“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.”

“KSCI has remodeled our master bathroom, built a new deck, poured concrete for us as well as replaced doors and windows in our house. They've done tens of thousands of dollars worth of work for us and we'd hire them again to do the same in a heartbeat. There have been numerous times I've needed emergency help with an electrical, plubming or flashing situation and they've been there whenever asked.”

“I used CloudBuilders to reroof a 2nd story sunroom with 3 sky lights. They gave me options on material and explained pros and cons per item, as well as costs associated with the decision. I like that they were all friendly courteous and professional. Cleaned up work area every night as it was a multiple day job. Highly recommend”

“We hired Bob and his team from Keystone to renovate our entire first floor after purchase. This included all new hardwood floors, new fireplace, removal of walls/cabinets, and complete renovation of the stairs along with various painting and upgrades to hardware throughout. Their customer service, knowledge, craftsmanship and end result were beyond excellent. They Keystone team listened to each and every aspect of our vision and offered knowledgeable insight on how we could make that a reality. They were truly partners in creating our dream. Bob exhibited a genuine care and honesty of all aspects of the project and we knew he was always reachable if we had questions or wanted to make a change. We will certainly hire Keystone in the future and know that anyone who engaged Bob and team will be happy with the results for years to come.”

“We asked Leman Builders to add another garage to our house. At the time, they were extremely busy but they agreed to do the job Jason and his crew met the time line for completion. Every man on the job site was professional, friendly, and accommodating. They cleaned up at the end of every day. Workmanship was top grade. The final bill was exactly the same as the original bid, even though we asked for a couple of changes. We are asking him to come back this Spring to do some more work for us.”

“These two fellas (I think they're brothers) built my old lady's wheelchair ramp back in 2011. They did one hell of a good job. The rand was a lot nicer than all the wooden ramps that I've seen, heretofore .”

“I can't say enough nice things about working with Jeff and his wife Kelly on making our dream home a reality. We were very reluctant to build from scratch because we had good friends that went with a larger builder in Champaign that just kept passing them off to different crew foremen throughout the whole process. They actually never met the real owner. I appreciated the fact that we only had to deal with Jeff from beginning to end. He made the building process fun and very rewarding and Kelly was a huge help when it came to picking out fixtures, countertops and paint that brings it all together. It is obvious that they both have a great eye for details. Thanks again for listening to our wants and needs and we look forward to working with you on our next home.”

“Hired Aaron Gillison of Applewood Builders for an addition and kitchen/laundry remodel. Excited to get started and will update on progress”

“We were in the process of searching for a new home and one that would need some work. We were introduced to Jamie and his partner to do some initial bids on the home to strengthen our offer price for the home. He was great to work with add really knew what he was doing. We also has him give us a bid on renovating the kitchen. He gave us a few different prices based on the 3 different design ideas we provided him. Although we have not started any work yet he is still one of our top choices for a general contractor. He is trustworthy and very professional.”

“Artisans is the first word that comes to mind when I think of Long Custom Homes. They design and construct while paying attention to detail and watching that dollar. Dave Long and his sons are professional and hard working. We are thankful they are the ones who brought our circa 1850 home back to life. A family bath was added upstairs with heated floors, custom double vanity, window seat storage, marble inlay tile on floor and in shower and hidden door to large walkin closet. An attic was renovated into a spacious master bedroom and 3 skylights were added. The dining room, laundry/pantry and up and downstairs hallways were all completely gutted and refurbished (lots of Plaster and Plath ripped out) A direct vent fireplace as added. Original floors were reused. We had a chimney torn out, brick by brick and HVac installed. Old radiators were removed. The Longs had subcontractors lined up and ready to go with our schedule. I don't remember any delays. This was a very long involved remodel and they kept work going the entire 6 months. Our home is a true show place... inviting and relaxing.”
