Dream Kitchen ALERT!! We both love to cook and entertain, but the 90's kitchen was just not…read moreworking for us anymore. We wanted a large island with plenty of working space, and no matter how big your house is everyone ends up in the kitchen! We began our search for a contractor, we received 3 bids and hands down Matt at the Caliber Group was the best! Why? He was honest, he was creative with ideas and brings a designer in to help bring ideas to life. He was not the least expensive but not the highest bid. What absolutely sold me was the island. Due to the size we wanted, he was the only one who said we need to reinforce the floors. I know that sounds crazy, but his attention to detail was very clear to me. We signed his contract and started our dream project. Matt communicated everyday on what was going to happen, or as he calls it "our homework" (what we needed to move or cover). He had the most professional sub contractors I have ever met or worked with, and when you have strangers coming into your home that is very important. Our Dream Kitchen turned out even better than we could possible have imagined. All the details were perfect! The cool floating shelves, the garage doors to hide all the appliances, and THE ISLAND! I would highly recommend Matt and the Caliber Group! Our next project will be our bathroom and I won't even bother looking anywhere else! I have attached a few pictures to see the before and after!

I am very pleased with their work, everything is beautiful. Very well done, everything is pitched…read moreproperly, they had very good suggestions about where to place the sidewalk against the house and how to mitigate drainage. They had a great variety of color and stamp options to choose from, some contractors only give you 2-3 options and you have to pay extra if you want anything different than their 2-3 options. They also came in a few grand cheaper than almost every other bid I received. I experienced very quick responses from them both prior to the project and during. With the economy booming I have heard reports from multiple neighbors of contractors who have ghosted them or else given them inaccurate dates and have been 2+ months late. ConCreative was 1-2 weeks later than originally quoted, but I think that is the nature with all of these projects when you consider rain and what not. Overall not bad at all, especially when consider that when I emailed and asked for an update I received a response that day about the status, I have heard of many contractors taking weeks to respond to clients. Not only that, but once they get started you can expect everything done very quickly. They had the majority of my demo, 18x18 patio and 100' of sidewalk done in 2 days. When most people saw the amount of work they did and how quickly it was done, they thought it was 4-6 guys doing the work. When I told them it was only 2-3 guys that completed all of the work they were very impressed.

About two weeks later they phoned and we have a new apron where the asphalt sunk. They did a great job and we wanted to have it a little larger so it is 7" from the garage to match the bottom edge of the sidewalk, and we had our third stall higher but they matched that area and it has great slope with no water issues. This looks fantastic and we are very happy. We received their name from two neighbors who were also very happy and used them two years ago. Great brother team who were very responsive, professional and did a great job!! Scott Lakeville, mn

Within days, he evaluated the project and had a reasonable quote sent our way. The work took a little longer than we thought because of a structural issue found during demo, but Jeff found time among his other jobs to finish ours and we couldn't be happier with the final result. We will absolutely use Hammer and Grain for projects in the future!

The owner, Matt, is so responsive and helpful! They put a new roof on our house. Two years after…read morethey put the roof on, I had a question about something, so I emailed Matt and he was at my house within 30 mins (on a Saturday!) to discuss and adjust something (for free). Hard to find good and responsive contractors these days, especially ones that take pride in their work, but these guys are fantastic.

We contacted Matt K of Pudas Construction in the summer of 2022 for an estimate to replace our…read moreroof. It was a challenging time to get a roof work done. All of the roofing companies were quite busy due to recent storm damage. Some didn't return calls, and we even had a couple no-show on scheduled estimates. Matt K, in contrast, was extremely responsive and reliable. We left a message on a weekend, and he called back that same weekend, and scheduled a time for an estimate within a few days. He came for the estimate at the appointed time, and promptly emailed us a detailed, thorough, and competitive bid. He then answered all of our questions thoroughly and knowledgeably about the proposed work and process. Matt was easy to talk with, explained about roofing in terms that we could readily understand, did not up-sell, and provided honest evaluations and recommendations from his decades of roofing experience. Shortly after that, while we were still evaluating our options, we had a leak concern. In response, Matt was able to juggle schedules to fit our replacement in quickly. His crew (led by Brendan), was efficient and careful, and were able to complete the tear-off and replacement in a day, even though winds reached up to 20 mph some of the time. They also left our property neat and tidy. Someone who saw them work told me that he would without reservation "heavily suggest using them again!!!" (His three exclamation marks, not mine). As a bonus, Matt also has a good eye for color. We went with his color recommendation, and really finds that it looks nice against the colors we have. Responsive, reliable, efficient, honest, and great prices. Highly recommend!

The new Trex Transcend composite in Spiced Rum with Westbury railing looks absolutely beautiful and completely elevated the front of my home. Project manager Brad Bowers was exceptional to work with--knowledgeable, patient, always quick to respond, and incredibly accommodating in coordinating the project around my schedule. He made the entire process smooth and stress-free. The entire crew was outstanding and deserves recognition: Jason - Lead Carpenter Luke - Carpenter Garret - Carpenter Josh - Carpenter They were consistently on time, reliable, very friendly, and left the job site spotless at the end of each day. Their craftsmanship is seamless, clean, and truly high quality. I mention Iron River to everyone and recommend them every chance I get. I'm already hoping to work with them again in the future for some indoor remodel projects!
