After seeing the transformation of my sister’s kitchen and dining room by Mackmiller Design and Build, I knew they would be just the ones to work their magic on my bathroom remodel. I consulted with both Mark and Mary for their unique perspective on color and design. The final outcome was what I had hoped for and more. They were both great to work with. I would use them again and have recommended them to others who are looking for quality workmanship at a fair price. Maggie B

We recently completed our second major project with MacMiller Design and are delighted with the results. The “Design” in MacMiller Design is important to us as is their flexibility to adapt as a plan takes shape and inevitable changes arise. Our project involved making our kitchen more of a part of the living area than it had been when the house was built. This meant changing walls, repositioning lights, moving appliances and harmonizing the whole area with new wood flooring. All of this was done despite a challenging architecture that had many odd angles and several obsolete storage areas. Countertops and a large eating area were done in a unique quartzite that we had discovered in an earlier MacMiller bathroom project. That bathroom, which won several awards for the MacMillers in 2019, still creates a wonderful feeling of warmth and permanence every time we use it. With the MacMillers you get complete project management along with suggestions and contacts that can help with everything from reupholstering to unique glass art wall designs. We are already looking forward to a third project to challenge their skills in the near future! Bryce and Paula Johnson

We had a wonderful experience with Mackmiller Design+Build on the remodel of our primary bathroom, family room remodel, kitchen backsplash and entire house refresh. The project touched almost every room in the house, with some unique challenges in the primary bathroom remodel. From our initial meeting through the project completion, Mark and Mary consistently demonstrated their dedication to ensuring that they would deliver on our vision. Between Mark's wide range of skills and passion for his work, to Mary's highly tuned design sense, they make a fantastic team. As can be expected with any project, issues did come up and Mark was able to get them addressed, quickly and fairly We couldn’t be more pleased with the finished product and thoroughly enjoyed working with Mark and Mary. They were on top of it throughout the project and very communicative. The entire project was complete on the projected deadline. After the project was completed, Mary remained engaged to assist in choosing new artwork and accessories to coordinate with remodel. Not only was it great to be able to leverage her design skills, but she did that extra work as a professional courtesy. Overall, we were pleased with our remodeling experience. We learned of Mackmiller through a referral and would recommend them to friends, family, or anybody else that is looking for a dependable, trustworthy, customer centric design+build firm.

We are so pleased with the design and implementation that Mark provided for our kitchen and dining room remodel. Mary’s help in selecting colors and materials made that part of the process so much easier. In addition to the quality of the work, one of the best parts of the experience is how easy it was to speak with them. For example, Mark listened to what our needs were in the remodeling. He came up with a design that fit those needs. When we had questions, he continued to listen and answer them. Mary’s suggestions brought wonderful life to the overall design. We are loving the look and how our new space functions!

We were very happy with the work Mark and Mary did on our kitchen. We live in 1929 Minneapolis home and have a pretty small kitchen space. They did a great job helping us maximize the space we have, and went above-and-beyond to handle the weird quirks you're going to find when you start remodeling an old house like this.

Mark is a NARI Master Certified Remodeler (MCR), the highest level of certification and only one of four in the state to achieve this status. In addition to having top notch experience Mackmiller Design and Build listens, assesses the desires, and outlines the most appropriate paths for solution. Mark and Mary have coordinated several home remodel projects for us (1) kitchen redesign, (2) installation of hardwood floors throughout the carpeted areas, (3) updated painting through the entire interior, (4) a major garage upgrade from floor to ceiling. The most recent upgrade was to make our home accessible for Senior Mobility. Mark has great knowledge and understanding of how to make a home safe and accessible for individuals with physical limitations, and added grab bars, raised toilet seats, raised platforms for getting out of reading chairs, and ramps to the garage, three season porch, and deck. Mark also fabricated a structure to allow easier access to our Jeep with slightly higher frame. Mark studies, understands industry requirements, and has the technical ability and to make ideas a reality. Mackmiller Design and Build does quality work, provides a positive experience, partners with high quality, trustworthy plumbers, electricians, and trades. Mark and Mary represent their clients first. When it comes to home care, McMillan design and build is our first choice doing all renovations in our home.

Remodeling our bathroom was something we had planned for many years, but we were waiting for the right time and the right contractor. Fortunately for us, the two coincided in February of 2019. We engaged Mackmiller Design + Build and they began the project in late February. We needed to have the project completed by May, so it was necessary for them to work through our planned 3 week vacation in March. It worked wonderfully! Both Mark and Mary were very responsive by email and telephone, and we had a high comfort level that they would be trustworthy to work without us there. We were also impressed with the quality work done by their subcontractors, and in particular, the tiling contractor. Since most of the surface of the bathroom is tiled, it was imperative that it be done right, and it was! While there were not many issues that needed to be fixed, when there was a problem, it was addressed quickly and resolved satisfactorily. We are absolutely delighted with the finished product! It has won two 2019 NARI-MN Gold Coty Awards and was featured in the 2019 Spaces Magazine Kitchen and Bath issue. We can definitely recommend Mackmiller Design + Build, and will look to them when we have another remodeling project.

This is our third project with the Mackmillers. We think they are the best and only work with the best plumbers, electricians, tilers, etc. Mark and Mary are good listeners whose plans include our vision of a project and their professional input. Mark and Mary both tirelessly work to get our plans executed to our standards and taste. Nothing can’t be done because Mark is very good at figuring out solutions to any problem or design. We would highly recommend this team.

Mary Mackmiller, a gifted interior designer and co-owner of mackmiller design+build, is a color expert. My parents had hired the firm for three major home projects and were very happy with the results. I hired Mary because our home was monochromatic and thought color would provide a fresh, new look. I needed assistance with exterior paint and trim selections as well as shingle color selection to blend with our stone. I also needed assistance with interior paint selections in the bedrooms, bathrooms, dining room, and office. Drawing inspiration from the furniture, artwork and accessories, she selected timeless not trendy colors that I love. Now there is cohesive feel that was missing before as one space now visually flows into another. Highly recommended and well worth her fees!

Mark and Mary Mackmiller make a gifted and inspired team. They redesigned the walk-out level of home. Our adult son needed a platform wheelchair lift installed. The lift was to be anchored to the wall. Mark opened up the stairwell, reinforced the structure and replaced the sheetrock with a compression-resistant board. The finish was seamless. Then we met Mary and the one thing led to many others. Mary guided us toward a color scheme and design we could never have thought of. The painters, carpet people and other professionals were talented and reliable. We were a very small project but we felt special. We use the space so much more and I, for one, smile every time I enter.

From start to finish our experience working with Mackmiller design+build was first rate. They listened to our ideas, offered suggestions and delivered a remodel that exceeded our expectations! Their attention to detail was incredible and we appreciated how accurate their timeline was even with all the changes and additions we made along the way.
