“Have hired Scott for multiple jobs. Always does an excellent job! Organized, great communicator. Ceiling repairs, bathroom remodel, kitchen cabinet painting, outside siding repairs, etc.”

“From the moment we met Brian Meiste, we knew that his home building approach was different from his competition. The warm smile from Amber when we walked in made us feel welcome. Brian gave a good picture of how they work (it turned out that he was absolutely sincere) and was happy to meet with us any time and show us other homes that he built in the area. Our design consultants, Abbey and Heidi, were so well organized and helpful. They actually knew what we would like before we even saw it! The project management team of Kevin and Zach kept things nicely on track. Every promise was made good on and they worked within our budget. Now that we have moved in, we couldn’t be happier. They followed up on our punch list, which was short. Our dream house really is a dream - it was fun to work on and stress levels were very low. Thank you, Meiste Homes!”

“Our experience in hiring Cornerstone for a kitchen remodel was outstanding in every respect. We got bids for this complete remodel project from 5 firms, and Cornerstone was far and away the best in their design, value, and time frame for completion. Once under contract they were a joy to deal with and kept every promise. We are both professionals by occupation and appreciate dealing with contractors who are also professional in their work. Nada and Jovan are total professionals in every way. Nada is a gifted designer, and is so easy to work with. She had ideas that were far better for our needs than any of the other firms that bid on the project. On the few occasions that we desired something different than she suggested, she was very happy to accommodate our ideas. Jovan was also the consummate professional and does beautiful work. The project was completed on time and within budget and looks as though it cost twice as much as it did. We have received raves from all who have seen our new kitchen. We couldn't be happier with the result and give them our highest recommendation.”

“Pantelleria Construction has been remarkable. Not only is their work impeccable, they are efficient, dependable, and their craftsmen have friendly dispositions and demonstrate problem solving skills. I would highly recommend their work.”

“We had several decking and stairs projects that needed to be redone or repaired. We live on a very difficult hilly site with limited parking, neighbors that do not like noise, and my husband and I are very particular when it comes to quality craftsmanship. We had been searching for years for a company to either repair or rebuild our stairs and decking that we use to get to the lake from our house. The stairs are situated on a steep slope and change directions as they are intermingled with landings and decks and landscaping. We wanted a company that would assist us in choosing the best materials and had the expertise to discuss design possibilities. The company also needed to comply with local ordinances as well as strict neighborhood guidelines regarding road load limits, work hours, noise limits, parking, etc. In addition, we wanted a company that would not damage other structures or landscaping on our property or others. After interviewing several companies, it was clear that the owner of Gatz Construction was knowledgeable with fresh ideas relating to both material selection and design, and had similar ideas to ours regarding how to proceed in an orderly fashion that would limit neighborhood complaints, damage to our property, etc. My husband and I both had careers in the home improvement industry and had a considerable amount of knowledge so therefore we needed a company that would meet or exceed our expectations. Because we are "hands on" type clients, knowledgeable and expert craftsmanship were essential. In addition, the location of the project was difficult, to say the least, as it was located on the side of a steep hill. We had decided for the old stairs and decks to be disassembled (starting at the bottom with one section at a time) and then reassembled on the same footprint, for the most part, using new material when needed. Unfortunately, most of the 4x4 posts (approx.80), all of the steps, decking, railing, risers, toe kicks and some of the stringers had to be replaced. The substructure seemed to be useable, but since the posts had rotted, each section had to be re- squared which was problematic since the rotten posts caused most of the landings and flights of stairs to move. We also asked that everything that was disassembled be removed from our property at the end of each day. Since they started at the bottom, the crew needed to carry up the old lumber by walking up approximately 100 steps! Of course, the number of steps decreased as the crew made their way to the top of the hill. However, this was very labor intensive. The Gatz crew did a good job of keeping the work site tidy, There were no loud radios, no cigarette butts, no long lunches, and best of all, they showed up on time. Gatz's best quality lies in the area of communication. They returned phone calls and emails in a timely manner; crews were on site on time; quotes, invoices, etc. were professionally submitted; samples and prototypes were supplied when needed; and in addition to weekly meetings, management was readily available upon request to solve problems and issues in order to help eliminate interruptions and downtime. We underestimated the complexity/scope of the project which unfortunately effected the time it took to complete. Lumber availability (used some exotic hardwood), weather conditions, uniqueness of site, our critical eyes, etc. all contributed to an extremely lengthy project. My husband and I are totally satisfied with the beach stair project. We have since used Gatz for other projects. They are professional, dependable, trustworthy, and a pleasure to work with. We can provide photos to Houzz if requested.”

“Rob is a professional and experience trimmers and framers. We are very happy with his craftsmanship, suggestions for homeowner to make “right” choices. We’ll used his services again.”

“Great local company to work with on our bathroom Remodel. They where timely and Comunicated every step of the way.”

“Chandler Construction was the builder of my new home in New Buffalo Michigan. He and his crew started work around June of 2014 and completed in February 2015. The weather was bad that year, but despite that they did a superior job. I have complete confidence in all that they have done in my home.”
