Mantra: Build, Improve, Maintain
If you’ve spent time in Lakewood or the surrounding west side neighborhoods, you’ve likely seen the kind of homes Mickey Hodge knows best—older houses with solid bones, hidden challenges, and real potential. As the owner of Mickey Hodge, LLC Construction and Design, Mickey specializes in traditional remodeling and structural renovations where experience, precision, and integrity matter most.
Mickey isn’t interested in trendy, surface-level updates. His work focuses on improving and preserving homes for the long term, whether that means stabilizing a foundation, rebuilding a failing garage, restoring a deck, or tackling a full remodel. His mantra—Build, Improve, Maintain—is more than a slogan; it’s the lens through which every project is approached.
Building It Right—The First Time
What makes Mickey stand out is his commitment to doing things right the first time. Working with older homes requires deep knowledge of codes, materials, and what can (and can’t) be trusted behind the walls. Mickey brings that expertise to every job, earning repeat clients and referrals by delivering work that’s built to last and aligned with the character of the neighborhoods he serves.
The Hidden Challenge Behind the Work
Like many skilled contractors, Mickey’s biggest challenges don’t always happen on the job site. Estimating projects accurately, tracking labor, and managing scope creep can quickly impact profitability—especially when a 15-hour project quietly turns into 25. Clear financial insight is critical, but time-consuming bookkeeping can pull focus away from the work he does best.
That’s where outsourced bookkeeping makes all the difference.
