Home Builders in Decatur, IL

“Darcy built our dream home in 2000. It is a magnificent piece of work, with many ingenuous ideas and custom additions that add to it's total uniqueness and beauty. The home is close to 4,000 sq ft. It is 2 stories, and has 4 bedrooms with custom closets, 4 and 1/2 baths, an upper level toy room, and a gift wrapping/storage room. The main level has a gorgeous custom kitchen with fireplace, a huge mudroom with utility sink and plenty of storage, a 2 story great room with fireplace and balcony, a beautiful office with French doors, and lovely dining room. The master bedroom is on the main level. The master bedroom and the kitchen have twin bump out bays with French doors that lead onto the patio. The full finished basement is complete with a full bath and has a huge fireplace, and a custom built "dog room", with a raised tub for easy canine bathing, and a walk out door to easily accommodate the comings and goings of pets. There are so many storage closets that even I, a huge pack rat, had empty shelves! The house also is heated and cooled with geo-thermal, with Darcy co-ordinating the installation of the system with the HVAC company. Darcy doesn't build many homes from scratch due to his refusal to lower his standards, and thus his price, as a home is being built. However, this did not deter us, and we were soo fortunate that he decided to take our project on. Yes, it was not a cheap build, however, it still stands today (unfortunately for me, with a new owner) as the standout home in Douglas County, Illinois. The basement was dug on March 2, 2000, and we were moving in on Oct 2nd of 2000. Not only did Darcy and his crew and sub-contractors do superior work, they were very timely with the build. Now that I have written about the home that Darcy built for us, I miss it even more than ever. It was a once in a time experience, and the 5 years we lived in the home were the happiest years of my life! So, thank you, Darcy for the experience and the happy memories.”

“They live up to the long time, good reputation they maintain in our community. They listen and do a good job of meeting needs and budget.”

“Excellent communication between customer/contractor, effective management of subcontractors, clearly written contract with pricing, drawings, and material list. High quality work.”

“Great job - fantastic ideas and thorough work. Great work ethic. The best part of the process was when Ben found a "problem", he called me and told me about the problem and presented me with a few solutions / ways to work around it! Very happy, finally!”

“Jeremy was the consumate professional throughout our entire basement remodel. He was never late, did fantastic work (a true testament to his craft and workmanship ), and went to bat for us when we were unhappy with a subcontractor.”

“We used Cardinal Construction to do our Home Remodeling, they were on Schedule, Professional and had Great Communication with us until our home was completed. We would recommend them to family and friends.”

“Our experience with Joel Morehouse and his crew couldn't have been better. They are extremely conscientious, very competent, and the attention to detail is remarkable. Joel is a wonderful communicator and responds promptly. We appreciate his ability to envision what we want, when we don't know how to describe it. He and his crew couldn't have been more courteous, respectful and considerate while we were living in the midst of the renovation/construction. Joel's ability to envision a new home created from an old farm house without it looking like a hodge podge is remarkable. We couldn't be happier with the results and HIGHLY recommend Morehouse Construction for any project - big or small.”

“I have worked with Harner Interiors on several projects from complete bathroom and kitchen remodels to garage repair. The most recent has been some porch repairs and external work. They have always provided excellent work and been reasonable with the time of completion. Their work is very professional and It shows they take pride in their work.”

“RP Construction was hired when we bought our home. They did a complete remodel including all windows throughout the house. Hard wood floors and a brand new kitchen. We were having a baby in July and my wife wanted to bring the baby back to our new house. They completed this projected within 2 months so we can bring the baby home, and it came out beautifully. 2 years later they did a huge brick pavers patio as well as the landscaping and basement. This company has been our contractors and always will be. Thanks RP.”

“Marc and his team are very thorough, honest and timely. He is also easy to work with and uses reliable subcontractors.”
