“We wanted to express our thanks to you and the entire team at Mitchell & Best Next Door. From the first meeting when we looked at the site, through demolition, construction and post construction follow-up, your organization was thorough, professional and patient. We would highly recommend Mitchell & Best Next Door to anyone looking to build a new home. Thank you and your team for making our dream a reality.”

Bert & Pam D.

“The employees are the best thing about Mitchell & Best! From sales to project management, they are top notch caring people who strive to meet our needs. No question or concern is ever too much for them, even after this year, they stand ready and more than willing to help. We love this house, and we have all the confidence that we own one of the highest quality built homes in our neighborhood.”

Robert & Ruth M.

“We wanted to thank M&B Next Door so very much for all they did in building our home. The team listened to us talk about our dreams of having a home built on our land and made us feel so comfortable we set up our first official meeting right away. Our Construction Manager, Billy Neeb, was tremendous in every aspect of building our home, treating it as if it were his own and even exceeding the timeline we asked for. Our sales associate was extremely helpful when it came to picking the best options for our home. Her patience was invaluable, even accommodating to changes we asked for during construction. Thank you Mitchell & Best Next Door for making our dreams come true!”

Craig & Addie P.

“Without a doubt our best house purchasing and construction experience in 40 years and eight projects (seven of them new build). If we could rate the project superintendent higher than excellent we would!”

John & Margaret S.

“We are so very happy with how everything turned out. We always knew we had a quality home purchasing from Mitchell and Best, but now with the use of MB Remodeling to update the exterior to our personal aesthetic, we have been able to make it truly ours and we can’t thank you enough. We also want to make sure you know how much we appreciated your kindness, courtesy and professionalism. Your commitment to understanding our very specific vision and always being available to come out in person to make sure everything was just right, no matter how big or small, was an especially exceptional part of this renovation experience. Thank you so very much….it feels like a brand new home!”

Verelyn & Sean.
