What our customers our saying
After purchasing our house in Marquette, I wanted to find a construction company I could trust so I started to research reviews and ratings for companies. Wilbur Construction consistently had good reviews and favorable business ratings. My realtor was also aware of Wilbur Construction and recommended them plus I liked examples of their work featured on their website. Amy and Wilbur made the design process easy. Both of them take the time to listen to what you want, assess what's feasible and come up with a reasonable plan. It was reassuring to go through the process of having them ask all kinds of design questions I had never considered but should have! Amy also asked me to create a Pinterest board with examples of things I like and to share that with her so I felt very confident that they would do everything they could to work within my style and preferences. Construction was very organized with a timeline of what was happening and expected deadlines. Throughout the entire process they provided pictures of their progress and a bullet list of daily accomplishments on an app. This was extremely useful to us because we were out of town for a large part of our bathroom remodels. Our furnace even went out in January and Wilbur coordinated everything concerning the repair even though this had nothing to do with the project. Wilbur, Amy, and Nick were all very responsive to any questions we had and always got back to us in a timely manner. Everyone was a dream to work with and I wouldn't hesitate to call them again for future work. I couldn't be happier with both of our bathroom remodels and a few other home repairs that they have done. I feel like when I first made the phone call to Wilbur Construction that I hit the jackpot with contractors.

I learned about Wilbur Construction by their visibility in our neighborhood, and the professional look of their work from passing by. I cannot state enough the excellent experience we had working with Wilbur, Amy, Nick and crew on our remodeling project. When we decided to include the attic floor in the project, they were able to accommodate the additional work. Our century old building created several challenges which were aptly managed. The end result is a gorgeous space which is beautifully decorated and furnished, and importantly: It is very warm and inviting. From start to finish we felt well cared for. I would recommend Wilbur to anyone wanting quality work and excellent service, especially when updating an older building and wanting to keep the style appropriate to the period it was built.

It has been a year since our kitchen and bathroom were renovated by Wilbur Construction. Of course, I remember the experience as if it was yesterday. It is a big deal having a team of contractors tear up and take over your home. That said, the operation went smooth from beginning to end. We were always kept informed on the timeline, glitches in the timeline, and what to expect from the subcontractors. Any questions/concerns were given immediate attention. We enjoyed meeting and seeing the professional work of each trade specialist, and at the end of each day the site was thoroughly cleaned.
Once we made the top of their waiting list and our project started, both Wilbur and Amy listened to our wants and needs and designed the kitchen we had envisioned and added to it with ideas we never had considered. The kitchen was beautifully designed to be functional and spacious for us. They searched for quality products and artisans to outfit the design. If items were backed up, they came up with new solutions. When the light fixtures ordered did not meet code, they immediately handled the situation.
If we had more home projects we would get on their waiting list in a heartbeat! Gratefully, I believe we are done with big house projects!!!
A big thank you to Wilbur and Amy and all their crew.

We had a good experience with Wilbur Construction right from the beginning. Of the quotes we received on our project, his was the most clear and detailed. Wilbur was very good about working with us to bring the project cost in line with our budget while maintaining materials and design elements that were most important to us. And then the crew pretty much moved into our home and lives for the next few months. The team was skilled, hardworking, and just nice to have around, even while our home was in transition. Throughout the project Wilbur managed subcontractors effectively and worked with us at times when there were decisions to be made. When the project was complete, we were left with a beautiful and comfortable finished product. We love it! And as much as we love our finished home, we really do miss seeing the crew...

When we finally decided to move on a remodeling project that we had dreamed about for years, we sought estimates from contractors. Wilbur Jennings, owner of Wilbur Construction LLC, was by far the most thoughtful, enthusiastic, and reasonable. We chose Wilbur and we're delighted that we did. With a remodel, you are inviting strangers into your house. Wilbur's workers proved to be a pleasure. They were courteous and respected our concerns. They arrived timely and cleaned up after themselves beautifully. They got along well together and we could tell that they enjoyed their work and approached it with great professionalism. The foreman for this job, was especially adept at asking for our input when unanticipated decisions needed to be made. He also showed creative resourcefulness when incorporating used materials in the new design. And his design and construction of a pantry set in the side of the new staircase was a miracle of craftsmanship, as his sculptural wood wall was a miracle of artistry. The foreman took great pride in all that he does, and the results showed in every way. Wilbur himself was a pleasure to work with. He listened to our concerns and responded effectively. When unanticipated changes needed to be made, he drew up change orders that were both clear and fair. When an untimely storm blew off a tarp and pelted rain into the house, he dealt with the problem efficiently and, again, fairly. He followed through on every promise. And we enjoyed getting to know him personally. We recommend Wilbur Construction LLC in the highest possible terms.

My wife and I had been talking about updating our mid-1990’s main floor bathroom for a few years. When we were told of work Wilbur Construction was doing for a friend of ours, we became more interested in actually doing something ourselves. Wilbur and his wife, Amy, came to the house and spent a good amount of time with us to determine our likes and dislikes. They paid attention to the character of the rest of the house, did all the necessary measurements and seemed to really understand what we were looking for. The resulting proposal was the proof point of that judgement pretty much hitting the nail on the head. From that beginning, the expectations of the final result were high and the proof was in their work. Excellence is the word to describe their work ethic, skill set, attention to detail, communication, timeline and personnel. The bathroom became a virtual spa. Wilbur and Amy have become friends and we have spoken of them with many of our acquaintances. We would recommend them highly. In fact, my wife came to breakfast just a few mornings ago and said she blesses Wilbur every day for that shower.

Through a recommendation, we contracted Wilbur Construction to complete the repair and remodel of a master bathroom. The scope of work included repairing and replacing a failed shower and the removal of a bathtub to enlarge the usable space. Once the project began and the structure was opened, the repair portion became more involved than anticipated. Not unusual and completely understandable. The options were presented and the work progressed.
In addition to Wilbur Jennings being on site frequently, the project manager he assigned was punctual, courteous, considerate, and his workmanship was impeccable. At the end of each workday the site was neat and clean. It was a pleasure to have him in our home.
We are completely satisfied with the business relationship, the end result, and are happy to recommend Wilbur Construction to anyone.

Wilbur Construction did our last two remodeling projects (bathroom & kitchen) and they will do the next one, whatever it might be. Their attention to detail in the planning process is as impressive as their cleanliness and dust suppression practices during construction. They had the imagination and experience to provide the insight and input to give us what we wanted, even at times when we didn't know exactly what that was. Outstanding, honest, value-added execution.
