About Us

In 1946, shortly after the close of World War II, Dorothy and Fred Mitchell returned home from military life to the coastal town of Beaufort, SC. They joined the other four Mitchell brothers there and began building their family contracting business. The company opened its doors as Beaufort Supply Company, a small lumber and building supply business. This business grew, and the family shortly thereafter started their general contracting company, now known as Mitchell Brothers, Inc. The company has been nurtured and improved by three generations of family members, and we are now celebrating over 70 years as a family-owned general contracting business based in Beaufort, SC.
