**★★★★★ — Kate Roos Design LLC, March 2023**

> We partnered with Mitch on a recent kitchen remodel and the results are amazing! His attention to detail is exactly what we are looking for in a contractor and he made the process seamless. In addition, he couldn't be  nicer and he had a great sense of humor. We are excited to partner with him again!

## Selected projects

- [South Minneapolis Bath](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/south-minneapolis-bath-pj-vj~7171105)

  - Description: It was time for a shag upgrade as this home pass from a long-time owner to a new energetic family. Mitlyng Design called for the integration of the underused hall closet into a new bathroom design. This required a total gut of the spaces, and reworking of the plumbing. Not seen in the photos is a small linen closet adjacent to the shower. This was a seamless add to a beautiful traditional lakes area home.
