“I have been able to see the work of Michael Meyers on many occasions over the years, both for others and myself. One thing that stands out more than anything else in those observations is his commitment to quality. Mike will always do what it takes to make the job “right”. He has an eye for detail and an excellent grasp of the underlying concepts of carpentry and building. When he says he is a “green” builder, he is not just jumping on the popular bandwagon. He spent a lot of time, (and gave up a lot of good work) to complete his degree in Environmental Studies at UC Santa Barbara.
One of the reasons he did that was because he genuinely wanted to better understand, and implement well thought out and environmentally conscious work. When you put all this experience and knowledge together with the fact that he is a man of honor and integrity, you can understand why I highly recommend him to anyone needing building work.”
