I can't recommend him.  In fact it turned into a very bad experience.  It was a nine week project that he dragged to 18weeks (a fair chunk of this time he appeared to be working backwards, making mistakes that had to be undone).  And then he essentially abandoned the project without completing the contracted work.  A month later when he couldn?t say what was left to do I had to fire him.   
He seemed to do ok with the framing part.  He had poor communication with the subcontractors he brought in.  Several times things had to be undone, payments and permitting were snafu?ed.  Mike took on the tiling himself which was a mistake. 
Multiple mistakes, shortcuts, delays and poor quality finishes.  Basically the tile work was DIY quality. 
His plumber was good but his electrician I would not recommend due to multiple things that needed to be undone.  Hire your own subcontractors, I would recommend the plumber from this job and the HVAC guy I brought in. 
Mike?s professionalism was an example of what you never want to have to deal with.  It just got worse and worse.  The accounting and bookkeeping just weren?t professional.  His control of the job became incompetent.  He starts off talking the talk but he just wasn?t able to walk the walk.  This medium scope, not high-end project was over his head.  In my opinion, if you
have a smaller framing project that doesn?t involve subs or finish work, he might be able to deal with that if it is short term.

He remodeled our bathroom 7 years ago and my brother does cabinetry work and when he walked into my home, he instantly complimented his work. He most recently fixed the ceiling of our garage, which was damaged by Sandy. He put up drywall and came back to seal it later. He put insulation in there as well and went above and beyond. Everything he's done has been excellent. He cleans up well and everything he does is beautiful.

.Demolition was perfect, kitchen remodeling went extremely well. Michael Mitchell Sr. was meticulous, reliable, dependable, hard working with strong work-ethic even when the ceilings and wall/floor were not originally constructed as square 51 years ago. Additionally,three new fiberglass/wood doors installed from kitchen to backyard; front, and side doors were installed as well as new storm doors.
Owner/proprietor of Better Business and Remodlers is professional, perfectionistic, and made our kitchen look gorgeous! Due to original construction of our home, there were several issues, but never with BBR's workmanship or kraftmanship. We would highly recommend Mike Mitchell Sr. and BBR to anyone seeking a quality end product!
The project took a little longer than originally anticipated, but the quality was excellent. Four or Five Stars for BBR and Mike Mitchell Sr. He called when he was delayed, was committed to our kitchen remodel, and when the weather is warmer will stain our fiberglass/wood doors.

It was wonderful and he did excellent work. I would definitely have him back in our home if needed. He was very professional and I was very pleased with his work.
