They did an excellent job. Their planning process was easy and enjoyable. Their advice was knowledgable and helpful. The project workers were incredibly talented, cheerful, and honest. The project ended on time. The budget was spot on. Our home looks better than before our flood! We are not only deeply satisfied, but we are also very grateful and very impressed with this company. **★★★★★ — jim\_w\_chamberlain, Sept. 2016** > Mike Schaps team did a fantastic job and the end result far exceeded our expectations. They met every deadline. They always responded to any request quickly and with great professionalism. **★★★★★ — arlynlanting, March 2016** > their ideas and service were great; the final product was better than we thought as they covered all the details. All their people were professional and service oriented. We would hire them again. **★★★★★ — Ryan McCloughan, Jan. 2016** > First class homes. I have never in over 30 years in the industry seen another builder who strives for and accomplishes such complete perfection. Mike holds his employees and subcontractors to the highest level of craftsmanship. Congratulations on 30 years of excellence. **Comment from Mike Schaap Builders:** > Ryan, those are some incredibly kind words! Thanks for not only sharing your thoughts, but for your partnership as well - I look forward to many more projects with you. **★★★★★ — paulnd777423, Oct. 2015** > Mike Schaap Builders > Professional and personal > Precision: quotes, timing, quality of construction > High communication > Responsive to questions and concerns > Design collaboration and inspiring vision > Thoughtful of our living around reconstruction > Great support teams > Fun **★★★★★ — grant219, Oct. 2015** > We had a great experience designing and building our home with Mike Schaap Builders. They understood what we wanted and made it even better. In the end we were on time and on budget. **★★★★★ — Rob Jandernoa, Sept. 2015** > My wife and I moved into our MSB house 6 months ago. We worked with MSB throughout the process and they were our general contractor. We enjoyed the services and process that MSB brought to the table. Their in-house services seemed to really improve communication. Everyone was on the same page through out the project. Our foreman, Mike Handlogten, was easy to get a hold of, quickly addressed any issues, and was always up front about anything. Mike was truly great to work with. > > We didn't have any big setbacks throughout the project. Concerns were brought to our attention proactively. This made building a house (a complex and stressful process) so much easier. Mike Schaap worked closely with us to keep our project on time and within our budget. We had to cut a couple things we wanted out but staying on budget is possible. > > Our son was still taking daily naps when we moved in. Punch list items were dealt with promptly and they worked around our nap schedule whenever possible. Much appreciated. > > MSB prices are definitely above average, but they deliver excellent craftsmanship and simplify the process for you. We have a wonderful home and would recommend Mike Schaap Builders. **Comment from Mike Schaap Builders:** > Rob & Monica, it's been our pleasure and we couldn't be more happy for you and your family. Thanks for the opportunity, and enjoy that beautiful home of yours! **★★★★★ — The Stone Mill Inc, Sept. 2015** > My bride and I were at the kitchen and remodel show this spring. Schaap builders were the only ones that would acknowledge us and take the time to get to know us and our vision. It didn't matter that it wasn't a big glamorous new home, just a kitchen remodel. At least that is all it was until we met Gen and Jodi. They helped us put our ideas into a plan, on paper, and we went to a complete lower level remodel. I have read a lot of prints, but never with our name on it. > > The entire team is world class and a joy to work with. Everyone treated us like we were their most important customer. > > We are told all the time that our home looks like something that should be in a magazine. Not bad for an old farm house built in the 1800's. > > We will have them help with the rest of the house next year. Some interior and exterior work. > > When we are ready to build new in a few years we will be hiring Schaap Builders and Benchmark Design. **Comment from Mike Schaap Builders:** > It's been such a pleasure and we are so glad you are enjoying your new kitchen. We look forward to working with you again! **★★★★★ — johndv, Sept. 2015** > Having had a complete kitchen and bath remodeling done by Schaap Builders I can only give them the highest recommendation for excellent workmanship and outstanding responsiveness. Mike's organizational culture is highly customer-centric. Outstanding people. **Comment from Mike Schaap Builders:** > Thank you so much for the kind words. It was our pleasure and we thank you for sharing that special time with us! **★★★★★ — Teri Les, Sept. 2015** > This team of professionals has exceeded our expectations every step along the way. The quality of their work and attention to detail is extraordinary. Not only would we recommend them without hesitation, we will use them ourselves for every additional home project. **★★★★★ — capcpatterson, Sept. 2015** > Mike Schaap Builders built our home. Our experience was excellent! Mike was very knowledgeable and demanded quality and perfection in every phase of the job. He was an integral part of every phase during the project as well as being responsive to ideas important to us. > > We were impressed with the knowledge and professionalism that the frame foreman and trim foreman lent to the project as well as how easy they were to work with. Solid recommendations were made when they saw opportunities for improvement. The quality of their work was commendable and unsurpassed. > > Hom by Benchmark built our cabinets, interior and exterior doors as well as our buffet and dining room table. These pieces all add significantly to the overall ambiance of our home. > > You'll want to use this builder if you are looking for distinctive, quality work that is difficult to duplicate. **★★★★★ — nlkirk1213, Sept. 2015** > Mike Schaap Builders provides the highest of quality in materials, services and design. The integrity of the Company rises far above any the industry. Their team is extremely professional and knowledgeable and offers impeccable personalized service.
