Get matched with top major home repair pros (general contractors) in Janesville, WI

"My wife and I bought a summer cottage in Fontana, WI that we wanted to turn into a year-round home in December 2021. This was our first significant remodel of any home we’ve ever owned. At that time, many contractors were very busy and/or very expensive. We discussed our project with at least a dozen potential contractors. We chose MH Renovations, and we are thrilled with that decision. Project. We completely remodeled the existing kitchen and 2 full bathrooms. We replaced all flooring and repainted the entire inside. We replaced and added wood trim in various rooms. We replaced the boiler, added A/C, and replaced a large portion of the electrical system. Value. We felt the quality of workmanship was above average, and the cost was below average. Generally, we agree with the old axiom that you get what you pay for. So, we felt we got more than we paid for. For a couple who’s generally quite frugal, that’s saying a lot. Decisions. With any large project like this, there are a thousand decisions to be made. This contractor seemed to know exactly which decisions they should make and which to let the homeowner make. We were glad to be shielded from the smaller decisions and be asked on the bigger ones. Just right. Communications. Just perfect. Not too much, and we never felt in the dark on anything. Changes. With a large project, we expected we’d want to make some changes during the project. That was true, and the contractor was perfectly happy to accommodate those requests and give us options. Perfect. Schedule. At a time when most contractors were giving start dates of 6-8 months out and more, this contractor quoted us just 3 months to begin. That was about the earliest of any quote. We were thrilled when they even were able to start a month earlier. And after they began, they pressed to keep the project on time, working with various sub-contractors, while shielding us from any of that pain. So our project started early (Feb 2022), completed with the expected duration, and ended early (April 2022). Far exceeded our expectations. Unexpected issues. As with any large project, there will always be some unforeseen issues. For ours, it was the existing electrical system. The subcontracted electrician uncovered ungrounded outlets, missing switch and outlet boxes, wiring comprised of foot-long parts, and bare wires. All you can hope for is that those problems get identified and rectified correctly, and that it doesn’t cost an arm and a leg. Our contractor kept us informed and searched for related, hidden issues once problems became clear. Our contractor genuinely felt bad about this added cost, and very generously did some of the work without adding cost. This is going above and beyond for your customer. Our contractor handling these unexpected issue as well as we could have hoped for. Budget. If we hadn’t added any requests during the project and didn’t uncover the hidden/existing electrical issues, we would haven been right on budget. The unexpected electrical work added ~10% to the entire budget. That overrun was about what we expected when we budgeted for this project, so we felt we came out just fine on budget. Was it fun? Yes! We truly enjoyed our discussions/calls/texts/emails with our contractor. We genuinely liked our contractor, and that made the experience a lot less stressful and painful than it could have been otherwise. These are our people. And we liked their employees and their sub-contractors too. Everyone we encountered was just a pro. Would we hire this contractor again? Definitely. I’m sure we will, and we won’t bother calling anyone else."

"I started the project with simple plans to replace and fix problems in a newly purchased home. brought Top Bros in and them came up with a number of great ideas to improve the look and function of the home. Looks great"

"Generally very good. The tile work looks great. Because we didn’t need grout the 30 sq ft backslash was done in 1 long day."

"It was excellent. I would highly recommend them."

"He installed new windows and a patio door. He also finished some new baseboards and trim for me."

"My wife and I are extremely particular when it comes to our home.  We researched this company on Angie's List coupled with the fact that our neighbor highly recommended them as well.  We really enjoyed working with Martin as his infectious enthusiasm towards quality and customer service really stands out.  No surprises and a quality job was done.  They left no trace of building materials laying around, used high-end materials, and worked around our schedule.  Martin even came back to our house a few days later to explain a few things that we were concerned about - free of charge.  These guys are local and take a great amount of pride in their work.  We have no doubt that they will stand behind their work.  Highly recommended! <br />"

"Being an owner/builder of a new house, I got more quotes for drywall than any other service I hired out. I got quotes from $13,000, all the way to $23,000 for the same scope of work. Dave's quote was somewhere in the middle. When he contacted me about the bid, I told him I was thinking about going with someone else at the lower price range, he offered to take some money off his bid in order to win my business. The other company I was leaning towards wouldn't budge on price without removing items from the scope fo work. So Dave got the job. Previously in my build project, I had some unpleasant experiences with some of the other trades that I hired, so I was pleasantly surprised when Dave and his crew would show up early to the job, and work long hours. Unlike other trades I hired, I never had to worry about him screwing me out of any material costs, cutting corners, or constant excuses for not showing up to work on my job. Dave even accommodated my request for some unique drywalled pockets above each window to accept hidden, recessed window blinds. He did a better job than expected on these areas given the rough window framing, and protruding metal window flanges that could've potentially caused an uneven drywall finish. After the job was over, he offered to come back to do some touch up work if I noticed any blemishes or rough spots after primer had been applied. I begrudgingly took him up on this offer, and his response was eager saying that "you already paid for the job, so I'd be happy to come fix those things". From my experience, this response is shocking...usually after a contractor has been paid, you can't get them to show up for anything. He was friendly, personable, and a great guy to work with. I will be recommending to anyone I know who needs drywall work done."

"I would not hesitate to recommend Nick to anyone! We were in the process of moving and simply could not do the work ourselves. We turned a key over to Nick and he handled the rest. When there were questions he called and when not, he simply got the job done. He has amazing subs and employees that work with him. This guy is nothing but professional, believes in doing great work and puts the customers needs at the top of his list. I am sorry to be leaving Madison simply because I would always know who to call for home repair from now on. Nick! We had three bids all from Angie's List contractors. His prices are very competitive and he's the best. Calling Nick is a no lose proposition. Also, this is the first time I have hired someone from Angie's list and it is the first time I have ever written a review other than a couple times on Yelp. I believe in this guy and I know you should give him a call for a bid!"

"DC Brothers Repair and Remodel were very easy to work with from start to finish. They were on time, prompt with completion and offered tips and advice along the way. We would definitely hire them again!"

"It was fantastic! My approach and driveway were cleared by the time I got home from work. I feel that for one swipe of my driveway it was a bit expensive but that said I do realize it was last minute and convenient. I would definitely work with them again."
