Mies retains Dwelling Contractor Certification and is a certified architect in Europe. His work is impeccable, down to the finest details. Our first job -- a 10' x 10' elegant tree house in our backyard followed by a room addition full of windows and a lovely pine floor. Every detail was handcrafted. Mies worked within our budget and did all but the HVAC and electrical himself, which I believe he could have done if we would have liked. He is a true artist. If only we had more money, I would have him renovate our entire home to his liking; his taste is that good.
