What Our Clients Are Saying

Since our home was completed, we have had more than 100 people come through and view it. The two comments I hear the most are “the quality of the workmanship is amazing” and “you don’t find workmanship like this any more”. As far as I am concerned, that says everything one needs to know about you and Great Lakes Carpentry. For anyone looking for a top notch builder, look no further. You will not find a better builder in all of northern Wisconsin.

Gary Patton - Senior Captain

Johnson Wax Flight Dept.

We couldn’t be happier with how the project turned out and are so thankful that we found you to help guide us through the process from start to finish. You took care of all the little details and stayed on top of all the issues that popped up. By communicating with us on almost a daily basis, we always felt secure in knowing exactly how much progress was being made and the status of the project. And by emailing pictures, we were able to see the progress! That was such a comfort since we were 4 and half hours away and couldn’t be on-site to check on the work being done. What we realized during the months of work was that you were someone we could trust – to keep us informed and make good decisions and most importantly we realized you are someone that takes pride in doing a job the right way.

Scott & Sue Sheaffer

Thanks for handling all of the sub-contracting work. There were so many details to work through and you handled them all. You made good recommendations and always communicated well with me. Each individual part of the project came in on budget and on time. You made this project easy – even, I might say, enjoyable!
