Brengel, June 2018** > Sweeney was professional and friendly. We were extremely pleased with the process and the outcome. We would definitely use them again! **★★★★★ — Vault Interiors & Design, LLC, July 2016** > We have partnered with Sweeney Construction on several joint projects, and our clients are very satisfied with the professionalism, timelines, cleanliness and friendliness of their crews and sub-contractors. The quality of their work is first-rate. They are also very easy to communicate with. > > We look forward to working with them on future collaborations! **★★★★★ — Doris, Oct. 2014** > Tim Sweeney is a great communicator and hires topnotch subcontractors. When Sweeney Construction did the renovation of our basement two years ago, every component of the work was completed on the predicted calendar date and to our satisfaction. When I complained about some of the electrical work, the contractor returned immediately and corrected the problems. I especially appreciate their handyman service. Most recently Matt Foss replaced woodpecker-damaged cedar shingles promptly and had the proper tools to do the work. **★★★★★ — trish60, Oct. 2014** > We've hired them for several projects, both large and small (the one I've done a time/cost estimate on below was the most recent project). They do excellent work and stand behind their work to boot. We've been very happy with them and wouldn't hesitate to hire them again! **★★★★★ — elnbkr, Feb. 2014** > I had looked for a service provider to address some maintainance issues at my home but never thought of this firm since they seemed to be oriented toward larger projects. well, I was wrong. They provide all sorts of services including "handyman" sorts of work. The beauty of what they do is they bring the big project skill and professionalism to even the smallest task. Needless to say I consider them a "go to" resource for all my home projects. ## Selected projects - [Pergola Remodel and Outdoor Living Space in Madison, WI](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/pergola-remodel-and-outdoor-living-space-in-madison-wi-pj-vj~7726636) - Location: Madison, WI - Photos: 16 - Description: www.sweeneydesign.com REMODELING NEED The homeowner of this classic center hall colonial adored her mature garden retreat, framed by two beautiful timber pergolas—one large and one small—that had stood gracefully for decades.
