“We wanted to write and say thank you for the exceptional job by which Griffin Builders built our home. From start to finish, we were treated with respect and friendliness. Thank you for understanding the daily phone calls and numerous changes to the plan. Everyone who participated in the process was a professional. Thanks again.”

“If you want to build a house that will grow into your home, suit the way you live, fall within your budget, exude quality and have an enjoyable, professional experience during construction you must work with the Griffin Builders family. We discussed our house needs with over 12 firms. Of these, Brett, Jack and Sue Griffin were the only ones who fully realized that we had researched our needs and had a house design that would fit us...not a design that was someone's latest trend or the style someone else wanted to build. The Griffins took the time to explain every detail, answer our questions, provide accurate documentation and offer constructive suggestions. The bottom line: the people of Griffin Builders are the ones you want building the house that will be your home.”

“When we decided to build, many people told us how stressful the process would be. That was not our experience with Griffin Builders. Their exceptional organization and follow through ensured a smooth process from start to finish. They worked with us to design the house we wanted built, not the house that they wanted to build for us. Because of their attention to detail in the planning process, cost overruns were never a concern and our house was finished within the time period we were given.”

“The house built for us by Griffin Builders is the one we like the most of all the houses we have had built over past years. Brett Griffin's ideas and suggestions helped us plan the truly custom home we wanted. The construction process was closely monitored by Brett and the Griffin crews gave us superior workmanship. A great building experience and a great home.”

“What a wonderful experience working with the Griffin Builders Family. The quality of workmanship and timeliness of the construction schedule far exceeded our expectation. Changes requested during the building stages were granted as though they were part of the original plan. Even major modifications were just handled like normal routine. We especially liked the fact that they supervised the construction of our home like they were building it for themselves. At the 1 year follow-up that is in the contract, we did not have anything that we were dissatisfied with. Even though; Jack personally came and inspected the house and found 3 or 4 small things that we had not even noticed, and promptly had them taken care of. "We love our new home and also love to show it off, as it is something "special". Anyone who wants a "hassle free" home building experience should definitely consider Griffin Builders, Inc.”

“We were well-guided through the whole process. Very enjoyable working with the Griffins. Outstanding workmanship and quality at all levels of construction. Responded quickly to our requested changes. Made the whole process almost painless. We love our Griffin Home and would select them as builders again without hesitation.”

“The attention to detail and the quality of the craftmanship is reminiscent of the way homes used to be built. Any builder could have built us a house, we chose Griffin to build us a home. Brett took the time to listen to our ideas and wishes and offered advice along the way. We couldn't be happier with the outcome.”

“On behalf of the Boettcher family, we are writing this letter to let you know how much we appreciate the 'after the sale' support and service you have always provided our family. The house built for us by Griffin Builders...is wonderful for our family and the quality of the build is excellent. Thank you again for the continued support we have received. We will always recommend Griffin Builders to anyone we know that is looking to build a house. Please put us on your list of references should a prospective buyer need an objective opinion. We would be happy to discuss Griffin Builders with them. If we decide to build again, which is often mentioned, we will call you to firm up the plans. We wish you continued success as one of the premier home builders in Central Wisconsin.”

“"Dreams really do come true" and "a full service team" are phrases that come to mind when anyone mentions Griffin Builders and home-building in the same sentence. From the moment we toured the Parade Homes in 1998 we knew that one day we had to own a Griffin home. That day came when we decided to move from Neenah to Appleton. During a design meeting with Griffin Builders, we learned that Amy Griffin is a real estate agent. She listed our Neenah home and it sold within 45 days of placing the home on the market. With good fortune falling our way we wondered what we would do about a place to live while our home was being built. Enter Griffin Builders again. They had a beautiful duplex that we were able to rent while construction took place. Where else and with whom else could you experience this full-service treatment? From the design of your home, to selling an existing residence, to renting you a home while you are waiting for that dream home to be finished, Griffin Builders creates a positive building experience that very few builders can match.”

“We realize this is long overdue but does not reflect how happy we are with our new home. Your attention to detail and timeliness are truly remarkable! Your entire team displayed professionalism and sincere kindness during the entire process. Best of luck on continued success.”

“Griffin Builders built a new home for us in 1990 and then again in 2003. Both times we were very happy with the quality of workmanship, the service and especially the follow-up we received. It remains a pleasure to have Griffin as our builder of choice.”

“We were quite skeptical about building a new home, having heard too many horror stories about the process. Having completed the process, however, we are more convinced that ever that the key difference between a stress-filled experience and a wow building experience is the builder. Griffin Builders provides a unique, customer-focused approach to custom home building that is well-planned, creative and enjoyable. They listened to our needs and wants – the way we live – and worked with us to create a unique space that fits our family. When we build our next home, it will be with Griffin Builders. We had seen several larger Griffin homes and weren't sure they would be interested in building a home less than 4000 square feet. Fortunately, we were wrong! Our home has all the detail, quality and craftsmanship of the grand building tradition in the space that beautifully matches the needs of our family. Our not-so-big house is perfect for us. We wanted to build a home with old world quality and craftsmanship that can stand the test of time. We wanted that solid feel and attention to detail in the woodwork found in the Craftsman Era. The finish carpenters at Griffin Builders exceeded our expectations in quality and service time and time again. Another thing that impressed us was the attention to detail and high level of customer service that was shown by all who worked on our home – from the folks at Griffin Builders to all of the subcontractors we used. From the floors to the ceilings and everything in between, Griffin Builders works with the best!"”

“Brett, Amy, Sue, and Jack: We have been in our new house just over a month and wanted to thank you for everything you put in to making our house a home. Deborah, Grant, and I feel like it fits us perfectly and we could not have done it without your help. After having seen friends argue with their contractors, worry about deadlines, and generally have an awful home building experience, we were a bit skeptical when Brett told us that it would be "fun". Not only was it a painless experience, but looking back on it, we did have fun! I've told everyone I know about how great it has been to work with you. If we choose to build again, there is no doubt that it would be a Griffin home. Thanks again.”

“Griffin Builders built our home in 2001. The workmanship was outstanding and the communications were excellent throughout construction and follow-up. Several times you offered valuable suggestions that were implemented and were truly appreciated. The Griffin family, Jack, Sue and Brett, along with their skilled craftsmen have been a joy to work with. Every one of your workmen exhibited a high degree of expertise and was helpful and courteous as well. Many of the subcontractors mentioned to us that they looked forward to coming to the job because of the quality of material and workmanship that was going into the house. We continue to thoroughly enjoy the house. We would unhesitatingly recommend Griffin Builders to anyone wishing to build a quality home.”

“Total satisfaction! That’s what building with Griffin builders is..from the first day of construction to our closing day. We came to Griffin builders to interview one of many builders. We were so impressed with the professionally casual atmosphere, no pressure presentation, and friendliness of everyone there that we didn’t make it to the other interviews. If we build again we know who to call!”

“We recently built our third home with Griffin Builders. The first home we built in 1990 and the third just last year. The knowledge in custom home building along with a professional yet personal style made each building experience exciting and fun. Together with their help we were able to personalize each new home to fit our changing lifestyle.”

“Thank you so much for such a beautiful home! Can you believe it has been nearly one year since we moved in? We wake up every morning and need to pinch ourselves because we can't believe we are living in our dream home. We are so glad that we chose Griffin Builders for our project. Your quality and professional service is second to none. You built the exact style home we were looking for. The character is carried throughout the home.”

“Thanks for helping us create our new home in the Fox Valley. We are extremely pleased with the setting (remember Brett helped us find this location) and could not be more pleased with our new home. How our diverse ideas came together in a coherent design is quite surprising. It could not have happened without your coaching and insight. Your relationship with your subcontractors and suppliers paid important dividends as they seemed to share your commitment to helping us achieve the house of our dreams. We have been singing your praises ever since we got started. Just as others had told us about their Griffin experience, we have been passing on our account of our experience to others considering a home building project. I know you are presently building a home for one of our referrals. There is no doubt they, too, will be joining the Griffin fan club soon. Never hesitate to use our name as a reference should you feel we could help anyone assess the prospects of a Griffin experience of their own.”

“We were a builder's nightmare .... my husband likes traditional and I like contemporary .... and Griffin Builders was left with trying to find the middle to please both of us. And they did. With Brett's tenacity, Amy's innovative ideas, and a whole lot of patience, we are now living in a beautiful home that both of us love. There were times during the process that Brett and Amy had no idea what we wanted (neither did we!), but they were always helpful and worked "with" us to achieve what each of us was envisioning. It was a partnership and it was a totally enjoyable experience. Brett works directly with the architect, so he was able to "manage" our expectations from the beginning...the floor plan, our needs/wants, and our budget were all considered during the blueprint process. He was great at keeping us aware of what things we could and could not do to stay within our means, and offering workable alternatives. And working with him during the whole construction process was comfortable and easy, with no surprises. He is always around and so easy to work with. Having an in-house designer was the icing on the cake. Amy is fun and a great listener ....she really hears you when you tell her what you want your home to look like, and then she puts in the energy and time to make sure it looks exactly as you envision it. She has great ideas, initiative, and the sources to implement the design ideas that you work on together. I was blown away by the things she came up with, and so is everyone who sees them. We couldn't be happier. Amy and Brett work wonderfully together, feeding off each others ideas and, between the two of them, they out-do the competition consistently. Griffin Builders is a great company and we recommend them highly.”
