Work began right after Thanksgiving with an estimated completion of February... of course Covid-19 played a role in some delays, i.e. inspections schedules, material availability, etc. causing the project to be a bit longer than we anticipated. Throughout we were kept up to date with the process. The end result is amazing, high quality workmanship, incorporating our "interactive" change requests along the way, providing a space that really meets all our expectations. The VDB team does what they say they will do and takes a genuine interest in their clients. By the way, did I mention there was no surprise to the budget... I highly recommend VDB.

Please Do NOT hire VDB contracting. Our kitchen remodel and chimney removal took over 10 months…read more From July 29th, 2025 through April 10, 2026. And the project still was not completed. Our house is 800sq feet. We were displaced the entire time. ( thank God for friend and family) Yes we ran into some issues which was part of the delay. But there were weeks where No one was at the house working. You could never get a straight answer from Mike. He was very angry and unprochable when questioned regarding timeline or problems with quality. Our roof was open ( big hole) that was covered with a blue tarp( that my 65 year old husband had to reattach every time we had a big storm) all 10 months. Every time asked when that would be closed. He would give a day and time, then not show. The kitchen had a space for a dishwasher but it was never installed. A garbage disposal installed with no way to turn it on. The list goes on. We finally had to hire a lawyer to cancel our contract with VDB so we could get another contractor to clean up the mess. So please DO NOT hire VDB. I don't want our nightmare to become anyone else's.

My wife and I went through the build process with UBuildIt in 2018-2019. Our house was completed…read moreNovember of 2019. To say that I was pleased with UBuildIt doesn't even begin to describe the process. Everyone at UBuildIt is a true professional and is incredibly helpful and transparent. We had the pleasure of working directly with Jamie as our planning consultant and Frank as our general contractor. They were always there to answer our questions and were available to us at all times throughout the build process. They help from day one with lot identification and evaluation all the way to your final inspection. Unfortunately, they won't help you move all of your personal items into your wonderful new house! However, they are there to support you in any way that they can. Joe, UBuildIt owner, even helped me 'break' into our house when the key from our lock box got mistakenly left in a completely locked house. I don't know many other company owners that will do that for you (on a Sunday morning nonetheless). One of the big differences between UBuildIt and other 'traditional' builders is that they offer their services on a flat fee basis. Thus, they truly have your best interests as a homeowner at heart. They make the same amount of money whether you buy a $10,000 toilet or a $10 one. That's not true of other builders. Their process is very well-refined. They are experts in the construction business and will provide tons of value throughout the design and build process. Most new home owners have unrealistic budget expectations. UBuildIt provides their guidance and advice to keep you on budget and let you know when your expectations aren't necessarily realistic. The network of preferred subcontractors UBuildIt has established who will actually build your house are just as fantastic as they are. If you are interested in building a house, I highly suggest that you contact UBuildIt for a consult. You will not be disappointed. I have absolutely 0 regrets for choosing UBuildIt for our project.

First of all, let me say that we did not actually build a house with U Build It, so I cannot attest…read moreto their level of service after contracts have been signed/ground has been broken, etc. (which is the ONLY reason why I am giving them 2 stars instead of 1). We were so turned off at the initial meeting that we opted to continue searching for builders, and apparently, the representative we met with opted not to work with us, either. In short, we met with her for one hour and she took four...FOUR...personal phone calls within that time frame. We didn't say anything about it at the time, but no customer should have to tell a prospective builder how unprofessional that is. I can see maybe one phone call if it is urgent, but nothing about her personal calls seemed catastrophic enough to interrupt a meeting for. Strike one. We had received a PDF pamphlet of information with testimonials from previous customers. One customer had built a house which looked almost exactly like what we were looking for, within the price range we are staying in. Great, right? Wrong. During our meeting, the person we met with said that pamphlet is not only for their Oklahoma branch, and "prices are a lot cheaper in Oklahoma so we can't build for that cheap", but the pamphlet is also 8 years old? Why did you send it to us, then?! Strike two. Strike three happened when we told the rep the price range we wanted to stay in, between house building and land. The look on her face and the "well, there's no way we can build within that price range" statement that followed was enough. We have met with several builders over the last year, and our price range has been perfectly compatible for everyone else. Nonetheless, we cordially finished the meeting and we asked her to send us information on their simplest model house, thinking that maybe, just MAYBE, we would keep this company on the table. She said she would email the info to us the next day. She never did. We never heard from her again after our initial meeting. We felt this lady was nothing short of rude and insulting. Will not even consider U Build It after our meeting with her.

The project was completed several months later than promised. Boards are crooked and paint was chipped off the metal toppers. He is refusing to "spend $1000s more" on decking to correct the issue because I won't remove my one star review on Google. Communication throughout the process was like pulling teeth unless a payment was due. The only time he responded promptly was the day I wrote said review, and he only texted me to tell me I was rude. No apologies, no effort to correct the problems with craftsmanship. There's a reason this guy has a list of people suing him-- the circuit court search results say more than I ever could-- he's a con artist, and is pretty darn rude himself!

I ended up overpaying since I had my partner there the day of and our deposit didn't roll over but we got a discount for it being our first home? If I could go back I would have gone with the competitor but the floor looks ok now. We ended up going with a water-based oil which made the floors look nice. A small main floor was a 2-day project even though the morning of I was told it would be a 1 day project. The people of SNR were nice but the professionalism made the process unideal start to finish.

Home Depot's deal was that since we ordered the cabinetry from them, we got a deal by using them to install it. After a couple of problems with Home Depot, they accepted our request to "fire" them and Crestone took an even bigger part of the job. They've done a lot of work in the Shorewood area and I've only heard positive things about them. We've since used them for a bathroom remodel, installing new windows, and redoing the master bedroom closet. They use quality people and work at a fairly good pace for a contractor.

This time the guy showed up 5took the information and said he would drop the estimate off to the Boss. after getting no response from them I called again This time she claimed the worker took the paperwork home with him as he had some sort of emergency. She said he would bring it in when he got back in town. I told her just to email it to me and that is the last I heard from them!!!! That is the rudest treatment I have ever received from a company advertising no job is too big or small. I don't know how you stay in business with that lack of competency.
