Mike, Kallie and their crew were very helpful throughout our entire kitchen renovation. Their workmanship is high quality. We absolutely love our new kitchen and will refer them to everyone! Ray & Karen

Hired Mike a year ago to a complete bathroom gut and remodel. He did a good job but it was far from cheap.

Followed up a year later to ask about another job at the same house (my mother's) that was significantly smaller (a simple fence replacement). Took him four months to reply, said he would send a quote and it never happened. He is a good contractor, not a cheap one, probably very busy but also in it for the big jobs.

When we finally decided to do our kitchen renovation we hired Kallie and Mike with The Yellow Chair to walk us through the design phase and then the actual remodel phase. We absolutely LOVED working with Kallie, Mike and the entire Yellow Chair team. Mike and Kallie came up with the perfect re-design of our space and Kallie lead us through all the decisions of design. I remember in our process that Kallie would say: "I know this will be great, but we want this to be a home-run!" That was just what we needed to hear as we made all of the decisions and we are extremely satisfied with our "home-run

I can't say enough wonderful things about Mike and Kallie - we are new to renovating and they were patient with us and extremely helpful as we navigated the design and decision making process. Kallie has a fabulous eye for design and really helped us figure out what we liked and why. I would not consider doing any kind of design without consulting her in the future! And Mike and his crew were amazing - their work was impeccable, and they had fabulous attention to detail. Shane, their foreman, was a wonderful partner day to day, and we were so happy with the work he and the crew did.
