Before you hire them get a lawyer to protect your money, they have been sued 3 times since 2014, with one judgement for over $300,000.00. They did not put all the anchors in the house foundation to secure it, as the IBC 2006 and City of Pekin Illinois calls for. The roof is unlevel and not built to any blueprint. I would not have them build me a doghouse or even hire them. Poor QUALITY House and they do not do as the their contract is written. If you want to see my junk house come by and I'll show you Poor Quality.

We love our new home!  They were very accommodating and allowed us to do some of our own work, without rushing us.  I would recommend them to others without hesitation.

For the first time, we bought an existing home and decided to remodel.  Our previous four homes were all new construction.  We wanted a reputable company to work with and chose P&W Builders to remodel our kitchen, build and install a new railing and several other projects.  We made a great decision.  They did a great job with each of the projects, finished on-time and within our budget.  I would highly recommend P&W Builders for your remodeling project.

Our home is pretty well built. We had a 1 year warranty with the home, and only utilized it for some plaster repairs and grouting repair. P & W doesn't want to rush building your home, but it took 7 months from breaking ground to moving in. There were some weeks that nothing was being done on the home (we were paying interest on a loan and nothing was being done!). They never complained to us when we would change something up (nothing big), always answered the phones and promptly gave us an answer. Some of the subcontractors weren't as great. I would call up P & W if something was not right. We had a broom stolen by a sub, and P & W bought us a new one when we closed on the home. They will work with you and let you know where to cut corners or things you can do yourself. They did pressure us a bit when we were showing interest in building, saying that "prices will be raised soon!" to hurry us into signing on the dotted line. If I were to every build again (which I don't want to!), I am 50/50 split if I would use P & W. We have learned we are not fans of plastered walls (P & W will not do traditional drywall on the walls), and the lag time from start to finish was disappointing. This was before the housing "bust" in Peoria, so take that with a grain of salt. We have gotten alot of complements from friends and neighbors that our house looks great! Even random people have driven by and asked us who built the house because it looks great! The landscaping we did all on our own, so the curb appeal is partly from the owners.
