**★★★★★ — Kelly Lahti, Aug. 2013**

> M.E.L. Construction built my house.  It turned out beautiful and was just what I wanted.  The house was built on schedule, even a little early!  The project bid was exactly what we ended up paying - no hidden costs.  I would definitely hire M.E.L. Construction again!
