“When we began our search for a contractor to build a modern interpretation of a Frank Lloyd Wright Usonian style house in the Galena Territories we were more than a little concerned about finding someone to undertake this very custom project. Luckily we found Bill Miller and Galena Hillside Homes. Despite the fact that there isn’t a single right angle in the entire house, Bill was not at all hesitant in taking on the project. From the beginning planning discussions through the completion, Bill and his team consistently went the extra mile to be sure that every detail was performed exactly to the architect’s vision and our expectations. Bill and every one of his subcontractors went out of their way to keep us fully informed of progress details and willingly accepted our extensive input throughout the project. From the custom framing and custom colored concrete floors to the individual masonry and cedar paneling and soffits, each job was done with attention to detail and artistry. One of the essential elements to the Usonian design is the custom built in cabinetry, shelving, and seating, and the challenge is finding a craftsman who can accomplish it. Bill’s son Jonathan was more than up to the task and is truly a master craftsman with wood. His results went beyond our considerable expectations. None of our questions were ever too small and Bill and all of his crew were always available by phone, email, and text to answer every question which came up throughout the project and made sure to get it right each step of the way. Bill made what could have been a very difficult endeavor a pleasurable experience. We highly recommend Bill Miller and Galena Hillside Homes for your home construction or remodeling needs.”

“Gary has done several home improvement projects for us which were excellent and completed expeditiously. He remodeled our kitchen which included installing cabinets, countertops, and an island. Gary also installed an oak/tile fireplace. When we had a leak in our roof, he replaced a portion of our ceiling with drywall and plastering. All his work has been completed on time and with excellent workmanship. We will continue to hire Gary for any home renovation projects we need.”

“I have never worked with a contractor that communicated better and understood the customer needs the way that Matt and his team do. Although we bought his spec-house, Matt has been available for every little issue or adjustment needed. He brings new design and construction details into each of his projects, and creates a truly unique home for the client.”

“Would recommend to anyone looking to build a home or renovate. Unbelievable craftsmanship. he even built my cabinets and mantle around my fireplace.”

Nathan has gone above and beyond all expectations in designing the floor plan, guiding us through decisions on interior amenities, and coordinating all details. He has kept us well informed of the progress on our home and the site throughout the parallel construction process of a modular home. We highly recommend this family-run business without reservation. Everyone we have worked with has been phenomenal as our dream home becomes reality.”
