After! We completed an extensive addition and remodel on this Lake Wisconsin home last fall! And we’re not exaggerating to say we’re thrilled with how this project turned out!
In This Issue: Frey Awarded “Best of Houzz” Angie’s List Super Service Award Spring Cleaning Checklist St. Patrick’s Day Fun! March 2016
Our past Client, Mark DeClute came to us for help with updating his home. He knew he wanted to keep the general feel of the existing house, and envisioned some upgrades along with additional space. Of course it can take quite some time to come up with a plan that matches needs with a budget that’s doable, and over several months our Remodeling Team worked with Mark to do just that. Details and options were meticulously laid out to be exactly what he had in mind. The A-frame’s renewed and expanded space is definitely a
relaxing getaway, with an open floor plan that’s perfect for entertaining. What’s our favorite part of the project? Without a doubt, it’s the new 4-season porch, with our innovative 4-track window system. Mark can enjoy the space year round, with windows that easily slide open to welcome the summer breeze. Every crew of our company had a hand in this project. The initial design work—with Scott Frey and our Remodeling Consultants—called for brainstorming with Mark first. Next, we put the pieces together to ensure the project was planned absolutely perfectly. As always, our Production Managers worked hard to ensure all details were executed according to the plan, from ordering products
to scheduling onsite time for each of our production crews. From the Remodeling Division, to windows, roofing, gutters, and siding, along with some of our favorite subcontractors, this project was definitely completed by our entire team. They say it takes a village... In this case, it most definitely did! We’re truly proud of our amazing team’s quality work from inception to finish, and truly pleased with these beautiful end results! This project proved once again that we will work tirelessly to make dream home improvements a reality, on a budget.

“[We chose to contract with you because] of your quality of work, price, local business, friendliness, and knowledge of employees. We feel great about the work your company does! We are very satisfied with everything. We appreciate the follow through and follow-ups your employees gave and everyoneespecially Katie has been friendly, knowledgeable, and understanding.” ~Jason and Taya Curtis, Mazomanie (Gutters, January 2016) “[I chose to contract with you because] I saw some neighbors had also hired Frey Construction for repairs. I appreciate the follow-up inspections of the work done and the warranty of the work performed. The door was replaced from the garage to the outside and the trim around the overhead garage looked very nice when it was done. The workers were on time, got it done quickly, were very easy to work with, and also cleaned up after they were done.” ~John Bilek, Middleton (Garage Door, December 2015) “[I chose to contract with you because] Gera Bodley was extremely impressed with how your firm worked when you replaced her roof. She told me more than once how efficient and exacting your crew was!! I feel the work your company does is excellent. It was great to work with Stacey and all the workers who came here. Victor is excellent, I’ve worked with many capable people over the years. Victor and Stacey are on top! I love what you’ve done with my ideas for how to remodel my bathroom!!! The work is beautiful, a joy and so very well done!! My father, grandfather, and many others who helped built this house, would also be delighted with your fine work. Thank you.” ~Caroline Greenwald, Madison (Bathroom Remodel, December 2015)

“[I chose to contact with you because] I had contacted you for a bath remodel first. Scott Frey then suggested new gutters and leaf protection. Your workers answer any questions, one did while working. Your company does an excellent job of cleaning up after. Scheduling is timely as well as work completed. The gutters were installed on November 2nd and the first rain came November 5th. It was the first time eaves in the corner by the front steps didn’t spill over. I will observe when spring comes. Thank you!” ~Karen Stittleburg, Spring Green (Windows & Gutters, November 2015)

“[I chose to contract with you because] I figured as many vehicles and job trailers I saw, they must be a reputable company to have work on my home. I feel your company is responsible, dependable, completes the job as contracted to do, and most of all doesn’t leave clean up to the customer. I wouldn’t hire any other contractor. I always look for quality not quantity when I have work done. That’s what I get with Frey Construction.” ~Joan Hyatt, Lodi (Doors, November 2015)
