Customer Feedback:
Walter Jordan Building Contractor, Inc.
“They did a big remodel on our dining room, hallway, and bathrooms, and we were very pleased with everything! We had walls completely redone and skylights installed. I really could not be any happier with the way the house looks! Walter has a lot of integrity and really did a great job.”

Customer Feedback:
Brilliant Buildings
“My chimney sunk and took parts of the floor with it! They avoided having to remove the chimney by bringing out a pressure grouter and leveling the house. They took a lot of time to meet my needs, were very professional, and there was not one nail left behind.”

Customer Feedback:
Ross M. Stangeland DDS
“I’d had some bad experiences with dentists when I was younger. Dr. Stangeland was very considerate. I never felt tense or uncomfortable with him. I’ve never had a health care provider who’s taken such good careof me or my family. He and his staff take a personal interest in everybody who comes in. They are truly exceptional.”
