Mitchell went above and beyond for our family on two projects, including expediting a time sensitive project to ensure our permits were reviewed and accepted on time to reduce county fees. He worked with us on our design considerations and was fairly priced. He also mediated an agreement between the county and myself to ensure extra non value work was not executed at cost to my family. Excellent service.

I whole heartedly recommend Deacon Engineering.

I had a fantastic experience working with Mitch at Deacon Engineering on my kitchen column assessment. Despite this being a relatively small project, he was incredibly responsive and got back to me within just a few days. His expertise in structural engineering was evident, and he made the process straightforward and efficient. Mitch's easy-going nature and clear communication made him a pleasure to work with. He had the relevant residential project experience (and clearly can do more) and helped confirm our suspicions about the non-load-bearing nature of our kitchen column. I would definitely recommend Mitch to anyone needing structural engineering consultation.

Amazing work from Mitch and the Deacon Engineering team. These guys are true professionals and EXPERTS at structural diagnosis! I had a very unique and in depth problem, and they got me all sorted out at a VERY fair price! They were prompt, friendly, and extremely thorough. Didn’t miss a single detail, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the service! Highly recommend!!!

Had a talk with Mitch about my house's problem. He was very patient with all pictures I sent him via a message and didn't charge me anything w/ all suggestions and estimate. 🙂
I haven't decided if I would move forward to work w/ him yet, but definitely great service!

Mitchell did a fantastic job with my home addition Structural Engineering plans. He guided me on some key design choices which could save on costs in the building phase and communicated directly with my Architect. He is responsive and professional and I really appreciate him making himself available when I called for advice (even after our contacted jon was closed out). I would highly recommend Deacon Engineering and would work with Mitchell again in a heartbeat.

As a general contractor who has worked with many different engineers on numerous projects, I can confidently say that Mitch at Deacon Engineering is by far the best. His skill as not just an engineer but a knowledgeable builder really shines through in the plans he draws—they're straightforward and easy to understand, even for those with minimal experience.

Mitch is well overqualified for what he does, and his ability to find practical, effective solutions truly sets him apart. If you’re looking for engineering work that’s reliable, clear, and done by someone with deep industry knowledge, Mitch at Deacon Engineering is your guy. 🤙

Mitchell was extremely helpful with a problem I was having with the stucco on my existing home. The crack was big enough that I worried it might be structural. However, after answering a few of his questions and sending him some pictures, he determined that a site visit was not necessary which saved me a bundle of money!! I appreciated his willingness to take a few minutes to help me instead of simply making an appointment and charging me the fee. I will definitely be using him again if the need for an structural engineer arises.

Mitchell helped me with the engineering on my personal house. He was easily one of the best engineers I’ve ever worked with. Very personable and professional, always willing to offer suggestions and recommendations as well. I was having some issues with permitting and he jumped in and helped facilitate the process along. I would definitely use Mitchell again and I highly recommend him and his firm on any future projects.
