“We worked closely with Ron Rutkowski in planning and executing our recent project. We have completed projects with Ron in charge for over 12 years. He has always been amazing at listening to our wishes, understanding our vision and finding innovative solutions! He is very kind and professional in all his communication. Ron also ensures that the projects are executed in a timely fashion. We give Ron our warmest recommendations!”

“My wife Stacey and I began looking for a custom builder to help us make our dreams come true by developing a vacation cottage and eventually our permanent residence on a 3 acre undeveloped lakefront property. Based on recommendations from others and our personal meetings and evaluations, we choose Johnson Group Builders to help our visions become a reality. Doug Wickens was our first contact with the company and he quickly instilled in a us a sense of trust. He was our "project manager", guiding us through the process, developing a budget and timeline, and helping us to understand the entire project. There were elements of the project we were very clear about, and other parts where we just weren't sure what we wanted to do. That is where the rest of the team stepped in and contributed to our complete satisfaction. Mike Van Horn was the architect for our project and he did a remarkable job of listening to what was important to us and blending it with suggestions that were relevant to our personal styles and desires. The 3D renderings that accompanied the plans were incredibly helpful in turning drawings into a visual understanding of what we were developing together. The plans to build the cottage were completed in (2) revisions (preliminary and final) with minimal alterations to get from where we started to what was built. His ideas were smart and consistent with our desires for the project. Ivan Wickens and Amy Riebel took the plans and helped us to add the style and personal touches we wanted into our own space. They guided us through selection processes and did a fantastic job of managing the execution of the building process, especially since we were doing this from over 400 miles away. They were flexible in meeting with us and very accommodating throughout the entire process. Both Ivan and Amy have the highest of standards regarding quality and the expertise to be very effective in both encouraging and tempering (when necessary) our styles to develop a wonderful finished project. Tim Johnson was a pleasure to work with as well and we are very much looking forward to developing our dream home with Tim and his team. Our project has several unusual challenges, but based on our experience so far and what the Johnson Builders Group has demonstrated to us in their professionalism, attention to detail, and craftsmanship, we are so excited about the journey we are on with this team.”

“I have had the privilege of viewing/touring New Urban Home projects over the past several years. Scott is a consummate professional with an attention to detail and process that insures a spectacular home. Every visit to his homes/sites, I notice two consistent observations. First the sites are always clean orderly and secure. Second they homes are well built, energy efficient and offer progressive design elements. If you are in the market for a premier home builder in the West Michigan and lakes shores area, then New Urban Home is where you should start and end your search.”
