"We first met Micky at an open house. We went in only because, from the outside the house looked different from every other house we'd seen in the past 2 years. Upon walking through the front door, we knew we'd found our answer. While we did not buy that particular house, we broke ground on our Dream Builders custom home in June. Micky worked closely with us from beginning to end. We spent a great deal of time discussing exactly what we were looking for and what was important to us, so that we could narrow it down to a vision. Micky's connection to some of the best in the construction business (framers, painter, trim and cabinet maker) allowed that vision to come to fruition WITHIN OUR PRICE RANGE!
Micky clearly loves to build houses. He does the job with the enthusiasm of a hobby, yet his dedication is relentless. As first time home builders, we had plenty of questions and confusion. He patiently guided us through the process with honesty, accountability and constant availability. Because of this, I believe we were able to build exactly what we wanted, at a much higher level of quality than we expected, and without once going over our original budget. In fact, we were able to come out below budget! It is not enough to simply say that we highly recommend his services. Looking back, there is not one thing I would have changed about the process. We are truly honored to have worked with him."

"I
have had the pleasure of working with Mick on several of his residential
construction projects. The quality of his work has been excellent
in our experience. From a bank's perpective, we have not had to
worry about cost overruns or deviations from the planned draw schedule.
His timeliness and attention to detail helps to ensure that projects
move forward without interruption.When working with potential customers that have not already selected a builder, we would always give a recommendation to meet with Mick and his staff at Dream Builders.
Sincerely,
