Description of Work: I needed to have a 20+ foot header rebuilt on a duplex on the east side of Milwaukee, due to the wood rotting. Burkham built a support structure on the porch to support the upper balcony of the house, then tore the front paneling and header support off, rebuilt and set back down on the columns supporting them. Very professional looking job, execution and attention to detail, including multiple sets of decorative trim back on it. Would definitely hire again.

Description of Work: Burkham Built remodeled our front porch, which included replacing the skirting, decking, support posts, and railings. They did a great job of listening to my ideas for the porch as well as offering suggestions. They showed up to all the appointments we set and were very responsive to my questions and phone calls. I felt very confident that they had thoroughly looked over the project before providing a quote, and that showed through at the end of the project, as there were no additional costs. The porch looks great and is definitely solid.

Description of Work: Not sure what happened..emailed twice, each a week apart and never received a response. Checked junk mail folder as well as monitored voice mails closely thinking maybe a call back..nothing. Would have given a lower grade but sounds like they do good work, just maybe overworked this time of year or something..

We called about an estimate for converting part or all of a garage. The visit wasn't very positive--he indicated that he lived in my Riverwest neighborhood but didn't want his business associated with it, that he preferred to be associated with the more prestigious "Brewer's Hill" area. We talked about some ideas, and then we never heard from him again.
Description of Work: There were no services performed because he never got back to us after the initial visit or returned our call.

I never met this member, I meet with another individual. On the follow up meeting she never showed and I was chased down by her tenants dog. I did try reaching after the follow up meeting but I didn't leave a message. This seems unfair considering that other individual is not even a member. This seems like taking advantage of all of the great Angie's List members that do pay for the membership. As far as Riverwest goes I do have an apt. here and love it. My Office is in Brewer's Hill, my shop is down by Bay View. I have great pride in all of the Milwaukee Area and I have chosen to build my company here because the people are so great even if the cost and taxes aren't. Yes, some people judge River West with a negative light and I that is to bad but I can't be responsible for other peoples judgments. At any rate, this report does not represent the honesty of my business practices for which my customers have grown to love!

We have an older, but nice home that had a deteriorated side stoop and second story airing porch. We wanted to replace what was there with a new, more functional second story porch and lower deck, but still be consistent with the architecture and era of the house. Using photos of the original edifice, Jeremy designed a beautiful 2 story porch that blends perfectly with the style of the house. Jeremy and his crew were very professional, timely and talented. Jeremy selected all top quality materials and paid close attention to all the details. For example, Jeremy used tongue and groove bead board for the ceiling over the lower deck which he stained prior to installation so that when the boards contracted due to temperature changes, the exposed joints would not be unfinished. Jeremy delivered everything that he said he would which is so rare today.
Description of Work: Designed and built a 2 story porch including demolition of the existing structure.

Project went well, took a little longer than "forecast" but we knew there would be unknowns. Visitors are blown away. No regrets. Burkham helped think through process and outcome and we avoided big disappointments.
Description of Work: Complete buildout of a 1898 eastside basement into a "mancave." Concrete walls and floors, plaster and pipes on the ceilings became a room with a floating bamboo floor, paneled walls, bamboo accents, and a full service bar. Also turned a closet into a bath with shower and toilet. Burkham handled subs for plumbing, electrical and hvac.

This work was done on a high end home and the quality of the work done was flawless. Job took longer than expected due to discovery and resolution of some decay in joists and a beam. We were charged only nominal amount extra to address these problems. Quality of work was visably high. Board spacing was exact and there were no materials wasted due to mistakes. All screws were placed in predrilled holes, at our request, to prevent splitting the older joists. This guy is the real deal. He listens to directions and follows them exactly. He is the best I have hired in years. We sent him to a relative to do a small job on a roof deck and we have quotes for him to do additional finish work inside the residence this month.
Description of Work: Removed and repaired small amount of decay and rot, applied preventative preservative to all cuts, installed deck protector on joists and installed Trex decking.

Excellent! Jeremy and his crew are talented carpenters who care about doing things carefully and correctly. Jeremy is also very concerned about doing "green" work (selecting green materials like insulation made from recycled blue jeans, achieving an optimal level of insulation, etc.) without compromising the design. They're trustworthy and all-around nice guys. They cleaned up after themselves every day, leaving the place very neat and clean. They have great subs who are as trustworthy and talented as they are. Jeremy is always available by cell phone and e-mail. He is extremely patient and good at working with difficult people. One of the subs that I hired did a terrible job and was challenging to work with. Jeremy smoothed everything over and solved the problems leaving everyone happy. He's passionate about his work, and I think he cared about this job as much as we did! If you have a complicated job that requires creative problem solving, he's your man!
Description of Work: Jeremy and his crew completely remodeled our third floor, which includes a gymnasium/basketball court, a bedroom, closets, and storage area. Our goal was to maintain the historic look of our 105-year-old home while making it more functional with better temperature control. They tore everything down to the studs, added insulation, new windows, worked with subs to add air conditioning, new wiring and then rebuilt the walls. We wanted to save the original beadboard that lined the gymnasium. Jeremy carefully removed and stored the wood and then selected similar materials for other parts of the room. The end result is perfect -- you can't tell what's the original wood and what's the new wood that's been stained to match. He also added built-in shelves and an entertainment center that completely blend into the room, looking as if they were original to the house. We had concerns about the basketballs denting the drywall, so Jeremy added a beautiful and functional semi-circular wood panel around each hoop. We were also concerned about the basketball damaging our new TV. Jeremy built a wood and plexiglass frame to protect the TV. This job was as "custom" as it comes.

Jeremy was the most responsible and helpful with the design. He was willing to discuss our concept, had good ideas about using "green" material when possible, and was quite honest and fair in his pricing. The job went as planned, he was excellent about cleaning up each day and very punctual with his deadlines. As a young remodeler you could not ask for a better job.
Description of Work: Jeremy completely remodeled our master bedroom including drywall, built in desk, and addition of a powder room (sink and toilet). Since this room originally was two bedrooms, the structural integrity of the ceiling joists needed to maintained and the maple flooring completed where and old closet was located.

Jeremy submitted a professional quote including many details, he followed up with a phone call to tell me he could do it right away. I felt we were on the same page as to what I wanted and he started immediately. They arrived each day at 8:00am and worked until 5:00, 6:00 and & 7:00pm! The bookcase turned out to be much better than I had envisioned, I just love it. Jeremy and his great crew were the best. I would hire them again in a minute.
Description of Work: We just moved into a condo from a house and needed storage space. I had a wall that was about 8 feet wide by 8 feet high and I wanted a bookcase from floor to ceiling. I had specific requirements for the built-in bookcase. So Jeremy and his crew built the bookcase, made suggestions to improve on the plan, painted it and had it completely finished in 3 days. All this, and they had to work in the condo garage and walk up and down two flights of stairs with the wood and fitting and measuring.

We were very glad to have this taken care of and it looks great. It looks as if the house was built this way. Another carpenter that we had talked to did not know how to fix the problem and a second did not want to do the work because it was the second floor.
Description of Work: Under the gable fascia trim of our 2nd story house we have 5 decorative beams that stuck our about 18" from the edge of the roof. These beams were badly rotted. Jeremy and his crew replaced the gable trim that was also rotting with cedar (it had been pine) and then cut down the decorative beams at an angle and used hardener to stop any further deterioration. Then they repainted the trim and soffit and the beams.

Great! Because we decided to use stock cabinets and counters, Jeremy and his crew were able to start immediately after we decided to use them. They finished the kitchen in 3 days! Jeremy was able to come up with an idea to turn an area under the counter that had formerly been dead space into storage. We were very happy with how it turned out; quality work, cleaned up after themselves every day and nice guys to have around. We ended up hiring them immediately to do some work on the exterior.
Description of Work: Removed old kitchen cabinets and counter, old ceiling fan and stove hood and replaced all with new.

Everything went great from start to finish. We started the project by making some drawings on paper and then actually right on the wall. Once the planning was done they came in on a Monday and were finished with major construction in just a few days. I was very pleased with how quickly they finished the work and cleaned up in the end. Jeremy is a fine craftsman and pays close attention to detail.
Description of Work: Jeremy and his brother John cut a 5' wide by 4' tall hole in the wall separating our kitchen and dining room placing a solid cherry bar in-between the two rooms. They built an arch at the top matching existing architecture in our home. They finished everything off except for the painting which we wanted to do ourselves.

Everything on all of the projects went very well. Attention to detail is phenomenal, service, timeliness, cost were all great. You can really trust Jeremy and his crew to do things right, even if you are not around. Burkham Built may not be your cheapest bid, but I highly doubt it will be your most expensive; regardless, in the end, you will save time, money and worry working with these guys. Take it from someone who has remodeled two early 20th century era houses, it is best to go with someone with skills and character and Burkham Built is definitely all that.
Description of Work: Burkham Built, LLC, has performed several projects for us[I have included the approximate total cost for the projects above(labor only)]: (1) Built a custom cedar deck for our backyard. (2) created a second full bathroom space, including removing windows, installing siding, framing, insulating, installing flooring, etc. (3)Reworked a staircase banister and spindles to raise it up and bring it to code.
