Travis made sure I was satisfied with the final product. His staff made multiple calls for confirmation of satisfaction following completion of the construction project. Highly recommend for ANY project in your home. **★★★★★ — Brenda Daniels, Aug. 2018** > Travis and his staff were great to work with! I took a lot of time deciding on a layout and they were very helpful and patient with all my changes. This was a remodel of most of the main floor of my house and they were always pleasant to have in my house and easy to work with, plus their work is very professional. I would highly recommend Concept to Creation for your construction project and I will plan to use them again with any future projects. **★★★★★ — Jen G., March 2018** > Very professional, listens to customer wishes, and overall great to work with! Travis and his crew have installed our master bathroom tile, interior doors and trim, as well as built a beautiful custom covered deck off of our dining room. I appreciate their attention to detail and commitment to quality. **Comment from Concept To Creation:** > Thank you for taking the time to review us, we really appreciate it and your business! **★★★★★ — Betsy Roling, Jan. 2018** > Concept To Creation has done several projects at out home. They helped us layout and remodel our kitchen living room on the main floor several years ago. They built a shed for us in out back yard a few years later, redid out master bathroom and recently they have remodeled our basement. They are clean and keep you informed of the process. They worked with us and adjusted to additions quickly. **Comment from Concept To Creation:** > Thanks for sharing your experience! We really appreciate you giving us the opportunity to do the work and we have enjoyed working with you. We hope you will continue to contact us for future projects. **★★★★ — Terry Frantz, Jan. 2018** > Very respectful and dependable. > Travis is good with the details and did a very professional job of tiling our two bathrooms. **Comment from Concept To Creation:** > Thanks for sharing! We appreciate the feedback, and it was a pleasure working for you. Let us know if we can help with any future projects. **★★★★★ — Ralph, Jan. 2018** > We are very happy with our remodeling project. We found that concept to creation was a most efficient company at a very reasonable price. They show up on time and get the job done. > We had a landing built in our garage and a workbench. Now we have a much more functional garage. **Comment from Concept To Creation:** > Thank you for sharing your experience with us! We really appreciate you giving us the opportunity to do the work and hope we can help you with any needs in the future. Thank you! **★★★★★ — Tom & Sandy Carrico, Oct. 2017** > Travis Boyle, from Concept to Creation is the most honest, reputable, positive attitude contractor we have ever work with. The quality of his work is expectational, especially the attention to detail. We had several retired contractors visit our new home and everyone to the person commented on how well the house was constructed and how the detail work, such as > mitered corners of the trim were absolutely perfect. > > However, what we appreciated most was when we found things not done to our satisfaction or we wanted to change, Travis was extremely positive to make corrections and work with us to find a cost efficient way to make the change happen. > > Travis always took our phone calls, texts, and emails and promptly responded. Many times we would call and the call would go to voice mail, but within 15 minutes he called back. I can only remember 1 time when he took more than 24 hours to respond. > > Our project came in on his budget, but our change orders did increase the original cost. Travis did miss the completion deadline by 6 months but we excepted that due to complications from soil conditions on our lot. (NOTE: We planned the project would be 6 months behind and 15% over cost) > > We appreciated the fact the Travis allowed us to use some of our contacts and sources to assisted with building the home or supplying products we could source at a better quality and lower price. > > We would highly recommend Concept to Creation to anyone wanting to build their dream home. **Comment from Concept To Creation:** > Thanks for your review and especially for allowing us to do the work. We enjoyed it and hope we can help you out in the future with any of your project needs. **★★★★★ — Barb Prather, April 2017** > Concept to Creation did a fabulous job, putting in baseboards and crown molding for us in a short amount of time. Very Professional and Courteous. **★★★★ — Suz SmolikHagen, Dec. 2016** > Travis quickly picked up on the vision we had for our home and helped us bring the design to life. He was flexible and allowed us to be very involved in the project. Because we were on site often, we got to know Travis and his team - they were a joy to be around. Travis and his team completed most of the work on our home - so it's been done very well. Travis has always responded to our questions and followed up with any issues we may have had. I highly recommend him to design and build homes! **★★★★★ — kenweber61, June 2016** > We had a complete kitchen remodel and ceiling repair completed and done with great craftsmanship. Floor to ceiling with cabinet installation performed covering all the details. We had previous experience with Concept to Creation before when we remodeled our bathroom. JOB WELL DONE. **★★★★★ — sparkybw10, Feb. 2016** > We needed our bathroom remodeled to bring it up to date yet we wanted to keep some of the old rustic charm at the same time. Since the house is a Lindal Cedar home, Travis had a lot of wood to try to blend old with new. We had the shower, vanity and flooring all replaced but kept the original exterior wood shower walls. The shower door was wood that Travis refinished and we were able to reuse. The vanity was all custom built to fit our unique space and the tile shower and floor are gorgeous. The attention to detail was wonderful and the ideas that he offered were great (and we used them). We have worked with this contractor before and would highly recommend him. Very easy to work with, honest and conscientious. **★★★★★ — dwalsh38, Feb. 2016** > Concept to Creation and, owner, Travis Boyle did an outstanding job with my kitchen remodel. Travis and his team were very professional, very knowledgeable and cleaned up daily before leaving. Travis informed us ahead of time of what work he would be doing and when and how long it would take. We appreciated the communication because a kitchen remodel was very disruptive for my family but Travis made it as pain less as possible. He did an outstanding job in installing the stone around our fireplace! We have had many compliments and we always give credit to Concept to Creation and Travis Boyle. > > Don Walsh, Cedar Falls, IA ## Selected projects - [White Kitchen Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/white-kitchen-remodel-pj-vj~4236484) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 26 - Description: Complete kitchen remodel including an enlarged kitchen, hidden walk-in pantry, bar/serving area, and a drop zone buffet area.

It originally had a deck but the homeowners wanted to close it in. We left the original stone that was on the outside and felt that it really accentuated the space and brought in an element of the outdoors. It's a perfect place for their hot tub and a custom bar that we built complete with a beverage chiller and wine rack. - [1900's Kitchen Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/1900-s-kitchen-remodel-pj-vj~2844261) - Location: Reinbeck, IA - Photos: 16 - Description: This remodel was done in an early 1900's home. We tried to blend the new with the original the best we could and it was a success. We used cherry wood cabinets with a luxury vinyl plank floor. The backsplash helped contrast from the darker colors and lighten up the room while accenting the bronze colors. - [Classic New Custom Home Build](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/classic-new-custom-home-build-pj-vj~2451048) - Location: Cedar Falls, IA - Photos: 40 - Description: Beautiful new custom home built in Cedar Falls.
