While I don't need a new water softener yet, I know exactly where I'm going when I do need one--Hellenbrand!

My boyfriend needed to get his cabinet doors replaced while it was on the market due to an unfortunate situation. When they "matched" the doors, the color or style of the doors didn't match. My boyfriend told them that, and they argued with him that they did (even though I saw them and they clearly didn't). Then they claimed they could not match the original color of the cabinets, even though they were the ones to originally install them. My boyfriend needed to get the house back on the market so he decided to move forward with them anyway because he didn't have much of a choice. My boyfriend requested that they do the cabinets as quickly as possible so he could get the house sold. They said they could put in a rush order but made no promises. They eventually told us the cabinets would be done the week of 8/2 (6 weeks later, which is clearly not a rush job). They still weren't done by the Friday of that week, so then they said it would be done Saturday and then Monday. By Tuesday they were finally done. They showed no concern for the situation we were in with trying to sell the house. When my boyfriend went to check them out, they put the handles on crooked. When he complained about it, they told him the handles were on crooked on the old doors. I don't understand why a professional contractor would think my boyfriend would want crooked handles. He has also done a lot of design and build work himself and is always very careful about making sure that things are even and lined up properly. Working with them has been a horribly frustrating experience. They have never made any apologies for the repeated delays or issues. They don't seem to believe in customer service at all and I would encourage everyone to steer clear of them.
The design was lovely. However, now that we've lived with the project for three years, we can see that it probably was overplanted. We will need to move some plants to relieve crowding. The quality of the installation was just average.
However, our biggest disappointment has been with customer service.
Immediately following installation, we contacted American regarding the quality of some of the plants we received. Although they did agree to replace some, we ended up buying replacements for others ourselves.
As part of this project, black edging was installed. One area around our White Pine has heaved up. We noticed this last spring (2014) and it has only gotten worse. Since it's become such an eyesore, we called American to see if they would remedy the problem.
We were told that since it's Wisconsin we should expect this sort of a problem and that after three years they would not correct the issue. We have previously installed other landscapes in homes we've owned here in Wisconsin. When we sold our last home, the landscaping edging was ten years old and looked great--installed by Ewald, who unfortunately is retired from the landscaping business.
I believe the section of edging that has currently failed was poorly installed as the rest is holding up for the most part. I'm disappointed American would refuse to stand by their work. For us to bring in another company to make the repair will be a hassle and an extra expense. For American to correct this one issue would take, I would imagine, relatively little time and expense. They would have gained our appreciation and would have avoided this negative review.

When we first talked to David, we intended to have him make a few cabinets and match them to our old cabinets. David suggested making all new cabinets and after hearing his price we decided to go ahead with that. David is Amish. Because of that we were concerned with the ability to communicate with him and his ability to get to our home in timely fashion. But he had been recommended by neighbors that had David do their kitchen and bath cabinets, so we agreed to have him do the work. As it turned out it was very easy to reach him by phone and he was quite prompt at returning our calls- even in the evenings or Saturdays--- but never on a Sunday. As far as him getting out to our home, that was never a problem. He was able to get here every week or two during the remodeling for measuring and bringing the cabinets out and installing them. It took about 4 weeks from start to finish.
There was only real glitch. I told David I needed an extra bit of space for the dishwasher and refrigerator because they would be really squished otherwise. Unfortunately, the cabinet sizes I had chosen didn't allow for the extra space. In measuring for the cabinets, neither he nor I caught the problem. Once the cabinets were installed I realized that the extra bit of space (about 1 inch) had disappeared. Then I had to decide if it was worth the effort to have the sink cabinet re-made an inch smaller. I didn't want to trouble David for 1 little inch, but once the counter tops were measured for I new it would be soon be "irreversible". So I called David and asked him if he could re-do that cabinet. He said it was no trouble. I offered to pay for 1/2 of it because it was my design he was following and he would have to make two more round trips from LaValle, WI. Fortunately, he had another job in the Madison area and was able to combine the trips. Sometimes that meant waiting a day or two longer for him to arrive, but that wasn't too long.
After everything was installed, he worked at tweaking all of the cabinet doors to be sure that they closed evenly and put little bumpers where when opened the cabinet doors would hit against a wall or something. He wanted to be sure that we were completely satisfied- and we are.
All of the doors and drawers are self/soft closing and the hinges are "European hinges". The drawers are full extension so that I don't have to reach underneath the counter to get to something that is way back in the drawer. The cabinets are maple with birch drawers and sides. I don't remember what the backs are made of, but there is no particle board.
Overall we are extremely satisfied. Everyone who has seen the cabinets says they are really beautiful.

FAQs for residential design projects in Arena, WI
One starting point to find a local home builder is to collect suggestions from friends and neighbors. However, it’s still wise to do some more research before you hire a builder. Read reviews to supplement any word-of-mouth recommendations. Check sources like Angi that have standards and criteria in place to screen the pros it lists can also help you find more reputable local home builders.
The cost of home remodeling is $50,000 for the average homeowner. However, this cost can range anywhere from $3,000 for a small projectto $170,000 for a whole home remodel. Factors like project size, location, and room type all affect your overall cost. For example, bedroom remodeling costs are one of the least expensive projects, costing about $1,500 to $5,500 per bedroom. However, a kitchen remodel has a significant cost range, totaling anywhere from $14,500 to over $70,000.
Typically, it’s more affordable to buy an existing home than it is to build a new one. New construction loan interest rates tend to be higher than interest rates for traditional mortgages. Additionally, the cost of materials is likely higher when building a new home than it was when an existing home was built (unless it’s a very new one). You’re also paying for all new appliances, finishes, permits, inspections, and connections for water, gas, and electricity.
Yes, most states require home remodeling contractors to be licensed, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed home remodeling contractor could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations.
As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:
The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi
Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
The best time of year to remodel your home is late winter and early spring when fewer homeowners are thinking about projects and pros are more available. Also consider the type of remodel you want and plan ahead as much as possible. For example, the summer is a great time of year to update your fireplace, but winter is a better option for fixing foundations and building room additions.
