“A Truly Custom and Enjoyable Homebuilding Experience When we first began dreaming about building a home, we started, quite literally, with a blank piece of paper and an open farm field. We had ideas, a vision, and a sense of what we wanted, but no model to follow. What we did have was a desire to create something completely our own — in layout, in materials, and in feel. We spent time touring homes, hoping to find something that fit. But everything we saw felt cookie-cutter, too compromised or uninspired. We weren’t chasing extravagance. We simply wanted a home that felt right, that matched how we live. It became clear that a custom home was the only way to achieve that. Even then, we knew we would only move forward with the right builder. Fortunately, we already had a strong relationship with Bev Totsch and the Tranquility Builders team, having worked with them on earlier remodeling projects. We trusted their quality, integrity, and process completely. If not for that trust, we likely wouldn’t have taken this leap. From the start, Bev and her team made us feel confident and supported. Rather than steering us toward stock plans or shortcuts, they embraced the opportunity to build something unique to us. We also had the privilege of working closely with Bev and Jim’s sons, Ryan and Elliot. Ryan served as our lead designer and was instrumental in turning our ideas into a working plan. Elliot helped guide the construction side, ensuring the quality and care stayed consistent from start to finish. The entire Totsch family brought heart, skill, and teamwork to every phase of the project. With their guidance, what began as a blank page turned into a smooth and truly enjoyable experience. Every design decision, big or small, was approached thoughtfully, and we were always part of the process. Tranquility didn’t just build us a house. They built a home that reflects our values and our lifestyle. The layout, the flow, the finishes — everything fits. And what could have been stressful actually turned out to be fun. We genuinely looked forward to each step. The end result is more than we imagined. Our home is warm, functional, and one-of-a-kind. It fits our lives perfectly and brings us joy every day. Looking back, we can’t imagine doing this with anyone else. Tranquility Builders delivered outstanding craftsmanship, personal care, and a custom result we’ll always be proud of. — Vince & Megan”

“I can't recommend Keen Construction enough... I needed to move walls & doors to create a larger primary bedroom closet with W/D hookup from 3 smaller closets (prior to moving into our new house). I'm skeptical of choosing a company off the internet so I read all of the reviews I could find about Keen Construction and chose them because there were NO bad reviews (not even one I could find). We met the next day (THU) at the house to discuss details so Darren could provide an estimate which arrived via email later that day. I was waiting until Monday to contact Darren and tell him we wanted to move forward with the project but Darren reached out that Sunday that they could start the project THE NEXT DAY since we didn't require any permits, etc. We didn't have time to clear out the 3 closets so Darren and Mark did it for us on Monday. I'm still amazed at how smoothly everything went and how quickly they were able to complete the project. After taping and skimming the closet and 2 rooms (where doors/walls were moved), I had them paint the closet and leave the 2 rooms unpainted since we haven't yet decided on our colors - getting a refund for that work. The great thing is that the rooms require no prep and we can simply paint them as soon as we make our decision. I will definitely be calling Darren for our other construction projects AFTER we move in... I chatted with Mark one day during construction about our upcoming needs and am very excited that I will NOT need to search the internet and "take my chances" in the future. If you are searching for a contractor, please (at a minimum) let Darren provide an estimate!!”

“Michael was an amazing, flexible partner. There is nothing transactional about how Michael operates: he is a true partner to help address even the unexpected issues in your home with an open mind and in a helpful, support way. While there are many firms and contractors out there who can do quality work, I think it's rare to find someone who is really in it with you and has your back. We had the work done while we were out of town for the week and every day, we received detailed updates with before/after pictures and full videos on the progress. That's the difference in working with Michael and his team! On top of of all this, the quality of work was exceptional. We had major work done on our house including completely refinishing our wood floors, painting all walls, and the most challenging of them all - refinishing all of our cabinets of which we have many. Everything looks brand new and as we list our house for sale, I am confident that the work done will substantially increase the value of our house with maximum return on our investment. I would recommend Michael and his team as the go to for any work that you want to do on your home. They are the best in terms of cost, quality, and support. Thank you so much Michael!”
