Design-Build Contractors & Firms Near Bloomington

“We have used TreHus for 3 major construction projects. The most recent was an addition adding 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms to our home. So, almost like a new house construction minus the kitchen. The whole thing was done in a completely professional manner. They provided a binder with a timeline of when subs would be coming and what would be happening each day, how much everything would cost, and what we needed to do. We were kept informed every step of the way, and they finished exactly on time and on budget. I think that is pretty much unheard of. But, they told us we would be in the new space on November 1st and we were in the new space on Nov 1st. The quality of the work was excellent, the people who worked on the project were all super respectful of our family and home, and they all seemed really happy to be working for TreHus. I think that is the mark of a good business. Several of our friends have nightmare stories of working with contractors and unexpected cost increases. I felt like we got very good value for what we paid plus the peace of mind in knowing it would be done right seeing we had used them before with great results. We are very happy with the new addition and the experience/s we had with TreHus and wouldn't hesitate to recommend.”

“We are DYI people and try to be savvy shoppers during projects to keep budgets on track. However there are times it is wise to hire a professional and Rick Jacobson is that guy. We have hired Rick for many projects (big & small) over the past 18 years. 1. Enlarging basement bedroom and additional storage. 2. Bathroom remodel - Created beautiful tiled shower in basement to replace a small corner prefab one. Easily twice the size and a good 6 inches taller. 3. Replaced all our exterior doors and windows with precision. All windows continue to open and close effortlessly years later. Rick made sure we had all the paperwork for energy efficient tax rebate. 4. Enlarged kitchen doorway and relocated header out of sight in attic space with stunning results. 5. His recommendations for subcontractors have been good as well. Have used same carpet installer for additional projects. No matter what size of project you are doing Rick is always professional, stays in communication, respectful of home interior, clean up and doesn't leave a job until we are satisfied. Rick has welcomed us working alongside him. We have learned so much and truly respect his skill and expertise. During our recent kitchen remodel we needed to hire a drywall crew ASAP after ours was a no show at the last minute. Got 4 estimates in 24 hours. Decided to take the bid that was $850 less than Rick. Huge mistake. When we hired Rick for finish trim it was obvious what a shoddy drywall job it was. Because of his experience Rick was able to make all the trim work look perfect. We are still stuck with a shoddy drywall job. You can always find someone to do it cheaper and you will live with that for years.”

“We worked with Bluestem on a total Master Bedroom remodel. We were very satisfied with the process and the outcome. The Bluestem staff was great to work with - owner, designer, carpenters, subcontractors and office manager. We were especially pleased to work with Tamatha who was our designer and oversaw the project. She pushed us to think outside the box - we really appreciated this. We have a better bathroom as a result of her help. The project did exceed our original budget, in large part because of some high end materials we chose. Bluestem did a good job of communicating and responded to questions and issues promptly. Their documentation and billing system was complete and professional. Despite some minor ups and downs, they completed the project on time.”
