Lakeside Custom Builders, Inc.

Absolutely the best choice we could have made, great group to work with , all the way from the secretary to the crew to the owners, very hands on and diligent.

From managing the project to the day to day workers, they have the highest (perfectionist) standards. Would use them again.

We had Lakeside remodel our kitchen. Then 3 yrs later we had them build a home for us. We also had them for a couple of other projects. I cannot say how much pride they take in there work. All of their employees are the utmost professional and courteous. Any problems were taken care of. You may find a builder for less money but I promise you will not find a better one. Bob and Scott run a first class business.

Lakeside Builders has done numerous projects for us. The first was finishing our basement in 2007. The second was remodeling our kitchen, master bathroom, powder room, and replacing our front door and door to the garage in 2015. We have been happy with Lakeside Builders with all of our projects. They have always been very professional and have done excellent work. They always had excellent communication with us; always keeping us updated on what was going on with our project. They always cleaned up at the end of the day. Everyone who works for Lakeside or who is a subcontractor with Lakeside was always very respectful and polite. We had an unforeseen incident in December 2015 when our basement flooded. We had to replace dry wall, trim, and paint and Lakeside was very accommodating to us. They worked us in at the last minute for an estimate and were able to get the work done very quickly, so that we could get back into our basement. They came back and did a final walk through on all of our projects and finished everything to our satisfaction.

The whole team at Lakeside Custom Builders were great to work with. I was only home for 2 days of the 6 week long kitchen remodel project. Every day I came home to a clean house and saw noticeable progress in the kitchen. I was able to handle almost all correspondence through e-mail. All little aspects of the job that I thought I was going to need to discuss at the final walk-through were handled before I needed to bring them up. I got several estimates before I chose Lakeside Custom Builders. Their quote was exceptionally detailed and made it very easy for me to know exactly where I was in terms of our budget as I made choices. I would hire Bob, Scott, and the crew at Lakeside again.

We hired Lakeside to remodel our bathroom. They were extremely responsive and easy to work with. Each day they cleaned up and made sure the mess was contained to the area they were working. All the workers were very courteous and would explain what they were doing and why -- they made sure you were confident in what they were doing. We selected Lakeside due to our past experience with them. They were the original builders we selected to build our home. We later contacted them to build a deck. Based on two great experiences we selected them to remodel our master bathroom. Three major projects, Three excellent results. I would highly recommend them

Lakeside was recommended by a co-worker that Bob had done work for. In a brief conversation one evening, she explained how all of the issues she'd had with her new home were remedied by Bob. As I discussed some of the issues I had, she said I would be pleased if I called him to look at my place. My issues were a hardwood floor that kept raising in a certain area and the wall in that same area that appeared to have streaking in it. When Bob came, he looked at the floor, the wall and went down into the basement. Probably within 15 minutes he said that he thought the issue might be from the fact that the floor jack for one side of the support beam wasn't level. He felt that this could be the source of the problem. His plan was to have it slowly moved to be level. He felt that the most likely cause of the streaking in the wall was caused by the lack of foam spray type insulation being used with the type of ceiling that I have. He felt that this allowed the differences of heat and cold from the attic to the house to form this type of "condensation". This was confirmed by Home Comfort insulation that will be completing this work later this week. From past experience, I like many women always feel like someone will try to take advantage of our lack of technical knowledge involving our home or car. From my very first meeting with Bob, I found him to be extremely knowledgeable, honest and patient explaining things to me that I didn't understand. Even though I wasn't 100% sure about that floor beam being the cause, I'm glad I listened to him because it's very obvious now when I walk in my home that this will no longer be an issue. I am very glad that I listened to my co-worker and Bob for finally getting this remedied after almost 3 years of aggravation and more dollars wasted than I even care to add up.

Lakeside Custom Builders designed and constructed a Garage/Workshop next to our house including a 27X30 garage, a bathroom, 16X16 workshop, and kitchenette. It also included a concrete driveway that connects with the existing driveway and walkways to the house. We started out with a general idea of what we looking for and Bob (one of the owners) designed a floorplan and wrote specifications for the structure to fit within our budget. He even gave us ideas of work we could do ourselves to help reduce our cost. Foundation work followed shortly after we approved the specifications and when completed lead man and master carpenter Shawn and his crew (mostly Derrick) took over. They completed the framing, doors & windows, siding, and roofing doing a great job while keeping the site very clean each evening. Joe completed the trim work when the electrical, drywall, and HVAC were completed. A nice touch was installing PVC trim board around the inside perimeter of the garage so it looks great and will not be damaged if water (such as snow melting) comes in contact. Scott (the other owner) managed the overall construction including coordination with subcontractors and stopped by every day or so during the entire process to address any issues that might arise. We highly recommend Lakeside Custom Builders.

After losing our home to a tornado We contacted Lakeside builders to help us start over. They were extremely helpful in our decision making process as we had never built a home or ever planned to for that fact. They handled everything from demolishing what was left of our home and foundation to a complete rebuild of our new home. We had an idea of what we wanted to build but couldn’t find a plan so Lakeside designed the house the way we wanted it. All of the workers were very respectful and knowledgeable. They worked meticulously and always left the job site clean at the end of the day. Not only did Lakeside pay attention to ever detail, our home is also very energy efficient. Their knowledge of energy efficiency was a big help. The HERS rating on our home was excellent and just what lakeside promised us. We were in a situation to see many other houses being built at the same time as ours due to the destruction of our town. While many of our friends and neighbors were having issues and problems with the building process and workmanship, we did not. The quality of work that was put in to our house was top notch. There is nothing that I would change about our home. I would highly recommend Lakeside to anyone. Thanks! Molly Morrison

Our project was an extensive remodel that included the transition of an indoor pool to living space. Lakeside Custom Builders listened to what we wanted, understood our expectations and delivered a quality home. They were professional, courteous, careful and paid attention to the details. We would highly recommend Lakeside Custom Builders, Inc for any home construction project.

I had my main bathroom gutted and remodeled. Lakeside did a wonderful job. They offered suggestions to help make the most of the space. They helped me select the best materials for the job. They kept the area outside of the bathroom clean and as dust free as possible. The workers were polite and always very friendly. They addressed all of my concerns and kept as close as possible to the finish dates that they quoted me. I would recommend them and use them again in the future.

Our home required a total rebuild after being destroyed by a tornado. Although building a home was not something we were prepared to do, Lakeside made the process as easy and pleasant as humanly possible. We have been very pleased with our new home and hope to be in it for many, many years.
