During the summer of 2007, Winni Construction lifted our old house and barn as a unit. Once the buildings were up, they dug out the old dirt floor basement and crawlspace and, once a new foundation had been poured, they lowered everything back into place - 2 feet higher and UNBELIEVABLY drier! During all this time, we were able to live in the house due to their ingenuity - the experience of a lifetime!

In 2002, we bought a 1970's classic ranch house with small rooms and an odd floor plan. The structure had not been properly maintained by the owner. Mark Phelps and his crew came to our rescue as winter approached, replacing a window wall that was totally rotted out. As they began work, it became obvious that the job was bigger than planned, with floor joists requiring replacement/sistering, etc. Still, Mark got the job done in record time and we did not have to endure plywood walls in the midst of winter. Based on that, we hired Winni Construction to help us to design a new open floor plan that would work with the existing structure, gutting the kitchen back to the studs and installing an updated kitchen, removing walls and rebuilding the great room, even creating a guest shower where once there was a linen closet. They understood and respected our budget and our timeframe. The detail carpentry was magnificent, including transforming a basic plywood shelving unit into a nicely finished dining area cabinet that matched a picture torn from a magazine. Their exterior work was equally satisfying, including a replacement roof, vinyl siding, garage door, Trex deck and stairs to the lake, and rebuilding one chimney.
Now, they are quick to assist if we need even the smallest job done, such as fixing siding damaged during a brutal winter storm or referring us to a tradesperson for a specific need like plumbing.
We highly recommend Winni Construction for their skill, their on-time performance, their creativity, and their patience with their clients.

We worked with Mark and Deb Phelps and Winni Construction in 2007 to build our dream lake home. Despite warnings from many people about all the challenges that come with building a home, our experience was amazing. Mark and his team were our partners every step of the way. From the day the first trees were cleared to the day nine months later when we were handed the keys (on time), we were kept informed every step of the way about budget, timelines, and what was needed from us (selecting cabinets, flooring, appliances, colors, etc.). We met with Mark just about every Saturday to review what was done that week, and what would be done the following week. On more than one occasion, Mark had great suggestions for us that weren't in the original plans (and sometimes made more work for his crew even though they never charged us extra).
As far as the construction goes, we have friends in the trades who have told us they've never seen a home built any better. From the foundation, the studs and beams to the amazing care that went into the finish carpentry, no detail was overlooked.
We love our home, and know we can call Mark at anytime with a question or concern. We also know how much pride Mark, Deb, Earl, Billy, Eric, John and everyone who worked on our home took in making sure everything was done right.
If you are thinking about working with Mark and his Winni Construction team, we can assure you that you will be pleased. If you'd like to give us a call, Deb has our number.
