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.

This is my experience with JG Development and Jeff Grundahl in Blue Mounds, WI. His agreement is a joke! We wrote a check for $6000 for design work of an additionand received no working document in return. I am sharing my experience with JG Development to protect you so that you do not put yourself into a similar situation with JG Development and Jeff Grundahl. Most people would be embarrassed that they got into this position but we are writing this journal to save you from a similar experience. Since this experience I have joined Angie’s List to be more informed. I have no idea how they got such a good rating on the BBB so check ALL your sources first.
JG Development is located right down the highway. We have seen them for years at every EXPO in Madison WI and picked up many glossy marketing materials. We wanted to trust them and hoped they would respect us especially being a neighbor. I contacted JG Development through their web site. The sales consultant Randy Ziebarth came to the house to hear my vision of a room addition. What we wanted was a copy of the octagon room JG Development uses for their office space. As we did our walk about the property I caught comments of, new siding to the house, “No thank you”, landscaping, “Nope”. I later realized why he was adding on as much as he could. Randy is a good salesman and the design contract I signed was a percentage of a completed project. $$$$$. Still we had faith that they could design our vision. The design couldn’t be difficult because we sat in the octagon room during every meeting! An agreement was drafted and I signed an agreement in an early Tuesday morning meeting. Randy walked through the agreement 12/14 in less than 15 minutes.
That night I reviewed the contract in detail and sent an email Wednesday 12/15 with a detailed list of concerns. If we would have received a "Cooling Off' Notice” in the agreement as defined in NARI's Code of Ethics we would have canceled the contract. Making the contract null and void was documented as one of our plans in the email of concerns. I have all the email communications. We received an email response to our issues but the check already cleared the bank. Big Flag!!!! I had my car salesman friend review the JG Development agreement. He told me that it was stupid high estimate and that we should have just given the money to charity.
We started the design work on the octagon room when I learned JG Development did not build the room. It came with the building they purchased. We continued with design work while waiting for a property survey. We didn’t have one. Months later we received the required property survey to identify the property setback lines. The contract allowed only 40 hours of design work and after that we would be charged hourly. The design we were working on for 2 months could not fit within the property building lines! Here is where it all goes BAD!!! We were months into the project. Randy and Charlie came to the house to take the current building measurements. We had to change our design dramatically to fit into the property setback lines. The octagon room design turned into a draft of a traditional square room addition! Octagon to square? The first step for an architect/designer is to understand the customer's point of view. How did this happen? We had been working for months on the design!! At this point we were frustrated and disappointed in this agreement. It felt like we were spinning answering questions several times. We were in this agreement big money and hoped we could at least get the house measurements and at least some design plans to work with.
We finally initiated communication to end our business relationship. It was time to move on to work with someone we could trust and who would work with us. Not just for the money. This is when the JG Development relationship got NASTY!!! We were no longer customer and business partner. We were communicating on legal terms as the owner and contractor. There was no “Dispute Resolution” method for resolving disputes in the agreement. Jeff Grundahl let me know neither a 3 day cooling off period or a dispute resolution is required in agreements even though NARI indicates they are part of best practices. We shared emails trying to resolve the complaints. We stopped communication when it was clear Jeff Grundahl did not feel they caused us monetary loss. After several requests for the detail work JG Development performed we received a spreadsheet of the meetings, phone calls and design work. JG Development worked a total of 36 hours. They worked 11.75 hours on the design. The work rate shared was $65 and hour. Hmmm … they retained the 6K fee for $2340 of work. We entered the agreement for design work and today we have nothing from JG Development we can work with.
We sent JG Development an email requesting a partial refund. We received this response, “Wanting to resolve this issue without any further effort or expense, I am willing to send you a refund in the amount of $2,000.00. If that is unacceptable to you, then my position stands. If you so choose to accept that offer, and you notify me of your intentions, I will forward you a full release and hold harmless document that you will be required to sign and we will release the payment once we receive the signed release. This payment is in no way an admission of anything you have accused us of; it is simply an offer in good faith and is an only and final offer. “ HA! We did not accept this embarrassing offer. JG Development was out only a few hours of design work during winter months. The dollars are important but what is more important is our integrity to refuse an unacceptable compromise. I share this experience so other people are aware of JG Developments business tactics. Businesses should be responsible and accountable for customers. We share this experience because people want to see how a company takes care of customers.
Does anyone think we should take this to small claims court?
Anyone who would like to see the facts - deliverables, are more than welcome to contact me for the documents. It is interesting that any company would consider 36 hours of work as way out their way and beyond customer service."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/wi/madison/jg-development-inc-reviews-424270.htm"},"position":10}]}

"When Mike came out to give me a quote, he told and told me he would get back to me in a week and could probably finish part of the work in the next two weeks and start the full remodel within a month. That was in January, and I'm writing this review at the end of March. I called him several times and finally caught up with him about a month ago, when he said he had had some family issues and would get back to me soon. But he never did. I spent time cleaning my house, speaking with him, writing him an email with all the details of my project, calling references, and waiting months for an answer. The very least he could have done was said he wasn't interested in the project."

"Adam gave me the best estimate on work in a bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, ceilings and exterior; not renovations, but refreshing things. He and Pat did outstanding work, with a nice eye for detail. Friendly, very focused on communicating with me, making sure thing were going well, and understood that I wanted to keep costs down. When I say Adam had the best estimate, I mean that a well known carpentry business gave me quote of $30,000 and a well-known builder/renovator quoted me $20,000 (but at least said I get it done far cheaper with a good handyman, which is what I found) and the total cost with Adam came in just under $10,000). A friend vouched for them before I hired them, and I'll do the same if you want to work with them."

FAQs for treehouse building projects in Marshall, WI
The average cost to hire a handyman ranges from about $40 to $140 per hour. Average project cost ranges between $180 and $700, but the cost per hour and per project depends heavily on the type, size, and complexity of the project. The pro’s experience level and your location also factor into how much a handyman charges per hour or per project. You can also expect to pay higher rates or additional fees for emergency services, or around periods of high customer demand, like holidays.
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.
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.
Knowing if you need an architect for your project can be tricky, especially if you've never worked with one before. In general, small remodeling projects like replacing fixtures typically don't require the expertise of an architect. However, larger projects, like moving walls or adding an addition to your home, should include an architect to ensure the project is structurally sound.
The cost to build a detached garage for two cars costs about $26,400 on average. Prices range from $19,200 to $33,600, depending on your location, the garage size, height, materials, and site prep required. Additional cost factors include any plumbing, electrical wiring, and insulation. If you need to build a concrete foundation for a new detached garage, you can expect to pay $1,000 to $8,600 for this essential addition.
