Client Testimonials
Our collection of work reflects a desire to build the finest, most beautiful homes - but our best reference comes from those that live in them.
Long Beach Residence I
“Building a home with Mike Schaap Builders was amazing, and having the opportunity to also work Benchmark Design Studio truly took the experience to the next level. Not only did the designers exceed our expectations with selecting construction finishes, furnishings, artwork and décor, but moving into our new home with a just few personal items made it a truly memorable experience for the whole family. We are so grateful for the entire team!”

“The execution of our new home was flawless. I truly felt like I was on a tv show with a big reveal. We showed up with our toothbrush and toothpaste and spent the night in our dream home. Everything was thought through and there for us. After being so overwhelmed and worried about building a home - we would do it again in a heartbeat - but only with Mike Schaap Builders.”
