and to my satisfaction. As far as communication, there are times that I don't reach someone live but I always receive a call back promptly. The staff members I work with most frequently are extremely professional and helpful. It is unfortunate that others have had a negative experience. But, I am truly surprised because my exposure has been positive and very lucrative. On a side note, I have been a home builder for over 30 years and my crew is responsible for framing a significant number of houses each year. I am insulted by the comments regarding cheap labor and so on. I am a well respected laborer just trying to make a living in this tough economy.

I am a current employee for Miken. There are plenty of opportunities to move up and if you prove you are hard worker you can move up pretty fast. I started as a grass processor and within 1.5 years I was moved to a PM. The management staff is very helpful and in directing you in the correct direction. The employees are all very friendly and everyone gets along very well, great work environment. Field crews also are very nice and helpful with everything they can
As a former employee of Miken Construction, I have no regrets. I was hired as an Assistant PM and was quickly promoted to PM and then a Unit Manager. My boss at the time was great; she taught me a lot and gave me all the tools to be successful. When I first started with the company, I had one person under me, which was Nichole and even when the department grew I could always rely on her.
Working for any company is always going to have its ups and downs, but I have to say working at Miken there were more ups than downs and I think that is due to the people I worked with such as my boss, Danielle and co-workers like Nichole along with few others who are no longer with the company.
I have worked for Miken as a subcontractor for 3 years, they have always paid me the money I earned. Miken has always been fair and honest with me, but they expect quality work completed in a timely manner for their clients.

My company has worked with Miken Construction for 10+ years. We have always turned our jobs in on time and done our best to complete them in professional manner. I have never had a problem getting paid for our work. Sometimes being on different coast of the country it is hard to get answer as soon as you need them, but we have always gotten our answers. I have seen Miken grow and not be the family like business it started out to be. Yes we have dealt with snarky people, but they do not seem to last there long. And may I ask what company at some point and time does not have a jerk or two work for them? Ninety nine percent of the people I have dealt with were and are great. If I ever had a problem with someone that worked there I spoke with management. I also have to state when problems did arise Miken did have our back. I hope to continue a long working relationship with Miken.
Miken Construction. I contacted Miken directly when a contractor who "worked for them " failed to pay the final invoices totaling over $6000.00. This was just in September. Richard Reusegger said the so called contractor( Ken Dura of Duran and Associates) was paid before our job even ended. Since Ken will not pay and refuses to return repeated calls or emails, I am forced to lien the property. I informed Richard of this. He said send me the invoices and I will look into it right away. He, finally, after I emailed him, again, emailed back saying "Miken is no longer involved with the property in question. Since your contract was with Ken Duran, please contact him directly for payment resolution''.
It looks like everyone involved here is trying to pass the blame. Doesn't matter. They hired Ken, Ken hired us and they, including B of A are now going to have to deal with this. In the legal process. I guarantee the owner of the property and the banks are going to be unhappy. They definitely are to be NOT TUSTED!
I worked for Miken Construction for a few years as a processor, and ill tell u guys right now. DO NOT EVEN think about working for them. They are a WASTE of time, spend that extra time to look for soemthing better; there are tons of better companies to work for that will take care of you 10X better.
Miken Construction has the worst management by far, the worst would be a team lead called Justine Gazelle, she almost got tossed out the window by multiple employees that she would harrass daily.
STAY AWAY FROM MIKEN CONSTRUCTION. SCAM SCAM SCAM dont let the fake posts from company managers fool you!
As a former employee I can attest that this company is full of ###. I stopped working for these [censored]bags because they often had you lie or make something up in order to recieve payment. Their staff is trained to go about work orders as fast as possible so many details are overlooked. As a result many non payments are due to errors on the part of data processors and their management. Why do companies like this even exist ? They're middle men who do nothing but sit in a office all day and make up numbers out of thin air. The calculations are usually wrong. Many workers do not last very long there because they work you to the bone. It was funny looking into managements eyes. The lifelessness was astounding. Sane people should stay away all together. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH MIKEN CONSTRUCTION
