I would like to express my true appreciation as a proud and satisfied client of Hagen Homes! After…read moremonths of working with a builder that could not provide a truly "customized" home, I was in search for a custom home builder. I reached out to Hagen Homes on a referral from a previous client of theirs. From the initial sales contact with Josh, to the personalized house plans with the architect Amanda, and the selections process with Jackie, the team has met all of my high expectations! During every stage of the building process, I have felt included in all decisions making the "what could be stressful" home building experience pleasurable and exciting! The owner Josh Hagen prepared me for every step of the building process so that I was aware of expectations and prepared for next steps and decisions I needed to make. The architect and designer Amanda Morrow paid attention to all the details I was looking for and her plan was nearly perfect from the beginning. Because of her attention to detail, we only needed small tweaks from her original design. The selections professional Jackie Becker spent hours with me in person and through email and phone calls supporting me in all of my selections. She communicated with me regularly which made the process personable. She has impressive detail to attention and communicates well. Everyone at Hagen Homes has gone above and beyond in creating my dream home! If you are looking for a truly "customized" home from beginning to end, I cannot recommend Hagen Homes enough! Thanks Josh, Jackie and Amanda for being a part of this experience! Your work is truly showcased in my home.

We started the project for building a new house after meeting right after 4th July 2021. Everything…read morewas going well for few weeks. Then we were introduced to the Designer/Architect (AM; from Lake Country Design Studio LLC)for home design. We got the first model after a month. And then everything went downhill. Given that Miss. AM had family issues but everything kept dragging on. We got the first design completed in Sept/Oct' 2021. After requesting for few changes, the timeline kept increasing. In short we got some design in Dec'21 which was not even close to what we wanted as final. We got the bill for the design process right away too. Given that we were promised that it will be rolled into the building cost of the house, we were informed that, it has to be paid right away. I don't think it takes past 5 months to come up with some design of a house, with preliminary costing. The design cost for 3300 sq-ft home was past $8000. Requesting to increase a home by 1 foot on each side took another month; just to see the change on a print. In short, our experience with Hagen homes was horrible. I think we saw the warning posted sooner in the project, than later. Please beware of the timeline and costing. Most of the other builders we talked to would make a plan anywhere from $1500~$3500. Also, they would stick to the promised timeline not just keep procrastinating it. If there is an issue, let the customer know, and he can find another architect or vendor rather than keep delaying the project. Repeated request to accelerate the project, with Josh, did not go anywhere. Any questions for us from Hagen homes was answered within 2 days or less. If there main business is to keep the customer hanging with unknown and increasing timeline, they do very well with it. I would think harder to start a project with them or give other builder a chance than start anything with them. Its not worth it.

We found Brian and Carpentry Connection through HomeAdvisor for our deck re-build project. When he…read moregot our information through Home Advisor, he called promptly and came to our house that night to estimate the new deck costs. We were tearing down a very small/old deck and wanted to replace it with one that went the length of our home. We had 3 other contractors come for an estimate and gave us some obnoxious pricing for a plain rectangular deck with no bells or whistles. When Brian came over, he listened to what we wanted and then asked if he could design something different. He drew up a rough design on a napkin and it blew our minds. In addition, Brian offered to build us a pergola, a privacy wall and a bar table included in our price. No other contractor offered anything different than a plain square design. Once the project started, his crew worked fast and the quality of design was way more than we expected. All the corners were rounded and he framed out the exterior portion of the deck for a nicer look. What impressed us the most is that Brian offered us upgrades that would have a better look and without seeing it, he was able to imagine things that we couldn't even think of. We took the extra upgrades even though it cost more and Brian was right, every upgrade we did made the deck look so great. Brian worked with us throughout the process and when we requested something, he made it happen. He figured out how to make it work. We could not be happier with his customer service, his craftmanship and the overall experience. We have had friends and family over and everyone was speechless when it came to his design and quality. We were very satisfied and he will be our first call for any future projects!

When I called Floro about my scratched tub, he hung up on me. A few months after the tile installation, we knew something was wrong when we saw water leaks on the ceiling of the room below the recently tiled bathroom. The plumber we hired said the height of the tile prevented the toilet from being installed correctly: the stack needed to be extended. Essentially, the water was leaking into the subfloor. When I called Floro about the toilet being installed incorrectly and that I had to hire a plumber to fix the problem, he said "what can I say" and hung up again on me. I suggest you think twice before working with this group.

We are forever grateful with Pete's professional and honest advice throughout the project. It is also worth mentioning that even our bank was impressed with Pete's responsiveness to their calls and queries. They said, "it's always a good sign when you can talk directly to the owner and not given the runaround". Our experience was a little unique since part of our build timeline was in the beginning of the pandemic, when everything shutdown except for the essential workers. Despite the challenges, Scholl construction was able to complete the project as scheduled without compromising the safety of the tradespeople. As a healthcare worker, I admired Pete's dedication to ensure everyone's health and safety. Besides Scholl construction's trustworthiness and reliability, their workmanship is topnotch! I wish I can share more pictures It has been a little over a year since we moved in, yet we still continue to fall in love with this little abode each day. More power to Scholl Construction!!!!
