Pat is wonderful to work with. He is attentive and he listens to your ideas and tries to accommodate them. He is honest and respectful and our satisfaction was his number one priority. Pat takes pride in building a top quality home and he expects only the best from all of the contractors he hires. All of the contractors were easy to work with. We had an issue with a painter and he corrected it and dealt with it. If you are looking to bulild a quality home and to have someone take care of th process, I would recommend Pat and his team to assist you. Not only he is easy to work with but he is extremely knowledgeable in the entire process. **★★★★ — masonsmom20012001, July 2014** > They were professional when I spoke to them I didn't actually follow through with the plans but I did speak to them andthey were willing to help me with ideas. **★★★★★ — Robert Vogel, Dec. 2013** > I have worked with Ascent for many years. I enjoy partnering with Pat, Britney and the rest of the Ascent team. They are a builder who listens and respects your time and input. Ascent has a solid reputation for integrity, dependability, leadership and value, due in large part to their dedication to uncompromising craftsmanship and pursuit of customer satisfaction. > > Robert Vogel, Owner > Vogel Finish Carpentry **★★★★★ — newhouse1227, Dec. 2013** > Ascent did a fantastic job building our new lake-front home! The project included securing permits, design, removal of an existing house, building, and landscaping. Ascent is very easy to work with, with great attention to detail and always responsive to our questions or concerns. It was fun to work with their architect and designer. We have received many compliments on how well the home turned out. Pat and Jim have a very good reputation among the suppliers and contractors whom we dealt with during the project. We would definitely use Ascent again in the future and would recommend them to family or friends. **★★★★★ — wiphan, Dec. 2013** > When choosing a builder my wife and I researched a ton of different builders. From the moment we first talked with Pat at Ascent to the moment we signed the contract to start construction we felt 100% confident in building our dream home with Pat Seegers from Ascent Custom Homes. Pat is the most patient and understanding builder out there. I would recommend them to any one without hesitation. The attention to detail and the amount of personal work they put into every home is above and beyond. We could not be happier with our home and we had some much fun building our home! **★★★★★ — dtthebuilder, Dec. 2013** > We had interviewed a number of builders and toured many model homes prior to building our custom home. When we first met Pat Seegers/Ascent Builders, we were struck by his honesty and integrity. He is knowledgeable in all aspects of the building process and his dedication to quality was readily apparent in the fit and finish of his model home. He showed us many other examples of his work, all of the highest quality, but it was his quiet integrity that sealed the deal for us. > > Pat was with us every step of the way throughout the design, build, and finish processes. He was always accessible in person or by phone. No question ever went unanswered and no issue ever went unresolved. Pat's personal expertise was integral to the design process, there was never an idea too large for him to handle or a detail too small to be overlooked. Working with the interior designer provided by Ascent made our home even better than we ever imagined. > > Pat/Ascent made the whole design and build process one of the most enjoyable things we have ever done in our lives, and he remains in contact with us years later to ensure our continued satisfaction. To this day, we feel we have the best built and best designed home possible. If we would ever build again, Pat/Ascent would be our only choice, and we have already recommended him to several friends. > > Sincerely, > Dave and Bridget **★★★★★ — Weather-Tek Windows & Doors, Nov. 2013** > From the moment you walk into one of Ascent’s homes you can see the quality and craftsmanship they put into every detail. What you do not see is their commitment to their customers. From the very first meeting through the progression of the build, you realize how much Pat and his subs care for the home and how the customers become an extended family. Pat’s eye for detail and ability to adapt to changes produces a building process with ease. Weather-Tek Design Center has been supplying windows to Ascent for many years and we are very honored to be one of their building partners. **★★★★★ — mkezman, Oct. 2013** > When picking our builder from the different companies we interviewed, Ascent stood out. The ease at which we could talk and exchange ideas was incomparable. Their inherent understanding of what we wanted coupled with their reputation and open book pricing structure made them a great fit for us. Pat Seegers was wonderful to work with. He was easily reached when we had questions and was always watching the building site. He aligned us with the perfect designer and architect and brought skilled craftsmen to our project. Ascent's expertise and experience building high end custom homes made us comfortable. We would not hesitate to build with him again, and we would definitely recomment Pat and Ascent to anyone considering a custom home project. **★★★★★ — L. H. Krueger and Son Inc., Oct. 2013** > We have been trade partners with Ascent Custom Homes for several years and have enjoyed working with them on a variety of projects. Their homes are well designed, unique and reflect Pat and Britney's honesty, hard work and dedication. They are both very hands on and they make sure we always have the information we need to keep the project on schedule. Their customers are getting not just a custom home, but a well-built quality home that will last. **★★★★★ — 1striker, Oct. 2013** > As first time home builders we weren't sure what to expect from the building process. Ascent Builders and all their contractors exceeded our expectations. They listened to our wants, needs and dreams and created not just a house, a beautiful home which inspires us each day. **★★★★★ — petey387, Oct. 2013** > Ascent was critical during the design phase and did a great job during the building of our dream home. Construction was completed on time and the quality was spectacular. There were even a few areas and features added during construction at no cost to us. The home has been great to live in and has given us a chance to enjoy our family time together. **★★★★★ — Custom Touch Cabinets, Oct. 2013** > Ascent is an outstanding company. Our companies have worked together for over five years and they are one of the best. Pat’s honesty and integrity are of the highest caliber coupled with his steady demeanor make him a great business partner. Pat has surrounded himself with team members that also maintain high quality and ethical standards. The quality and design of his homes are top notch.
