FULL EXTERIOR RENOVATION FENCE LAKE
Had the pleasure to work with this couple on their "cottage" on beautiful Fence Lake in Lac Du Flambeau, WI. We added a new entry, replaced all the drafty windows, replaced all siding and decking, and renovated the master bathroom. Had many remodeling surprises along the way such as rotten floor and wall on lake side which we took the time to fix correctly without cutting corners. This house is now sealed up and virtually maintenance free along with saving a lot of $ on their energy bills with the quality windows, siding, and insulation that was installed by our experienced team.

NEW HOME CONSTRUCTION MISC...
We build quality homes the right way the first time. We follow all local building codes to ensure your home withstands the brutal Northern Wisconsin winters and is comfortable during our gorgeous summer and fall months.
In a multi-phase remodel of our lakefront home, my wife and I hired Crystal's firm to replace a large 1000 sq ft elevated attached deck in 2018. The work progressed over the summer on schedule and within budget. A year later we decided to do a major remodel of our lakefront home and pleased with her prior work and again hired Crystal's firm.
Having spent nearly four decades administering major construction projects I am very impressed with the professionalism, craftsmanship and dedication of Crystal and her crew. Work on our remodeling project progressed without any major interruptions. Project scheduling, communication, material supply & delivery, craftsmanship and work all met the highest standards of performance and expectations.
I have no reservations recommending Crystal for your next construction project.
David Wheeler
Three Lakes, Wisconsin
I would highly recommend Robert at Stonehenge Finishings for any building project you are considering. Robert and his crew are very knowledgeable and professional. We hired Robert to build our new home starting in spring of 2017. They handled all aspects and stages of the construction with unparalleled quality and expertise and all in a timely manner. From framing, siding, trim, soffit fascia, aluminum fabrication of flashings, building of decks and railings, installation of hardwood floors, cabinetry and countertop installation to final trim and everything in between. I would not change a thing in the house and would hire Robert in a heartbeat for anything we do in the future.

Maralee and I wanted to tell you again how happy we are with our (new) cottage and the tremendous service we recieved throughout the entire project!!
Jeff and Maralee

If you want trust, open communication, and peace of mind during a building project then we recommend that you consider Northwoods Building and Remodeling Minocqua. Crystal has been professional, honest, and loyal in her commitment and service to us throughout each step of the process. Her commitment to open communication created trust and gave us peace of mind.
