Working with Midstate Contractors was one of the best experiences we’ve had while working to preserve and maintain this significant historic barn.

They brought to bear a lot of talented and craft people who understood the construction. They were impressive and we were glad to partner with them and would recommend them highly going forward for anyone that has a courthouse they want to restore.

Tim BubbLicking Co Commissioner
“

When we visited the shop of Midstate that was very impressive to me. I really got a firsthand look at the craftsmanship, the pride, the passion the people utilize when they're completing a project. What impressed me was their ability to say 'yeah we can do that' when we would make a suggestion. A lot of times I hear why we can't do things, and we always heard how we could do it and when they did do it, they did it right.

David EdelbluteLicking County Court Administrator
“

We were very impressed with what we saw in Midstates work we actually went to 4 or 5 other counties to see things there and we saw in those other location and we have seen throughout this project that they have the ability to adapt and have great respect for the history of the building and preserving the look of the building.

Tony CoreLogan County Commissioner

When the company was started, it was developed to restore historic buildings and public buildings. They have done the specialized work whether it be woodcraft or metal work, so we felt confident that we were going with someone who was at the top of the field.

John BaylissLogan County Commissioner
“

I think there's 2 things that really jump out to me. One is you deal with the owner the second thing that I think really separates Midstate Contractors from a lot of folks I've worked with is their creativity. There is not in my opinion any problem or any challenge they cannot solve.

Dustin WickershamLogan County Commissioner
“

Not every contractor can do this work you got to be specialized. They have the history, they have the background, they have the experience, and they care about what they do. Can't say enough good about them.

Rob AultHolmes County Commissioner
“

They are such professionals they know what they are getting into, and they know what they are doing. Doug's been doing this a long time, his dad started the company, his kids are in it, his brothers are there, its a family affair and that's amazing to see that the family works that well together.
