"Al is a true professional and we are so glad we chose Birkenmeier & Sons. First of all, Al brought his subcontractors with him to the initial meeting so he could provide an accurate proposal. Al also brought in a professional decorator to help design project and pick out fixtures and materials. Once we got started, they went to great lengths to put up plastic barriers and floor protection to protect the rest of the house from construction dust and debris. Demolition went quickly and the renovation process went smoothly. Al's carpenters and subs were all very professional and friendly. Al was on scene throughout the process to make sure job was done right. We are completely satisfied with the results, highly recommended!"

"Bruce and his crew finished over 1000 sqft of basement for my family, including a wet bar, 3/4 bath, game room and family room. I cannot say enough about how great it was to work with them. From the minute Bruce walked in our house to give us an estimate, we knew he would be the one for the job. He had a great personality, understood what we wanted to do and was up front about cost, timing, any limitations, etc-- we could just tell that it would be easy to work with him. Bruce's son, David, did most of the woodwork. He did a fantastic job of duplicating the staircase from our main floor (we happened to also have leftover spindles). He also created a custom built-in bookcase as well as worked with standard cabinetry to make custom-looking bookshelves in our bar. We really trusted that if he said he could do something, he could-- and he did! What we really appreciated was the work ethic-- when they said they were going to be here, they were here. They were always here around 8/8:30 and put in a full day's work, unlike other contractors we've dealt with in the past. The sub contractors that Bruce works with (HVAC, flooring, plumbing, etc) were all punctual and responsible and were also here when they were supposed to be. Because of this, when quoted 3 month from start to finish, they were spot on! They started our basement at the end of April, and were finished mid-July. The project was not without its set-backs or errs, but whenever we brought something to Bruce's attention, it was remedied promptly and without question. All in all, for major construction, this was the most pleasant project we've ever had completed and would recommend Norse in a heartbeat."

"He came right away did the job right away."

"Great! Kimberlin Construction Company is the best. This is the most recent project we had done by them. As always they did a great job. Showed up when they said they would. Great crew and excellent craftsmanship. This is the fourth project we had done by them and we will definitely hire them again in the future. Best contractor we have ever worked with."

"It was a pleasure doing business with Shawn and his crew. He communicated everything through phone and email regarding picking up materials as well as timeline for starting and completing work. They took the time to cover all of the little details while doing the work to make sure we were happy. Shawn runs a truly professional outfit. My wife and I can't wait to use them again in the future."

"We have used this company for both rental and owner-occupied properties. They replaced the roof, gutters, and worked with the company to make sure that our awnings and other items were replaced. They also worked very well with our insurance company and we had no problems at all. Jacob made everything so easy that if we ever need anything else done and they can do it, they have the job."

"I could not be happier with the final product! The first pic is the old bathroom from the 60s when the house was built. The rest are the final rebuild and it looks great. I would highly recommend VMK Remodeling for any project that you might have. I am also going to get a bid on redoing the deck on the back of the house as Vince's company does decks as well! Thanks to his great crew as well, great people to work with."

Hello there! I'm a Saint Charles/Saint Louis native and an experienced carpenter and remodeller of 17 years! Been in my own business since 2022. I love to do beautiful work at reasonable prices. I am focused on design-minded small construction and carpentry--this means that I am not primarily so focused on flashy features and the newest updates, and more focused on how I can create a project with you that makes sense with your specific house and it's architectural design. I love working with wood the most but really love doing most anything on a home and happy to do handyman work here and there as well. Please reach out so we can start a conversation! I'm happy to offer advice on how to navigate the construction industry or send you phone numbers of other great guys if you need other services. I focus on approachability and a down to earth experience. I love doing good work, i'm easy to deal with and show up when I say I will. Would love to work with you!
