From the initial meeting, to assisting in locating a lot, the design process and the quality of workmanship put forth by everyone has made this residential project almost stress free. They help council him on staying on budget while still being able to have the quality he was looking for. The house was reasonably priced along with the lot, the expertise from the entire staff and subcontractors is well worth bragging about! We are looking forward to having this project complete, which by the way is right on schedule, and the future memories that will be made! Thank you Scherrer Construction, you get a 5 star rating from me! **★★★★★ — Scott Voge, Sept. 2017** > By far the best builders around. They are great to do business with and will give you the best quality products you can get. **★★★★★ — Amanda Proulx, June 2017** > We have worked with both Kris and Ben at Scherrer Construction on numerous residential and commercial projects doing tile. It's always easy working with Scherrer!! A great builder that takes the time to work out the details and get the job done right! > > \- Branden and Amanda Proulx with Proulx Custom Tile LLC **Comment from Scherrer Construction:** > Amanda, thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, it is greatly appreciated and we truly value our relationship with you guys! **★★★★★ — Jared M, Feb. 2017** > Having worked with Scherrer Construction for the past several years on other various construction projects, it was without hesitation to hire them for the construction of my new home. Throughout the entire process, Scherrer was responsive, professional, and service-oriented. The quality of work far exceeded my expectations as well as their experience and expertise they consistently produced. Kris Rhyner, Sr. Project Manager, did an outstanding job overseeing all of the work from start to finish. He visited daily, answered all of my questions, and was very flexible with my schedule. I would highly recommend Scherrer Construction to anyone who wants to have the best possible experience building or renovating a home. **Comment from Scherrer Construction:** > Thank you Jared! We appreciate your support and value the relationship we have built! **★★★★★ — M. R., Jan. 2017** > I have consulted with Jim Scherrer and his staff on a project in the recent weeks and found them to be very professional, open to my ideas and mindful of my budget. They are friendly, respond quickly to my concerns, and offer suggestions to make the project great. I look forward to working with Scherrer Construction in the very near future. Definitely recommend them for your home remodel or new home construction. **★★★★★ — LaVerne Duncan, Jan. 2017** > When we decided to replace our roof, add a room and renovate our kitchen, we knew we needed to rely on a reliable, respected and competent firm. That is why we chose Scherrer Construction. Both of us have had positive experiences with Scherrer Construction during our working careers so selecting Scherrer Construction for our home renovation was an easy decision. We are very happy to have made that decision! > > The success of our project is largely due to Project Manager, Kris Rhyner, and Scherrer Construction. Kris listened well to our wants, needs, ideas and thoughts and then offered insights and suggestions that might enhance and/or provide cost-saving measures. He was respectful to our space being mindful that we planned on living in our home through the construction process. Without reservation, we can say that all of the sub-contractors and Scherrer employees conveyed the same respect for our home and us, as did Kris. > > The construction timeline was a wonderful tool for us. It helped us understand the steps in the process. Only a couple of changes were made to the timeline and those were due primarily to weather, material delays or to accommodate our schedules. Kris worked to keep us aware of timeline alterations (and there were only a few). The three-month start to finish timeline was on target. > > We are grateful that Scherrer Construction expanded into the home renovation market. Continuing the family tradition to provide excellent client services and workmanship to all projects, large or small, is evident not only for our renovation but in other projects that we have experienced. **Comment from Scherrer Construction:** > Wow LaVerne, thank you so much for the kind words! We appreciate your support and value the relationship we have built! ## Selected projects - [Lost Nation Residence](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lost-nation-residence-pj-vj~7134240) - Location: Lauderdale Lakes, WI - Photos: 17 - [Wisconsin Farmhouse](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/wisconsin-farmhouse-pj-vj~1375432) - Location: Milwaukee, WI - Photos: 25 - Description: This modern farmhouse nestled into a working farm in the bucolic setting of southeastern Wisconsin.
