Joshua Mitchell’s journey is marked by dedication, resilience, and an unwavering commitment to excellence. A graduate of the class of 2003, Josh’s professional journey began in the commercial construction industry right after high school. Over the next four years, he honed his skills in this field, gaining invaluable experience and insights.

Seeking to broaden his horizon, Josh transitioned into residential construction, specializing in luxury and high-end remodels and renovations. His meticulous attention to detail and steadfast commitment to quality was instrumental in elevating homes from ordinary to extraordinary.

In 2009, Josh took a bold step, enlisting in the United States Army. During his six-year tenure, he served honorably, completing a tour in Afghanistan and another in South Korea. This period of his life imbued him with a deep sense of discipline, teamwork, and fortitude – qualities that would later become key to his success in the construction industry.

After being honorably discharged, Josh, his wife, and their three children returned to California. In 2015, he decided to bring his diverse skill set back to where his passion for construction first took root – at Mitchell Construction. Rejoining his father and brother, Josh brought a unique blend of commercial construction knowledge, high-end residential remodeling expertise, and military discipline to the family business. His diverse experiences have enriched Mitchell Construction and continue to drive its success.

From my teenage years, the aspiration of owning a business took root in my heart. I ventured into entrepreneurship early, at the age of twelve, engaging in miscellaneous tasks such as painting, lawn mowing, and helping people move. The hands-on lessons of concrete work were imparted to me by none other than my father, John Mitchell.

My initial days in the industry were spent as a laborer, learning the ropes of the trade. I vividly remember the sight of the company owner stepping out of his truck and delegating tasks for the day. That moment ignited a resolve within me to lead my own company one day, though I was aware of the learning journey ahead of me.

After several years of dedication and hard work, I climbed to the role of a job site Foreman. This position offered me the opportunity to work on an assortment of projects, including tilt-ups, poured-in-place decks, large buildings, and poured-in-place walls.

My learning curve took an upward turn when I took on a project to construct our church, a task that spanned 18 months. Alongside my father and brother, I became involved in nearly every aspect of the construction, familiarizing myself with new trades and experiences. This project was a turning point, and I fell in love with the whole building process.

After completing the church, I associated myself with different companies to further broaden my understanding and knowledge. With each experience, I knew I was getting closer to my goal of starting my own business.

In 2008 Everything came crashing down, work opportunities dried up, and I found myself working for several companies on meager wages. Driven by the need to adapt, I started taking up miscellaneous jobs for homeowners, ranging from sprinkler maintenance to ceiling fan installations.

This challenging phase introduced me to a gentleman that wanted to build a house and was looking for someone that needed an opportunity. With his assistance, I secured my Building License. Proposing a partnership with my father and brother, we embarked on this venture, built the gentleman’s house, and laid the foundation for our company.

Since 2008 the three of us have worked on many projects of varied scales. Our satisfaction lies in creating structures that transform into cherished homes for our clients. We all are family men, married with children, and believe it takes a family to build a home. Sometimes it feels like a dream to work alongside family and friends doing what I love and building a company and legacy.
