Actually they deserve many more stars! We couldn’t have asked for a better kitchen remodel experience. First was the design by Olivia. She listened closely because the options she presented fulfilled everything I asked for. She guided us on decisions at every stage and kept us informed on the schedule. Every worker they sent to our house has been top notch. We were told the estimate is such that change orders wouldn’t happen at every turn and they were right! I did have a couple but it’s because I asked for something more. We couldn’t be happier with the process, the people, the attention to detail, the honesty, and most of all the beautiful outcome. The value of Elegant Builders far exceeded our expectations. If we need anything else done we would not hesitate to call.

Elegant Builders recently completed a basement remodel with an additional room as an office. My wife and I absolutely love their work and could not be happier with the result. The office is something I always wanted, and the bar/TV room screams "let's have fun here"! From the initial concept through construction, then completion, they were great to work with. Nick, Brian, Olivia, and Denise offered welcome suggestions and were always responsive. Kevin and the construction crews were respectful of our time and their follow through was perfect. We were not simply looking for the lowest bid. We wanted a company that could make our basement dream come true and Elegant Builders did just that!!

Elegant Builders was so great to work with. We talked to many builders before we chose Elegant. Most builders are very vague or just didn't seem to care. Nick and Olivia were amazing. They were so patient, and we never heard "can't be done". During the remodel Nick came here a lot to check everything and always asked if we were satisfied so far. The project manager, Kevin was here every day checking on construction. Olivia was so helpful assisting us with picking out the flooring bathroom cabinet and coordinating all the colors. She was so efficient. We'd text her a question and within minutes we had an answer. Their employees were all friendly, answered our questions, and worked quickly and efficiently. The project was done on time, with our complete satisfaction and most importantly within the quote we originally received. If you want your project done on time, within your quote, NO ARGUMENTS, with quality construction, and the nicest people. Pick Elegant Builders. Thank you, Nick, Olivia, Kevin and your entire crew for making this a great experience.

From start to finish, the team exceeded our expectations—especially in their communication, detailed planning, and flexibility. Olivia, Nick, Kevin, and the rest of the crew made the whole process incredibly smooth and stress-free.
We absolutely love how everything turned out! It’s clear that a great deal of care and craftsmanship went into every detail. We're so grateful for the team's hard work and dedication, and we wholeheartedly recommend Elegant to anyone looking for a top-notch remodeling team.

Olivia was able to create a design that transformed an outdated 9x9 bathroom to an elegant solution which Incorporated all of the features we hoped for perfectly. She listened carefully to what we wanted and guided us through the creative process, offering a variety of ideas for us to choose from. Kevin, the project manager, was very responsive to questions and changes and came by daily to ensure that everything was going as planned. They were both great communicators. Every contractor who came out was courteous and knowledgeable and provided professional craftsmanship. We are thrilled with our new bathroom and would recommend them without hesitation.

We recently used Elegant Builders for project at our home in Greendale, WI. Our original garage foundation was cracked and sinking on one side. We needed the garage rebuilt including its foundation with footings, and replacement of driveway ad part of the patio. In summary, Elegant Builder satisfied our expectations, fulfilled all aspects of the contract, had excellent onsite and offsite staff including subcontractors and project manager. They were the lowest bid for expense and absolutely met expectations. The project was finished in record time and there was hardly a day the project manager or some work crew wasn’t onsite to work.
This was more difficult and expensive than we expected since it was an attached garage. Elegant Builders worked hard with us to brainstorm ways to keep the rebuild within a budget we could afford since it amounted to half the cost of what we spent on the whole property ten years ago – sticker shock! Elegant gave us the lowest initial bid which was $50,000 below the highest bid we received. After that they were also able to discuss finishes and options, we could use to get the look we want at a lower price without sacrificing anything.
We had a full foundation poured with footings below frost level, the whole garage erected and roofed to tie into our existing roof without having to replace all of the roof ($ savings). They replaced our driveway and tied into our existing sidewalk. They also re-poured the patio sections taken our for the demolition phase. They were great at reusing our newish garage door, allowed us to purchase the doors we wanted and deducted from our costs so we could get exactly what we wanted at whatever price we wanted to spend (I found a great clearance deal so also $ savings). I had been worried that with a limited budget and being such a small project for a contractor that we would only have a this-or-that choice.
As some issues arose – window frame needing replacement due to ant damage, and the driveway cracking from the construction trucks, I was contacted immediately, and solutions were discussed. The crew members – demo, building, siding, roofing, concrete, electrical – were all friendly and respectful of the property. They were always there on time whether it was 7am for demo or 2pm for siding. Their siding contractor even adjusted his schedule so as to not disturb a party our neighbors were having.
The only hurdles we faced with this contractor was in a few areas of planning and communication. This aside, when we did hit hurdles, EB (Nick, Brian, and Frank specifically) were excellent at rectifying anything even when it meant calling in additional help, more contractors, or re-negotiating the project. We were never put out on those occasions. The work happened so quickly; we never had an overall project timeline to follow. All of the materials and crews were available one after the other so there was no lag in the process and no waiting on orders. This made daily updates from our manager necessary – he was available by text all day long, and a few changes made on the fly got missed in communication. They never closed out the project until we were completed satisfied with the work. I would happily work with Elegant Builders again.
