What our clients are saying
“It amazed me they could do this in two weeks. They said it was two weeks and it was two weeks.”
Tim & Cathy Staudt
"Custom Built replaced our two small wooden decks on our old home with two decks built with Trex. Custom Built is competitive, price-wise, with the better construction companies we took bids from. They have the crew and the equipment to breeze through the jobs. We worked with Brian, who coordinated the plans, and Kirk, who led the actual building. We were amazed at the machine that drilled the deep footing holes--fast and efficient, which is a reason we wanted to hire a company like Custom Built instead of an individual carpenter. We appreciated their excellent building crew, too, who were responsive to our concerns as the building commenced--in February. Workers returned to take care of any after-construction concerns--you can't beat that! Overall, we are very happy with the decks' designs and builds and with the company's personnel. Terrific job, guys!"
Delores Rauscher
"It's the "family-first" approach to Custom Built that makes them great. The Custom Built team's professionalism, creativity, and expertise sure made it easy on my wife and I and our kids to get through our remodel project. Truly, a great business deep rooted in family values. Looking forward to seeing and hearing about more great things from Custom Built in the future."
Joe Ellis
"Best remodeling experience ever! Very concerned with getting it right. They were as unobtrusive as possible and picked up every day before leaving. They did a walk through at completion to make sure every detail was right and we were satisfied. They even sent out a cleaning crew! Who else does that? Great company to deal with. Would definitely use them again."

"Excellent company to work with. Detail oriented and process driven. From Josh, to Brian, to Aiden. I can't say enough great things about this company. We had our deck remodeled and absolutely fell in love with it. They made sure all of our needs were met. Furthermore, they fixed all the nuances that popped up after the install and made sure it was right."
