While we did not use Interlakes and Mike to build our new house in 2012, consider this as a testament to his character. We put our architect's plans out to bid with three local builders, one of which was Mike. Of the three, one company's bid was sky high above the other two. It came down to having to make a decision between Mike and the builder we ultimately chose and their bids were very close. It was not a flip of the coin choice, but it was close. I called each of the unsuccessful builders to tell them that we would not be using them. The sky high company was incensed that we did not choose it. Mike could not have been more gracious and asked me who we decided to use. I told him and his response was "well, if I am not going to be doing it, then you will be very happy with builder "X" -- he does a great job". I have never forgotten his reaction, or for that matter the reaction of the other builder, and have recommended Mike on several occasions, along with our builder.
