Theresa Linck

My experience with Droste & Sons has been a positive experience from start to finish! The other construction companies I called to bid on finishing my basement would only discuss my project over the phone and ask me to send them pictures of my unfinished basement prior to sending a proposal. Jeff Droste personally came to my house, inspected/measured the basement, discussed layout, and budget. Soon afterward I received a detailed plan and proposal! Their personal touch and reputation made me feel confident I chose the right company to finish my basement. The construction started and finished as projected. Permits were obtained and building codes were followed. Jeff Droste came daily to check on the progress and gave me an opportunity to voice any concerns. I was emailed regularly on who and what trades would be coming that day. The carpenters skills were outstanding! I’m so impressed with their craftsmanship and attention to detail. All the trades people who came were professional, worked as a team, and gave it 100% while here. The job site was always clean! Everyone picked up and swept daily plus construction waste was removed on a regular basis. I am absolutely thrilled with the end result! Droste transformed my basement into an inviting living space for my family. A dream come true! Thank you Jeff and team! Sincerely, T. Linck

When we bought our 150+ year old home, we asked around for construction references and kept hearing "Droste". So that is who we chose, and they are the only contractor we will ever choose! They are so easy to work with, their knowledge of old homes is extensive, and their craftsmanship is exceptional!! They stand behind all that they do. In our opinion, they are the best of the best.

The folks at Droste & Sons were contracted to build an unattached garage project to our home. Within days we were presented with a draft drawing that captured our vision perfectly. When work began, the Droste crew were always polite and professional as they utilized their skills to build the structure with excellence in craftsmanship. We also called on Droste & Sons to remodel our deck and once again the excellence in craftsmanship was always front and center. Darrell & Elaine Defiance, Mo.

Beautiful kitchen/hearth room/breakfast room/powder room/dry bar/communication center project completed by Droste Construction with Centorbi Cabinetry. This was a complex project handled very well by Nate Droste and team and Derek Centorbi and team and a long list of qualified subcontractors. Thank you!

Bob Lail

A few months ago, our basement flooded. Droste & Sons installed new drywall, a sump pump, and subcontracted the flooring. Since we've owned the home, they are the third construction company we've worked with — and easily the best! They're honest, gave us good advice, and paid attention to detail. My wife and I would hire them again for another project.
