Report
MLS Construction and Roofing transformed a crumbling, gutted structure into a magnificent three-story home for us. Throughout the year-long project, Matt Meierkort and Tim Glascott were responsive, focused, and expert in their work. The project included pouring new footings, structural work, roofing, completely new plumbing, electrical, HVAC, windows, doors, kitchen, baths, painting, and flooring.

Report
MLS worked to finish my basement. They were excellent in the planning all the way through to the finish. Communication was excellent and they worked quickly and efficiently. Everyday there was a team of workers here all of which were great to work with and friendly. Progress and problems were explained and options were given as much as possible. Matt and the team at MLS were great to work with and I hope to work with them again on our next big project.
