Mike Paul Foundations Inc describes itself on its BBB page as a residential and light commercial concrete contractor that provides concrete foundations, walls, frost walls and floors. Its website offers to come look at the foundation of a house someone is buying or living in for $250, refunded if the company is hired for the work, and the company says it has been in business for 30 years. A 2025 customer said they had used Mike Paul Foundations for almost 30 years and that Mike had helped them on more than 200 foundations. A 2025 customer said Mike Paul does what he says he is going to do and called his crew efficient and experienced. A 2025 customer wrote that the company started their foundation project in 2024 but never completed it, though they paid the invoice the day the first phase was finished, and that they were left with a half-finished project without a slab. Its BBB page shows a B- grade and one complaint. A recent reviewer wrote that one of his drivers screamed homophobic slurs at people from a work vehicle.
“Paul has owned Mike Paul Foundations since 1997 and last year opened Slyders, a seasonal burger joint in Old Orchard Beach.”
One of his drivers screamed homophobic slurs at people from his work vehicle. Highly unprofessional
I have used Mike Paul Foundations for almost 30 years. He has helped me on more than 200 foundations. Mike gets it done and cares about the product he delivers.
Mike Paul does what he says he is going to do. His crew is efficient and experienced. If you ever have an issue, give him the opportunity, he will make it right.
WARNING - I do NOT recommend MIKE PAUL FOUNDATIONS. They started my foundation project last October (2024) but NEVER COMPLETED IT even though I paid his invoice the day the first phase was finished! Mike has given me EVERY EXCUSE IN THE BOOK and I was being very accommodating but I'm now stuck with a HALF-FINISHED FOUNDATION PROJECT without a slab!
