Blok Builders, Inc.

Wow, what team! True craftsmen!! Very professional and thorough. They took on a very tricky exterior/interior repair project on our custom midcentury modern house that multiple other contractors had turned down and they knocked it out of the park! I only wish we had used them for all of our renovation projects on the house. With renovations, "you get what you pay for" and Blok Builders' exceptional quality and professionalism are worth every penny!

My only regret is that we did not use Blok for every project. The work they did to upgrade our decks was fantastic. We had five wood decks on our home that were original to the 1995 build date. They were showing some wear and were starting to sag and have soft spots. We brought in Blok, and it was one of the best decisions ever. They rebuilt the underlying structure where it had rotted and did not meet the current building codes for safety. Meaning the decks were not securely attached to the house. They also leveled up our raised three-season porch. Where we had discovered the footings had totally crumbled and had been “jimmied” to keep the room close to level. At our direction they completely rebuilt the footings and underlying support. The room was actually more than 4” off level. It remains perfectly level now. It is now over five years since the work they did for us and it is still impressive and perfect. We use all our decks all the time and love them. They have held up incredibly well and have needed little to no maintenance to stay perfect. We love our decks. The work team was always on time, kept their work area neat and clean. They stayed on time or ahead of time on the promised work. And while expensive they stayed on budget. I wish every contractor had the work ethic and quality of service Blok has. They are well worth the extra expense when you look at the value over time of what was done. We highly recommend the Blok team. If we do another big project Blok will be who we call.

I engaged Blok Builders to do a whole house renovation of a 1970s era condo. They offered smart, innovative suggestions on how to update my house and we developed a suitable plan. Without fuss, they managed all the unexpected issues we encountered. There were no surprises regarding costs or materials. Costs are straightforward. They vary by the complexity of the project but they are standardized. Blok Builders provides a detailed and honest estimate in advance of work done, and again if the project changes. Billing is so scrupulous that they send to the customer the original receipt for every item purchased for the project. Blok uses a computer program to guide the customer through the project process. All plans, selections for materials, appliances, finishes, paint colors, and other decisions are posted and both parties sign that they are accurate. They were aware of cost at every stage and made sure I had several choices for materials at several price points. I appreciated that they never tried to upsell me. They have a good sense of when to “go big” or use an economical method. There were several instances when I was prepared to pay for custom work and they told me it would not be worth it. Blok’s workmanship and attention to detail is remarkable. In addition to supervising subcontractor, for me, they custom designed and built a mantel and supervised the installation of art tile as the surround. The hearth had a lip so they built a sloped finish edge so that it could not trip someone. They were willing to make adjustments during and at the end of the project after we made mid-course corrections. They are up-to-date on the latest materials and methods, including lighting. To my mind, they have encyclopedic knowledge of woods, finishes, stone, and the new synthetic materials used for building and decorating. Decisions often were easy because they could provide the advantages and disadvantages of each choice. Every single subcontractor on the job told me that Blok Builders was their favorite general contractor. Blok’s reputation for fine workmanship and fair dealing is known by the people who work most closely with them. Blok Builders always made me feel as if I was their most important customer. They answer the phone!. If I didn’t reach them, my calls were always promptly returned and my questions answered in detail. They kept their appointments or contacted me if they were running late. I felt completely comfortable about giving Blok Builders a key to my house, and being alone with them and the crew. Everyone was polite, courteous, and kind. They were careful with my belongings. Blok Brothers continuing care for their projects is legendary in Kalamazoo. They make sure everything is right well after they close the door. I would not hesitate to hire Blok Brothers to do any project. They love their work and they love doing it well for their customers.

When we decided to build our dream house, we looked around with our architect to interview possible builders. When we met with Blok Builders, everything just clicked and working with them was a delight. Hands down, their reputation, the quality of work, and the Blok brothers' honesty and integrity made building our house a meaningful experience that we continue to appreciate even more than 15 years later. We could not have dreamed of a better turn out for our house, and considering the architectural design was challenging, Blok Builders approached it with ease and determination. The Bloks have always been available to answer any questions we have had about the house, or the maintenance of it, and they are diligent in making sure all their customers are satisfied in the dream home they built for them. We highly recommend Blok Builders for nay future projects and endeavors you may have!

Blok builders did the addition on our lake house 12 years ago and continue to do home maintenance and repairs for us today. They are doing a minor kitchen remodel and more right now. We highly recommend this company. They respond quickly and do amazing work. They are perfectionists.

I have had the privilege of partnering with Blok Builders for many years as a supplier of Windows / Doors. Their commitment to quality and professionalism creates value and satisfaction for their clients.

We found everyone at Blok to be very helpful, professional and insightful in their work and suggestions. We were working with them during a very challenging time, and were very happy that they were able to navigate the Covid restrictions and keep our home a very healthy and safe place to be. We appreciated very much that the workers were always punctual, polite and responsive. We also appreciated the sub-contractors who were brought in. They were talented, efficient and able to produce the very best results. If, in the future, we have additional projects, large or small, Blok will be the first company we contact!!!

Blok Builders deserve the highest marks for their work. They are always “on the job” when promised and provide excellent service. You can count on them to be on time and work at their job until it is completed. They work to assure the customer gets “what they paid for” and provide high quality work and leave a clean worksite I highly recommend them for any and all of your construction projects. I had a three-season porch made into a four season porch. It took the builder a very reasonable amount of time to complete and meet all of my requirements

Blok Builders were great to work with. They worked with us to find a solution for stabilizing our foundation that worked for us and from an engineering standpoint for a reasonable price. They are attentive to detail and concerned about the final look. Their project management and communication were great. We would definitely work with them again and highly recommend them.

We recently had our kitchen " refreshed" , updated by Blok builders with new lighting, countertops, backsplash, hardware for the cabinets, and our wood floors refinished ( also all new appliances and painting of walls and ceiling). We are thrilled with the results! All involved were personable and professional, with great communication, excellent skills and craftsmanship, excellent attention to details to make things just as we wanted! We are highly satisfied with Blok Builders and all their sub- contractors.

Working with Blok Builders was an amazing success. They were professional, prompt and it was very clear we were dealing with the best aspects of a family company.

From the design process to the final inspection we enjoyed every interaction with the Blok Team. Our final product is amazing and we will totally call Blok for any future projects.

This is the 2nd project that Blok Builders did for us. I highly recommend them and plan on another project in the future--that is my highest recommendation--I want them back. At all times they were respectful of our property and our neighbors. The arrived on time and cleaned up at the end of the day. They worked on making this experience painless for a homeowner. On the project we had to work on a creative solution to a stair problem and they were able to come up with a great idea. Very easy back and forth conversations with them, combined with their technical knowledge, makes it very easy to give them an A+ rating.

Excellent attention to our preferences, craftsmanship, construction operation, and management of contractors. The work is stunning and any hiccups were always addressed immediately by primary project manager and ongoing maintenance remains Blok Builder's invested concern. I highly recommend and endorse the full Blok Builders team.

We have worked with Blok Builders for a full house remodel, a standalone garage/barn project and numerous smaller projects. The firm and employees are trustworthy, transparent in their work/pricing and are excellent at what they do. We would and will continue to work with them for any future projects and would not hesitate to recommend them to others.

Blok Builders are a pleasure to work with. This is the 3rd project I have used them for, I highly recommend. The project management software they have began using made product selection and job communication easy and convenient. An additional value is the quality of the subs they use; I appreciated the access provided for interacting with the subs.

Best of the best. Blok Builders is always my go to builder for top quality and detailed work. I have always been happy with the results for my clients from Kalamazoo Custom Kitchens and Baths. Very easy builder to work with and super nice too.

We could scarcely be more pleased with Blok Builders. Their professionalism, choice of sub-contractors, and sheer grace about their tasks were all amazing! Everyone involved really appear to be experts at their trade(s). Their schedule was met (except for one glitch which wasn't their fault). We've not seen final billing yet, but I think we're pretty darn close to budget estimates. The results are spectacular and well worth the wait!

Blok Builders worked on our master bathroom a few years ago. We were impressed by their quality of work, professionalism, clear communication and transparency with all the expenses. We hired them again to renovate our deck. They impressed us again. Great work! Even when we found a small issue several months later, they would come and fix it right a way. We will hire them again for any future work.

The Blok Builders did a major remodel of our mid-century modern home with a flat roof, in a wooded area. The project included creating a master suite, removing a massive concrete and steel fireplace, building built-in cabinets and bookshelves and a whole floor and couple bathrooms remodel. The entire project took place while I was abroad for the year. The team has been wonderful to work with. Despite the distance, the communication was smooth, and my every need was met. I challenged everyone in the team with difficult ideas including back-lit walls, incorporating LED lights in very unconventional ways, incorporating difficult to use material in the house, in summary, turning a dated house into a 21st century ultramodern home. If you need any work done, I highly recommend working with the Blok Builders. Their kindness, courteously, dedication to their craft and family, and their ability to listen to your every need is truly unmatched. Kudos to the Blok family and their associates.

Blok Builders is a classy group. Professional, polite, great attention to detail, strong on organization and communication, fair, considerate and knowledgeable. A hard working and extremely talented team from top to bottom.

Blok Builders, inc have done work for us before. We were very pleased with their work so we hired them to remodel a master bathroom and install new countertops in other bathrooms. In addition to the high quality of their work we especially valued their regular communication. If we had a question about any details of the project or if a problem arose it was quickly resolved to our satisfaction. We were very pleased with Blok Builders from start to finish.

We hired Blok Builders to complete a major renovation of the main floor of our 45 year old ranch home and were delighted with the work. The team, led by Arnie Blok, provided excellent service from estimate to project closeout. Communication with the team through their online project management program, by text, and in person was timely and appropriate. The craftsmanship was careful and beautiful throughout. Questions and concerns that arose during the project were addressed promptly and effectively. The sub-contractors were managed professionally. All in all, we were most pleased with their work and highly recommend them.

Our family has trusted Bruce & John Blok - Blok Builders - for over 20 years. We began with a 400 sf addition to our California Contemporary ranch home that included a full remodeling of our open ceiling kitchen, additional skylights in our tongue and groove ceiling/roof, main floor laundry, both bathrooms and creation of a master bedroom suite. The design-build experience that Blok brought to our home was fantastic and the workmanship still looks great today. We've called upon Blok and their Quick Call service multiple times over the past 20 years, as well. Our most recent project was full roof replacement and siding repair/painting on our backyard shed. Always on time and at or below the quoted price. I'm in the phone book and would be pleased to provide my recommendation personally.

I found Blok Builders wonderful to work with and would highly recommend them. Workers were timely and professional. They kept me up to date throughout the project via text messages and phone calls. I was always informed about scheduling changes or delays; which were minimal. Can't wait for my next remodeling project with them.

This last summer I hired Blok Builders to help me with the redesign / rebuild of an outside deck at our lake house. From the planning stage through the project completion I found the Blok team to be wonderful to work with. They were patient with my design decisions, offered excellent advice on all sorts of things, and then had truly talented and experienced carpenters that were a joy to have around each day. I felt like they had my best interests in mind every day and always exceeded my expectations with their attention to details and willingness to do whatever was asked. Bruce, John and the entire Blok team will get all my important home improvement work going forward!

If you live in Southwest Michigan and are looking for a building contractor, look no further then Blok Builders. From custom built homes to remodeling your present home, they do it all. We had John, Travis and Ben remodel our kitchen. You hear all the nightmare stories of remodeling a kitchen, but I must say that, although it is always an inconvenience to have your kitchen out of commission, these guys left my home cleaned up each evening and tried hard to keep sink, stove and refrigerator going for most of the time. Another nightmare of remodeling is that a contractor will tell you they will be to your job at 8:00 am on Monday but not show until noon. Not so with Blok Builders. If they told me they would be at my house at 7:30, I could be guarenteeed they were backing into my drive at 7:25!!!! Totally dependable, totally honest, totally first class in all they do. Call them, you will not be sorry.

A complicated project that involved both indoor and outdoor work. the work was completed with the highest quality, at a reasonable price. The entire crew was a pleasure to work with, they are the best while delivering great value.

There are no words to describe the services that we received from blok brothers we had them do a bathroom remodel and they did a condo remodel when we had a flood and we have used their handyman service they are professional reliable and their skill in everything they do is amazing

Blok Builders are amazing! It's great to have perfectionists working on a project for your home. They listen to your ideas, and truly go beyond to make everything perfect. Blok Builders leave the area just as clean as it started out. We have had two employees from other types of businesses see their work, and noticed right away that it was Blok Builders' expertise. The projects were done on time, and within budget.

Over the past 18 years Blok Builders Inc. has done four major remodeling projects and one building for us. We have had two baths, kitchen remodeling and flooring done. All projects were completed in the time expected. When asked, valuable advice and consultation helped produce a better result, Attention to detail and quality is excellent. I would highly recommend Blok Builders for any remodeling project or home construction.

Great ideas and execution in a time line that was accur great to work with them highly recom will use them again

Great service and wonderful, beautiful, high quality work. Call them for all our building needs big or small. Highly recommend them

I have used Blok Builders the last several years for small interior projects to upgrade my home and exterior maintenance & improvements. Their attention to detail is excellent and customer service is superior from the owners to the craftspeople doing the work. Highly recommend them for new construction and remodeling jobs.

The Blok team and all of their contractors are great to work with! They make the process very easy and stress-free by leveraging co-construct software to keep everyone on task and within budget! They are extremely professional, knowledgeable, and most of all personable. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking to build a new house or undergo a home renovation - big or small!

The team @ Blok Builders was awesome to work with. They treated the project as if it was their own house and you can tell take great pride in their craft as it shows in the finished product. I could not recommend them more highly.

We had Bruce and team come in to do a much needed update to our Laundry Room. Despite our house giving them a few 'snags' (hard to remove wallpaper, walls out of square, etc), everyone at BBI and their contractors handled it no problem. They were always communicating with us as to when and whom people were showing up, and the final result is awesome!

My wife and I recently completed a major renovation of our kitchen, bath and laundry room, working with Blok Builders. We speak with experience, regarding the ups and downs of construction projects, having built two houses, and restoring two commercial buildings, employing other builders. Overall, our latest project went very well. Workmanship was excellent. Bruce Blok’s crew and subcontractors were courteous, punctual, experienced and worked well together to coordinate tasks. There were challenges. Living in a house during a complicated renovation has its drawbacks, and there were a few lapses in communication, but overall the project was a great success and we would use Blok Builders again.

We are very happy to have Blok Builders take care of our projects. It has been easy working with them on many projects from our full building construction to assistance with smaller remodels.

We hired the Blok brothers to build our home in 2010. We had never built before and had heard horror stories about building so we were a little hesitant to take the plunge. But, we fell in love with a piece of property and that was that. We interviewed five builders. We chose Bruce and his brother John because they were straight forward and easy to be around. They took the time to foster a relationship and put us at ease. It was a great experience. I don't think I realized then how lucky we were. I've seen friends embark on projects since and it seems like there are always issues. We just didn't have that. Every time we came to the property, it was spotless. Bruce, John, and all the guys that work for them are just nice guys. And, of course, it helps that they are perfectionists. Blok builders builds houses the old fashioned way-- to last. I wouldn't hesitate to give them my highest recommendation; if you are considering a build, give these guys a ring, you won't regret it!

I have had the good fortune of working with Bruce Blok for almost 20 years on a variety of residential and light commercial projects. "Blok Builders" are usually the first words out of my mouth when clients ask who I would recommend to build their project. I have seen him treat ALL my projects with the same care, patience, and flexibility, no matter how large or small, high budget or low. I have used Bruce for my own remodeling projects through the years and I have found him to be both highly professional and totally transparent in charging for his services. He treats both clients and designers with the utmost respect, and this philosophy shines through when solving budget or job site issues. Their workmanship is impeccable, the job sites are the cleanest you'll ever see, and I've never heard a bad word from anyone on their crew; clients actually hate to see them go!

This building company is superb in caring out the home design you ask. They are all men of high integrity and workmanship, I hold them all at high regard. They will work with your design and deliver what you expect. And it will be to your advantage to have know and worked with them.

I have had the privilege of working with Blok Builders for many years. Their professionalism, outstanding quality, innovative ideas, and attention to detail is outstanding. Blok Builders demonstrates honesty and integrity throughout the building process. They take the time to listen to their clients' needs and desires so the end product reflects the clients' dreams.

We had Blok Builders finish our basement. Bruce was able to incorporate our planning ideas, relocate utilities, maximize the space available, and provide a quality finished product that we are proud of! We were even on a shortened timeline due to entertaining needs. They finished a week early, and were even under budget!!! Based on this experience, other quality custom builds we had seen from them, and many satisfied client testimonials, we also used them for a full custom build in 2016
