About us

Each and every time I start a job, I realize that it is personal. I am entering into a client’s home to make changes that will enhance their every day life, and this is personal. Each client’s needs are different. When a client enters into a relationship with my company, I attempt to get involved with who they are and what their needs and expectations are. I can build simple and I can build complex and/or intricate; it all depends on the client’s needs. Most projects are a mixture of both. Either way, I deliver a product that is built to last. My name is attached to each project I work on and I want to make it right We do everything we can to get it right the first time. My biggest responsibility is to help you make the correct choices by relying on qualified professionals (architects, designers, engineers, and talented creative trades people) that excel at what they do. I also ensure that the actual construction process is as smooth and as clean as possible with the least amount of inconvenience to you and your family. I believe that good communication is key to a successful project. We (my associates and I) will help you to create a home that looks right, feels right, and works right. My company has been licensed and bonded since 1992. I “cut my teeth” in this business installing doors and windows along with finish carpentry (trim moldings such as casing, baseboard, and crown moldings). From a finish carpenter’s point of view I like to bring a detail-oriented eye to each and every project that we complete. •Kitchens •Baths •Doors and Windows •Major and minor remodels •Stone and tile •Finish carpentry •Painting and Faux finishing •Pools and spas •Stone •Driveways •Hardscape •Landscape •Decking and Trellises •Retaining walls

This project went very smooth and came in under budget. The sub-contractors Mr. Mitchell used were very reliable, punctual, and courteous. Because I live in a small house with only one bathroom and I am handicapped it was imperative that the coordination of the project be done with minimal disruption. All phases of the remodel were done with my comfort and convenience in mind.. The entire project, from demo to conclusion, was done in three weeks and came in approximately $2000 under budget.
Description of Work: I used Jay Mitchell General Contractor for the second time in 2 years for a major remodel project. This project was a bathroom remodel to provide me with better handicap accessibility. It involved relocating the toilet, building a shower to allow wheelchair access, widening the doors, raising counter heights, changing and upgrading all electrical outlets and fixtures, and installing grab bars throughout.

The entire project went very smoothly and came in under budget. The sub-contractors used on this project were reliable, punctual, and courteous. I live in a small Spanish style home built in the 1920's with only 1 bathroom. I am handicapped (handicapable) and it was imperative that the project be done with minimal disruption. The coordination of this remodel with my comfort and convenience in mind was Mr. Mitchell's foremost concern and he accomplished this remarkably well. This entire project, from demo to conclusion, was done in approximately 2 weeks and $2000 under budget.

My overall rating would be A+. I have used Jay Mitchell on 2 other occasions and would recommend him highly.
Description of Work: My Spanish-style home was built in 1922 and was in need of a general upgrade and face lift. I hired Jay Mitchell to oversee this project . The project involved complete electrical upgrades, new copper plumbing, new roof, new windows and doors, new insulation, new exterior plaster, new front veranda with unique stone work, and re-landscaping front and rear. I cannot be any happier with Mr. Mitchell and the services he performed. All work from all his sub-contractors was excellent. The project was completed on time and definitely within budget.

It was a very good price and work. Nothing about this process that wasn't fantastic. The work could not have been better. It was perfect. The work came in right at the estimated price and on time. I've had serveral remodelling jobs, and this was the best I've ever had. Fantastic. A++ in all categories.
Description of Work: Estimate and work. Remodelled bathroom. Installed new windows and doors. Installed a skylight. Performed crown molding.

I would highly recommend Jay and would use him for future projects. He will be the first person I call.
Description of Work: Jay provided valuable information on the replacement and installation of windows in my 1920's house in California, USA. He was knowledgeable and gave his input and advice on the windows project as well as other work I was having done. His feedback allowed me to evaluate other bids I had received and he gave me ideas on projects I was doing myself (painting and refinishing floors). He was honest and recommended a cost effective solution which did not involve his services. I respect that Jay had the integrity to steer me in the right direction even though it meant he didn't receive any business. He freely shared his experience and expert knowledge. I would certainly use Jay if I had another project and would recommend him highly!
