**★ — HU-422731642, Aug. 2026**

> I would not recommend this contractor to anyone. No accountability, never on the job, unfinished projects, nothing up to code - we’ve spent thousands on plumbing and electrical repairs, in addition to other contractors to fix the cracked tiles, damaged floors, re grout and seal our bathrooms, etc. The list can go on! Save yourself the stress and money and find someone with real expertise, not a salesman that takes your deposit and can’t deliver!

**★★★★★ — ashesposito, April 2024**

> Amazing quality work from an honest, highly skilled team. We would hire them again in a second. We met with a bunch of contractors for our bathroom remodel and M2 was immediately the clear choice for us. Mike, the owner, is super skilled and knowledgable, very detail oriented, honest, kind, and was on site working on our job throughout the entire process. He uses the most up-to-date technology for bathroom construction/materials (Schluter systems), which we were unable to find with any other contractor. The tile work the team did is impeccable and came out so beautifully. We were given the option to order our tile, faucets, light fixtures, etc ourselves, which is exactly what we wanted - this allowed us a much wider range of options for design creativity, as well as the opportunity for us to save on some material costs while still maintaining a really high quality of both labor and materials. Mike was incredibly helpful with any questions we had throughout the entire process. The team was friendly and very respectful of our home while they were on site. They cleaned up well at the end of each day, allowing us to still live in our home while our renovation was ongoing. I couldn’t be happier with how our bathroom turned out - Mike and the M2 team literally made my dream bathroom vision come to life. 10/10, we highly recommend M2 Design!!!

**★ — HU-489410978, July 2023**

> I would not recommend this contractor to anyone. The workers show up when they want without notice or not at all. Workmanship only lasts a year, then you have to call another contractor to come in and fix all the mistakes. When you contact him he says everything is your fault.

**★★★★★ — Laura, March 2022**

> Mike and his team are top notch. They show up on time and work until the project is done. I had a 4 month renovation done and his guys were on time, worked hard and were very respectful to my family. This all starts from the top and Mike leads a great team. You will not be disappointed in the work they do. Highly recommend.

**★★★★★ — Steve, Jan. 2022**

> I have used Mike and his team for many projects at my house. Most recently M2 Design completed a 2000/SQ FT 3rd floor attic space and turned it into a great living space. They added a large living area, a big bedroom, a large office with workout space, a bathroom and many large closets. From the beginning of the process until the last final detail Mike and his team were very attentive, detail oriented and had very good design ideas to improve the space.
>
> If you are looking for home improvements look no further than M2 Design. You will be very satisfied with the detail, professionalism and knowledge Mike and his team will bring to your project.

**★★★★★ — Ryan Platz, Jan. 2022**

> Honestly one of the best companies I have ever dealt with. Professional, clean, punctual. I can keep going. It is hard when choosing a contractor you can trust to not only get the job done. But meet & exceed your expectations. I highly recommend getting an estimate from M2 Design & Build / Mike Dawes. You will not be disappointed!

**★★★★★ — HU-295051716, Jan. 2022**

> Spinelli Built recently completed a kitchen renovation for my wife and I. There was a wait for a couple months to get scheduled, but I took that as a positive because no one should hire a contractor that can start tomorrow! And am I glad we did! Spinelli Built exceeded our expectations every step of the way. They were extremely professional, attentive to our questions, and ensured the job site was cleaned up on a daily basis. Great communication throughout the process and ultimately delivered upon the timeline they promised. I now understand why the demand is so high!
>
> Mike and Mike were amazing to work. Was nervous about the project given this was the largest project we have undertook, but everything went smooth and we am extremely satisfied with the end product and glad we were able to work with the Spinelli Built Crew! When the time comes for another renovation, I know who I will be calling!

**Comment from Michael Dawes:**

> Wow! We are so thankful to have had the opportunity to work with you and create your dream kitchen! Wishing you both a happy and healthy new year with your growing family!

**★★★★★ — Kathy Caffrey, April 2021**

> I just had my kitchen completely done over. I couldn’t be happier, Mike was very professional and followed through with all his promises.  I highly recommend!

**Comment from Michael Dawes:**

> Kathy thank you so much! We loved working with you and thank you for all your great references!

**★★★★★ — Sandy Bertino Pedersen, Sept. 2020**

> I have floor tile and a backsplash done by Spinelli Built. They did an excellent job. They cleaned everything up and left my kitchen looking great. There employees were very nice and were very professional
>  I highly recommend them for any type of home improvements.

**Comment from Michael Dawes:**

> Thank you Sandy! So glad you loved it! We appreciate you!
