“We chose First Galena to oversee the building and construction of our All-American Home and could not be more pleased.

Forster Construction
New & Custom Home Builders in Stephenson County
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJanuary 13, 2015
“Forster Construction built our new home. During the process of design and pricing, Tom and Cindy were great to work with. They listened to what we wanted in a house, provided us options of quality product and workmanship with our cost in mind. Throughout construction, they were always available for questions and clarifications, were on site to be sure work was being done to get the quality we were promised, kept our budget in mind and completed it ahead of schedule. This made the construction of our house a fun and exciting process. We would definitely use Forster Construction again. They didn't just build our house, they built our home!”
Galena Hillside Homes
New & Custom Home Builders in Stephenson County
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsOctober 30, 2014
“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.”

Quality West Construction Inc
New & Custom Home Builders in Stephenson County
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsSeptember 12, 2022
“I had and old house on Lake Wisconsin, which is north of Madison about 25 miles that needed too many repairs to where it was better to tear it down and build a new house rather than try to fix it up. I hired the folks from Quality West Construction to build me my custom dream house and it turned out absolutely awesome, way above and beyond my wildest expectations. You hear all of the contractor nightmares about starting and stopping building your house for weeks at a time, no call backs or immediate responses to your questions, cranky workers and shabby construction. The folks from Quality West Construction, their many different crews and experts were absolutely fantastic, super friendly, answered all questions in a quick response and the craftmanship was AMAZING to say the least. They have assembled a team of the Best of Best carpenters, electricians, plumbers, framers, flooring, drywall, painters, etc.. in the business. My only analogy would be that if there was an international house building event these guys would win the Gold Medal hands down. We had to have the house inspected before I could move in and we received a perfect score, which is the first time in 23 years that happened to this inspector! He was super impressed, which really made me feel great and was the icing on the cake. Lastly, three years after I moved in I had a couple things that need to be fixed and the owner himself, Gary Karls came out and took care of it free of charge, now that's customer service at it's best! I would Highly recommend Quality West Construction for your next housing or remodel job. I give them an A+++”
