“It’s a pleasure to write a few words about our home-building experience with you. I’m proud to say that our home was constructed by Mike Pierce. From the first day, I knew that we were getting top-quality construction. After more than four years, I still feel the same. My late father felt that way too. He thoroughly enjoyed walking through the house while it was under construction, and he frequently noted your high quality work. Most of all, he enjoyed talking to you, and I appreciate the courtesy you gave him.

    I recall that one of the people you provided as a reference told us that her construction experience with you was particularly pleasant. I was skeptical, but she was right. You have a special knack in dealing with people so that a potential ordeal is transformed into a pleasant, rewarding experience.

    Finally, you always deliver on your promises. Months in advance, you said you would be finished in time for our wedding anniversary, and you were. We love our home, and we appreciate that it was built by Mike Pierce.”

    “The craftsmanship throughout the home evidences the quality of construction that Michael Pierce is known for around north San Diego County. His honesty and reliability make it a pleasure to recommend him. Some people say he is one of the two best builders in Fallbrook, some say he is the best. Perhaps, but for my money he is the best in San Diego County. He stands behind his work and makes building a home the pleasant experience it should be.

    Contrary to popular belief, building or renovating a home need not be a bitter experience. All our lives we heard one horror story after another about building contractors. We had the good fortune to have Mike Pierce recommended to us. Our home is a showplace. After seven years, it just gets better. A master woodworker and craftsman himself, Mike has the best subcontractors in the business. Mike calls using various low-bid subcontractors “experimental building.” His subs are tops and give that little extra that makes the difference. We established lasting friendships with Mike and his whole crew. We came to regard Mike and his subcontractors as friends who bent over backwards to build us a quality home.

    I know few folks who can recommend a contractor after building or remodeling a home. Mike Pierce is the exception. The longer we live here, the more we appreciate his ability and ethics.”

    “Our dream house has become a reality thanks to you, your skill as a contractor, and your attention to detail. There were instances where you might have opted for a lesser way or fix to a problem and in each one you went the limit to produce a first class house. This did not come as a surprise to us, Mike, as we had many of our friends tell us what a fine house you built and of course I saw this demonstrated in your supervision of the Wilson Center construction. There too, you also went the extra steps to ensure we had a quality building and it has proven already to be so.

The best part of having you build our house, Mike, was to work with a person with such integrity, thoughtfulness, cooperation and a great sense of humor. We have come to know you and your family as friends and we value that friendship very much. We are proud of our home and would be pleased to show it at any time as an example of your work. Thank you for making our dream so much fun.”

   “My dad was a builder who took great pride in his workmanship. Mike is the same kind of guy, first class. The first house Mike built for us was a tiny 600-square-foot cottage. The construction was as good as if it had been 6000-square-feet.

In our current home, the quality persists. Everything fits and is square and plumb. Also, Mike has a great group of subcontractors who also do quality work. We would like to add that Mike provides classical music while working, creating a quality workplace.”

    “Hiring you to build our new home was the best decision we’ve made since coming to Fallbrook. You are without a doubt a man of high ethical standards, personal integrity, and outstanding craftsmanship. The project was on time, within budget, and top quality. We applaud you, and each of your subcontractors, for building us a home we are proud to say is another ‘Michael Pierce Masterpiece.’

    There are times when the sunlight touches a spot on the wall or ceiling and it will remind us of you in your pith helmet, working on a problem or improving upon the design. Each new visitor to our home stops at our unique front door and hears about how you designed and built it. There is no question in our minds that you built this home as if it were your very own. As realtors here in Fallbrook, we get a chance to see a lot of custom homes. We also meet many people who have built homes, always eager to talk about their experiences. When it comes to a Mike Pierce built home, each owner we’ve had the opportunity to meet praises both product and you personally as a committed and dedicated builder. Mike, we can’t thank you enough for the superb product you built for us. ”

“Mike built us a beautiful home…the whole first-time experience was exciting and immensely interesting. Working with Mike was the reason it went so well. I trusted his intellect, his craftsmanship and his honesty. He guided us through one decision after another with patience and classical music!”

    “When we hired you to build our new 5000-square-foot home in Fallbrook, we heard from many others that you were a top-quality and very trustworthy general contractor. Now that our home is finished, we want you to know that working with you has been a pleasure. Every day we enjoy and appreciate the results of the good workmanship and extra quality you built into our new home. Throughout the building of our large and complex home you were always open, approachable, and easy to talk to, and considerate. Especially important, you always followed up promptly on changes or other actions we discussed along the way.

    Part of your good service to us was your selection of excellent subcontractors. They were all experienced, highly skilled and also easy and comfortable to work with. We also appreciate very much your attention at all times to our budget. We really feel that thanks primarily to your conscientious and diligent efforts, we truly got our money’s worth.”

    “We love our house and are continually complimented by friends on its design and craftsmanship. If you had not shown us how we could redraw our original plans in order to make our dream home a financial possibility we would not be enjoying that dream today. We must have the record for pouring the slab in March and moving in by September 1st!”

    “When Michael Pierce completed building our home on schedule, we knew we had chosen the right contractor. His guidance and recommendations were always helpful as he patiently accommodated the numerous questions and decisions that are a part of the ongoing construction process.

Building our home was one of the most enjoyable experiences of our lives. We continue to marvel at the massive stone fireplace—intricate carpentry in the sunroom ceiling—hand-carved beams—the wagon wheel window—the unique tile roof—the many other wonderful features in our home. Mike Pierce and the subcontractors who work for him have helped us build a home we can all be proud of.

The quality of construction is evident from the bare framing to the last coat of plaster. We were thrilled with the entire process and would do it again in a minute. Mike’s calm demeanor kept everything seamless and smooth. As long as we live in our home, it will always be a showcase for Mike’s prospective clients. We love to show it off.”

    “I’ve known Mike Pierce for eight years and I’ve used his skills on two different projects: an 800-square-foot addition to my home and a 1700-square-foot expansion/remodel. The second project was a real challenge as we worked from my plans and had to frequently “wing it” as we progressed. The quality of his work was first class, his subcontractors were true artisans, and Mike’s flexibility and easy nature made him a pleasure to work with. His dry humor was a source of great relief during the more anxious moments in remodeling. If you’re thinking of using Mike, please visit our home and see what he can do.”

   “I feel that Mike Pierce is not the only builder who takes pride in the quality of his construction and has a reputation for reliability. What makes Mike, unique, I think, is personified in this one experience: a month or so after we moved into our new home he telephoned one evening to ask if we had any problems or anything that needed to be ‘fixed.’”

    “Mike’s tendency to be a perfectionist has been nothing but an advantage for us. P.S. He plays great music on the job site.”
