Throughout my interactions with the company, I found Jon Woods, the CEO of the Wood Builder homes a responsible honest and fair person. I recommend Wood builders as a reliable and affordable company to build you your future home with.

JEFF KREMERS on Woods Builders Homes Inc.

I am writing this review to warn anyone who is thinking about working with Woods Builders Homes Inc., and specifically its owner, Jon Wood.

I did not hire this company to build a home for me, so I cannot speak to the quality of their construction. What I can speak to, in detail, is my direct experience dealing with John Wood as a businessman — and based on that experience, I would never trust this man or this company with something as important as a home.
Woods Builders subcontractors have repeatedly crossed onto our private property to access his job site. This happened multiple times. There was no permission given, no easement, no legal right to do so.

I contacted him about it. Twice. Calmly. Directly.

What followed was one of the most frustrating and disillusioning interactions I’ve ever had with someone in business.

Jon Wood acknowledged that his subs were wrong. But in the same breath said he can't control them. Yes you can Jon, you pay the invoice they send you for the work they do for YOU! He also told me things that were later proven to be false. Not once, not twice, but three separate times. Each time I challenged him with evidence of his lies the story changed. Eventually, after being cornered by facts, he admitted that he had not been telling me the truth.

Let that sink in.

This wasn’t a misunderstanding.
This wasn’t a miscommunication.
This was someone who knew he was in the wrong, knew he was crossing property he did not have the right to use with cranes, cement trucks, heavy equipment and chose lies instead of owning it.

That tells me everything I need to know.

If someone will lie to me about something as basic and verifiable as simple facts, what will they do when you are a customer with a contract, money on the line, and a house being built?

If someone is willing to ignore property boundaries and act entitled to land that isn’t theirs, how will they treat your boundaries, your budget, or your concerns?

I cannot speak to their craftsmanship. But I can absolutely speak to their character.

And based on my direct experience, Jon Wood has demonstrated:

A willingness to trespass when it is convenient

A willingness to lie when confronted

A willingness to only tell the truth after being caught

That is not the behavior of someone I would trust to run a project that costs hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Building a home requires honesty, transparency, accountability, and respect — not just for clients, but for everyone affected by the project. In my dealings with Jon Wood, I saw none of that.

If this is how he treats someone who isn’t even his customer, imagine how difficult it would be to deal with him once you are financially and contractually tied to him.

There are many builders in the Grand Rapids area. You have choices. Based on my experience, I strongly suggest choosing someone who respects property lines, tells the truth the first time, and doesn’t need to be caught before being honest.

I would never hire Woods Builders Homes Inc.

I would never trust Jon Wood with my property, my money, or my home.

I highly recommend Woods builders for any construction or renovation project. They had creative ideas for my renovation and came up with additional thoughts that I had not considered. Their showroom was helpful with the resources they presented that fit into my vision and they followed through with every aspect of the renovation, and I was extremely pleased with the completed project. I also was very impressed with their integrity throughout and with the subcontractors that they use which were also highly capable and committed to the same quality that Woods builders demonstrates. I would recommend their company without hesitation !

The Woods Builders Homes team did an exceptional job on our addition which was a 2 story project with a total of ~800 sq. ft.. I worked primarily with Drew, and also Jonathan, who were a great duo. The attention to detail was very appreciated, they were reasonably on time, on budget, good communicators, professional, kind, reasonable, and accommodating. No swearing. Whenever we requested changes, they would work with us if at all possible to do what we hoped for. As a whole, the quality of the end product exceeded my expectations. Drew was very pleasant and fun to get to know...kind of sad we won't see him now that the project is done. The quality and aesthetics of the addition is nicer than the rest of our home. We are very satisfied with the end product and excited to enjoy it for the years to come.

I used Woods Builders to build my first house out in Rockford and they did a fantastic job. The team (Dave, Jon, Kathy and Drew) gave me updates regularly and were fast to address any questions/concerns I had. They did a quality build for a reasonable price, and I will use them if I build again. I highly recommend Dave and his team!
