“Josh Riess Construction provided construction services on a house we were renovating and did an excellent job. Their craftsmanship, quality, and attention to detail was top notch!

First Galena Corporation

Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars25 June 2015
“We chose First Galena to oversee the building and construction of our All-American Home and could not be more pleased. Nathan has gone above and beyond all expectations in designing the floor plan, guiding us through decisions on interior amenities, and coordinating all details. He has kept us well informed of the progress on our home and the site throughout the parallel construction process of a modular home. We highly recommend this family-run business without reservation. Everyone we have worked with has been phenomenal as our dream home becomes reality.”
Galena Hillside Homes
Home Builders & Construction Companies in Galena.
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars30 October 2014
“When we began our search for a contractor to build a modern interpretation of a Frank Lloyd Wright Usonian style house in the Galena Territories we were more than a little concerned about finding someone to undertake this very custom project. Luckily we found Bill Miller and Galena Hillside Homes. Despite the fact that there isn’t a single right angle in the entire house, Bill was not at all hesitant in taking on the project. From the beginning planning discussions through the completion, Bill and his team consistently went the extra mile to be sure that every detail was performed exactly to the architect’s vision and our expectations. Bill and every one of his subcontractors went out of their way to keep us fully informed of progress details and willingly accepted our extensive input throughout the project. From the custom framing and custom colored concrete floors to the individual masonry and cedar paneling and soffits, each job was done with attention to detail and artistry. One of the essential elements to the Usonian design is the custom built in cabinetry, shelving, and seating, and the challenge is finding a craftsman who can accomplish it. Bill’s son Jonathan was more than up to the task and is truly a master craftsman with wood. His results went beyond our considerable expectations. None of our questions were ever too small and Bill and all of his crew were always available by phone, email, and text to answer every question which came up throughout the project and made sure to get it right each step of the way. Bill made what could have been a very difficult endeavor a pleasurable experience. We highly recommend Bill Miller and Galena Hillside Homes for your home construction or remodeling needs.”

“I have never worked with a contractor that communicated better and understood the customer needs the way that Matt and his team do. Although we bought his spec-house, Matt has been available for every little issue or adjustment needed. He brings new design and construction details into each of his projects, and creates a truly unique home for the client.”

What’s the most important step in building a new house from the ground up? Many people would say it’s choosing the right home builder or construction company in Galena, IL.

What do new home builders do?


For builders who also act as developers, the job starts well before the first nail is driven. They perform Galena, IL market research to determine whether the prospective homesites make sense in the Galena, IL market, as well as survey the land on which the house will be built to make sure it is suitable for construction. They also obtain the necessary permits.

A good builder has skills that go far beyond construction — he or she must supervise subcontractors and artisans; keep tabs on Galena, IL zoning regulations, building codes and other legalities; inspect work for problems along the way; and perform dozens of other roles that are essential in building a quality house. Here are some related professionals and vendors to complement the work of home builders & construction companies: Interior Designers & Decorators, Landscape Architects & Landscape Designers, Architects & Building Designers, Kitchen & Bath Designers, Specialty Contractors.

Builders are responsible for ensuring that the home-building project sticks as closely as possible to the specified timetable, particularly in the event of change orders.

  • Who will be working on the project?
  • Are the workers employees or subcontractors?
  • Can you provide me with references?
  • May I see a current jobsite?
  • Can you give me the addresses of some houses you have built?
  • Are you and your employees licensed and insured?
  • What license(s) do you have?
  • What other training and affiliations do you have?
  • How do you charge, and what does that include?
  • Can you give me a written estimate?
  • What do your services include?
  • How will I be charged for parts and materials?
  • When can your job get done?
