I really appreciated the fact that the job was done on time with professionalism. Communication with Chris was very good as was the workmanship. Chris brought in reliable, competent craftsmen and sub-contractors. When an unexpected plumbing problem arose (and in my experience, there is always an unexpected problem), Chris and his team fixed it promptly. The crew that installed the counters were also fast and professional. **Comment from CRE Construction:** > Thanks so much for the review of our work. > We appreciate having the opportunity to partner with you on your home project! > > Chris Easterday & the "CRE Crew" **★★★★★ — allee15, Feb. 2015** > CRE did a great job coordinating our latest remodel and in fact, has done a few projects for us! Chris is very knowledgeable about the whole process and was very easy to work with. He consistently offered options within our budget. He worked very well with our architect and other subcontractors and was a critical part of our team coming up with creative solutions to the common challenges of remodeling an older home. Work was done in a very efficient manner and our projects were finished on time, if not before set deadlines. **★★★★★ — maryellenandersen550, Jan. 2015** > CRE Construction converted my porch into a room. All of the workers were respectful, professional, and listened to my requests. Most deadlines were met if at all possible. The materials used were top-notch, and I'm very pleased with the results! **★★★★★ — Susan Nackers Ludwig, Jan. 2015** > I am the owner of a residential design firm and have worked with CRE Construction on a variety of projects over the years. Their collaborative approach to building and construction makes CRE Construction one of the best builders I've worked with. I appreciate the extra effort they put into their projects to make sure everything comes out beautifully. It's always a pleasure working with CRE and their team. > > Susan Nackers Ludwig > LNA Design **Comment from CRE Construction:** > Thank you, Susan. > All the same comments are applicable to working with LNA Design. > We look forward to future projects ahead! **★★★★★ — ndheyer, Jan. 2015** > C.R.E.
