From the…read morevery first conversation, he demonstrated professionalism, deep expertise, and a genuine commitment to bringing our space back to life. Every step of the process was handled with care. He provided clear communication, thoughtful recommendations, and a level of craftsmanship that's increasingly rare. He didn't just "fix" things; he restored them with precision and pride, making the final result even better than the original. The team was punctual, respectful of our home, and incredibly organized. They kept the project on schedule, maintained a clean work environment, and made sure we understood what was happening at each stage. We wouldn't hesitate to hire them again or recommend them to anyone looking for top‑tier restoration work. If you want quality, integrity, and beautiful results, this is the contractor you want.

Marcus and his assistant, Devon, came out yesterday to repair our back deck. The deck was built 20…read moreyears ago without professional guidance, so some of the woodwork was kind of wonky. The top part of the deck, made from teak, is still fine, but all the rails (aside from the main supports) and bottom of the stairs were pine, so many of those parts needed replacement due to wood rot. Additionally, the slats that framed around the porch weren't attached properly, so Marcus took them all off and reattached them correctly and securely. He also removed an electrical outlet that wasn't working and capped off the wiring. The baseboards were also replaced with PVC. It was a full-day project, and these guys worked hard. I can't say enough for their professionalism--from the quality work they did (plus explaining everything to me), and beginning and ending the day with cordial words. Such politeness is not a give in these days. The day began with a friendly greeting and ended in the evening with, "Have a nice night," not to mention polite interactions throughout the day. They also cleaned up perfectly, removing all the old wood. Even though they went beyond what we discussed, and Marcus did the extra work (wooden slats that weren't attached properly and a piece of wood behind the stairs that was replaced with PVC which we hadn't talked about initially) Marcus stuck to his original estimate. ***I would recommend these guys without reservation.*** I will also add that their pricing was very fair with an estimate given ahead of time. It was an stress-free day. Thanks Marcus and Devon.

We had Terry remodel our 1940s bathroom - electrical, plumbing, tile, tub, painting, toilet, sink,…read morelighting, cabinet, exhaust fan, grab bars, counter, plaster repair - the works! It's now been about 4 months since he finished the work and each day I look at our new bathroom and think "wow!' He did a great job! He was patient and always responsive to any questions or issues, and cleaned up each day. Great workmanship too. He started out by measuring and answering any questions we had, offering ideas here and there but letting us make our own decisions. Unlike some other contractors, he did not give fancy 3D architectural renderings, nor did he accompany us to each supplier to pick out products. Here's what his process was, which was perfect for us. We received a proposal contract which listed each item or task, along with a cost allowance for each item. If we chose something more expensive than its allowance, the final price would reflect the increase. If what we chose cost less than the allowance, the final cost would go down by that much. So we had a bottom line price from the start and would have the final decision on expenses. He then also gave us a list of his suggested suppliers from which to pick out all of the products. We worked with those suppliers to make selections at their respective showrooms (they work with TLC regularly), and they forwarded our selections to Terry. A few selections we made were from suppliers not on his list, which was fine, but the places he suggested were where most of the items came from. When all selections were made, he provided us with a revised proposal contract reflecting our selections and revised costs. Then he - not us - did the ordering from each vendor to insure that all of the parts and pieces fit together and would work, plus that way his contractor discount was applied. His final contract to us was transparent and showed all prices. No additional markups, no change order fees, no nonsense. If someone wants computer-generated architectural renderings, having him present at each supplier meeting, one central showroom where every needed product and samples are all in one place, then this type of contractor isn't likely for you. If however, you want a remodeling contractor that not only provides the quote but also does the actual work himself, with reliable suppliers that work with him, with a fair price and a minimal amount of stress (if that's possible lol), then TLC's a good choice. Would we recommend TLC Contracting? If you haven't it already guessed: the answer is absolutely!

We had to have a bathroom redone for a second time and we called Kowalske in Delafield this time…read more Staci came out and looked at everything and asked questions about how it was done and if we wanted to maybe make changes. She redesigned the entire bathroom and it actually works out better for us. We needed a handicapped accessible bathroom and she was very conscious of making sure we were comfortable with every decision and action from beginning to end. Then we met with Eric, Brittany and Staci to go over everything from beginning to end. They all walked us through everything and how we could track daily updates. Through the process, they communicated constantly to make sure things were going good. Martin was also incredible every time he was here. He was also very conscious to make sure I was comfortable throughout the whole process. We couldn't have asked for 4 better people to work with. If we ever decide to update our Kitchen, I hope we get the same 4 people. I would highly recommend Kowalske and their team.

A corner section of the gutters in front of my house was leaking water into the walkway below,…read morewhich caused a lot of ice problems last winter, so I wanted to get that repaired before the coming winter. The company I used in the past for roofing/gutter issues had closed, so I reached out to AD Roofing based on a recommendation from my realtor. As far as I can tell this issue has been resolved. One of their technicians cleaned and re-caulked the corner section and I haven't noticed any water below it since. The only "complaint" I have is that I didn't know what exactly they had done until a few days later when I reached out to find out and I didn't know how much I was being charged until a bill arrived in the mail. I'm glad it wasn't an expensive job and they could get it done so quickly and easily. I just wish there was a little more communication so I was in the loop right away about what was being done and how much it would cost.

My new roof looks great. I felt they were very fair in pricing & honest. Would hire again and would definitely recommend.

I have had the "pleasure" of living in a Tim Bierman-built house for the last four years. Tim…read moreoversaw the construction of my home as well as my neighbors' homes. After completing construction, Tim was kind enough to leave us all with the gift that keeps giving - shoddy construction - including cheap materials, improperly graded surfaces, improperly installed doors and windows, and improper flashing, just to name a few of the hidden treats we have all discovered. Fixing Tim's inferior craftsmanship has cost us all significant money, time and frustration. Tim is unfit to call himself a professional contractor or builder. He should not be trusted to undertake even the most simple projects - as I have seen first-hand, he is incapable of installing a sliding door rightside up. When confronted about his amateur work, he refuses to accept blame or stand by his work, and is only capable of making excuses and running the other way. Tim is a coward and a conman, only out to turn a profit and leave his clients with years of problems and bills, when we have no choice but to hire professional craftsmen to fix his incompetent work. Do not trust or hire this man, you will be sorry. Sincerely, A disatisfied homeowner who has been "Biermaned"

After many long years of waiting, we found our dream house this past fall. Unfortunately, the…read morehouse we chose has cedar siding, which usually means painting every 3-5 years and touching up in between. With three young children and a busy schedule, that sounded like the stuff of my nightmares. Thankfully, Rhino Shield has put an end to the maintenance cycle associated with frequent painting. We contacted our local Rhino Shield branch in Brookfield, WI and got the process started quickly. Within 48 hours we had met with a sales associate and got a complete estimate for the work our home would need. While the existing paint was not in terrible shape, there were many areas beginning to chip and boards with rot that would need to be replaced. The estimate included all of the prep work and wood replacement. Our job was put on a wait list because this is a busy time of year for home maintenance. Lucky for us, there was a cancelation and the workers were able to start just a week after we signed the contract. The crew was very professional. They remained socially distant, never needed to enter our house, and cleaned up every day. They also called ahead when the weather was too inclement to work. The work happened in four phases: 1. Prep: sanding board replacement, shrug trimming, outdoor light removal, and taping. 2. Priming: this was a sticky, glue-like primer that appeared colorless and gluey. It was sprayed on and left to cure. 3. Rhinoshield coating: this was the colored, paint-like material. It was sprayed on. 4. Reassembly: lights were put up, shutters were hung, and everything was cleaned up. From prep to finished coating, it took about 8 days to complete our home. Our only criticism was that things felt a bit disorganized and our sales person was not entirely familiar with the financing process. However, the entire office staff was not present due to the Covid 19 crisis, so they were working with minimal staff. I would recommend getting a complete copy of the loan terms before the project begins to ensure the financing options are clear. Overall, we are extremely pleased with our Rhinoshield. We can still see the beautiful wood grain, but not longer dread the perpetual need to paint! I definitely recommend this route for anyone looking for a maintenance free forever home!

We signed our contract 11/2017 with Randy, whom took pictures of our house before he left…read more Contractor #1 started working on the house 4/2018. All was good until he was finished. There was a lot of overspray on our foundation, deck, furniture, chimney, brand new roof etc., and the trim job around the house was terrible, def not "professional". Contractor #1 was very irritated that we were pointing out things that needed fixing. It was agreed that after our new windows were installed, when he came back to touch up around the windows he would fix the trim and other issues around the house. (he did fix the overspray on our deck, and tried fixing the chimney and the roof) Things just got worse from there, first there was "flashing" with the paint job around the whole house. Then, eventually there was bubbling on the East side of the house. Contractor #1 ended up coming back twice to "fix" the flashing and the bubbling.....the East side of the house looked even worse, bubbles were gone but the way it was fixed ruined the wood grain look of the aluminum siding, and there was still flashing. We did express our dissatisfaction regarding the look of the siding, plus there were some dents....and not all the overspray was removed from our house. There were also still issues with the trim. And then.....the bubbling came back, even worse than before. Now we are getting upset....just want to be done. Wanting our money back, but were told they would get this right, we were now part of the Rinoshield Family. In comes crew #2.... At this point it was agreed that John, the job manager would be out here and make sure everything was done right, he would be here to do the walk around when they finished.....they repainted the entire house, scraping the bubbling on East side, fixing the trim....nothing was done regarding the dents, when they were done John was not here to do the walk around with us as agreed, nor did he contact us to do so. The next time we spoke was because again there were bubbles forming on the East side of the house. Also, at this point Crew #2 had sprayed so much paint on some areas of our house that it was bumpy and rough and on other areas there wasn't enough, among other issues still not taken care of from the first Painter. This leads us to 5/2019, we are now dealing with David, no more John, he sends one of his "crews" to come out to look at the house....they are in disbelief. They take dozens of pictures and actually go directly to David to show him the problems.... He claims to have never been shown any pictures. Now on to 8/2019.... Now we have to say, Rhinoshield has one thing going for them....they did come back, they did send crews to "fix" the issues. During the summer we had discussed our worry of this happening again, we discussed the unprofessionalism on his part with his lack of communication, the large dent not getting fixed, we even discussed the contract and our worry regarding this happening after the two year mark where you end up having to pay for the labor...to which he agreed to extend that part of our contract (which we never saw). We gave him a list of things that needed fixing, we went over the list with him as we walked around the house. We also mentioned our lack of faith regarding the product and that we really just wanted our money back. Again, we were told this would all be fixed....each and every time they were bringing in their "best crew". Onto Crew #3.....they started on the bubbling on the East side of the house. They stripped and pressure washed the house for 2 weeks....with no regards to our property....no precaution was taken with regards to our landscaping or our house. All that water going down the side of our house, nothing was put down to draw the water away from the house. Nor to keep all that stripped off paint off of EVERYTHING! We had water seeping into our basement foundation (head of the crew telling us we must have foundations issues), we even had water forced in through our brand new windows in our dining room (which they did clean up), professionals would have known better. As of now the house is repainted, the bubbling is gone...BUT, the color is off, the framing around the windows is now dented and if there were a couple dents on the house before (from the first painter) there are dozens and dozens now... the whole entire side is dentedThis entire time we were dealing with crew #3, we had sent David text messages, VM to call us, and emails. He would return emails but refused to respond to text or call us back. Now we've been pushed onto Ben. Again we've asked for our money back. At this point Rhinoshield refuses to give us their insurance information, the info on the contract is false insurance info. By the way, we hired Rhino shield, our contract is with Rhino shield, they themselves hired the crews to carry out their contract they had with US!! Now we are getting the runaround...beware!! Do not hire Rhino Shield!!!
