Associated Housewrights - Madison, Wisconsin

When people learn that we completely demoed and rebuilt our home, their immediate reaction is to ask about how stressful the process was. Working with Associated Housewrights, there was zero stress involved. It was not an overwhelming process, and we thoroughly enjoyed every step along the way. Housewrights has top notch architects, designers, project managers, carpenters; you are in incredibly capable hands during every phase of the project from design to build. One of their greatest strengths is their communication skills; we were always clued into the project's progress, including upcoming work, adjustments in the timeline, and overall budget health. Would we use Housewrights again? Absolutely, 100 percent, without a doubt. We are in love with our new home and could not have imagined a smoother process or more beautiful outcome.

Associated Housewrights is currently engaged in the third project for us, and that fact in and of itself tells a story of positive engagement, thoughtful design, incredible follow-through and really lovely results. We have nothing but accolades for the AH team for each of the projects - first, a kitchen remodel; second, a third floor renovation, and now, the construction of a screened-in porch. And we have gratitude, for the care AH takes in forming trusting relationships with their clientele, and the exquisite care they take in their craft, producing such high quality and beautiful results.

My hat is off to Meri Tepper, Steve Oleson and Matt Speer of Associated Housewrights. We first began an exploratory conversation several years ago with Matt (founder) about an over-garage addition. I have been watching AH projects around Madison for 20 years and had always been Impressed with process and results (and let's be real, they have the best friggin yard sings 🙂 Anyway, that plan never materialized because Covid made us realize we needed a lot more space and we began a 2 years long search for a new home. We almost purchased one, but a consultation from Steve (Project Lead) on some of the results of our inspections steered us away due to 100K+ of deferred maintenance. Invaluable honesty and opinion that helped us make the right decision.

Eventually though we did find our "dream home" which is an historic property in Madison that had been badly neglected and was in need of renovation and re-imagining. So far we have only been working with Meri (architect) and Steve on the plans and design and let me tell you, these folks are such a breath of fresh air in an industry that could always take you for a ride, especially in the last few years. They are kind, fun, smart, skilled and driven. Most importantly to me, they respect that I bring a lot of experience to the table from my own work on historic preservation arts over the years and are willing to work with me and my wife as peers. This is so extremely rare in this industry and It is blessing to have a builder like this.

Communication is great, punctuality is on-point and they are so flexible and open to ideas. Their rates are reasonable for the peerless capability that they bring to the table. We can't wait to start swinging hammers! Will update once we get into that experience....
