Crooks. Absolutely run. Not only did they take our money and run, they did not pay the subcontractors who did the portion of the job that actually got completed. Even though we had paid MWR, they never paid the subs who put a lien on our home and NINE OTHER HOMES AT THE SAME TIME for the same reason. Mark, Bill and everyone else is full of promises that they never fulfill and will absolutely scam you out of your money and you'll never hear from them again. Absolutely do not work with them.

Midwest Restorations did a great job fixing my roof after a storm hit. They were very friendly and helpful with the questions I had. My roof was completed very fast and it looks amazing! I couldn't be happier, I will be recommending them to my friends.

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. I don't know how anyone gives them any stars or recommendations. If you search the name Mark Schneidewind - the owner - you find all of the negative reviews and information as to how he is taking money and not completing work.
Working with the company has been a nightmare since we signed the contract. Siding work is horrible - things were not installed correctly or omitted all together. We've had to replace items ourselves. When going to have the house finished - we found that they did not put the flashing under the siding as needed for our stone to be installed. The only way to fix it is to pop the siding up - which has already been caulked - and hope that it doesn't crack the siding or the caulking.
The siding spacing is all off. It is not consistent at all!!!
We signed our contract and paid in full, but once we finally were sick of not getting a response to fix siding before they painted - we fired them. Of course we had services that we had already paid for - and Mark will not pay us back. Caulking is one of them.
ALSO - please not that he did pay us back a deposit - after SEVERAL attempts to get a response from him we finally just showed up at his office. HE WOULD NOT EVEN COME OUT OF HIS OFFICE TO TALK! MADE HIS SECRETARY CALL HIM AND BE THE MIDDLE MAN TO TALK TO MY HUSBAND. He wrote us a bad check. When we found out that it had bounced - of course our bank charged us for it - we got the original check back and the bank that he wrote the check from is NO WHERE AROUND HERE. So you cannot go to cash it. After talking to the secretary again - she assured us that the money was in the back - but guess what, IT BOUNCED AGAIN!!!
I just don't get how someone like this is still in business.
NO MATTER WHAT YOU READ FOR GOOD COMMENTS ABOVE I WOULD GO TO THE BBB WEBSITE AND LOOK MIDWEST RESTORATIONS. Don't be fooled - I am sure those 5 or 4 star comments above are comments he posts himself to make it look good.

Here are just a few of the articles I found when searching his name. You can also search for Mark Schneidewind. He has changed up the name of his company - also known as MWR and I believe his significant other had a company name Dollhouse. Which has also been banned. Her name is Susan Cuthill.

By Chris A.August 31, 2020Replace roof, siding and gutters$9,000
They must be making their own fake reviews if there is more than 1 star here. They are storm chasers who take money and run. Just as others have complained, they replaced my roof but I never got my siding and gutters replaced that they were paid for. It’s not just Kansas they were banned from. They’ve had issues in MO and IA too, operating under other business names and moving on. Extremely untrustworthy. Please use your time and money on a deserving and honest company. Susan and Mark are nightmares.

Great company very knowledgable about the insurance siding of the roofing business. My roof was denied by insurance after hiring midwest job was approved threw my insurance company. Built my roof all for no money out of pocket. Great company.

By Anne B.June 24, 2020Tiles were bowing in master bath shower. Hired them to investigate why and fix.
Do not hire this company. You will be sorry. I was. Once they are paid you will get nothing more from them but empty promises they never deliver on. They will tell you they will come back to fix the issue but never follow thru. They lie and cannot be trusted, Mark (owner) and Matt included. I was left with a problem they did not fix and no refund. They do not care about the customer. Now I have to hire someone else to do the work they were supposed to do. Please make sure you read reviews before you hire anyone. That I did not do and now I am paying for it.
I will update the site if I ever get a refund on the work that was not done. Stay tuned. Don't hold your breath.

Great local business that’s been around for years and will be around for years to come. Definitely give Midwest restoration a call if you want a siding or roofing project completed by capable hard working people!

Do NOT use this company. They do the minimum work to get their check. Once they are paid you will never be able to reach them again. We have a leak in the roof and the owner, Mark Schneidewind, actually told me that it is normal for them to leak if there is a heavy rain with driving winds. Now they will not answer my calls or return my messages. We are stuck with a leaking roof. THIS COMPANY DOES NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR WORK.
They also operate under Midwest Restoration, and Dollhouse Inc. Mark Schneidewind, the owner, also uses the alias Mark Wagner. I recently found out the have been banned from doing business in the state of Kansas. Do your research before using this company! Also look up Susan Cuthill, she is part owner of this company too. She is just as culpable as Mark Schneidewind. -

No I would never reccommend them to anyone. They are a company that chases storms. They drove in my driveway after storms in our area and instead of hiring someone local I gave them a chance. My storm damage was over 40,000. Of course they wanted to start with the roofs on all my buildings which was the big money maker. After the roofs were done I was told there was no money left to do things like the siding and the gutters that they had already been paid out for by the insurance company. I finally took them to small claims court and actually one the case. The next thing was to try and collect the money owed me. It was a no go. They know all the tricks. They have no business account, just personal bank accounts and so you can not get money from them. You cannot file against a personal account when it was the business that wronged you. So here I sit with a $4000 judgement that can never be collected. Do not hire this company anyone. After they have collected their money they will no longer answer phone calls or come back to fix their work. My folks and I both fell into this and have regretted it ever since. You may think you are getting a good deal but you will get what you pay for.

By LuMay 23, 2018roof house
I would never recommend MWR to anyone. My parents are still trying to recover money from the lightening rods that MWR replaced after roofing their house in 2016. This is 2018. When they took the rods off they replaced them by crossing the wires and putting staples and nails directly through the cable. We were told for two years that they would be out to fix them. And never showed up. All calls went unanswered. Finally a couple weeks ago. They said they were going to close this claim and said they would send us out a check. They sent it to the wrong man who had the same name as my dad in another town. Of course this man cashed the check. And now they are saying we did it. What a load of crap. This company is so full of it.

By Maria B.March 27, 2018Roof & gutters
I wish I was able to give negative stars! This has been the biggest nightmare of my life! I have been working with this "company" since Aug 2017 and my work is still not done. They put a roof on but it is still leaking in the same spot that they were hired to fix in the first place. They have collected every check told my insurance company the job was completed. Was paid for my gutters those are not done my gate was broken down to get into my back yard my air conditioner unit was caked full of old roofing material the model car engine in my garage was also just covered! I am so unhappy and cannot get a call back! I am a new home owner 27 years old with 5 children 3 adopted foster and am at a loss! My fault for not doing my research I know, but I still cannot help but to breakdown and cry!

Poor Communication, Damaged Property, and Incomplete Work
I deeply regret hiring this roofing company. My experience mirrors the numerous negative reviews I've since discovered about their questionable business practices and project abandonment.
After making my deposit in October, I waited over four weeks with zero communication about when they would start the roof installation. My voicemails went unanswered, leaving me in the dark about the project's status. The lack of response and mounting evidence of similar complaints from other customers led me to contact my bank about the charge.
Out of the blue one day I return home after work to find my roof has been removed, an left it that way for a full week. Their crew carelessly handled my property, damaging my Traeger grill by breaking the front leg and the hopper. Even worse, their sloppy cleanup left roofing nails scattered around my property, resulting in two separate tire repairs.
I strongly advise potential customers to look elsewhere for their roofing needs. The combination of poor communication, property damage, and unprofessional conduct makes this company impossible to recommend.
