**★★★★★ — kyhaigney, April 2016**

> Karl Plattner and his team made building my first home a happy and rewarding experience. I hired Karl based on recommendations from acquaintances in my community and one meeting, during which I knew it was a good fit for my project.  Honesty and integrity are tough to find in the building industry (so many horror stories!) but Plattner Custom builders honored every request without reservation, and made right anything that didn't go as planned.
> In terms of quality and craftsmanship, In my neighborhood, you can tell which homes Plattner has built by simply driving by.  His are the most unique, well built, beautiful homes on the street.
> I recommend Plattner to any friend that asks me who built my house and would I build it with them again.  The answer is always yes - I wouldn't trust anyone else.

**★★★★★ — bporter78, March 2016**

> Plattner Custom Builders are the best. My husband and I were very satisfied with all their work. They built us a beautiful home which we are so proud of.   They kept great records of our budget.  Constantly in contact, great workers and supervisor.  Thank you Karl for all your patience and hard work to give us our dream home.

**★★★★★ — jmoellen, June 2014**

> Karl is awesome. He is a high quality builder that has great style.  He builds a great home that will last.

**★★★★★ — jlinsen, Aug. 2012**

> Fantastic custom builder with a real focus on the customer's wishes.  They went out of their way to find Victorian features for our dream home.  From antique and consignment stores to custom door makers in the neighboring state, they were always willing to go the extra mile to get us what we wanted.  The construction of the home is also solid.  From the superior framing, hvac , and windows down to the hand made corbels and gorgeous trim work.  My husband and I highly recommend Plattner custom builders!

**★★★★★ — Joshua Lippiner, Aug. 2012**

> We have seen a number of their homes, inside and out, and they are by far some of the nicest homes around.  Their attention to detail is extraordinary and almost every room makes you stop and think, "man I want that."
>
> We liked the work they did so much that we contacted Shannon (Plattner) and after meeting with her she offered to help us figure out what to do with our place.  She immediately understood the issues and challenges we have and had wonderful ideas on how to bring together a cohesive look.
>
> If you have the opportunity to work with the Plattners, we highly recommend it.

**★★★★★ — smiles19711, July 2012**

They paid attention to every detail, no matter how small and made sure I was completely satisfied. I would most definitely recommend them to build any house, big or small. They are so talented...you won't be disappointed.
