Mike Riddle Construction LLC

Mike Riddle construction was the most professional and transparent company that I have ever encountered in my 20 years as a home owner. He is the first contractor to provide me a transparent budget with an itemized bid, and communicated with me on how to achieve the overall end-state within my budget. Due to life circumstances, we did not start the remodel, however, I created a google email account for this one review, as I believe in integrity and company values, and you will not be disappointed with Mike and his company.

I’m about to rave about Mike Riddle and the Mike Riddle Construction, Here’s why: From the dozen or so drives Mike made out to prospective build sites in far-flung Yamhill County locations, through the year-long wait for us to sell our home before we could afford to build, over the dozens of meetings, thousands of texts, hundreds of emails and millions of questions we had, and up through the finishing touches and last-minute punch list loose ends, (and even well after, including today) Mike was ever the picture of professionalism, courtesy, honesty, friendliness, enthusiasm, and service. We literally love him.

Mike was as enthused about building our home as we were about having it built. He comes alive helping you make your dreams manifest, and he draws on his experience with all things construction to advise about the options and features you desire while also warning of the potential pitfalls of ideas that seem great but that may not play out as well in practice as they are imagined in theory.

Mike works with only the best subcontractors (often exclusively and repeatedly) and does not tolerate subs who shirk, scrimp, or simper. In the front office, Becky entertained my endless questions about costs and draws and banking apps with patience and friendliness. Dave, who took over the project management mid-way through, was attentive and friendly, solving problems and coordinating subs and juggling jobs with professionalism and reliability.

We actually designed our home, not knowing a thing about engineering, architecture or building, and Mike made it happen, matching our vision to the finished product in a way that exceeded our dreams and expectations. The home literally looked exactly as we had hoped--only better. In fact, many of the subtle and grand touches on the home were collaborations with or adjustments made exclusively by Mike. For example, he was as excited about our sunken living room as we were. He also saved us thousands in concrete work while simultaneously improving the modern aesthetic of the front view of our new home.

When things went awry--as they will whenever work, codes, weather, and people are involved--Mike smiled and said “We’ll take care of it; we want you to be happy.” And then he did take care of it. And we are happy!

Most people would never want to build a house again once they’ve done it--all the decisions, stress, cost, and potential conflict with a builder or their subs. I will never build another house. But only because Mike struck gold with this one and we are never moving. But if we had to do it again, we’d call Mike in a heartbeat with not a single reservation or doubt.

Mike feels like family, and we recommend him to you with the highest praise.

We would highly recommend MRC to anyone wanting to build a custom home. Mike and his team can be trusted to deliver a quality home on- time and on-budget. We also appreciate his ongoing follow up after our house was completed, to make sure we are completely satisfied.
