Hear from our
satisfied clients

Kim Baxter / QCI

It was clear from the beginning that they were going to be a partner and not just someone we hired, and that played out from the moment we started. They were very responsive. We were a priority. It was clear they were devoted to what they do, and they were very intense in their attention to their project. That gave us a lot of confidence.

Scott Reardon / D3 Engineering

We chose to work with Mitchell because they felt most like us. They’re a small business and we’re a small business. They felt like they were the right size for us. The owners or leaders were on site to communicate with us.

Harvey Fleming / Arctic Glacier

We used Mitchell on a major renovation of our plant. The project was full of unknowns because its such an old building. They had to build walls and tear down other walls. There was a lot of engineering and some unforeseen issues, yet they were able to work through them in a timely fashion and stay within time frame and the budget.

Before: Temple Sinai - a beautiful, iconic structure - faced a challenge. Water damage weakened a major beam, compromising the integrity of its unique design and craftsmanship.
After: With careful attention to detail, our team removed the damaged beam and replaced it, expertly matching the original woodwork. Now, Temple Sinai stands strong and true to its original design, ready to inspire and serve for generations to come. #custommillwork #craftsman #iconicarchitecture #teamMDB
