Home Addition & Extension Contractors in Galena

“I am happy with my remodeling project by Embassy Construction. They stayed late the night before we had to move in to make sure everything was ready for us. My new kitchen is exactly how I imagined it.”

“This contractor was ON TIME, efficient, clean and courteous in providing the materials, crew and following the contract agreement as stated.”

“Dave was the very best to work with! He has great ideas and input and was patient as we worked through changes. We couldn't have been happier...the outcome was our dream home!”

“Gary has done several home improvement projects for us which were excellent and completed expeditiously. He remodeled our kitchen which included installing cabinets, countertops, and an island. Gary also installed an oak/tile fireplace. When we had a leak in our roof, he replaced a portion of our ceiling with drywall and plastering. All his work has been completed on time and with excellent workmanship. We will continue to hire Gary for any home renovation projects we need.”

“Remodeled our entire bathroom and it turned out incredible! Have done several other small projects and repairs as well. Work is always stellar and done in an exceptionally timely manner!!”

“Our goal was to renovate a 3-bedroom ranch house, expand the living space with two additions, and change the roof line from flat '60's ranch to Prairie style. While we had a rough layout of the interior, clearly we needed an architect to guide the structural transformation to get the exterior look we wanted. We needed plans to guide the builders and elevations so we could see how it would appear on the site. Jeffrey Morton brought all of that and more. He has a flair and enthusiasm for renovation and saw the possibilities right away. After a thorough inspection of the structure from the foundation crawl space to the roof and the exterior from every angle, he quickly produced a first draft. The fuzzy vision in our imaginations was clearly rendered on paper. When the tricky roof line conversion needed some additional work, he provided the revisions promptly. The project was completed and is everything we hoped for.”

“Aaron has two qualities that aren't always found in architects and designers. First, he is talented with design and architecture. Second, he knows what works in the real world, having actual experience in the building trades. He used both of these skill sets to contribute greatly to the success of several projects when he was staff designer and project manager for FACE Properties, including an award winning restoration project that include tax credits and a tight budget. Aaron listens well, has vision but respects client ideas and is a joy to work with. When he got an opportunity to tackle a significant project with a different firm, we were sorry to lose him. Now that he is back in the area and has his own firm, we are again happy to employee his skills working on new projects with us. I recommend him without reservation.”

“Amber is one of the most interesting people you will ever meet. Very creative and able to come up with many design solutions to challenging problems. She is incredible!!”

“Triphon is top of the line. He works efficiently and has great rates. He is a jack of all trades, which makes him the best kind of contractor.”

“When we began our search for a contractor to build a modern interpretation of a Frank Lloyd Wright Usonian style house in the Galena Territories we were more than a little concerned about finding someone to undertake this very custom project. Luckily we found Bill Miller and Galena Hillside Homes. Despite the fact that there isn’t a single right angle in the entire house, Bill was not at all hesitant in taking on the project. From the beginning planning discussions through the completion, Bill and his team consistently went the extra mile to be sure that every detail was performed exactly to the architect’s vision and our expectations. Bill and every one of his subcontractors went out of their way to keep us fully informed of progress details and willingly accepted our extensive input throughout the project. From the custom framing and custom colored concrete floors to the individual masonry and cedar paneling and soffits, each job was done with attention to detail and artistry. One of the essential elements to the Usonian design is the custom built in cabinetry, shelving, and seating, and the challenge is finding a craftsman who can accomplish it. Bill’s son Jonathan was more than up to the task and is truly a master craftsman with wood. His results went beyond our considerable expectations. None of our questions were ever too small and Bill and all of his crew were always available by phone, email, and text to answer every question which came up throughout the project and made sure to get it right each step of the way. Bill made what could have been a very difficult endeavor a pleasurable experience. We highly recommend Bill Miller and Galena Hillside Homes for your home construction or remodeling needs.”
