Builders in Longview, IL

“We used this builder for a new home build and we were very pleased with their work. They built a beautiful home for our family. Their bidding is accurate and if you happen to change/add anything along the way that will change the cost, they let you know what it will be and you sign off on it. They did quality work and they did it quickly and efficiently. They guide the homeowner through the process of choosing features one step at a time so that it's never overwhelming. The contractor manages all the different teams of workers--plumbers, electricians, etc. with professionalism and the homeowner is free to enjoy the building process. If you experience any problems, even after your home is built, they are quick to come and remedy them. Thirteen years later, we are still very happy with our home.”

“Darcy built our dream home in 2000. It is a magnificent piece of work, with many ingenuous ideas and custom additions that add to it's total uniqueness and beauty. The home is close to 4,000 sq ft. It is 2 stories, and has 4 bedrooms with custom closets, 4 and 1/2 baths, an upper level toy room, and a gift wrapping/storage room. The main level has a gorgeous custom kitchen with fireplace, a huge mudroom with utility sink and plenty of storage, a 2 story great room with fireplace and balcony, a beautiful office with French doors, and lovely dining room. The master bedroom is on the main level. The master bedroom and the kitchen have twin bump out bays with French doors that lead onto the patio. The full finished basement is complete with a full bath and has a huge fireplace, and a custom built "dog room", with a raised tub for easy canine bathing, and a walk out door to easily accommodate the comings and goings of pets. There are so many storage closets that even I, a huge pack rat, had empty shelves! The house also is heated and cooled with geo-thermal, with Darcy co-ordinating the installation of the system with the HVAC company. Darcy doesn't build many homes from scratch due to his refusal to lower his standards, and thus his price, as a home is being built. However, this did not deter us, and we were soo fortunate that he decided to take our project on. Yes, it was not a cheap build, however, it still stands today (unfortunately for me, with a new owner) as the standout home in Douglas County, Illinois. The basement was dug on March 2, 2000, and we were moving in on Oct 2nd of 2000. Not only did Darcy and his crew and sub-contractors do superior work, they were very timely with the build. Now that I have written about the home that Darcy built for us, I miss it even more than ever. It was a once in a time experience, and the 5 years we lived in the home were the happiest years of my life! So, thank you, Darcy for the experience and the happy memories.”

“I used CloudBuilders to reroof a 2nd story sunroom with 3 sky lights. They gave me options on material and explained pros and cons per item, as well as costs associated with the decision. I like that they were all friendly courteous and professional. Cleaned up work area every night as it was a multiple day job. Highly recommend”

“Our experience with Drake Homes has been one amazing ride and true professionalism, from our first meeting clear thru to our walk thru. We took parts of a floor plan from a newspaper clipping several years old and incorporated some floor plans from two other house layouts. The "Drake Team" put all of these ideas, concepts, and plans together and designed our new beautiful and amazing home!!! Each contractor, individual, or team member were professionals at their trade, quality work and always willing to answer any questions we might have. Steve, Mary, Avery, Ryan, Sarah, and Alex have made our house building experience easier and truly enjoyable!! We don't only have a new beautiful home, but have new friends.”

“We hired Nelson Builders to fix our entryway that our original home builder had built incorrectly. During the rehab project Matt Nelson personally assisted with the project. His knowledge and skill for understanding framing, electrical, finishing, and attention to detail impressed my husband and I. It is rare to find a builder who truly knows how to build quality, well-designed homes. I cannot speak highly enough about our positive experience. I only wish we would have found him sooner, we would have loved for him to have designed and built our entire home. Nelson Builders are different than any other builder because they don't skip on quality and there truly is such close attention to detail. They were able fix and transform our home into what we always wanted. We are so thankful for Matt's help in fixing our entryway! I've included a Before & After picture so you can see the great work by Nelson Builders.”

“It was truly an honor to build with McGuire Custom Homes. The attention to detail was impeccable. It is not easy to build ‘custom’, as there are a lot of decisions to make and a budget to adhere to. McGuire Homes was on top of it the through the entire process while providing the guidance we needed to insure we had the home of our dreams! McGuire Custom Homes delivers just that ... a ‘home’, not just a house.”

“Hired Aaron Gillison of Applewood Builders for an addition and kitchen/laundry remodel. Excited to get started and will update on progress”

“Shane remodeled both of our bathrooms at the same time and did a superb job! Our house was built by a brick mason and presents a lot of unique challenges for any construction project. We had him back to build custom shelving in one of the bedrooms and are on the schedule again to have our kitchen done. Highly recommend Custom Home Updates.”

“Removed existing cement porch, roof support and sidewalk. Replaced all with new, widened sidewalk and added reinforcement as necessary. The work was completed within the stated timeframe. The same workers were here for the duration of the project. All work was explained to the homeowners. Work was neat, clean up was prompt and the actual cost matched the estimate. Everyone was polite. The work that was done was better quality than the original structures and has improved the value and look of our home. Overall, we were very pleased with the project.”

“These two fellas (I think they're brothers) built my old lady's wheelchair ramp back in 2011. They did one hell of a good job. The rand was a lot nicer than all the wooden ramps that I've seen, heretofore .”
