“We just wanted to express our heartfelt thanks for all of your help and guidance with our [Basement Finishing] project. I certainly expected more hiccups along the way, and really went into this process with quite a bit of trepidation. Obviously, there was still some stress, but you really came through when it came to those times when something was not going according to plan, and did what you promised in keeping the project moving forward. We finished on time and our budget did not really change from where it started with bid-getting, with the exception of cuts we felt it necessary to make in the scope of work. I feel you presented a realistic picture at the beginning of what Isaac’s role would be (as our “general contractor”). You are obviously passionate about what you do, as are the people you have chosen to work with in your subcontractors.”

“We trusted Jim because he was so meticulous with detail. Jim was a scheduling guru, there was no downtime and it was nonstop activity. I was blown away by how he kept things humming. Jim was a stick-in-the-mud about the budget. We got everything we wanted and then some.”

Brian and Charlotte, West Bloomington, Minnesota

“We do feel like a success story. We feel we saved about 33% compared to the quotes we received from contractors before deciding to go with Owner-Built! That’s over $18,000 on our four-season room, fireplace and deck. Plus, we were able to add the upgrades we wanted and didn’t have to negotiate with contractors to “cut back” to save money! Because we saved so much money, we were able to add the paver patio to the project. We are very happy with the whole process. We did feel that we had control. As you are aware, I was very concerned about the time I would have to put in managing the project. It was much less time consuming than I thought. Your contractors were very professional and did high quality work. It was a very good experience! I wouldn’t think about building an addition or building a new house without you and Owner-Built! Thanks for allowing us the opportunity to participate in the construction process.”
