"Great communication and knowledgable, competent work. Would hire him again."

"I owned a small chalet style family cabin with one loft bedroom, no running water and an outhouse. I met with Lance Christenson, president of Woods and Waters Builders and Remodeling, presenting him with a rough sketch of my idea to add on to my exsisting cabin. My addition was over twice the size of the exsisting cabin including a new kitchen, great room with lots of windows overlooking the lake, bedroom and bathroom while keeping half the the exsisting cabin in tack and expanding the upper loft bedroom. Mr. Christenson took my sketch and pleasently improved the plans with his vast experience in style and contruction. He was able to use my stained glass in the design and to my surprise his wife refinished my antique stained glass front door. My excitement mounted as I saw the vision for my new cabin become a reality, with a beautiful designed stairway and railing to the loft with a stained glass insert. I could not be more pleased and excited about my new cabin. My sincere thanks to Lance Christenson and his very professional crew for your quality workmanship.. My expectations were beyond what I could have ever imagined."

"<p>All work was done very professionally and on time. If there were any changes we wanted done (even after they started) they were very professional and did what we asked. They are very reasonable on their prices and do QUALITY work.  I would not hesitate to have them do work for us again.</p>"

"This is the second job, John, Daryll, and company have done for us. I like the way they respect our home and take extra steps to keep the job as clean and neat as possible. They have skills that make them perfect for remodel jobs on older homes as well as newer homes. They provide the best "bang for the buck" if you wish to hire pros. And since I myself do not possess the necessary talents to do such fine work, I'm glad they're nearby."

"great did were good job and they look great"

"They were top quality and used excellent materials. They have excellent follow through. They were trustworthy and honest."

"We wish we'd found Dave earlier in the building process. We would have had him take care of the trim and other carpentry as well as doing all the floors. We can't say enough good things about this man's work ethic. He does the work of two people, but he does it better than any other two people we've met. He made the solid oak flooring for our home, installed it, and finished it. He also laid the tile in our entryway, mud room, and two bathrooms (including a marble & slate shower stall.) After the house was "completed", we brought Dave back to help us work on the walkout level. He is the only person we've rehired."

"Contractor met at the site to review the conditions and then provided an estimate. We set a date the crew would arrive and the contractor called several days before to see if they could come a day ahead of schedule. We were delighted they could start early. they arrived promptly at 8:00 AM on the start date and began work. The crew was courteous and worked diligently to finish the job in 2 1/2 days. Each day they cleaned up the site before they left and when the work was completed they cleaned the site very nicely. At several point the contractor had questions about how we wanted the details completed and we were happy to be consulted on these issues. We added a layer of closed cell insulation under the metal roof to help dampen the sound and teh contractor provide the additional material at a very fair price. <br />"

"Went well...we have done business before"

"When we first looked to having this work done we called two local contractors who had been recommended by local flooring supply contractors. They either did not show up for an estimate  and/or return our calls. Next we signed up for Angie's list and contacted Bob because he had a good rating. <br /> <br /> Bob was very good to work with and communicated with us at every step. When we were going to get our estimate done, he called that morning and asked to reschedule so he could finish another job that day. The day of the estimate he could keep the original time, but was also in our area and could come earlier. He figured the price while he was there and offered us a list of references - both customers and businesses. We agreed on the price and he came by the next day with a contract - which included an approximate date. We paid half up front. <br /> <br /> The week of the work we called him and explained our renters had scheduled a party for that Saturday. He assured me the work would be done by Friday. The next day he called and let us know he would drop off his trailer on Wednesday evening and his crew would complete the job by Thursday evening. <br /> <br /> The crew showed up Thursday morning and did the work quickly and nicely. They were very polite and helpful, getting me measurements so I could pick up new thresholds that day, which they also installed. By late afternoon they had finished the work, cleaned up all the debris, and tidied up the leftover flooring. They did a walk through with the tenants (I was unavailable). I called him that evening. We set an appointment the next day and did a walk through and I paid him the second half of the contracted amount. <br /> <br /> When we need any flooring work done in the future, he will be the first one we call. I was exceptionally happy with the work he did and the way he kept in touch with us. He answered his phone or called us. I highly recommend working with ACB Construction."
