What Client's Say

Real feedback from the people we’ve had the pleasure to build for. Their words reflect the impact of our work.

Lorton did a fantastic job with the remodel of our historic adobe home. He really understands, and is committed to, authentic detailing. We also found all of the subcontractors hired by Lorton Mitchell Homes to be extremely professional. Building your home can be very stressful. The bottom line with LMH is that the project went without a hitch and was a pleasant experience from beginning to end.

Our entire experience with Lorton Mitchell Custom Homes was fantastic – Lorton and his staff are highly professional, talented, reliable, and a delight to work with. They were very attentive to the architectural plans and our own design wishes, but all had creative and successful ideas and solutions to suggest if any changes were needed. All carpenters, electricians, tile workers, etc. are top notch. We agonized over choosing the right construction firm for our “dream house” and boy did we make the right decision – we could not be happier with the finished product!

We had a terrific experience with Lorton Mitchell. We had a challenging project, we were tearing a house down, building a new one in its place, and renovating a Craftsman cottage on the same lot. All this was done while we were living in Cincinnati, Ohio. The entire process was an absolute pleasure. Communication was great, we finished on time and on budget, and we now have a home that we appreciate more and more the longer we are in it. Lorton has integrity, style, and a passion for what he does. The quality of workmanship from his entire crew is beyond compare. We would work with him again in a heartbeat.

We couldn’t be more pleased with the home Lorton Mitchell created for us. Despite the small and challenging site, and our desire for a unique, cottage-style home, Lorton exceeded all of our expectations. Our home is a charming, one-of-a-kind residence that pleases us every day. He took our ideas and made them work beautifully.
