Robert Altendorf (the owner) walked us through the process and provided an array of options including deck materials, style of roof for the screen porch and other items we had not taken into consideration (including screening under the portion of the deck covered by the screen porch so we wouldn't get any unwanted visitors in the porch area). His crew was fantastic. They had the old deck down in less than a day and immediately started on building the new deck. The work was of very high quality and the price was well within the range we expected. Most recently one of the screens in the porch are detached during some strong winds and Robert quickly came out and replaced the screening himself. We thoroughly enjoyed working with Robert and we definitely benefited from his expertise and care in addressing any issues that came up. We would highly recommend RJ Construction for any deck projects.

I obtained six different estimates. I selected Ascension Home Contractors because this was a local company and I was impressed with the great reviews. The estimate was thorough and Jimmy took time to explain everything involved. Jimmy went above and beyond on this bathroom renovation. The tile work was excellent, as was the installation of the tub. I special ordered a cast iron tub which Jimmy and his team picked up and delivered. The bathroom was renovated three months ago. Since that time, I've had different people visit the house and I shared pictures of the bathroom online and everyone was super impressed. Ascension did a terrific job with the bathroom remodel and even went above and beyond to fix a few other things. They also installed a new window to the bathroom and it looks great. I highly recommend Ascension Home Contractors and I'll keep them in mind for future work as well.

This is the second time but first review that I used Ascension on a big job. One was for my formal…read moreHair Salon business as a co-owner and other is for the fixing up to sale my rental property. As what many people should do. I took bids for the contract for my rental property and invited Ascensions to participate. I had got as many as 6 bids. I had a couple bids that was just so low that I had to consider that sometimes going cheap isn't the correct way because I had a deadline and had to have good quality of work to get my house on the market with a good price. So I decided to not take the gamble and go cheap and slow. So I decided to go with Ascension for a couple of reasons. One reason is because I had a good customer service experience with Ascension Home Contractors before. The confusion was on how the tiles was to be laid on the Salon floor with stencils or not. Well after half the ceramic floor was already set and pasted on the 1200 sqft. floor. It didn't look like the way I wanted. So I told Jimmy the owner that I didn't like it. Without an augment as I expected from many. Jimmy gathered his team the next day and picked up about 600 sqft. ceramic tile and reinstalled it the way I wanted. The second reason is that Ascension is like a one stop shop. They do everything. They will project management for you so you do not have to stress and find other contractors. If you need junk removal, house cleaning, tree cutting, or anything related. Ascensions have the resources to get the job done the right way and fast. Yeah I paid more of the top end for Ascension but I had peace of mind and got the job done the right way with out the worry that someone may do a bad job or run off with my money. I had a few Handymen that does work that was not insured or licensed. So be careful about that. Those are the people that may not have a big team but will give you a lower price and you will just have to take a gamble with. Ascensions is License and Insured and it is a reason why you have to pay a premium when you want good work done with good customer service. So this is why I would recommend Ascensions Home Contractors for your home or business. Also Jimmy the owner is very knowledgeable and will inherit your project as if it is were his own and make the right recommendations for your goals.

We had used D & M over the years for a new roof on 2 different houses, new gutters, new siding and a new pair of sliding patio doors. They always did great work, but we didn't know that they also fixed chimneys. Todd knew immediately what needed to be done and where it was leaking just by looking at the water stains on the brick. D & M replaced the cement crown and a section of brick, as well as a few smaller repairs. That was in February and not one drop of water has fallen into the fireplace since.

Custom Concepts Construction (CCC) did two major jobs for us in late 2025, mostly involving…read morereplacing wood with James Hardie fiber-cement materials, other carpentry work, and gutters. We are extremely pleased with their work. We chose CCC for three reasons: 1. They are Elite Preferred James Hardie installers who carefully follow the Hardie standards of installation. 2. The co-owners and lead carpenter are experienced with all aspects of residential carpentry, having built homes and additions in the past. 3. The co-owner in charge of sales, Michael Swank, gave authoritative, unpressured advice and presented a masterfully written, detailed proposal with a detailed description and all charges. The price of their proposal was similar to, or lower than, those we received from other exterior contractors. One of our jobs was to replace all wood siding and trim with Hardie siding, trim, and panels on two three-story towers. I expected some difficulties with scaffolding over a stairwell, but the lead carpenter Kerdy and his assistants did the job masterfully, resulting in carefully executed, beautiful results. The second job was to renovate our 100-year-old garage by not only replacing sheathing, siding, and trim but also installing new interior wood beams (rafter ties and collar ties) and additional studs recommended by an engineer to stabilize the sagging garage framing structure. They skillfully manipulated the framing to straighten out the rear garage wall and front central post, which were bowing outward, as well as to straighten out the sagging ridge. During this process they erected temporary support posts inside the garage. We were glad to have hired a team who knew what they were doing with framing as well as exteriors. They also installed a new Pella window and figured out how to do the problematic moving of our shed next to the garage. Their subcontractor competently replaced all of our gutters and downspouts with larger ones. The project manager Daniel Harper, a co-owner of the company, directed the carpenters, handled the logistics of the job, and ensured the high quality of the finished product. We found CCC to be a well-organized and responsive small firm that is easy to communicate with. It was a particular pleasure to interact with Kerdy, the lead carpenter, who always provided clear and polite explanations. Billing was expertly handled by Katherine, who took our credit card payments without charging a fee. In summary, we highly recommend this company for exterior work!

It's…read morenot the cheapest of renovators, but if you want flawless work and professional service this is the team to get it done. It's the little things that count: -laying down tarp or coverings as to not track dirt/work mess. -becoming a part of your daily routine without intruding on your day-to-day activities (and they will be there long if you have massive projects) -keeping in touch via text or email if they are not showing up a day -superb detailing in everything... from painting, to cabinet installation... they will make your vision come alive -owner Matt, checking in periodically on progress -trustworthy advice on things that need to be fixed things that don't need to be fixed -one stop shop -- I needed hardwood flooring done in the new kitchen, for example, and they linked me with someone who coordinated work with them Minor downsides: -surprise costs like hauling trash or materials (Always budget more, you may not get a clear scope of how much exactly after labor/materials will cost. The estimate only factors a general idea, so be clear up front.) -had to rush them a bit to stick to timeline (always fast during demo, but towards end gets a little slower. was easily remedied when asked them to communicate more on which work days they would be in/out) If you have a massive dream project, they are the people to get it done. We have met many contractors of all different areas, and always encounter difficulty in response time, details and cleanliness (this is a big one for me). Willis is one of those gems, albeit pricey but I trusted them coming into our home daily and still trust them for consults on small projects.

For our first-ever home remodeling, we decided to go with Matthew Willis' team to help us renovate…read moreour basement. We worked with them for a total of 2 months in turning around an empty basement to an inviting space with a wet bar, entertainment room, new bathroom, and playroom. It turned out to be a great decision to use Willis with their constant communication, knowledgeable team headed by project manager Luis, and their ability to turn our vision into reality. After a walk-through of our dream basement, Matt was timely and thorough with our project estimates which we really appreciated. He answered any questions we had without hesitation, which made him very approachable. Throughout the entire project, we knew we could communicate with him via email or text, and he was always very up-to-date with how our project was progressing. He also came by every few weeks, and he made sure everything was going as planned. Luis, our project manager, was also a great person to work with. He made sure that my husband and I were happy with his work, and whenever we came to a hiccup (and there always will be minor hiccups!), he would always consult us before continuing on. He was more than flexible with any of our adjustments/changes and stayed on task with his team. If we plan on doing another renovation, we are definitely looking to hire Willis' team once again. I would recommend them to my friends and family as well.
