Mark Winters Design Build, LLC
New & Custom Home Builders in Calamus
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMarch 8, 2014
“Mark hired my company 20+ years ago to do the HVAC work at all his homes. Personally I worked with Mark for over 15 years. He was a very conscientious builder who built a quality home in the area. He had a great reputation. The biggest compliment I have for Mark is Integrity, when a house was complete, I did not have to chase him down for money, it was just taken care of.”

“We bought a flip home from Shabby to Chic when we moved back to the Quad Cities in 2016. I did not want a cookie cutter house and found everything we wanted and needed in the home we bought. Janessa and C.J were amazing to work with! Their eye for design is amazing without sacrificing quality!”
Martin Combs Custom Homes LLC
New & Custom Home Builders in Calamus
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsApril 9, 2015
“We purchased a home built by Martin Combs in North Liberty and we love it. It has a very efficient layout and it's not a "cookie cutter" type of house. We also appreciate that they used quality products to build the home. You can tell they care about their work. And after the purchase we had their direct number in case anything came up, which unfortunately something did: the city forgot to remove the cap on the sewage line. Martin Combs was not at fault but they still took care of everything and worked with the city to get it corrected. I highly recommend these guys!”

“The Peninsula Development Company did a fabulous job designing and building our home. Amy was fun, organized and easy to work with. Her team showed a sincere enthusiasm through the entire process. The team was knowledgeable and ensured everything was complete to the highest standard. They had wonderful suggestions ensuring our home is not only functional but unique.

Hardtwood Homes
New & Custom Home Builders in Calamus
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJanuary 8, 2015
“Hardtwood Homes knows how to make the most of your space and budget. Dustin and Brittani do a wonderful job of taking affordable products and creating a high-end look that is a bit ahead of the curve. We recently completed a job with Hardtwood Homes and although it was a small home, they worked hard to keep the price down and still stand a tick above other homes in the price range. The kitchen products selected were an "Oyster" paint paired with quartz countertops. Right on point with what current customers are looking for in a transitional style home. We look forward to more opportunities to create great spaces with Hardtwood!”
