MBI-HOMES Makuski Builders Inc.

Makuski Builders have completed two remodel projects in our home. The first project was a master bath and main floor full bath. We did not hesitate to use MBI for the next project which was a major kitchen, half bath and main floor renovation. Bill's experience and knowledge were evident throughout these projects. He was able to tackle whatever challenge that was encountered. Bill communicated effectively during all stages of the remodel. The subcontractors were easy to work with and have in our home. It was evident that there was a mutual respect between Bill and his crew. We have appreciated the quality of the fit and finish. The completed projects exceeded our expectations. Bill Makuski is definitely our choice in a remodeling professional!

Makuski Builders provided us with outstanding service, impeccable craftmanship and complete coordination with both a major remodel in 2008 and a beautiful new vacation home in our dream lake location in 2010. Our vacation home location was remote, but Makuski made it easy to build even in a location 2 1/2 hours away from our primary residence. Makuski Builders has stood by their work, by making right anything that needed a follow up. They were timely, provided expert assistance in coordination of all the details it takes to build or remodel a home. I would highly recommend Makuski Builders.

We have used Makuski Builders on several projects in our home. Two major projects of a major renovation to our lower level and all the repair work from a broken water pipe. Throughout the projects they were very professional, knowledgeable and attentive. The crew is very experienced and polite. The depth of Bill's knowledge, experience and work ethic made the projects go smoothly. His honesty and his integrity was very apparent and very appreciated. We have and will continue to use Makuski Builders. We highly recommend Bill and his team.

Bill has completed several construction jobs for me at my home. All completed on-time, within budget. Unexpected additional findings -- which happen in renovations -- were dealt with upfront and professionally. As a realtor, I have referred Bill to several of my clients who wish to renovate their new homes. Estimates are fair, clear and straightforward. Communication and follow-through is outstanding. Once the project begins, there is constant work and progress until the job is finished.

Makuski Builders did an outstanding job on our kitchen remodel! We remodeled our kitchen and two baths. The job entailed a complete tear out; replacement of floor joists, a support post, new insulation and full re-build from the studs out. We wouldn't hesitate to hire MBI for another project in the future for the following reasons: 1) Bill Makuski has a tremendous sense of urgency, trust and customer satisfaction that is very hard to find in a builder. 2) His subcontractors are all seasoned professionals, always polite and delivered high-quality custom work, including the custom cabinetry. 3) His team exceeded all of our expectations for quality, cost, timeliness and cleanliness/clean-up. 4) Bill also worked well with our other contractors for electrical and flooring and project managed everyone. We're a satisfied reference and referral customer of MBI. Bill has pictures of the project upon request.

Bill Makuski, of Makuski builders was a pleasure to work with and meticulous. He was respected by all his subcontractors and you knew that whether Bill was on or offsite. Bill was very accessible and responsive to calls, voicemail, email or text. He was honest and forthcoming about expenses and didn't nickel and dime us. Four years later, we still love to come home, entertain others and show off the beautiful, quality work that was done. We would hire him again in a heartbeat!

Makuski Builders, Inc., owned by Bill Makuski, is a phenomenal company and person, respectively. We hired Bill to build our dream home and what a success it was! Bill is extremely knowledgable in his trade and puts forth the energy necessary o make the process as smooth as possible. Bill provides great direction and brings up the finer details that one may overlook during the building process. Bill's most noticable and appreciated traits include; organization, dependable, responsive, and very personable. Thank you, Bill, for a great experience.

Bill Makuski said he didn't know if he would bid our remodeling job because he would be one of six bids. If I was getting six bids to choose the lowest bid, he wasn't interested. He surprised me by later saying he would bid it (I was lucky that it was during the recession of 2008). Three contractors dropped out because they felt the job was over their heads. It was a house of 5070 sq.ft. and we were gutting it. Thus, Bill Makuski's bid was one of three. His bid and another were even, and a third was lower. I discounted the lower----I didn't feel he was as knowledgable. I chose Bill because, after talking to his references, they raved that he didn't go over budget. They said he was very careful about that. Bill explained that he bids higher than some contractors because he gives a high budget for fixtures, etc., whereas some contractors will give a low budget on them and the client has to go over to get what they like. I'd done that before, so it made sense. True to his references, Bill stayed in budget. He had reasonable allowances for fixtures, and we didn't go over. He was knowledgable, and had a great team of sub-contractors. He had good aesthetic taste, and I worked with his decorator. Between the three of us, we transformed it into a beautiful place. I cannot recommend Bill Makuski enough. Not only did he do a great job, he has come over several times to check on a problem, totally unrelated to his remodeling work. I'm fortunate he agreed to bid it. Three contractors dropped out because it was too big of a job. Bill could handle it, and did it well.
