FRENTZEN CONSTRUCTION INC

Jan Frentzen came highly recommended to me. This was a fairly large project and I suspect more difficult than a new home because of complexities of tying into an extremely unusual existing home. The addition was 584 sf; two bedrooms and a laundry room as well as some work in a existing room in the house where the addition would tie into. It was all masonry. The existing house is an usual home built in 1979 by a local architect for himself. Putting up a addition that served our needs AND tied into the existing house so that it didn't look like addition was a challenge. The end result was excellent. Jan Frentzen spent a tremendous amount of time with me working on this addition before I ever signed a contract or wrote him the first check. The price of the project was very competitive; however, I would say Jan's competence and honesty would be the biggest selling points I'd pitch to a prospective client. He put together a quote for the job that was comprehensive and didn't result in any surprises for me during the project. He stayed extremely close to budget and delivered high quality work. The few disagreements we had over the course of the five month project were always dealt with fairly and very civilly. Highly recommend.

Overall a great job, I would happily work with them again.

Jan Frentzen was recommended by two friends who were pleased with his work. From start to finish Jan was a true professional. We met extensively to discuss the job, he did drawings and plans that were exactly right on and then prepared a detailed estimate that was the "bible" throughout the job. The bid was a maximum with any savings credited to me and increased only by changes made by me. Jan and all his subs were top notch to work with. They all were willing to spend reasonable time discussing changes and "best practices" to make me feel good about what was under the surface of the job. I was insistent on using the Schulter underlayment system under the extensive tile that was laid. Jan's tile sub, Brian Black, is certified in using this system and did a superb job leveling the floor and installing the Schulter, underfloor heating system and tile. The plumbers, Marion and Chris from Hogtown Plumbing were great and I have had them do other repairs around the house. Craig Eaton, the electrical sub, is a meticulous pro that I would also highly recommend. The extensive electrical upgrade and additions he did patiently and competently. Jan's employees, Chris and Tim, are great pros to work with as well. I had several estimates from well know local companies. One was more than double that from Jan and none were as detailed on what was to be done or its costs and none included drawings. Seldom do you meet people as easy going as Jan. He was a pleasure to deal with, really a professional. I highly recommend Frentzen Construction.
