We had a wonderful experience working with Detail Homes from start to finish. The quality of work was excellent, communication was clear and consistent, and they checked in regularly to make sure everything was going exactly as we wanted. The team showed up when they said they would, kept the space clean throughout the project, and were respectful of our home the entire time. The cost was very reasonable and we are so happy with the level of craftsmanship and service provided...all within the original budget! On top of all that, they were a genuine joy to work with. We would absolutely hire Chris and his team again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality work.
We were fortunate to hire Detail Homes (DH) to build our house in Highland Bridge. DH maintains high quality standards and pays close attention to detail (as their name suggests!). They have been consistently open, collaborative and responsive in their dealings with us and our architect. DH also helped to navigate some challenging situations related to the build. Our house was completed on time and within budget. The people at DH have been just super, and we are very pleased with the results!
The crew from DH exceeded our expectations. Their creativity and craftsmanship meant we never had to worry about solving problems which often accompany historic home renovation. We felt heard and appreciated their consistent communication, especially given that our project was a 3 1/2 month effort.DH also stayed within budget and completed the work within the agreed terms. AMAZING!!We highly recommend Detail Homes for any renovation.
I worked with detail homes to build my legacy home inWisconsin. It is Amazing! Detail did high quality work, they listened to my concerns and we were able to talk things through.Building a home is a process and Detail did a good job walking through this process with me. They worked great with Charlie and Co and Engler Studios! what an amazing team
We have designed multiple homes built by Detail Homes, and they consistently impress. The company is capable, diligent, fair, and cost-conscious, delivering excellent results without compromising quality. Chris Van Klei makes the design and build process enjoyable, bringing not only skill but also a friendly, approachable sense of fun that unites the team in a positive way.
