I’ve used Scotty’s services for house inspections for my clients. Not only is he professional, he is incredibly approachable, friendly and takes the time to help me better understand the property. I appreciate his quick communication and will continue to recommend his services to my clients!
Great experience with Scotty and Deb Mitchell. Prompt replies, always keeping me up to date with all things happening. Super reliable and efficient service. Thanks for getting all my works and reno’s done! 10/10 would recommend.
Scotty did some work for me, found him to be very professional and he did a great job. I have no hesitation in recommending him for any building work. Just give him a call.
SJ Mitchell Building made a great job of our house renovation / extension, thank you. Scotty has a wide range of skills from his long experience of building. We are very happy with our experience of engaging Scotty.
I got in touch with Scotty to organise replacing the front deck at my home. Scotty made sure that I got a quote that was reasonable and gave some options for exactly what I was looking for. Job was done on time, within the quoted price and to a great standard. Will definitely be a repeat customer and highly recommend.
Scotty recently completed a renovation project at our Temuka office and we are extremely satisfied with the results. From the beginning, their team was professional, attentive and thorough. Overall, working with Scotty was a great experience. The professionalism, craftmanship and dedication to customer satisfaction make them a top choice for any building project.
