Reviews

4.5jeff keplingjeff kepling ★★★★★ Myself and BVB glass supply Jarrod Brant and his team at CU Under Construction with all there glass and mirror needs. Jarrod and his team are all professional and all of there construction is top notch.Kipling KnoxKipling Knox ★★★★★ C-U has done two remodels for us in the past year--a bathroom and the kitchen. We're very happy with the results. They were a pleasure to work with from project conception to finish. We particularly appreciated Jarrod in project management, Chad in sales/supervision, and Ryan in electric--but every trade professional on our projects was skilled, capable, and friendly.Paul MwebesaPaul Mwebesa ★★★★★ We bought a fantastic property in the Urbana area built by C-U Under Construction. The property is brand new and perfect for us. The inspection process was smooth, and there were no issues with the house. We got a great price on the property, feeling like we got a real bargain, and the builder provided us with seller credits towards the closing cost. We have moved in, and the house is so comfortable. Overall, it has been a great experience working with this company. I highly recommend C-U Under Construction to other potential buyers!Ken EganKen Egan ★★★★★ C-U Construction did a fantastic job on replacing my roof. They went the extra mile and dealt with an issue I had with my chimney which was outside of the scope of their responsibility. I would definitely hire them again.Aliya YabekovaAliya Yabekova ★★★★★ We worked with Jarin and his team to install car charger in our garage. Jarin came up with a creative and cheaper solution, since the power that was available in the garage wasn't enough to power the car. The whole process went smooth, the team went above and beyond. Definitely would recommend the C-U Under Construction and Jarin's team!LD KaiserLD Kaiser ★★★★★ Where do we begin? We are extremely happy with the jobs done by the crew at CU Under Construction.Our new roof was made possible by KC Victor who would not give up after our insurance company turned us down 4 times for hail damage which occurred in September 2022.Mike Randolph worked hard behind the scene, always taking our phone calls and staying on top of our insurance claim insuring that we got every dollar we were owed for the property damage.Our exterior make-over project came to fruition at the suggestion and input of KC Victor. We cannot say enough good things about KC.We want to give a shout out to Jason, Greg, and Gaven for their contribution to the project.We observed well-learned craftsmanship and leadership skills by Robbie and, in our opinion, he’s a great boss.We are grateful for Jacob, Fatamia and JT’s craftsmanship skills and daily commitment to completing our project in a timely manner.Our daily (sometime hourly) questions and concerns were always taken to heart and were answered, and completely fulfilled with no exceptions.And last, but certainly not least…Thank You, Tyler Crowl, for always answering our calls and questions with patience and concern as well as overseeing your amazing, hard-working crew.Our exterior make-over project looks amazing.LaDonna and Mark KaiserMahomet, IllinoisOlen BrennemanOlen Brenneman ★★★★★ If you need a new home, a new addition, a new bathroom, or kitchen look no further!Rachael StevensonRachael Stevenson ★★★★★ My home was struck by a tornado last year. I chose CU Under Construction to put it back together simply based off of the online reviews. They have absolutely met and exceeded my expectations. They have been so kind, timely, and professional. They helped navigate the nightmare that is a massive insurance claim. I made many changes/ upgrades to my home along the way. They were more than willing to accommodate my ever-changing ideas and bring them to reality. We are now back in our home and only final touches remain. They have continued to be great about seeing this project through to the end. I hope no one ever needs the extensive remodel that we did, but if you do, you should absolutely use CU Under Construction. You will not be disappointed!Chris MorganChris Morgan ★★★★★ Bill and Nathan are heroes in my book! I called C-U when I was hearing kittens but could not find them. C-U sent out Bill and Nathan out, they found them and got them out, including one who had gotten stuck and was in serious trouble. C-U and their crew saves kittens. 100/10 will call them again!Sean MahannahSean Mahannah ★★★★★ We've been using CU Under Construction for years. They give outstanding customer service and do outstanding work. I trust them with all of our household repairs and they're the first place we call with problems or projects.Epharata PalmerEpharata Palmer ★★★★★ I am very pleased with the siding work done on the house. Great customer serviceJohn WisegarverJohn Wisegarver ★★★★★ I am so pleased with our Kitchen remodel.We saved and dreamed of a design for 6 years.Working with Addison Boyd & Jarrod Brandt was such a joy!Through their knowledge of design & construction our vision was completed to our custom specifications.We worked through many challenges together and their professionalism truly made some hard times worth the finished product!We look forward to some exterior projects to be completed and I can't think of any other company to work with than CU!Thanks guys!John Wisegarver & Kent WeathersMichael CunninghamMichael Cunningham ★★★★★ Jeremy installed a Hot Water Heater at our residence yesterday.Jeremy was super friendly and professional.Did a great job! Thanks.Ronald GreenRonald Green ★★★★★ Tyler Crowl was my project manager and he was super. I had some health issues that created some unique requirements. Tyler was able and willing to accommodate all of my special needs. He even went above and beyond for me on some of those needs. He seemed masterful at coordinating the different work crews to be at my place at the right times, so as not to be in conflict with each other. There were a couple of days at the end of my project that required more than one work crew to be working at the same time. When that happened, the work crews were very accommodating to each other. There was no " how can you help me" , but rather, " how can I help you " to get the job done. A big shout out goes to Nate, Randy, Ryan, Korbyn Fatammia, Jacob, Owen, Brandon, Mark, just to name a few. Chad Detamore was my initial contact with CU Under Construction. He came to my place to see what I wanted done and to then work up an estimate. He worked with me from start to finish to see that the project stayed on budget. Kudos to Chad for all of his work, that resulted in my project actually coming in under budget. That's right, UNDER budget. Courtney and Christina were very helpful in keeping the communications, with regards to any changes I wanted done, and the resulting cost difference, open. For all the above reasons, I would, without any hesitation, recommend CU UnderConstructionfor any project a homeowner wants done.Shannon DeLaMarShannon DeLaMar ★★★★★ I have called CU Under Construction in the past for roofing,siding and gutter replacement work relating to hail damage. We were so satisfied, we called them for some remodeling--replacement of french doors which ended up being a bit more work than we thought because we needed to replace framing and one support beam and they did a great job diagnosing and addressing the issues. I trust their diagnoses, workmanship and expertise. Everyone we have dealt with was helpful, skilled and did a great job. Most recently, we had a dishwasher motor leak cause water to leak into our cabinet boxes. Upon removing the damaged cabinet boxes, they found damaged drywall, kept us and our insurance adjuster informed and did a great job. They were on time, professional, friendly and skilled. They listened to specific concerns I had and then replaced the damaged drywall, cabinets while taking precautions so as not to cause any health issues for our family members. Through no fault of theirs, a countertop arrived damaged and so they made sure we could use our kitchen until an undamaged countertop arrived. We highly recommend Cu Under Construction!js_loader
