Home Extensions in East Grand Rapids.

“Scott Christopher, or more specifically his renovation company Surpass, did a spectacular job completely remodeling our 1946 Cape Cod lake house. Previously it had very limited views of the lake but today, with the addition of a new kitchen space and elimination of numerous walls, the lake is visible from virtually every room. While the house has clearly been modernized his cabinet makers and workmen preserved the traditional feel of our old house. In addition, we signed on with a specific finish date in mind, December 24, giving them barely 4 months to complete. Although it frequently required weekend construction, which we lived through, they were done on the 20th.”

“We hired North Cove Homes to finish our basement and do a barn wood accent wall in our living room. Neal is fair and very straight forward. His crew works fast and was very respectful of our home. We were very pleased with the work they did and would definitely hire them again for future projects.”

“We hired Snowden Builder's to replace our deck with a 4 season porch, after meeting with several other companies and contractors. Bob didn't try and force his solution to fit our needs as most of the other contractors. He listened to what we wanted and came up with a solution that was perfect for us at a reasonable price.”

“Cutting Edge designed and built our basement remodel. They started with unfinished space and re-engineered load bearing walls to open it up. We now how have a wet bar, built in TV wall and shelving, a full bath, a wine closet, and space for an air hockey table. In addition, they replaced countertops in our kitchen and replaced our master bath shower. The end result is absolutely beautiful. The workmanship is top notch. As is typical with this type of project, we had some scheduling delays and minor cost overruns, but we are very happy with the finished project.”

“Excellent husband/wife team to work with! They boast attention to detail, high quality craftsmanship and such creative ideas. Their most recent home pairs a modern aesthetic with warm elements .... absolutely beautiful.”

“The Engelsma team is the best in class when it comes to their people, quality, and the experience of building a new home. We used Houzz to help provide the vision of what we were looking for in our new home and they made it come to life. Our rustic modern mountain retreat is something quite amazing. Building a custom home can be a daunting task, but their design team made everything seem effortless. From the Floorplans to fixtures and the smallest details, the craftsmanship is amazing. Their woodworking team built all the custom alder cabinets and their carpenters created a work of art. I had the opportunity to visit the project every day and interact with all the folks on their team and all the subcontractors. Every one that worked for or with Engelsma were wonderful to get to know. As we sit in our living room and go into thought, I look around at the work of art that their team created, amazed at every detail that we had the honor to be apart of. We had the pleasure of moving in a couple months ago and as I walk through our home, I see the faces of everyone that put their mark on every little thing that went into it. The craftsmanship and detail is unbelievable and we feel so blessed that words cannot express how thankful we are for you, Jason, Kevin, Ryan, Mel, Corinne Allison & Jaclyn, Melissa (for dealing with “Bob the Builder next door), Casey, Nick, Darryl, Sammy, Rob, Tyler, Glen & Kurt, Tommy, Herman, the painting team lead by Joe Corey Kayla Erica Will Phil, Brian Brandon and the team, Dave on the deck, Dan Mike & Jeff on the drywall, Don Allen Jeramy Mike Tommy and the team on the masonry, Jim & Nate on the concrete, Mark Ryan and the siding team, Pat and the team on flooring, Don and his sons on the tilework, Crazy Carl and team on the plumbing, Steve, Eric and team on the electrical, Jason’s mom Nancy and the cleaning team, Kerry Dan and the team at Standale, DeeDee on the blinds, the Belden team, and everyone else that played a role in making our dream come true. I may have missed a couple people, but I see them all in every part of our home and will continue to be thankful for the thought that was put into every part that went into the house that is now our home. God has truly blessed us with allowing us to work with their entire team. Again, words can’t express how thankful we are to work with such wonderful people.”

“I am very selective of the builders I work with, Rich Bloem is one of the most knowledgeable Sustainable/Green Builders I know. His knowledge of building science is far above all of his competition. I work highly recommend Rich Bloem as a Builder and a Green Rater.”

“Mike Schaap Builders is committed to excellence in building from start to finish. It shows in their work and their relationships and reputation.”

“I hired Kenowa Builders for a complete remodel of our family home. Dealing with the entire Kenowa team was great. At the beginning of the project we sat down and reviewed the entire scope of the project and the needs of our family. They took everything we discussed, put it into a plan with a time line. Through out the course of the remodel they were always there, responding to my phone calls, answering my questions and giving me updates as to the progress. They were also very receptive to last minute changes we would make in the plan. They listened to our needs, wants and desires and then made it happen. I could not be happier with the end results. With the vision they brought, they took our old home and made it a contemporary show place.”

“I recently worked along side Irish Builders on a mutual project (new construction). I was impressed with the level of quality that they display not only in their material choices, but also in their installation. The attention to detail is impressive, and the end result is beautiful, quality construction. They were always open to decorative ideas, and offered many creative solutions to the home owner. We won the People's Choice Award for "our" Parade home. I'm excited for our next joint venture.”
