From the very first meeting, through the design process, moving in, and beyond - Lakewest has exceeded our expectations. The best part about working with Dan is the great care he takes in guiding you through the decision process and approaching it with you as if it was his own family home. He is extremely responsive and consultative, always there with great recommendations, offering budget friendly alternatives, and helping you navigate efficiently through the process. We would recommend Dan and Lakewest to anyone looking to build or remodel their home without hesitation. **★★★★★ — Kathey Horvath, Feb. 2018** > If we could give Lakewest 10 stars we would. From our initial meeting we knew this was the builder we needed. The entire experience was amazing. Dan is a great listener and had many useful suggestions. The attention to detail is evident the minute you drive in front of our home. He is accommodating beyond belief. We are so happy with the final "product". I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Lakewest. **★★★★★ — Dan Hanrahan, Feb. 2018** > The best! Lakewest built us a beautiful custom home with fair pricing. The work is all of the highest quality and their team becomes like family. We couldn't be more grateful. **★★★★★ — John Bunce, Feb. 2018** > I have been working with the Lakewest Family since 1988.

You hear so many disaster scenarios in dealing with home builders--but Dan and the Lakewest team are fabulous. We built our home from a distance and were please despite not being there, everything worked smoothly. We had no problems with communication. Having built so many custom homes, the team listens to your needs and suggested many great solutions and ideas to incorporate to make it a truly custom home. **★★★★★ — Dennis and Mary Kostic, Feb. 2018** > We cannot say enough about how effortless it was to work with Lakewest Custom Homes. Their professionalism, knowledge, craftsmanship and willingness to accommodate us in building our beautiful custom home is what makes them the Best Builder in Naperville. Dan and the entire Lakewest family were outstanding to work with. We would definitely use them again, would highly recommend them to others and are happy to be a part of the Lakewest Family!! **★★★★★ — mattward9, Feb. 2018** > Very reputable builder with a long history building high quality custom homes in Naperville. I have built two homes with Lakewest as an investor and my personal residence. Dan is honest, transparent, responsive, and cares about making his clients happy. He has strong relationships with inspectors/city employees and is able to leverage these contacts navigate the typical red tape associated with building a home. He offers great perspective on selections which allowed me to get a great bang for the buck. **★★★★★ — S Ledebuhr, Jan. 2018** > We had an exceptional experience in partnering with Lakewest Custom Homes. From the start, our questions and expectations were met with open dialogue and full transparency. They used only the highest quality of subcontractors and skilled craftsman to complete our project and we couldn't be more pleased. > Simply put, they are an outstanding family owned company! **★★★★★ — ljurjovec, April 2015** > In 2014 my husband and I chose Lakewest builders to complete a total remodel of our 1960's Colonial style home. Looking at the before and after pictures still blow me away. Lakewest's vision for our home and attention to detail has transformed our outdated interior and exterior to our absolute dream home! The entire construction process was laid out in detail from the very beginning and we were provided with a timeline of the build process and all the dates and deadline for decisions etc. We were very impressed with the open communication, flexibility, and how cost minded Lakewest was with our project. The quality of craftsmanship that when into our house was stellar, and the entire team was a joy to work with. We would absolutely use Lakewest again and sing their praises. **★★★★★ — nikhansra, Oct. 2014** > Lakewest is currently building our home. It has been a pleasure working with Dan and his team. Dan is very helpful and knowledgable about all aspects of home building. He is very accessible and quick to answer our many questions. With all of the stress associated with building a new home - his team has made it easy! The house is looking great already and we can't wait to see the finished product! **★★★★★ — Meyer Design, July 2014** > We have worked with Lakewest Custom Homes, Ltd. for over a decade.
