Featured Reviews for Carol Stream, IL Home Builders

BrightLeaf Homes

Carol Stream, IL Home Builders

August 4, 2017

“Building a home was a major life decision for our family. Choosing BrightLeaf made that decision and the experience beyond enjoyable. The team at BrightLeaf was there to help guide us through every step of the way. No concern was too big, or too small. We couldn’t be happier with our home, and couldn’t have selected a better team to build it.”

“Great service driven company. Greg Always makes himself available and wants to addresses any issue. Good value and good people and most of all good work.”

Rite Way Custom Homes

Carol Stream, IL Home Builders

July 9, 2014

“Rite Way created a beautiful and custom full bathroom on the first floor of our 100 year old home. The restroom was created from a useless small room in the rear of the house and is now one of the most beautiful rooms in the house. We were able to make every decision on finishes from start to finish and were extremely pleased with the end result. The work started at the height of the hottest summer on record and finished days before we returned home from the hospital with our first child. Everything was clean during the construction and the contractors were a joy to have in our home. There is not a single visitor that comes to our home that isn't overly impressed with the way the room turned out and we have not had a single issue with the workmanship or quality of the room. We will continue to use Rite Way for any renovation project in home, big or small, and cannot recommend them enough!”

Old Towne Custom Builders, Inc.

April 13, 2016

“Commercial property renovation project. Allen Drews has been a great asset throughout this renovation process. He has provided a quality product in a timely fashion. We look forward to working with Allen again.”

Muellner Construction Inc

Carol Stream, IL Home Builders

August 12, 2013

“As an architect who designs high end custom homes and having worked with Muellner Construction for well over 20 years I can, without the slightest hesitation, state that this company exemplifies all that a building company should be, and then some. My favorite statement from Mr. Muellner is; "I built it exactly the way it is on the plans." That's not totally true......he, more often than not, builds it better! I recommend Jeff Muellner to anyone that asks "who would you use? As a testament to this I had Muellner Construction build my personal home and it is now the pride and joy of both my wife and myself.”

M House Development

Carol Stream, IL Home Builders

November 8, 2016

“MHouse is a incredible builder to work with. Scott and Elizabeth are very easy to work with, they make the experience easy and fun. Their design estetic is both modern and fresh. I love my home and I am very happy that I found MHouse to build my dream home.”

Timber Trails Development Company

Carol Stream, IL Home Builders

January 6, 2017

“We love our brand new house, great quality work. My husband is a carpenter himself and was very impressed with the quality and attention to detail that Timber Trails showed.”

King's Court Builders, Inc.

Carol Stream, IL Home Builders

September 24, 2012

“We built a new home with Kings Court Builders for the second time. Pete and his staff were great as always. I know that most people hate the process of building but we looked forward to each new phase of the build. Kings Court exceeded our already high expectations before during and after the build. If you are looking for a great home you can get that from many companies but if you are looking for the perfect home that is what Kings Court builds. Thanks to everyone at Kings Court!”

Overstreet Builders, Inc.

Carol Stream, IL Home Builders

September 22, 2014

“We have been living in our Overstreet Builders home for the past four months. Every day we are extremely thankful that we chose to build our new home with Overstreet Builders. From the moment we picked our lot to today, they have been fantastic! Our build was on time, the worksite was always clean, the sales and office staff were available and able to answer all questions, and the finished product was beyond our expectations. Before we settled on Overstreet Builders, we walked through many previously built homes and construction sites. What stood out to us about a four-year-old Overstreet home (lived in by a family with kids) was that it was in as good of condition as the model home. We could not say that about any other home we saw that was 3-5 years old. The materials and care that went into building our home are noticeably a step above many other builders. Concrete was allowed to cure before they began to build. Steel beams and pillars support our home. Energy efficient Pella windows are standard. The cabinets are custom made and the wooden floors were finished on site. The effect is visually stunning and durable. Walking into our home you would never know we have twin toddlers and two dogs. Having walked through other building sites that have glaring problems, we are thankful every day to owner, Doug Overstreet, and building superintendent, Rob Thornton, for building us a safe, secure, and beautiful home. We know that we made the right choice by building with a team that creates homes, not just houses.”
