I've lived in three houses designed by Chip Mitchell, one in which he was the builder/contractor. That was my dream home built in Deercreek Golf and Country Club over 20 years ago. Chip was able to draw up the plans for that home from a description I copied from a home in Tennessee. He did an amazing job, even offering new ideas of his own to incorporate into the design. Chip is knowledgeable, gifted in designing, and pleasant to work with. To this date, when I have a home maintenance problem or want to see the latest in home trends, I call Chip. He has a great referral list of professionals to assist him and I've been pleased with the final results every time. I would highly recommend Chip Mitchell for any of your home designing/remodeling opportunities. You will not be disappointed.

Chip Mitchell took the design of an old house we wanted to renovate and with his experiencedview, took it to extraordinary heights. Plus, and just as important, he helped us through the cumbersome COJ permitting process and supplied me with a list of vetted GC's and subs that helped me immensely bring this old house to become what it will shortly become-simply beautiful and an outstanding waterfront retirement home for my wife and I. Thanks for a job well done, Chip!

Chip helped us design and built our home. He interviewed us to know our life style and what we want in our home. He did an excellent job in designing it. After leaving in the house for more than 8 years, the house is very sound and in beautiful. We have many compliments from our friends. We recommend Chip to anyone that asks. I will definitely go back to him to built our home again.
