"deWit Construction & Remodeling went well above and beyond my wife's and my expectations!
We had spent countless hours designing our large custom home addition that consisted of vaulted upper level ceilings, 3 bedrooms (2 guest and 1 master with a large walk-in closet), 3 bathrooms with custom showers, 2 offices, 1 huge 'Great Room', 1 large entry / mud room, 1 storage room, and 1 large 3-car garage. We then decided that we wanted to do much of the work
ourselves, taking on the responsibility of General Contractor for the project, and hiring sub-contractors to complete segments of the project that we weren't equipped to handle on our own.
To say this was a massive undertaking would be a gross understatement. Locating quality sub-contractors was one very tall hurdle that we hadn't taken into consideration during the planning phase. We found that they were few and far between, that many we were able to locate wanted to charge an arm-and-leg for 'custom' work (well outside of our budget), and that some were straight up unreliable and deceitful.
Our previous framing sub-contractor had left a bitter taste with us, so we practiced great diligence in selecting our next. (Note: Long story short, we had to take our previous framing sub-contractor to court in order to recover our down payment due to zero work being completed and multiple promises broken and deadlines missed.) We were pleasantly surprised when we met and spoke with Neil deWit about our project and desires for the work that his crew would be preforming. Neil was very professional in taking the time to listen to and talk with us about the project layout, time-frame and budget, etc. Once we chose to go with deWit C & R, it wasn't long before his crew was onsite and working. We couldn't have asked for nicer, professional guys to have working on our property. We didn't notice any yelling or profanity. They always dressed well and their equipment was always clean and well maintained, and put away at the end of the day. Oh, and their craftsmanship was second to none.
Earlier we mentioned some homeowner design flaws that deWit C & R encountered; well they tackled them head on and found creative ways to make everything work. Most 1st level wall studs had to be individually measured and cut due to fluctuations in the concrete foundation and floor. Wall, door and window locations and dimensions had to be altered in order to make our design work without drastically changing our initial layout. Everything was communicated with us very well by the head carpenter on the project and Neil, and we were involved in all major change decisions. It was awesome to see our project being fleshed out in front of our very eyes and knowing that it was being built with such great quality craftsmanship.
We wanted to roof the existing structure and the addition at  the same time, so as soon as the deWit C & R crew had finished nailing down the roof sheeting, we went to work on removing the worn out shingles from the existing roof. We had an old dump truck that was on its last leg, which we began using for catching the old shingles. We could barely get and keep it running. The next morning, the deWit C & R head carpenter show up pulling one of their nice dump trailers and asked me if we wanted to use it at no extra charge. We were blown away!
We couldn?t be happier with how things turned out.  We officially have our dream home and we owe a ton of credit to deWit Construction and Remodeling! We honestly don?t think we could have completed it without their experience, professionalism and willingness to work with us within our budget. There isn?t a single design modification that we are unhappy with, and the structure is super straight, solid, quiet and water tight.
We can?t say enough good things about deWit Construction and Remodeling. We?re happy to drop their name anytime we learn of an upcoming local project.

"My husband and I had spent 13 years remodeling our 1873 house by ourselves. When it came time to do our dream project of adding a sunroom, finding a contractor to do the work instead of doing it ourselves was a very important decision to us. We met with several contractors and knew instantly that John and his son Nate at Addition Doctors were the people we wanted taking on this project. John and Nate were so great to work with. They were the only company we met with who gave us a computer generated model of what the project would look like so we had a very clear vision of the end product. They were the only company to quote us the project under the budget we told them we had to work with. They kept us up to date at every step of the project and there were never any surprises about cost or timing. They had great ideas for the project when we weren't exactly sure what should or could be done. We love our finished sunroom. The quality of work and service they gave was excellent. We would highly recommend Addition Doctors for anyone who is looking to have quality work done to their home."

"The company was able to come out to look at our sinking garage within a week of initial contact. Reo confessed that he had never seen a garage laid without footings, and he wasn't sure how much it would cost to add them. I had another company come look and give me an estimate and called Reo back. Reo said he was confident he could do the job if needed, but if the other company had done it before, he would recommend using their service instead of his. While ultimately I did not hire this company, I appreciated their honesty and professionalism, and would not hesitate to call them for basement work or other work more in the scope of what they do."

"Todd provided consulting of door specifications for a customer order door. He also completed the installation. The challange was the the opening would not allow for a standard door size. After we as the home owners had excavated & replaced the exterior basment steps it was was revealed that door frame work was not square and was impacted by the basement walls. Our house was built in 1925. Todd was able to view the exposed basement steps work prior to its completion. There was more than one site visit by him to determine the approach to installation for the door.Todd provided specs for us to order the door and met with us.& our vendor to review the specs before ordering. The installation went smoothly. Todd made no less than 3 site visits & many communications with us along the way. This was the 3rd time that we have used his services."

"DeWit Construction and roofing did a great job on my roof and were there to deal with all issues. Tim was a real pleasure to work with! I contacted Tim after reading his reviews on Angie's list. He responded right away and came out to do an estimate. I told Tim about the issues we we're having with ice dams and leaking around the chimney. He explained how they use the ice and snow guard on all the ridges and valleys and would over compensate around the chimney to make so no water could get through. His estimate was very reasonable and I felt that he would make sure the job was done right. It took us a while to get our ducks in a row because we planned several projects as part of the Neighbor Finance Corppration. Tim followed up with us on a regular basis to see how the process was progressing. When we finally got the loan approved and were scheduling the contractors. Tim was very helpful in making sure we did things in the proper order. He advised us to hold off on getting the driveway replaced until the roofing was completed so that they wouldn't cuase any damage to the driveway when they placed their dumpster or used their crane to lift the shingles. He also wanted to mKe sure that the work on the chimney was completed before he began work on the roof. I had some difficulty getting the masonry guy to provide a firm date he could start work, but Tim said that he would schedule us in within a few days of whenever the chimney was completed. He was true to his word and started work the next Monday. This really helped us out because we could keep the concrete contractors in the loop and get them scheduled right after. Tim was on the scene early on Monday with his crew to get the job started. I have a very steep roof that provided some challenges during the tearoff but they kept at the job until late into the evening. They were back early the next morning to finish the job. I took pictures of the work throughout the day and was pleased with the way they did the job and the quality of the work. They cleaned up after themselves very well and I've only found one nail that was sitting on a window ledge. Tim showed me how they were protecting the chimney to prevent water from getting into the house. There were a few issues with the job. During the tearoff a couple of window screens were damaged. Also, since Tim contracted out the gutter replacement, he couldn't control their schedule as easily as he could with his own crew. I was concerned since we were expecting some heavy rain on Thursday. Tim had his crew over there again on Thursday morning and installed a temporary gutter on the front of the house where we have had problems in the past with water getting in to the basement. They also.laid out some tarps to help with water runoff by the chimney. Tim also offered.us $200 compensation for the window screens and for the inconvience over the gutters. It took a month for the gutter contractor to finish the job. They installed the gutters within a couple of weeks but had to wait another couple weeks to.get the leaf guard in place. Tim insisted all along that we didn' t have to pay anything until the entire job was completed. I even offered to pay for the roof portion after the gutters were installed, but he insisted that we didn't need to do that until everything was done.
