Jason Kratochwill (his actual name rather than Jason Thomas- his first and middle name) is a better…read moresalesman than a contractor/builder. I built with him in 2015. His exact response to me when I pointed out visibly warped framing lumber used in the construction that I requested be replaced was, "that warped framing lumber meets industry standards and he was not going to replace it" even though the subcontractor was willing to do so. Very poor management of the construction and schedule. Subcontractors and even the building inspector complained of his lack of communication with them. Unlike any builder I've built with, he absolutely refused to give a firm anticipated completion date. This ended up costing me thousands in additional cost in the move of items to storage, and then a second move from storage to the finally completed home, as well as weeks of hotel expense waiting for the home to be finished. I would not recommend him to anyone seeking a contractor.

His employee was very professional and did a fantastic job! I would highly recommend Madtown Painting & Contracting.

I highly recommend and will absolutely hire them again for my next project.

Tony Trapp is the best, period. That means he doesn't cut corners, and doesn't work with people who…read moredo. And, the best people cost more than the average people. But, you get more than you pay for, too. Much more. I demand to get something for every dollar. I am frugal, and I more of a DIYer than most. I had several contractors come out to look at a number of jobs, and I interviewed a number of skilled workers across several trades for my house remodel. In the end, I didn't hire any of them. If you've done some research, you already know why -- good people are hard to find. Really hard. And that was how it was, until I talked to Tony about what I wanted. When he met with me and my wife, with him were the best electrician I have ever met, and the best plumber I have ever met. And they all worked with us to sketch out what they could do. And when the carpenters came, they were the best carpenters I have ever met -- every one of them was a better carpenter than anyone I have ever worked with. And it kept on like that through every sort of job -- the workers who came out to take out the old insulation and put in the new were the very best, the team who did all the demo, put up the drywall, and so forth, all the very best. And everything came along on schedule, orchestrated as promised. And, when there were bumps in the road, whether due to a misunderstanding or a job that didn't turn out as I or my wife had envisioned, Tony took care of it. And the price never changed except when I took over part of the job, or asked Tony for more work to be done. He was flexible to a fault, working with me without friction on my every change, and there were quite a few. These are some of the many other benefits we got when we put our faith, and our money, in Tony. We got the best there is, and we got everything we wanted the way we wanted it. Maybe it sounds self-indulgent, but then, this is where we live, and we have particular ideas about what we do and don't want. On every front, Tony met those expectations, and frequently exceeded them, such as by providing better work than we thought possible, spotting problems that were then fixed instead of becoming another problem down the road, and many other such matters that are hard to describe in a short review, but each of which is important. And I know, from experience, that other contractors, even good ones, would not have provided the things Tony did. He's simply on another level. Tony Trapp earned my trust, respect, and admiration. He has the best people, but Tony is the very best of the best. I have never seen anyone so meticulous, diligent, professional, patient, or wise about his work. If I had to do it all over again, I would count myself the luckiest person alive if I could have Tony again.

The value was well, for the amount of work they did to carry every brick to the back of our building and to do it in a good amount of time and detail. I'd have them back anytime.

I don't know the full scope of what handy people can do and I kept asking "Can you do that?" and he kept saying "Yes." He replaced garage windows, repaired rotten wood, framing, door installation, etc. He also painted my garage. I have a cat tree that my dad made. It had become unstable. That cat tree has tremendous sentimental value to me and he made it stable and solid again. I'm not sure every handyman is willing to that kind of small job and Nathan said "Yes." He made my cats happy. Nathan installed living room shades. I've never had shades be so straight. I like the quality of his work so much I'm having him come over to do more work and install cabinets for me in 4-6 weeks. While he is busy and does book out I found his wait times very reasonable. One day my front door unexpectedly stopped working. Would not budge. I could not get into or out of my home. My neighbor had to help me break in through a window to get in through the side door. The next day Nathan came over and fixed it. Very impressive.
