A 2017 customer was pleased with the quality of the work Mike White and his team did raising the second floor ceilings, and said the project was delivered to budget. That 2017 customer said the project went on longer than expected, which they put down to a sub-contracted electrician.

Michael White is a crook who is only interested in making as much money on a project as possible. He and his crew of incompetents worked on my 19th century home. He insisted on residing the entire house, though that was unnecessary. He could have installed high-grade insulation, but instead put in the least amount acceptable, less than he told me he would. He removed replaced most of the windows without my knowledge, but his workers didn't insulate the replacements. His crew also removed original interior molding, damaged the original plaster, and broke my personal possessions. His bill came to more than $100k and my tiny home still isn't complete.
He's excellent. Completely satisfied.
I would absolutely recommend Mike. He does great work, is reliable, and is a kind, trustworthy person who takes pride in every project he does. He cares about the history of our community and how each building fits into it. I have also called Mike when something random goes wrong with my house-leaky gutters, woodpecker holes, etc.-and I have no idea what to do. He takes the time to stop by and recommend a solution, even if there's nothing in it for him.
Michael White Contractors were great.
Michael White does outstanding work. Extremely reliable and professional. 5 stars.
