They were extremely professional. Price was the reason why I didn't go with them. As far as quality and everything else, I would give them an A.

We contracted with Premier Construction in early February to break ground on a 20x20 living room addition off our home. Working with Adam was about as easy as it gets. I contacted him after reading positive reviews on this site and we met for an estimate within 1 working day. It took all other contractors nearly a week to respond to me. After walking through a few different idea scenarios, Adam worked up a quote based off of what we wanted and kept it exactly in the budget number we needed it to be. We had set aside $40K for the project but really didn't want to get all the way to that number (more like $35K-$38K) to leave room for the unforeseen costs that are always involved with projects of this nature. We signed the agreement in mid-February 2014 and Adam and his crew broke ground the first week of March as promised. Overall, the build process was very smooth. The only hiccups to the 5 week timeline were changes that we wanted made to the original plan that extended the process further (upgraded doors/windows and heating a/c unit). If we ever had any questions with the project, Adam would always return phone calls or texts within the hour. I never felt out of the loop or out of touch with him throughout the process. For a Type A personality like myself, that was probably the most important thing to me. After the 5 week timeline we had a great new room that we're extremely happy with. We also came in exactly at budget. We are even having Adam come back to build a new deck off the addition this summer. Overall, we are extremely pleased with the experience and would recommend Premier Construction to any family or friends in need of general contracting

The addition went well and we were in after about 7 weeks - it would have been sooner but there were some weather issues (of course). The remodeling section went OK, but there were a few hiccups. Adam and his crew were great and friendly, but some of the subcontractors he uses were not giving us the time and attention that we felt we deserved with a project this size. There were a few times where we had Adam call them back in so they could get it right. The drywallers left CRAZY messes (mostly from our popcorn ceilings being scraped but seriously, we are trying to live there), and the electricians would come, leave, come back a couple of days or week later, leave again - just never getting the thing done. One part involving the video lines was drug on for over a month while work went on around it. When it came to the interior finish, which is Premier's crew, they were awesome. We love the look of the remodel and our new kitchen is amazing. The workers, Mike, Jessie, Curt, and Tim did great and they finished everything in a timely manner. My kids felt totally fine around them and they would take time to chat with my family and pet the dogs. We did have some miscommunications at the end with some punch list items but those were resolved eventually. However, during the whole process, Adam was always available via email, text, or phone. Even with the subcontractor issues I described, I would not hesitate to use Premier again and I have referred a couple of coworkers and friends to them. This was a very large project and now that we are all done and have been living in it for a few months, we LOVE it. We get many compliments from friends and family. Honestly, we wish we would have done this years ago... :) I have given Adam permission to use us as a reference and please feel free to ask him for it and call if we can help give you more information

I hired Premier Construction to build my custom dream home. I could not ask for a better outcome and overall building experience. Adam and his team guided me every step of the way with great feedback, product knowledge, recommendations, and ideas. I could not be happier with the final product! Not only does my home exceed my expectations with quality, but also with Premier?s one-of-a ?kind touches throughout the house. Their innovative ideas provided me with options for maximum practicality for each living space, as well as creative designs that achieved the "WOW" factor I was envisioning, but didn't know how to achieve within my means. Adam and his team were extremely friendly, supportive, and helpful throughout the entire experience. When I made last minute revisions, they did not hesitate to put in the extra effort to complete my desired results. I was very appreciative for their sense of urgency and accountability. I am miss having them all around! The project was completed, start to finish, in just 4 months. Adam consistently provided helpful walk-thrus with me explaining the progress on the timeline and budget. I always knew exactly where I stood which provided me with ease and confidence throughout the entire process. I highly recommend Premier Construction for any home remodel, room addition, or custom home. They provided me with excellent service, quality craftsmanship, great communication, and outstanding results

,We contacted Adam, owner and operator of Premier Construction, after purchasing a lakefront home that had a beautiful yard and views, but was outdated and not large enough for our family of 6. We had read good reviews about Adam and his crew so decided to give him a call. He arrived at the time he said he would and was very friendly and listened to what we envisioned for our home. He immediately had ideas and knew what would work and what wouldn't. For example, I mentioned vaulted ceilings in the addition. He explained that while possible, the look from the street would be odd since the original roof was low. I appreciated that because I did not want something that looked out of place or didn't blend in with the existing home. He listened and got back got to us in a timely manner with an estimate and computer drawings of what the addition would look like -eliminating the need for an architect. His price was very fair and he tried hard to keep his price low. For example, he reused 2 large existing windows, thus saving us from having to buy 2 additional windows. He was very easy to work with and did not overcharge us for making a few changes along the way. He also did work in the original part of the house- eliminating popcorn ceilings, changing all the doors and woodwork, tearing out an oversized fireplace, combining 2 bedrooms into one, tearing out the bulkhead in the kitchen, and adding a peak to the roof of the house for added curb appeal. We were impressed by the people who worked for him. They were quite skilled and did great work. His foreman, Mike, was especially nice and made sure that everything was done right. Overall, we are very pleased with Adam and Premier Construction and highly recommend them. We would not hesitate to use them again. Our house has reached its full potential now and we absolutely love the addition. It is so beautiful and suits our needs perfectly

Adam and all his team were top notch. I had heard horror stories from friends building with other construction companies and I thankfully didn't have any of that. Adam is a good communicator, returning calls and is available anytime an issue arose. His crew was great and all the subs, pleasant and open to suggestions, good with problem solving, and picked up after themselves. Highly recommend

We had a leaking roof. Our neighbor had researched and chose DeWit Roofing, so we had them do an estimate. The estimator was very thorough, climbing on the roof to get an accurate picture of the problems and the costs to fix them. The day of the roofing job, a very professional, efficient team arrived and finished the job in one day. The roof looks great. We really enjoyed working with DeWit Roofing and would never hesitate to use them again

We purchased a home from them that was under construction. The roof, sheeting and interior floor plan had already been determined. We were able to make changes and upgrades to both the interior and exterior to meet our desires. We were able to chose colors, fixtures, stone, garage doors, modify electrical and TV/phone locations, carpeting, tile colors, etc. Some of these choices were limited to their available options due to price. They are a large home builder and buy several items in bulk at greatly reduced cost. If you varied from their available choices the cost went up signifigantly. A few of our choices were not done correctly, but when their error was pointed out they corrected it without hesitation at no additional cost to us. They completed the home on scheduale and even had a few extra iltems that we were not expecting. Overall we were pleased with their cooperation but suggest that you go through each item in the house to be sure you understand what you are getting and make written addendums for any changes. Due to their size, the people on the ground doing the work need to have your changes in writing. The actual construction superintendent on the home was very friendly and accomodating, however changes needed to be made through the main office. He has been very helpful after closing with suggestions and help

Two weeks before closing, we walked through the house with a representative from Jerry's Homes to identify anything that needed to be fixed and learn about the features of the home. Some of the information was pretty simplistic for experienced homeowners, but the meeting was still helpful. The representative was very professional. We had a final walk-through with a different representative the day of closing. Almost all of the items on our list from two weeks prior had been taken care of, although a few workers did stop by that day for last minute touch-ups. We have only been in the home for a few months, but we haven't had any problems. We have noticed a few more cosmetic things that we plan to have Jerry's Homes fix toward the end of our one-year warranty period, but we haven't had to call for any service yet. I will say that the home wasn't as sparkling clean as I expected, but we've never purchased a new home before so I don't know how clean they usually are. It was generally clean, don't get me wrong, but we had to wipe dust out of all the cabinets, clean drops of paint off the floor here and there, clean some dirt and prints off the windows, etc. A few things that we have changed on our own: --Added pulls and knobs to the kitchen and bathrooms--Changed out the toilet paper holders (sounds silly, but the "European" ones that came with the house were terrible)--Added additional towel holders and robe hooks to the bathrooms (we contacted Jerry's Homes and were able to purchase matching bath hardware from their supplier) A few things that we wish we had known/changed: --There was only one usable electrical outlet in the unfinished basement when we moved in, and it was at the base of the stairs rather than in the main part of the basement --There was a wood panel above the fireplace for installing a TV mount and a channel for the TV cords, but no provisions had been made for running surround sound speaker cables --There was a cubby below the TV mound and above the fireplace for holding components, but it wasn't tall enough for our surround sound receiver. We considered just replacing the receiver since it's a bit old, but it seems that all receivers are a similar size. It would have been nice if the cubby was a little taller

They were prompt, responsive to our questions, and open to walking through the house to correct any issues we had. They did a nice job and were very professional. They even called me later to ask me if there were any issues to correct before the one year anniversary of the house being built.

"Originally hired for soffitt, facsia and gutters. Replaced rotting wood, covered holes and then wrapped with aluminum. He came out for the estimate within one day, gave thorough explanation of of the work and was able to start that week. Had Steve inspect the roof and give estimate for repairs while he had ladders there. I knew it would need major work in the next year or so. The price he quoted was very reasonable compared to some other quotes I had seen so I went ahead and had the whole thing done. He had to add $1500 to the estimate after he started the tearoff to replace additional sheeting. He provided pictures of the area so I could see that it really did need to be done. From first estimate to finished job was about 2 weeks

"Had high winds lift some shingles on my lake home. He was out there the next day to assess the damage. Life of the roof was over so had him tear off, re shingle and had to increase ventilation in attic. It was done in one day and there was no debris including roofing nails. Was very pleased."

"Where do I even begin telling you about Tony and the wonderful work he does, the attention to detail, the cleanliness, the "going beyond the call" mentality? We had a water mark showing up on our family room ceiling that was gradually getting bigger and darker. With two bathrooms on the second floor right above the damage we were pretty sure what the problem was. We really didn't know of any contractors that would do this "small" of a job so I went searching. Stumbled across Midwest Remodel and Handyman in my search, saw some good reviews and that's when we were fortunate enough to have met Tony! He came right out and assessed the damage and within a day gave me a fair quote and an estimate of when he would be able to do the work. Hired!!! Then, before he even started this job for us, my mailbox post decided to crap out on us and was almost leaning in to the street. I called Tony just to see if by chance he could fix it for me. Again...he came right out and took care of the problem for me! Unbelievable! When the time came to actually do the work I initially hired him for, he was prompt, diligent, efficient, he cleans up after himself literally every day before he leaves, and I have to say that watching Tony and his helper Brandon work together is entertaining, to say the least! What a couple of great guys with a great sense of humor! And when all was said and done, he stuck to his quote, no overcharging and the work was impeccable. But here is a testimony to the true character of these guys...in the midst of all the repair work going on, my wife had a medical emergency. I had to go pick her up from work and leave her car in the parking lot where she left it as she was unable to drive. On day two of her hospitalization, these guys offered to take me to go get my wife's car so it didn't have to sit in the parking lot any longer. They did not have to do that but that's the kind of guys they are and I was incredibly grateful! Class act all the way! Best of all, we now have someone that we can trust and rely on to do things around the house for us that we just don't have the talent or skills to do ourselves! What a relief!!! We already have more things for him to do! This guy is so good, it didn't take long for our neighbors to catch on...he's doing work for them now too!
