The big guys gave us a song and dance about why they couldn't get to us till Monday at the earliest, and with a litany of the rigmarole they would have to do. Not Wayne--he called us back within two hours (on Friday night) and said, "I'll be there at 9 tomorrow." And he was. He also had a MUCH simpler way of getting us back up and running, at minimal expense. Bravo for him. We later hired him to excavate and wrap the lines with insulation (which the original installer should have done). He did it quickly, efficiently, and left things looking great. When he realized the line wasn't where he expected it to be, no complaints, he just shifted direction and got it done. We'd recommend him in a heartbeat.

BEWARE: We were defrauded $60,000 using Nathan Albrecht / Jack of All Trades…read more We are writing this review to inform others of the experience we had with Nathan Albrecht / Jack of All Trades. We paid him/his company almost $60,000 (April 2023 - November 2023). He was to build a deck for us at our summer home in Lake Tomahawk, WI. We contracted with him in April and by November it was not even close to being completed. When we finally had enough of the lack of work and communication, we requested a refund, which he refused to provide. Instead, the money was used for other purposes unrelated to our project. We filed a complaint with DATCP and with the Oneida County Sheriff's Office for theft by contractor. Both complaints are open and active. If you have been wronged by Nathan Albrecht / Jack of all Trades, we would encourage you to reach out to those agencies. Don't trust him, don't pay cash, make sure you have a contract that complies with the requirements of Wisconsin law including appropriate lien waivers, project completion dates, paying suppliers directly versus having Nathan Albrecht / Jack of All Trades pay the supplier. We paid Nathan directly for the materials only to have him purchase those materials and later cancel the order/materials without our knowledge or consent. He then kept the money instead of returning it to us. We have verifiable proof of this from the supplier (Boone). Also, he charged us 50% more than cost, fyi. Nathan is not a good person. The Oneida County Sheriff's Department is aware of who he is, and he has a criminal/civil record. We really wish we had known all of this before hiring him. https://wcca.wicourts.gov/case.html We hope this information helps others. We will continue to put this information out there to protect others. Mark & Kelly Feuerer tcfwkw@hotmail.com

Remodeling project…read more When we decided it was time to finish the lower level of our relatively new home, one of my wife's fellow Rotarians suggested we contact Brigham at Reed Building, LLC. Despite the fact that contractors in our region are very busy, Reed was able and willing to add our project to their docket. Because we were not in a rush to finish our project we would have been happy just for the fact that Reed could fit us in among their other projects. But they delivered the first wave of materials and a crew began the first phase of the project several weeks before we expected. A week or so later everything was framed up and the electrical service was roughed in. Not long after that the plastering, painting and finishing carpentry was completed. There is still more to finish -- once our vendors deliver the cabinets, tile, etc.. But based on our experience thus far the project will be finished ahead of schedule and on budget. Over the years we have built a couple of houses and I've overseen a commercial contractor complete a million dollar renovation of my place of business. Based on my previous experiences I have to rate Reed as top notch. If you have a building or remodeling project in the Minocqua area, I wholeheartedly suggest getting a bid from Reed Building, LLC.

My screened in porch on my 100 yr old log cabin turned out way beyond my expectations. I am really lucky to have hired Reed Building - I would hire them again in a heartbeat.
