New & Custom Home Builders Near Muscatine

“Where do we even start to tell you how wonderful Jonas Winn of WinnBuild Design is. We had been waiting to add this bathroom to our home for over 25 years, and WinnBuild made it a reality beyond our wildest dreams! His craftmanship and professionalism is of the highest degree. Not only did he have great design ideas on how to add a bathroom to the upper level of our old house, he was so unbelievably kind and understanding to work with. Jonas listened to our ideas, and the needs we required, and was able to incorporate some of the same old world charm of our home into our new bathroom. For example, he used a swing door we had in storage that originally hung between our kitchen and dining room to create a pocket door for our new bathroom, and he matched the new bathroom woodwork perfectly with the woodwork in the main living areas of our old house. He constructed a balustrade and handrails up to our sleeping area where there were none before. I have some mobility issues and what he created is beautiful and very functional. Jonas took care EVERY SINGLE DAY to clean the areas where he was working. The bathroom we added was to a finished attic area we use as a media room. We sleep in the mezzanine, or loft the next level up from that area. Mind you this area is open, and we continued to sleep there during the construction of our new bathroom. He always cleaned the space when he was done working. If he used our garage for sawing tile or woodwork, he cleaned the garage so we could use the space EVERY SINGLE DAY he was here. If you have worked with other contractors, you will understand why this is so important. Some contractors we have worked with cared nothing about how they left our living spaces when they were done for the day, or even with the entire project. We cannot recommend WinnBuild highly enough. Our new bathroom is beyond beautiful, and our 94 year old house was a challenge to work with at times. There is no doubt that we will use WinnBuild Design again. We are already planning a kitchen remodel in the future, and we will definitely be calling them, and no one else to do the work in our beloved old home. Thank you WinnBuild for making our dreams come true!!! https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/2nd-story-bathroom-build-out-pj-vj~7177200?from=-1&share=clipboard”

“I worked in construction contract administration for 25 years and have seen lots of construction. I can truly say that my home was constructed with top notch materials and the craftsmanship is excellent. Oak Tree Homes management supervised their subcontractors closely to insure quality work. Their attention to detail on finishes was exceptional. They were exceptionally creative and made suggestions that enabled us to get exactly what we wanted in our new house and yet avoid costly mistakes. I whole heartedly recommend this construction firm to anyone who is considering a new home or significant remodel.”

“Akar Architecture is lead by Sanjay Jani whom I would rate as one of this country’s top architects. Akar Architecture designs the whole house/building including the landscaping and the furnishings. And if you want, Jani is an extraordinary photographer, potter and painter who can provide the finishing touches. We live in a 5 story (including basement walkout to a secluded garden patio) house built of squares that turn 90 degrees from floor-to-floor leading to a lookout tower. At the center of the house is a winding staircase with the 4th floor library wrapped around the stairs. The house was one of Jani’s early projects while he was a partner in a prior firm. Akar projects have ranged from affordable housing to multi-million dollar houses with indoor pools, basketball courts, and walk in closets that would provide housing for a whole family! Each project uniquely reflects the dreams and needs of the particular client with customization implemented with attention to detail and craft rarely seen anymore. In addition to hiring Akar Architecture for their visionary talents, you will have entered into a life long friendship. This is a firm grounded in honesty and bubbling over in creativity.”
