Builders in Stockton, IL

“I am happy with my remodeling project by Embassy Construction. They stayed late the night before we had to move in to make sure everything was ready for us. My new kitchen is exactly how I imagined it.”

“This contractor was ON TIME, efficient, clean and courteous in providing the materials, crew and following the contract agreement as stated.”

“Josh Riess Construction provided construction services on a house we were renovating and did an excellent job. Their craftsmanship, quality, and attention to detail was top notch! They completed the project on time and made sure all of our expectations were met. I would highly recommend them as a contractor.”

“When we began our search for a contractor to build a modern interpretation of a Frank Lloyd Wright Usonian style house in the Galena Territories we were more than a little concerned about finding someone to undertake this very custom project. Luckily we found Bill Miller and Galena Hillside Homes. Despite the fact that there isn’t a single right angle in the entire house, Bill was not at all hesitant in taking on the project. From the beginning planning discussions through the completion, Bill and his team consistently went the extra mile to be sure that every detail was performed exactly to the architect’s vision and our expectations. Bill and every one of his subcontractors went out of their way to keep us fully informed of progress details and willingly accepted our extensive input throughout the project. From the custom framing and custom colored concrete floors to the individual masonry and cedar paneling and soffits, each job was done with attention to detail and artistry. One of the essential elements to the Usonian design is the custom built in cabinetry, shelving, and seating, and the challenge is finding a craftsman who can accomplish it. Bill’s son Jonathan was more than up to the task and is truly a master craftsman with wood. His results went beyond our considerable expectations. None of our questions were ever too small and Bill and all of his crew were always available by phone, email, and text to answer every question which came up throughout the project and made sure to get it right each step of the way. Bill made what could have been a very difficult endeavor a pleasurable experience. We highly recommend Bill Miller and Galena Hillside Homes for your home construction or remodeling needs.”

“Remodeled our entire bathroom and it turned out incredible! Have done several other small projects and repairs as well. Work is always stellar and done in an exceptionally timely manner!!”

“I have never worked with a contractor that communicated better and understood the customer needs the way that Matt and his team do. Although we bought his spec-house, Matt has been available for every little issue or adjustment needed. He brings new design and construction details into each of his projects, and creates a truly unique home for the client.”

“David Slack, owner of Aegis Construction, is by far the most competent, professional contractor we've ever done business with. He completely renovated our basement that had sustained extensive water damage. The entire project was explained in detail after we had discussed our ideas, with David working directly with our insurance company, and giving his invaluable insight on all of our options. Everything was done on time, within budget, and exactly as promised. He is such a perfectionist. We couldn't be more pleased, and would highly recommend him to anyone considering a home improvement project.”

“We chose First Galena to oversee the building and construction of our All-American Home and could not be more pleased. Nathan has gone above and beyond all expectations in designing the floor plan, guiding us through decisions on interior amenities, and coordinating all details. He has kept us well informed of the progress on our home and the site throughout the parallel construction process of a modular home. We highly recommend this family-run business without reservation. Everyone we have worked with has been phenomenal as our dream home becomes reality.”

“Gary has done several home improvement projects for us which were excellent and completed expeditiously. He remodeled our kitchen which included installing cabinets, countertops, and an island. Gary also installed an oak/tile fireplace. When we had a leak in our roof, he replaced a portion of our ceiling with drywall and plastering. All his work has been completed on time and with excellent workmanship. We will continue to hire Gary for any home renovation projects we need.”

“Don did a lot of projects for us in two homes. Storage in attic, two kitchens, one bathroom. He was reliable and I have never had any contractor clean up after his work than Don Probably cleaner than when he started. We moved away or would still be using him. Don is a good guy!”
