MIKEN is proud to be the preferred custom home builder at the beach , guiding its many clients through the building process by offering strategies , possibilities , and solutions , going above and beyond to ensure their satisfaction . Sean Cummings , who acts as President alongside his father Mike Cummings , delves into MIKEN ’ s history .
“ My father , Mike , established the business in 1986 with the help of Don Jester , his experienced business partner , who initially set up the financial aspects of the business . Their original plan was for Don ’ s son , Ken , to eventually join the business , leading to the name MIKEN . However , Ken ended up joining another family-owned company called Paul ’ s Plastering , which was under thirdgeneration ownership . Despite this , MIKEN retained its name and began undertaking numerous commercial projects for clients such as DuPont , the Department of State , banks , schools , and even constructed the morgue for the Dover Air Force Base . Circa 1989 , Mike decided to start a beach division , which prompted his move to Bethany Beach in 1994 .

The exceptional talent within our team is evident when clients reach out to us , even ten to 20 years after we have completed their projects , and we readily respond to their
needs . This level of commitment goes a long way , particularly in our small-town setting . Moreover , we have built multiple houses for the same families , including both spec homes and homes where they reside .
