I'm writing this review in response to work I had done several years ago. This was, by far, the…read moreworst experience I've ever had with a contractor. I had a sunroom redone -- new floor, new support posts, ceiling, lighting, etc. During the entire process, Bob was extremely unpleasant, to put it mildly. That would be fine, if the work was done well. It most certainly was not. The floor was a complete disaster. A wide plank floor with gaps up to 1/8" in between planks. A sanding and stain job that looked like it was done by someone who's never installed a floor before. Sanding circles all over the floor and bubbles in the poly virtually everywhere. The ceiling planks weren't installed properly and separated and cracked just days after install. The drywall repair was done horribly, the mud wasn't sanded properly and they painted over everything before it dried. To top it all off, they initially put in the wrong supports under the sunroom, only to replace them with the "proper" ones that they decided to cut too short, causing the entire room to separate from the house by about 1/4". For you own sake, if you're reading this review please stay away from these clowns.

After going to Home Depot first where I couldn't get any help and didn't find anything I liked that wasn't super expensive, this was a breath of fresh air. We ended up getting some additional samples mailed to me from Mohawk which came right away and I was able to find a great carpet in my budget. I really liked the displays for the carpet and it was easy to be able to review options and colors. You can check out samples to bring home for free. I felt that they had really high quality carpeting in reasonable price points. Compared to what I saw in the same price range at Home Depot it was very nice. And I had real customer service. The employees that helped me were really nice, really helpful, and really tried to make sure I got everything I needed. I got a quote over email, reviewed and signed it. So I knew exactly the price of everything. Very happy to support a local business. I will be coming here again soon for my future carpet and countertop needs.

One example is I had an issue with my jacuzzi tub in that if anything went wrong mechanically I wouldn't be able to fix it without breaking down the wall my neighbors and I share. Everett was able to come up with a solution so that I can get to the motor without any hassle. Everett knew this was my only bathroom to shower in and he had the project done in 1.5 weeks! I thought I was going to have to live in a hotel for a month or so! Everett and his workers were very thorough, respectful (wore masks the whole time in a room without air conditioning), efficient, and clean. Even though it wasn't a huge project Everett treated it like it was, which I appreciated. His costs were very reasonable too despite the increase in materials these days. I look forward to having him do other renovations this summer! I highly recommend Mitchell Design & Construction for any home projects.

I had trouble finding a contractor due to demand with Covid. Whatever you do, don't do what I did!…read more Do not enter any contract with Everett Mitchell Design and Construction! Everett Mitchell, like other reviewers say, seemed reasonable and personable UNTIL the contract was signed. Then the nightmare began. I became physically ill from my interactions with him. Work started Oct. 1. He knew I lived out of state! He knew his project had to be completed before my contract with a siding company could start! It's Oct and siding needed to be completed before Thanksgiving. First invoice demanded payment within 24 hours and said I had to sign and signature meant happy with work. Also, contract did not follow the payment schedule required by MA law - he received payments before the law says he could charge for it. Within the first few days of starting work, he had a 20% increase in the costs of an already expensive project i.e. "extra work orders." I think he knew that this additional work would be needed and deliberately did not include it in the contract. I had no choice. Then because I did not send the additional 20% check overnight he stopped work for 5 days and I did not know if he would return until 10:30 the day he returned. No work being done, construction all over the front yard, the tenants using the back door...5 days! When he changed how the work would be done because of errors caused by his inability to understand the work required (2 half posts against the house were not constructed) and the design had to be changed, I accepted that a lot less work to be done. Frankly, I would have preferred that he complete the work as stated in the contract, but at this point, 2 weeks in, I could not wait for him to be gone! I asked for the credit to be determined immediately , like he asked for extra work order and checks within 24 hours. He said credits would be calculated at the end of the project! Well, it was Everett's way or no way - the credits he provided during his "final contract audit" were, as he would say, a "joke". Everett Mitchell has no employees - everyone was a subcontractor. The only reason the project looks good is because of the skills of the carpentry subcontractor he hired. I had discussed at length that he was planning for more steps than needed to the porch - he charged me for 6 - turned out to be only 3! When I asked him how the walkway would be constructed, I found out that he had not taken into account the slope and sent him calculations showing a step would be needed to have a flat and safe walkway. Well, he demanded a change order and more money to make the walkway safe. At this point I was not going to give him any more money. So he built an unsafe walkway from the porch to the sidewalk with a dangerous slope in winter. He was constantly telling me how wonderful he is and how I was so lucky to have him to do the work. I should be "grateful." With the final contract "audit", when I was supposed to get credits, the credits were ridiculously low. I think the credits for work not completed were much more money than the small payment that he had scheduled at the end (less than $2000.) I agreed to send him more money, but not the amount he requested which was $3,500 !?! I had spent 3 hours writing up my explanation of the amount of money I was willing to pay to get this behind me - his response that it was a "joke." Then he told me he had not paid the mason (note another reviewer said the same thing.) Property owners have to pay subcontractors when contractors do not. He also said he'd put a LIEN on my property. I became so stressed that I began to become physically sick whenever I interacted with him. It was always "his" way and you are expected to be grateful. I was way out of his league. And, the sad thing is, he knows what he is doing, it is deliberate and he is happy to do it! Apparently he has been able to get away with it. Don't become the next victim! I do not recommend that you hire Everett Mitchell Design & Construction.

After WE did the research we found out that the plumbers did not use the correct clamping tool for the pek lines. When brought to the plumbers attention (Chuck's brother Dave) he was unaware that a specific clamping tool was needed! How is that even possible? We ultimately hired a different plumber to resolve the issue (yes, WE had to pay to correct our builders mistake). Next was the heating system, again Chuck's brother Dave (CJM Plumbers). Another issue WE had to pay another HVAC person to correct. Wrong placement of system to cover the second floor. We had to add a third system to adequately heat the second floor. Fast forward to today, we decided to add crown moldings, wainscoting and change paint colors. Dark colors are not forgiving to wall errors like lighter paints. Low and behold what do we see, tons of screws that were not "sunk" in the wall board as they should have been, not to mention literal "waves" in the walls that should never have been. Don't tell me that Chuck and Brian did not notice this, they were just happy that we did not before our warranty expired. If you are looking for a "quality" builder that uses quality subcontractors, keep looking.
