WIRTZ'S WOODWORKS INC

Good. The finished job was very good. No additional fees. He seemed leery about doing some things and I think it may have not known things in certain areas.

In our kitchen, we had a peninsula with a laminate countertop that was supported by a 2" square wooden leg. We were scheduled to get new granite countertops and I contacted Wirtz's to find out if they could make me a new leg or something that would support the heavier weight of granite. I dealt with Brian and he was great. He explained that what I probably wanted was a plywood subtop, which he could create for me. He told me he could have someone come and measure but that would cost me extra, so I could just measure my countertop and send him the specs to save money, which I did. He was quick, the plywood subtop was perfect, and I really trusted Brian. I would recommend Wirtz's for woodworking needs!

They are coming back one more time. The job was awesome. They did a great job. They have a little finishing stuff to do but I told them not to hurry. They sent several different contractors. They had a drywaller, carpenters and a guy who did some tile work and a guy who did the shower. Everyone was awesome. Everyone was really easy to work with.

They were great. We had him come out and looked at property and give us a quote. The guy was excellent and very professional. We chose not to go with them because their quote was twice from what we've gotten from another contractor. He's competent and great guy; I wish I could have afforded him. He was very knowledgeable about the construction of the house and how he would fix it. He showed us some pictures of his work; he obviously is a professional and knew exactly what he was doing. He certainly arranged things and he was able to get out there and see us right away which we really appreciated. I would definitely consider using them in the future if needed.

From the beginning Jim was easy to talk to and work with. His understanding of what we wanted and his experience in working with older houses were main reasons we chose him to do the work. We were not disappointed. We were especially glad for his expertise as we encountered issues opening up our old walls. We came to trust the high standard of work he expected from his workers. All the people he brought to our project did excellent work and took personal pride in what they did. Some went beyond what they were required to do to make sure the job was done right and they never missed a day cleaning up the work space. The custom cabinets, built in Jim's shop, are beautiful and very well made. We love showing them to people. Jim was very approachable if there were questions or concerns and worked hard to make sure we were satisfied. He was regularly on site and always available to us throughout the project,. This was our first experience with remodeling. We had heard many stories of renovations gone wrong, but we can homestly say our whole experience working with Jim Wirtz and his team was a very positive one. We were so pleased with the quality, craftsmanship, and look of our new kitchen and that it blends in well with the rest of our home. The frosting on the cake: Jim submitted our project to the NARI Home Remodeling Show and won an award for it. We highly recommend Jim Wirtz for a quality renovation project and a good professional experience. We would not hesitate to use him again for a future project.

It turns out what I wanted done was way more than I would ever pay. I knew I was being optimistic when I called because I knew it would be a lot of work for just one window. His estimate was reasonable based on what I wanted done. In the end he suggested a different approach and even refunded my money. I don't think any other company would have done this.

It turned out OK. There were no additional charges. The guy who came I think was the owner and he seemed like an OK guy but he seemed like he was in a hurry actually but I assumed that he was busy.

The quality of the work was very good.The timeliness was a problem. There were delays in getting the work done and the communication with the company was not always satisfactory.

Wirtz's Woodworks, Inc. did a good job. He's a very pleasant fellow. He bent over backwards to help design the windows that we liked. They're pretty expensive windows.

He came out and gave me an estimate, we made a date and he was no call no show. Had to call several times to learn that he'd been not feeling well, lost an office person. A couple of young guys did the work but it was billed before it was completed. When I asked that it be finished and sent photos of the unfinished work, it was adequately done.

They should just tell you if your job is too small instead of not responding.

The person in charge did not follow through with what he said he would do. I had to fight for what needed to be done. The quote was not honored and they wanted to charge extra for the work.

I used the big deal for this service and I just paid the charge that was there through the deal. There was no additional charge. They're very punctual and dependable. They were able to do what needed to be done. I don't know if I would use them again in the future mainly because they're very specialized.

Brian was on time and very experienced. The job was over two days but was completed.

Wirtz's woodworks was part of an Angie's list deal if the day which was $55 for $200 worth of work. I called Jim over for an estimate for replacing rotted wood boards on my garage. I thought the estimate for replacing the boards or siding the garage was high so I opted to replace a garage man door and get a cat door cut into a basement door instead. Ever since then Jim Wirtz has been very difficult to work with. I have called him repeatedly over the last 4 months and he doesn't return my calls in a timely manner or keep me in the loop on this simple project. I actually had to call Angie's list to get him to call me. When he finally called me he said they were swamped with work which I didn't find as an excuse not to at least call me or keep me in the loop. I finally got some of his employees over in mid January to assess the project which they said they would be back to complete in a week and I haven't seen or heard from them since. I have given up calling this company and now I'm out $55. Lesson learned. Now I'll be more leery about an Angie's list deal of the day.

He is terrific. He exhibits excellence in his work. Everything that he has done here has been really true to the character of the house. He has always been excellent at what he did. At the time that I was using him it was a very busy time in the industry. It was hard to get on his schedule. That would be my only con because everything else was a pro. He is professional and very knowledgeable, especially about older homes. I felt that that was his strong point. He is very meticulous too. I get a lot of value. I am very pleased with that.

They stuck to their price. I just had to pay a few dollars for a few miscellaneous pieces of wood. They were very professional and offered great advice on shelving. I'm looking for some more projects for them to complete for me!

Mr. Jim called to say he was running late. Assured the problem and described how it would be fixed the problem involved replacement of and frac12; of a basement window with plywood to accommodate with the dryer vent.

Read above....there were No services preformed.

From the beginning Jim Wirtz made us feel like we were his only clients. His accessibility was fantastic. Jim made several trips to our home during the planning stages and continued visiting our renovation to check and recheck dimensions with our contractor and us. We received beautiful inset cabinets, drawers, spice racks, and AWESOME wine racks! Jim's installation team did a super job and were a pleasure to work with. We couldn't be happier!

They really did a wonderful job working with my husband and incorporating his ideas into the design. We absolutely love how everything turned out!

Jim is great and always knows the tricks of the trade to make things fit in an old house with crooked door frames! He's also sensitive to the period the house was built so he can help with style choices as well. He helped us find railing brackets and doorknobs for the closet doors that reflect our homes style and period.

Jim's knowledge base, attention to detail, and ability to envision the big picture / finished product is phenomenal. He was responsive to all of my calls and e-mails -- always had very good suggestions -- and executed in a timely and professional manner. His team left our house spotless every day. Every day. Jim isn't the least expensive quote you're going to find out there -- but the incremental dollars are money well spent. I fully intend to use Wirtz's Woodworks in the future for our kitchen and bathroom remodels in 2011.

Jim totally understood our vision and need to blend this remodeled space into our 1916 prairie style home. The result is a beautiful and creative space that fits perfectly with the rest of the house. The custom made quarter sawn oak cabinetry is spectacular and the quality exceptional. Like having fine Stickley furniture in my kitchen! All of Jim's crew and subs were wonderful and a pleasure to have in and out of the house. There were numerous unforeseen problems including major foundation issues, electrical and plumbing. These were easily handled by the team and other professionals and we felt that the additional costs were fair. We received regular progress updates and were able to reach Jim whenever we had questions or concerns. The project was finished on time as promised. We have recommended Wirt'zs Woodworks to other friends for both major and small projects. We have several other projects for our house in mind for the future and would not use anyone else but Wirtz's Woodworks!!

They were wonderful. Their service was incredible. Their prices were reasonable. I'd give their quality of work an A+++.
