Updated May 2019to add: Have had to hire a structure engineer because the joists and trusses were not inspected prior to sheeting. TWP will not pass the inspection. OP: Been almost a year since garage was contracted. Garage is still not done. Legally terminated contract and finishing ourselves. Empty promises and failed excuses is what you will experience with this company. So disappointed after the wonderful experience with the salesman.

The worst. The salesman, Dave, quit right after I signed on. they took my deposit money - we went back-and-forth with design and when design was approved finally he said he went to get a permit. A permit was never pulled. Steve, the owner, ever even applied for it. Finally fired them after I called the township and they said that nothing had been done regarding permit for my project. All these bad reviews seem to be in the last few weeks/months.

And a friend of mine fired him and hired someone else to finish her project. I can only imagine the reviews that aren't getting posted. This is the first time I'm posting a bad review about anyone. Always excuses. His (owner Steve VanDalen's) daughter was sick. He's out of town. He's getting a big check. Said he would get my money back. Said he's not going to swindle me. I worked so hard for that money and now I've lost the money and getting nothing out of it.

Can't get anyone to answer any phone. Barely emails. Only returns texts sometimes. I heard he's going bankrupt. I will never get my money back, I fear. Who wants to start a lawsuit? I can spearhead it.

Stay away! This company stole our money and never did a lick of work. Steve is a piece of garbage with nothing to offer but excuses. If you even think of using Miller Garage, you have been warned. If anyone else on here wants to start a torch and pitchfork campaign, i'm in.

I don't understand how what Steve is doing is not criminal. I had the same situation dealing with Steve and Miller Garages as it seems everyone else. Signed contract 5/30/2018 to build a garage, took my deposit, and then excuses upon excuses. At this point I doubt anyone is going to be able to get their money back, but if anyone is suing or trying to prosecute, I would participate.
