**★★★★★ — Heather Rolapp, Aug. 2016**

> I have used Thunder River Construction for several renovations & home improvement projects. Michael's greatest attribute, in my opinion, is that he almost always says, "yes, we can do that." Several contractors I interviewed told me that they could not complete my vision for the space as I'd like, because what I wanted was not possible. Michael (and Brendan) work to give clients their desired results, even if it means a little more effort on their part. They are professional, understanding & good listeners. My finished projects have been exactly as I envisioned, & the guys at Thunder River did their best to make the process as smooth as possible. They are also quick to admit mistakes (which inevitably will happen with any project) & to correct them. I'd recommend Thunder River Construction to my most discriminating real estate clients.

**★★★★★ — Marilyn Hill Interiors, Feb. 2016**

> I met Michael from Thunder River through mutual clients. From the very beginning, our clients had nothing but great things to say about the quality of home that Michael Ellsworth and his team builds. My clients had done their homework, visiting several homes in construction and recently completed, and comparatively the homes from Thunder River always felt and sounded more solid and quality built.
> When I spoke to Michael about the interiors, and the client's wishes for our clients' home, there was quite a bit that he considered standard in his builds, that others I had worked with considered upgrades.
> Our clients were extremely pleased, and I was impressed. I have worked with Thunder River on another project since, and again, they really produce a quality product.
