### Reviews

**★★★★★ — Katie, Sept. 2023**

> Mike and Jackie are really the dream team!  They did a renovation of our laundry room and we would recommend them without hesitation.  From beginning to end, they were very responsive, thoughtful, and easy to work with.  Their quote came in at a reasonable rate and we felt there was good value in getting both a designer and builder in one.  From the start, they were helpful in the design phase and really thought through how to approach some challenges with our space.  Jackie was also great with aesthetic feedback and recommendations.  Once we got started, they stayed on track with the timeline and budget, got the job done efficiently, and were receptive and easy-going about feedback.  Upon completion, Mike made sure we were pleased with all of the work and made some minor touch-ups to ensure everything was perfect.  We're so happy with the end result, as the space has been transformed from a cramped and ugly place that we hated, to a room we now really love.  I would also note that both Mike and Jackie seem like genuinely kind, funny, and good people, which made them a pleasure to have around.  My only regret is that it took me several months to write this review!

**★★★★★ — Kir Tuben, May 2023**

> MJ are the best company of all time. This may sound like an exaggeration but my husband and I came to them from a very bad contractor experience and they were a dream with us. Communicative, professional, and very efficient. Jackie put up with all my texting and we had great laughs with them both along the way. I cannot recommend them enough. Home Renos are tough but they made it a delight.

**★★★★★ — David Senft, May 2023**

> MJ Design & Build did a substantial rehab on our single family home that included reconfiguring both floors with significant updates to our kitchen, bathrooms & basement layout.  We really appreciated Mike’s willingness to brainstorm on the “build” side including tweaks to the plans.  We also loved Jackie’s suggestions on “design” including best places to purchase items from.  We thought it was great that (1) they stayed in the planned timeframes, (2) didn’t nickel & dime us for tweaks, and (3) their crews were great to work with.  Bottom line, we want to provide our highest recommendation to MJ Design & Build as they made our substantial rehab go as smoothly as possible which I credit to their customer focus, and we would certainly use them again.

**★★★★★ — Angie, April 2023**

> We loved working with Mike & Jackie and their team.  They remodeled our living room with a new fireplace, windows, and built-ins.  It turned out even better than we expected. They were professional, thorough, and came up with great ideas when we ran in to some design issues (which happens with every project).   We also had an unexpected water leak unrelated to the remodel that they were able to help us trouble shoot and repair.  10/10 recommend.

**★★★★★ — Jennifer, April 2023**

> We had a great experience working with Mike and Jackie! They were knowledgable, accurate with the quotes and information up front, responsive and really easy to work with. They transformed our basement from a dark, 70's-esque nightmare to a beautiful, modern and bright family space. Jackie was fantastic with helping us pick tile, paint, hardware and everything in between for our bathroom remodel and the outcome was beautiful. They were both really quick to get everything done and we really appreciated the honesty, knowledge and accuracy from the beginning. I would definiltey recommend them and work with them in the future!

**★★★★★ — Michelle McNellis, April 2023**

> MJ Design and Build were fantastic partners on our bathroom renovation. After receiving multiple quotes on the planned project, MJ Design and Build were by far the best value. The attention to detail with pricing and available use of a designer, helped us execute our vision and sold us on using their services. From the beginning, they kept an open line of communication regarding timelines and were understanding of our needs. As with any project, issues came up and Mike and Jackie were ready to engage and find solutions. We really appreciated their solution-oriented mindset.  We believe this helped get our projects over the finish line, on time and within budget.  With outstanding customer service and superb project analysis, we wholeheartedly recommend this company to all our friends and neighbors in need of home renovations.

**★★★★★ — Melissa Chavesta, March 2023**

> Can't say enough great things about MJ Design & Build! So easy to work with, knowledgeable, responsible and reliable. Very impressed with this team.  They gutted and renovated our kitchen, 2 bathrooms, added some walls/rooms to our basement and just wrapped up an addition (including a new dining room, mudroom and front porch).  They helped us to reimagine our renovation plans after finding out the county has an easement on our property that limited our options for additions- they were able to quickly shift gears and help us to recreate our vision for our home.  They are very professional and more importantly FUN to work with.  We began our renovations about a year ago and are so glad we trusted their team to take care of our home.  Home renovations are a huge investment (in not only money but time) and we are so grateful to have found Mike and Jackie!  Can’t wait to tackle our basement bathroom next year

**Comment from MJ Design & Build:**

> Thank you, Melissa! We so appreciate you continuing to trust us with your home. Feels like our second home at this point! Can't wait for future projects with your amazing family.

**★★★★★ — Meghan, March 2023**

> Jackie did a great job helping me design the details for our main living area! She's very detail orientated and has a good way of explaining things. She gave me different options and scenarios to choose from when we were designing our fireplace/ hearth/ mantle, and also with drywall and picture molding we had done throughout. The team is very friendly and made the process fun. The timing and pricing was reasonable. I would 100% work with them again and have already started another wish list of what we'd like to work with them on next. They did amazing work and we're so, so happy with how it came out. I still can't believe this is my house! I just love being here now so much.

**Comment from MJ Design & Build:**

> Thank you Meghan! What a fun project - can't wait to see what's next on deck!

**★★★★★ — Nancy Councilor, March 2023**

> MJ Design and Build renovated a powder room for us and we couldn't be happier! They were quick to respond, worked with us to create what we wanted, and gave us a beautiful space! Their work is top notch and they are friendly and easy to work with. Thanks to their team for a wonderful job, done quickly!

**Comment from MJ Design & Build:**

> Thank you, Nancy! You & Jim were such a pleasure to work with.

**★★★★★ — Sarah Harrison, March 2023**

> MJ Design and Build did an amazing job on our bathroom. They are so personable and responsive. Jackie took the time to help us think through what we wanted and listened carefully to our concerns and questions. When we had an issue with the company who sold us our plumbing fixtures, Mike went to bat for us and solved the problem. Everyone we worked with was courteous and conscientious. Our bathroom looks great and we're confident in the quality and workmanship.

**Comment from MJ Design & Build:**

> Thank you, Sarah! We really appreciate you trusting us with your project.

**★★★★★ — Ellen Whitten, March 2023**

> MJ Design & Build, headed by Michael and Jackie Rosen, is a premier company that stands behind its work, helps every step of the way, and completes its work on time (even earlier than expected).  They are readily accessible to assist and answer any questions or concerns.  They have great vision, made the renovation painless and have a team who does the work well and cleans up daily to minimize any inconveniences.            I would use them again in a heartbeat and have highly recommended them to others.

**Comment from MJ Design & Build:**

> Thank you so much, Ellen! Your kind words and trust mean the world to us.

**★★★★★ — jdime12351, Feb. 2023**

> We were in need of a new washer and dryer and decided we may as well upgrade the whole space to get some more storage and more functionality out of this little room. So impressed with the end result and this business in general! The design process was really so fun, the quality and value for what we paid for could not have been beat. They were always on time and we were always kept in the loop about next steps and scheduling. The fact that’s it’s a contractor + designer team really made it all come together perfectly. The attention to detail and thoughtfulness really shows in their work and overall interactions. Highly recommend, we can’t wait to hire them for more projects!

**Comment from MJ Design & Build:**

> Thank you, Jackie! Your gorgeous laundry room will always be one of our favorite projects!
