Lakefront Home in Williams Bay

For more than two years, I worked closely with Engerman during the construction of my mother-in-law’s lakefront home in Williams Bay. John, Linda and the entire team were a joy to work with. The quality of the build was outstanding and John was always fair and reasonable. Since we’ve gotten to know John, he has been an outstanding resource, always quick with a recommendation and keen to lend a hand if we need a favor. John and his wife Madeline are marvelous people and we look forward to working with Engerman on other projects for many years to come. -B Allis

Consummate Professional Custom Home Builders

The Engerman Contracting team are the consummate professional custom home builders. From the architectural plans, throughout the building process, at the closing and including the extensive follow up afterwards. We were really happy and appreciative of the creative suggestions, especially the one-of-a-kind woodwork suggested by John. Linda was also exceptional in keeping the whole process moving along smoothly. Without any hesitation, we highly recommend Engerman Contracting.

Custom house on a newly purchased lot

Engerman Contracting built our custom house on a newly purchased lot. It was the first time either my husband or I have had a new house built. It was actually a very good experience despite all the horror stories we heard about the process of building a house. John Engerman, his assistant Linda and right hand man Derek were there for us every step of the process. They basically walked us through everything from beginning to end. Although we were residing in the Chicago area throughout the process, they kept in constant contact with us, responded promptly to any questions we had, and kept us completely in the loop regarding everything that was being done. Linda was always very helpful and informative on really a daily basis. The quality of the work was absolutely top notch, and the company’s experience in building high quality and luxurious homes in the Lake Geneva area was always readily apparent. Due to this experience, Engerman Contracting had all the connections with the local trades and every aspect of the building process was of the highest quality. We would absolutely highly recommend Engerman Contracting to any friends or acquaintances who were looking to build a house of top quality with very professional and friendly service from the builder and his team. -B Gicla

Lake home in Lake Geneva

We had John Engerman build our family lake home in Lake Geneva. We loved working with John and his team. John is a visionary and is very passionate about building beautiful homes. Linda was so patient, organized and knowledgeable. She walked us through every detail and kept us from getting overwhelmed. They were very responsive to our personal requests and input, and they always had great ideas and input. Knowing that we didn’t want to lose two summers with the family at the lake, John told us that he would have the house built in a year. He tore down the old house the day after Labor Day and our home was finished the following Labor Day, even though we added quite a bit of additional work midstream. We have nothing but good things to say about Engerman. It was obvious that they really wanted to please us all along the way. We have recommended John to many friends and if we were ever to build again we would use Engerman in a heartbeat. – Tony & Mary Beth

Extremely Professional

Everyone at Engerman were extremely professional and were very helpful as this was the first house we ever built. They took our existing plans and added many creative ideas which ultimately resulted in beautiful additions. We highly recommend Engerman to anyone looking to build a custom home or renovate a house. -Dan Marotta
