Get matched with top addition to existing structure builders in Thiensville, WI

"I contacted Kristi Minser after seeing her website and reading the reviews here.  After about 60 minutes on the phone one evening, I was completely comfortable.  It was just a "click!"  
Kristi designed a 24 x 28 "shed" only 20 feet from the existing garage.  We live in a 3 story Georgian home so having something that looked like a pole barn was the furthest thing from my mind.  What we got was a very serviceable building for my husband's stuff with an upstairs for storage and future usage.  Kristi managed to work it so the single garage door is accessible from the existing driveway with only a short concrete pad.  The floor is concrete. It is 2x4 construction with ample lighting. The yellow siding with white trim matches the stucco of our home.
So that was my husband's part of the project and he is happy.  He's got big plans for retirement in that "shed." But let's see what I got!
From the garage door on the"shed", we turn right through an aluminum gate on the decorative aluminum fence.  This takes us onto the "piazza" - a 20' x 20' expanse of concrete stamped and colored with a pattern reminiscent of Paris streets. The side bordering the garage has an 18" open space and clematis vines clamber up the wall.  A winding path leads to the kitchen door past the rose bushes edged with lavender.  Directly across is a 28'x10' porch.  There's white wicker on one end, room for a table in the middle and another seating area on the other end.   The roof is supported by round pillars. We'd planned on railings but eliminated them as we wanted every square inch we could use.
We entertain endlessly on our piazza and porch.  The cool thing is the "front" of the shed with its balanced facade and double doors, faces the yard.  This makes it appear far more like a "summer kitchen" from the 1700s than a modern building.  It complements the house perfectly.
We say the shed is from Mars and the porch is from Venus.  The design is all Kristi Minser.
All that being said, every single subcontractor was easy to work with and willing to be "creative" if necessary.  The few small problems were addressed easily with a text to Kristi.  It's obvious that she trusts these people and with good reason.
PS  Little tiny misleading thing: Kristi did not do the roses and lavender or clematis.  Everything else is true!"

"Meinen Homes helped us finish part of our basement adding a bedroom, multi-purpose room, and full bathroom. It is difficult to overstate how impressed I am with this team. It starts with Jim but the entire team operates with extremely high integrity striving for transparency and fairness in pricing. Jim initiates exceptional daily communication explaining who would be coming and going at various time throughout the day. I was extremely impressed with how flexible and accommodating the team was as surprises came up. The crew also kept the job moving once they began. I can count on one hand the number of days someone wasn't at our house making progress once project kicked off. Everyone Jim brought in maintained respectful and fun interactions with my entire family. All the subcontractors were also highly capable, worked quickly, and did a nice quality job. The team clearly pursued excellence in the quality of their work, happily doing rework when a task did not meet our expectations. They did everything possible to make sure we were happy with the product. I can't recommend these guys enough and look forward to future opportunities to partner!"

"I have used JM for a number of projects from Roofing to Concrete floor in garage. I learned long ago that you get what you pay for. JM might not be the cheapest contractor but the quality of the work is second to none. They put a new staircase outside the front of my home that has 12 steps with railings and I will get many years out of that it is so sturdy and looks fantastic. My home is very old and can be hard to work on but it didn't matter what I asked them to do, they found a way. I will pay a premium for work done at this level."

"Josh did a great job remodeling our kitchen, designed and building a new front porch and siding out entire house. Everything was done flawlessly."

"contacted T&K Builders after discovering mold in my exterior wall, and their response was immediate and professional. The team quickly demolished the affected area and installed the necessary structural supports to safely hold the roof. Everyone on site worked efficiently, communicated clearly, and maintained a high level of professionalism throughout the process. They kept the site clean, protected materials from the elements, and were extremely organized—especially important since we received over four inches of snow the following day. From start to finish, the experience was seamless and stress-free. Their attention to detail, workmanship, and respect for the property truly set them apart. I would absolutely recommend T&K Builders for any future projects and would not hesitate to call them again."

After reading Watry Homes reviews on this site, we contacted them in March. I had reached the point where I no longer wanted to maintain the house, and after researching siding options and speaking to other home owners, was seeking a contractor to install what I believed was the best siding solution, Hardy Plank. It was our intention to have the work done before the summer months, to avoid the disruption and scheduling conflicts which inevitably happen in high season.

Scott Watry came out and inspected/measured the house on March 17, presented window options and gave an overview of the process. Within a week we had an estimate and we gave him the commitment assuming the work would begin as soon as materials were received within a few weeks. The project did not get underway, however, until June 4th, the day I was leaving for two weeks of travel. My wife provided daily updates in my absence, and glowing reviews of Scott's workers, specifically, Paul and Rob who came in and installed the windows and doors. I met these guys later and they are true professionals who pay close attention to detail. The siders were also efficient and meticulous in their work, and cleaned up every day. The crew had a few guys, but Roberto, who appeared to be their lead, was very responsive to every question or request, and went out of his way to be accommodating. Splattered paint on a portion of our patio and sill appeared to be their only misstep.

In the end, we have a job that met our expectations in terms of quality, fit and finish. It was the punch list of several small items and requests which was emailed to Scott in mid-June that made the final conclusion of the project a little rocky. It turned out that part of the roof over our den did not receive adequate flashing necessary to prevent a leak that ensued after five days of rain. Scott insisted that it was the result of layers of caulk installed by someone else, inadequately sealing an inside corner of the roof. Dan, who was sent out later to make the repair, said the caulk and sealing had been done by their siders, and was still wet. Scott agreed to place a drywall patch in the interior ceiling where there was water damage, but I spent the better part of a day painting the ceiling, trim and walls to original condition once this was done. This put a damper on an otherwise great experience with Watry.

We totally respect Watry's workers and the diligence they exemplified every day. My feelings about Scott with him not taking ownership of the leak and the damage it caused was unfortunate because it would have been so easy to simply do so without casting blame on others. I also feel it would have been appropriate to personally stop by at the project's conclusion (today), to ensure he had a satisfied customer. As it was, he called and asked me to give a check for final payment to his worker before he left, without asking me if I was completely satisfied. In my view, the size and scope of our project would dictate that he do so. 

However, I would not be hesitant to recommend them as a reference primarily because of his crews.
