Patrick Custom Home Construction Testimonials | New Home Building Experience

"We are extremely pleased with our home built by Dean Patrick Builders, and we would highly recommend him to anyone.

Since we moved to Northern Wisconsin from Texas, we could not be present during much of our building process and had to trust Dean to oversee our home building in our absence.

We were very impressed as Dean kept us very well informed as the building progressed, and our home was completed on schedule and exactly as we had planned. The quality of the home and the work of all the Subcontractors was excellent.

Dean was very helpful in our planning process, allowing us to have a large amount of input while also coming up with many excellent suggestions of his own to make our home special.

This is our dream home here in the beautiful north woods and we will be forever grateful to Dean for making it possible."

"From the moment we met Dean in his Minong office – inquiring about the possibility of building on our land – we immediately felt in very, very good hands. It was obvious that his knowledge of all aspects of the building process was extensive. Every question we threw at him he not only answered, but took the time to explain thoroughly. I never felt rushed – he always had the time for us.

As we began to work with the actual "creating" of the cabin, Dean was able to take our ideas, and work them into the overall design. He freely offered his own suggestions and opinions and always answered my frequent question, "OK, what would you do if this was your cabin?"

The building stage went surprisingly fast! Dean had all the subcontractors lined up weeks in advance and ready to go. There was rarely a down day when something wasn't being worked on. Dean was often on-site – checking on the progress, buying the guys lunch and giving them a hard time (in a funny way). We had a chance to work with some of the sub-contractors: the tree clearing folks (amazing to watch), Jimmy – our electric guy, the carpet/floor folks in Rice Lake and the wood-burning stove store in Hayward to name a few. ALL were so helpful, down-to-earth, really good folks! Knew their stuff, too! Again, thanks to Dean, we were in very good hands.

Accessible, dependable, honest and knowledgeable…these are the qualities I would use to describe Dean Patrick. Accessible and dependable…promptly returned every email and phone call, came through on everything he promised and more, answered every question we had and some that never occurred to us. Honest…with his advice and guidance, kept us on budget and on task. Let's just say – I'd trust him with just about anything. Knowledgeable? I invite you to come look at our cabin. He is a perfectionist in his craft – in the best sense of the word.

We consider Dean Patrick to be – not only the world's best contractor, but a life-long friend. His friendship, our trust in him, his positive and reassuring attitude and his wicked little sense of humor – will be forever treasured. Dean made this whole process FUN. I owe him more than just a few "promised" beers – and we (our family) owe him a huge THANK YOU for all he has done in helping us build this little slice of paradise."

"We wanted to take this opportunity to thank you so much for building the house of our dreams!

From day one, you listened to us and helped guide us through the building process. You were flexible and made great suggestions when we had questions, and we had a lot of questions. You were extremely professional, honest and met our timeline for completion.

Building a second home so far from our first was a scary endeavor and added a whole new element to an already significant project and investment. We obviously couldn't be there every step of the way. People warned us: How will you know that your builder isn't making mistakes? We wouldn't have contracted with you without feeling confident in your abilities. You certainly did not let us down!

Our home is more than we ever dreamed it could be and we thank you so very much. We look forward to years and years of creating wonderful memories with our family and friends in our beautiful new home. Thank you for helping make this possible!"

Michael & Dori

"We want to thank you for all your effort and care in the construction of our new lake home. We love it!

We have built several houses, and working with your team has been by far the best home building experience we have had. You showed true dedication to completing our home exactly as we wanted. We had high expectations and you saw that each of our requests was taken care of exactly as we wanted.

From the planning process to the final trim work you and your team have been exceptionally flexible to work with. I am convinced of the cost and quality benefits of the panelized framing process that you use. With our house under roof within a week, the framing and subfloors were not exposed to weeks of weather. Also, your partners at Blenker made the design and selection process very easy – they are very helpful and focused on the customer's needs as well.

You provided us with what we feel are the most important attributes in a contractor that we could ask for – trust and reliability. It may seem basic, but when you make a commitment it gets done right and on-time. This separated a positive building experience from a stressful one for us. We also appreciate your adherence to the budget we established as well as all your suggestions both from a quality and cost savings perspective.

Thanks again to you and your team – we truly appreciate all your hard work. We are pleased to recommend you to others considering building a home. We are very happy in our new home and look forward to many years of happy memories on the lake!"

Jeff & Linda

"I just wanted to let you know how much we appreciate the work you did in building our new home last summer. Throughout the process, you provided us with the information we needed, answered our questions promptly and made some excellent suggestions. You always returned our phone calls in a timely manner and, in my estimation, went out of your way to assure that everything was done to our total satisfaction. We couldn't have asked for better support.

We were extremely impressed with all your subcontractors. I spent a lot of time talking to all of them. They've all been with you for many years which told me two things. First of all, you must be treating them fairly for them to want to continue to work for you and secondly, they obviously were doing a good job for you or you would have replaced them. I've never seen a group of subs that were so quality oriented. Their concern wasn't how fast they could get the job done but how well they could do it. They asked questions about how we wanted certain things done, made suggestions and made us feel that they had the quality of their efforts first and foremost in their mind.

Dean, we plan on staying here a long, long time. However, if we ever build again, we would contact you. You didn't construct us a house, you built us our home."

Duane

"You addressed all issues with our construction in a logical manner and in timely fashion, to keep the project rolling. I really do not place my trust in people very often and am suspicious by nature, but your friendly personality and professional attitude are very refreshing in this busy world we live in. People just don't take the time to interact with each other in business, but you take the time to do so. I am a pretty good judge of people, and my first impression of you was very positive, and quite honestly, I trusted you from day 1."

Jim

"Thanks for the wonderful job you did on the construction of our new home. Your attention to detail and personal concern went beyond our expectations. The sub contractors also need to be commended for their hard work, extra hours, and politeness. They were all great to work with throughout the process. As we said before, we will not hesitate to recommend you to anyone thinking of building."
