I do not…read moreknow Naomi or her build details but it sounds like there is another side to the story not reflected in her negative review. Our experience with Hill Construction, Jeremy Hill and his staff has been and was exceptional from start to finish and we highly recommend them when you are looking for a high quality and exceptional builder in the Hayward, Wisconsin area. We started our cabin/home teardown and rebuild the summer of 2020 and finished early summer 2021. We worked with Hill Construction's designer Scott Krueger (who is excellent) as we wanted a modern look with a cabin feel to our lake home. We provided Scott with two photos of a lake home look we liked with a multiple curved roof design. We were limited to our existing foot print as we were building close to the waters edge. Scott did an excellent job in putting into building plans the exact concept we were looking for in our new lake home. Scott, Jeremy, Eric Anderson (our project manager), Carrie Bender (Business Manager) and their entire staff contributed countless suggestions to make our lake cabin special and unique and one of a kind on our lake for us. From start to finish the communication and workmanship by all of the Hill Construction team was exceptional. This included Jeremy Hill, the front office team (Scott, Carrie and Sue) the cement crew (Roy, Mark and their guys), the framing crew (Rob and his guys), the finishing crew (Don, Tony1, Tony2 and crew) and our project Manager, Eric Anderson who did an exceptional job! Hill Construction also has an excellent group of sub contractors that they use for the electrical, mechanical, plumbing and flooring and we are very satisfied with their workmanship and suggestions throughout the build process. Jeremy Hill and his team strive to build high quality homes with exceptional craftsmanship for their clients and we were the recipients of their fine work in our new lake cabin/home!

In 2019 we hired Jeremy Hill's company, Hill Construction to demo our old cabin and build a new…read moreone. Our experience with Hill Construction was a very poor one with many, many issues that involved me needing to ultimately manage the project even though we had paid them to do the project management. Jeremy Hill encourages his workers to cut corners (per workers who were on our project) and we had many issues throughout our project as a result of the poor project management we received at Hill Construction. Here is a list of issues and concerns that occurred over the course of building our cabin with Hill Construction: The most concerning thing that happened during our build is on our very first weekend in our brand new cabin, we had a flood in the basement due to Hill Construction not properly installing our egress window. This led to all of the flooring and part of the walls being completely ripped out and needing to be re-done. To this day there is still damage to some walls which Jeremy Hill refuses to fix. When his workers came out to fix the egress window and dig it out properly, he said that Jeremy had been told it needed to be done differently and he told them it was fine as was. When Corey (our first project manager) left Hill Construction, Eric jumped into our project with no background and missing tons of info. I had to go back through every decision I made 1-2 times due to this and it was very time consuming and frustrating. Even in spite of doing this, many errors were made over the course of our project. Corey had shared he gave 2 weeks notice but Jeremy Hill cut him immediately instead of allowing the proper transfer of knowledge to occur. Eric, our project manager, and Jeremy Hill the company owner promised to cover the flooring once it was installed. I came up a week after flooring had been installed and they were not covered and had hundreds of pounds of trim and doors sitting directly on the floors. When I confronted the onsite foreman, Don, for the project, he told me Eric was supposed to have the covered there and took no responsibility for what happened. The floors were damaged by them not being properly covered. The trim was originally mis-installed and had to be re-installed correctly when I came up one day to see it had not been installed per my communicated install preference. I had to facilitate the entire flooring installation because Eric was unable to communicate with them. He called them multiple times swearing and upset it was told to me and lied 3 times that I have documented both to me and to NW Interiors who installed our flooring. Greg, me and Don pointed out a gas smell a month prior to Jeremy coming out for the gas smell and Eric shook it off saying it was a vent. We used 15% of a tank of propane in 1 week due to this, so we would like to be compensated for that since his lack of follow up led to that issue and expense. These requests were completely ignored. For the nose trim-- When Eric and I met with the flooring people and they said it was normally done with the trim. Eric agreed and said Hill Construction would do it. He proceeded to install a very soft cedar wood. When the first damage happened to the cedar stair nose, Eric said "that is what we always use and it will be fine". Eric gave us Hill Construction's word that he would give us a 5 year warranty but then Jeremy Hill told us he had no authority to give us a 5 year warranty. After a lot of dispute, they did replace the stair nose but in the process damaged the wall and to this day refuses to fix the wall per our requests. On the railing, I never picked cedar and to me it seems it should have been done to match the trim, in pine. Jeremy Hill promised us when selling us on building with him that we would get design assistance but we never received any design or selection assistance at all while making selections for our building process. The sink was not installed when counter people came. Then the sink didn't fit and we had to pay extra for the counter people to come back out, plus we had to pay extra to return and exchange the sink we had. We wanted our ceiling to be knockdown but instead we got flat. Most recently Jeremy Hill sent someone out to repair nail pops who was not a professional painter. The worker made the walls look horrible and Jeremy refuses to send someone to properly fix nail pops leaving us with damaged and walls looking worse than before his worker came here. During that visit, the worker also damaged a door and had to take it back to fix which took Hill Construction 2 months to return to our home. We still have some HVAC concerns Jeremy never addressed, nail pops needing repair per the contract and we are requesting some compensation for project management due to the time consumed with managing a project we had paid to be fixed. In my last communication with Jeremy Hill he said everything not resolved is in "normal condition" saying "This concludes our business relationship."

We had employed Russ Smith Construction in the winter of 2019 to remodel a cabin. The contract…read morerequired a deposit to be deducted from the final cost of the project, which per the contract, was to begin by Summer of 2019. When Fall arrived and the project had NOT begun we cancelled our contract with this builder only to hear from him that the deposit would NOT be refunded as he felt he had put significant effort into gathering quotes for the projects. We hired a lawyer to review the contract and were told he had no legal right to the deposit but the court costs of a suit would be more than the deposit. A complaint was filed with the better business bureau and then with the Wisconsin department of Consumer Affairs. DO NOT ENTER INTO ANY CONTRACTS with this company without having a lawyer review it first!
