J.A.V. Sun Prairie, WI Review May 10, 2012 5 star rating
Degnan Design Builders

Initially I intended to build the deck myself. I am so glad that I chose Degnan Design Builders. Anthony, the carpenter, addressed details that I never would have noticed. My deck is beautiful and I am glad I left the work to a true craftsman.

Comment Recognize Excellence Sun Prairie, WI May 10, 2012

Anthony, the carpenter, is a true craftsman. It was amazing to watch him work. His knowledge and skill quickly put aside any ideas I had about doing this project myself.

Comment Remodeling Concerns Sun Prairie, WI May 08, 2012

I had concerns about the project itself because it was due to shortfalls from a previous builder. It was an unknown. They addressed my concerns by being very direct and explaining everything that needed to be done.

Comment Area Of Satisfaction Sun Prairie, WI May 08, 2012

I was most satisfied in that they took time to explain what they were doing and why the did what they did. They were efficient in making sure the important decisions were made.

Comment Additional Comment DeForest, WI Apr 27, 2012

In my entire life, they have been the best contractor that I have ever dealt with and I have a lot of rental property.

Degnan Design Builders

They are all business, they are honest and you can expect that what they tell you will happen will happen. I enjoyed dealing with them and I liked the way they communicated with me.

Comment Remodeling Concerns Verona, WI Mar 16, 2012

This was the first time we had a project like this done, and they did a good job of communicating.

Comment Area Of Satisfaction Verona, WI Mar 16, 2012

I was most satisfied with the timeliness, cleanliness, and with how informative the process was.

Comment Additional Comment DeForest, WI Mar 13, 2012

I was very proud to be able to use a local businessman in the re-building of our home after the fire. It makes me proud to live in DeForest.

Degnan Design Builders

The compassion and care of Degnan Design shows in all the work they do. Abe and Anthony met more than all of our expectations. A year later, they made sure to follow up to see if there were any concerns and of course there were none. I rate them 5 stars.

Comment Area Of Satisfaction Madison, WI Mar 08, 2012

We had to work through a difficult situation regarding permission to proceed with the original project as envisioned. When this did not work out, an alternative plan and contract was presented in a timely way.

Comment Area Of Satisfaction DeForest, WI Feb 24, 2012

Anthony Carracci the lead carpenter was responsive and professional and willing to solve any problems. He took great care and pride in his craftmanship. We had complete confidence in him. Abe Degnan was very knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with. He offered alternatives, modifications and great recommendations to make things work within our budget.

K.A.A. Madison, WI Review Jan 23, 2012 5 star rating
Degnan Design Builders

We found them very creative and practical. They were easy to work with. They listened very well to any concerns we had and gave us accurate updates. In our kitchen, which was long and narrow, there wasn't a lot of extra space to work with. The design turned out to be very practical and very beautiful.

Thank you! We thoroughly enjoyed this project. We love working for exceptional clients, people with good attitudes, and clients who search out our expertise.

Comment Remodeling Concerns Madison, WI Jan 23, 2012

We were concerned about costs. Their estimates were pretty accurate. When we decided to change our minds on a few things like appliances and the kind of bathtub we were going to put in, they were really good at recalculating those differences and keeping us within our budget.

Comment Area Of Satisfaction Madison, WI Jan 23, 2012

The electrical work, the kitchen remodeling, and the bathroom remodeling were the most satisfying parts of my experience. We had knob and tube wiring so they had to tear out all this old dangerous wiring.

Comment Area For Improvement Madison, WI Jan 23, 2012

They didn't fall short. They actually exceeded. We had a good recommendation on them before we hired them. They are probably the best in the business, as far as I can tell.

Comment Easier Than Expected Madison, WI Jan 23, 2012

It was more involved than I thought. They were really good all the way around.

About GuildQuality and our Guildmembers

Homebuilders, remodelers, real estate developers and home services companies pay GuildQuality for customer surveying and performance reporting. We refer to these companies as GuildQuality Members, Guildmembers, or members.

Our service helps Guildmembers monitor customer satisfaction and -- if they choose to publish survey feedback on our public website at guildquality.com -- articulate the quality of their service for prospective customers.

All of the Guildmember information we publish at guildquality.com has been provided to us either by the member (such as pictures of work and biographical information) or by their customers via one of our surveys (customer comments, performance summaries, and reviews).

Surveys, Comments and Reviews

All of the customer feedback that we publish is derived from the customers we survey. Our Guildmembers provide us with their customers' contact information, we conduct the surveys, they receive the feedback, and -- if they have chosen to make their feedback public -- the member's performance report is automatically updated to reflect the response. Members may choose to publish a summary of either all of their feedback or their most recent twelve months of feedback.

In addition to average performance ratings and survey statistics, GuildQuality also publishes two types of customer commentary: Comments and Reviews.

A comment has been provided by a survey respondent in response to any one of the survey questions we ask, and a member may or may not choose to publish it. Often customers provide unsolicited testimonials or compliments, and members can choose to share these comments in their published performance report.

Many Guildmembers choose to participate in our formal review process. These members have added an additional question on their survey: "If you'd like to provide a public review of your experience working with the Guildmember, please share it here." In contrast to comments, which a member selects to have published, we publish all reviews, provided they are at least 30 words long. With each review, we include a one to five star rating provided by the survey respondent.

Important Information about choosing a Builder, Remodeler, or Contractor

It is important to note that GuildQuality does not endorse the qualifications of any company. We make no predictions, warranties or guarantees, expressed or implied, about the quality of any work a company on this website may provide. GuildQuality does not accept any liability whatsoever for any harm that might result from any statements presented on this website.

Prospective customers should weigh a multitude of factors when choosing the right building company, and never depend on a single source when making their decision to purchase a home or hire a contractor.
