Customer Reviews

Marjorie Pierson

We highly recommend Will Johnson Builders to anyone seeking an extraordinary design/build experience. We’ve just completed an extensive renovation of our 25-year-old home with them, and the beautiful results far exceed our initial expectations. We’d build or renovate with them again in a heartbeat. From the start of the design process, Rebecca and Ben were consummate professionals and excellent collaborators. Both took ample time to understand our vision and goals for the project. Ben translated those into expertly crafted plans, with great creative solutions to design challenges along the way. Great documentation and communication and an online project management platform helped us feel comfortable through the budgeting phase, which led to a remarkably enjoyable building phase with project managers Mike and Becky. Mike, Becky and their entire team brought our plans to life with extraordinary craftsmanship and attention to detail. They were warmly responsive, swiftly and thoughtfully addressing every question, concern or idea we had during the build. Becky was the perfect interiors pro, helping us source and install the elegant and unique design details that make our house a more beautiful reflection of our own personal style. To all the WJB staffers who worked on our project, we thank you. To anyone considering a new residential project, we encourage you: hire Will Johnson Builders. They are terrific!

Dear Reader, In today's media landscape, where "star reviews" often dictate perception, it's easy for the true story and essential characteristics of a company to get lost. However, Will Johnson Building Company deserves far more than a 5-star review. Their tireless pursuit of excellence is truly unparalleled in the construction and building industry. Having been involved in both commercial and residential construction projects, I've had the pleasure of working with many wonderful groups. Yet, no one, and I mean no one, compares to Will Johnson Building Company. From Ben's incredible design language, which transforms your dream into a tangible reality, to Rebecca's meticulous project oversight, which ensures that dream comes to fruition, and Julie's influential design inspiration, to the unrelenting standards set by Mike and his on-site project team—this company is the real deal from beginning to end, top to bottom. If you are ever fortunate enough to have the opportunity to be one of their clients, I urge you to seize it. The experience is unlike any other, and the memories you create with their team, thanks to their exceptional work, will last a lifetime. A 5-star rating is a massive understatement for a team of this caliber.

As a showroom consultant I have worked alongside a multitude of homeowners and builders. When you are involved in the industry of residential building and in this case- Custom Home Building, you are quick to realize quality and craftmanship, and even more so when it is paired with an overwhelming sense of 'good people'. Will Johnson Building company is the whole package. They consist of a team of dedicated individuals who are incredibly talented. With over 30 years of experience, their company has grown and evolved yet still remains family-owned and operated. That is something special, and it reflects through their work. From the beginning of each project, they are in constant communication with their clients to turn their dreams into a reality. Whether it is a renovation (both small and large scale) or a new build, they thoroughly make sure no detail is missed. Their ability to pair unique architectural aspects with beautiful infrastructure, and of course design--is unmatched. Above all else, the thing that impresses me the most is their sense of family, and everyone's genuine respect for all the moving pieces that must come together perfectly throughout the course of each individual job. I love working with the Will Johnson Team, and would recommend them to anyone looking to build or renovate!
