I asked to give me and estimate for rebuilding chimney. I appreciated that they were honest and stated that they were busy for the rest of the season and were accommodating by referring me to someone that did have the time and expertise to do the job.

I didn't use them because, though the experience was OK, they were the highest of the ones I had to pick from. I contacted them because of their high reviews on Angie's List, but I wasn't super impressed.

They finally got the windows in 8 months later and finally just recently caulked. He had to order a new bathroom window. Andy has been very disrespectful during this whole process. I offer them coffee but they show up whenever they want. He argued with me over 3 months about the color of the window. He doesn't return your calls. He is just very unprofessional. His stuff was all over the yard, the back and the garage. They did not have a protected window in my bathroom, also I wanted a right height toilet, and never received them.
Description of Work: They are supposed to do windows and caulk around

Wonderful. The owner Andy Braatz and his crew cleanly and efficiently removed the carpet, then told us options - light sanding vs heavy sanding and refinishing vs laminate - the pros, cons, and prices of each. We selected the laminate and requested an anti-mold underlayment. They were able to match the oak hardwood floor perfectly. The job was done very professionally - it looks like a brand new room - spectacular looking. The work is highest quality. They know their stuff, their work is impeccable - and the price was very competitive - much lower than I expected. The carpentry repair of my chair also outstanding. Would use them again in a heartbeat. Highest recommendation.
Description of Work: Remove carpeting and glue from hardwood floor. Educated us regarding options to cover badly stained floor. Installed perfectly matching laminate floor at excellent cost. Moved and returned furniture as part of job. Repaired antique chair - restored to perfection.

We choose Braatz because he talked us out of some of our proposed re-modelling plans, pointing out items that were unnecessary, such as removing the bathtub and an intricate older tile floor. Andy showed an incredible sense of detail and followed through on everything. Braatz was the contractor but was not shy about recommending another company to handle installation of kitchen counters, sinks and faucets as a cost saving measure. Andy's total price was the most competitive bid we received, and the final cost did only go up, because of changes made by us. We are extremely happy with the result, and will recommend Andy Braatz to anyone. His crew is professional and very friendly.
Description of Work: Remodeling upstairs bathroom with installation of sink, vanity & new tiles in the shower, incl. required plumbing and electrical work. Refinishing kitchen cabinets, and putting down tile floor in the kitchen and downstairs powder room.

We used Braatz Building based on a referral from a friend and would refer other friends to them as well. We felt from the beginning that they were different -- trustworthy and truly worked to deliver high quality work at a fair price. Throughout the project communication was good and they always wanted to make sure we were happy. Every day we say how much we love the bathroom and new doors!
Description of Work: Our project with Braatz Building included gutting/remodeling our full bathroom, replacing all interior and exterior doors and removing/rebuilding a second story porch.

As first time builders, we wanted a General Contractor who would be open to us being very hands-on and involved throughout the process. Braatz's Building allowed us just that, as well as being accommodating to all of our requests. We are pleased with the final result and would reccommend Braatz Building to others.

Do - Do your homework - I had a good idea what type of flooring I wanted, but appreciated Andy's suggestions. Do - Get different estimates. Andy's estimate was very competitive.
Description of Work: Sales & Service. Andy brought samples of different hardwood flooring to my home for my living, dining, hall and kitchen. He offered many suggestions. I choose a beautiful oak in three different widths. Within a few days, I received an estimate for the material and installation. As soon as the material was available, we set up an installation date. Andy and his entire team were prompt, professional, friendly and very very neat. The installation took 3 days and when they left my furniture was moved from the bedrooms to the living and dining room, the old carpeting and the boxes were removed. The quality and price was exceptional.

Andy and his crew did a fantastic job! The price was right, and the quality of the work far exceeded our expectations. Andy is very professional, and his workers are all highly skilled. If I had any questions or issues during this project, they were promptly addressed and resolved to my satisfaction. When Andy came to do the estimate, I told him that the new porch was going to be the cornerstone of the entire project, and that I was really looking for something special. He responded by building a porch that was absolutely beautiful! He put a lot of extra time and effort into it, and my wife and I were overjoyed with the results. While Andy was present and took a real hands-on approach to this project, on the days he was unable to be there, his crew still performed just as if he was there. They are a great bunch of guys who are committed to the same excellence and pride in their work that Andy has in his. If you ever have a need for a quality contractor for any of your home remodeling needs, you absolutely need to contact Braatz Building. I guarantee that you will be as pleased with the results as I was.

It was like being on an HGTV show! We asked Andy to remodel our bathroom while we were on a 6 day vacation so that we wouldn't be without a bathroom during the remodel. Little did we know what a feat that would be and how hard the guys were working while we were gone, relaxing on vacation. They worked long hours to finish the project by the time we returned - and they were literally walking out the door with the last of their cleaning supplies while we pulled up to the house. The transformation was amazing. The quality of fixtures, tile and workmanship was great. I would highly recommend Braatz Building and his subcontractors to anyone - and have done so already!
Description of Work: Remodeled bathroom by removing the built-in shower and glass door, going down to the studs and rebuiliding shower walls, retiling entire bathroom, adding a new bath tub, replacing plumbing fixtures and bath fan and light.
