The erecting sub-contractor, on the other hand, was not fun to deal with. On a sunroom, these are the guys who spend most of the man-hours on site. The foreman was poor on communicating with us and failed to show up when we were expecting them. My wife and I took vacation days to be home, when nobody showed up. There were no apologies, just excuses. To be fair, they did a quality job when they finally finished. On the night of the 18th, we had a torrential downpour, and there were no leaks, and the room is wonderful.
Again, excellent quality, poor communication and punctuality for that one prime sub-contractor. Sunroom Design Group and the other two subs are all good. But I have to hold SDG accountable for the performance of the erecting crew. Remember, there are two or more sides to every situation. This is how we, as the customers, experienced it. It probably looks a little different to the contractors.

Six weeks later, and multiple phone calls - I finally got the plans. The plans themselves were very very thorough - no complaints there at all. The two issues I had was being told that the plans would be ready sooner and how I was reminded by the engineer on two separate occasions that this project was "completely underbid and has taken him much longer than expected." Take away the semi-rude comments and overall the job was very well done. I would use this company again, but make sure that the lead time for your plans isn't asap.

I agreed, then told them to cancel the order within 4 days and they said it was special order and could not. Because I liked the tile and because the owner gave me a Beautiful Dream guarantee, which he said would remove and replace the tiles if I was not satisfied. I knew right away that I didn't like the tiles and called and told him........he had the salesperson come to see within a few days and she "liked it" and said"it looks just like I thought it would". I then had to wait over a month for the regional mgr to look and take a photo to prove that the work was done right,"before they would pay the owner", according to the owner. I then found out that the tiles had to be from the same distributor, and couldn't find any that I lked well enough to replace. I did find some from another company,but Laydwel would not agree to pay,,,,,,,,,,,,so had to hire a designer to help with the process, but she foudn it imposssible to work with Laydwell and left. Meanwhile, I filed with the BBB,,,,,,,letters back and forth with his responses. AS I had the card from the district manager, I called him and he told me that he had made check out to Laydwel the prev Thurs. My calls to Laydwel went unanswered by the owner,altho msg left many times. In process with the BBB, they advised me to file with the Wisconsin Consumer Protection Agency,,,,,,,,,,,,and I wrote a draft. The owner finally called and offered to pay for the tiles I had chosen from another venue, not the removal, or installation! And he denied that Daltile had paid him! I told him that was not his guarantee and would not accept, as the cost was too great.In the meanwhile, I had pneumonia with a collapsed lung and ws ill over Christmas. Yet intend to file with said agency. So here I am, a year from the beginning, when I first chose the tiles,and ,as yet, have no solution Please don't make the mistake that I did,,,,,,,,,,,,,,two people told me when they found out that I had gone there, if they had known , would have warned me!! I am a young senior and never in my life had this kind of experience with a business~ KIm Schultz, with the BBB of Wisconsin can provide validation.

Very difficult getting county planning and zoning approval, but SDG's chief project manager made it happen. Excellent work on his part. The excavation contractor - Micke Digging & Hauling - was excellent: they scraped, dug, poured for the foundation and floors on time and did a good...

"Gerry is an exceptional contractor and exceptional human being. As newer homeowners and inexperienced handy persons, Gerry went out of his way to explain processes and provide thoughtful insight into the work being completed. He has a great relationship with his subcontractors and that was prominent when issues arose as they were quickly fixed. We provided Gerry with a professional drawing of the basement and he provided his thoughts and made quality improvements without changing the overall layout. Our basement was built during the COVID pandemic and Gerry stored masks and disinfectant directly outside our front door so all parties involved felt comfortable and safe. During the initial quote was honest about the supply chain disruption and the potential for delay in supplies. Overall, it was fantastic to have an individual flexible and accommodating to the changing environment. The quality of finished basement exceeded our expectations by far. We were skeptical of hiring a general contractor at first, but have no questions since hiring Gerry. If we were to build a home or have another significant remodel, we would hire Gerry again in a heartbeat."

"Everyone who worked on my project were subcontractors. The contact person’s contracting company did not do a good job, then tried 3 times to fix it by remudding and painting. It truly was unacceptable drywall installation. This doubled the length of the project. Corners were cut, critical steps were not done. I was left finally with a finished project done correctly by another drywall installer. It was not a pleasant experience, and I do not recommend them."

FAQs for residential design projects in Menasha, 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.
