We are so happy that we hired Caliber LLC to build our lake house. Dustin, Michael and all of their team are easy to work with, communicate all the way through the project, kept the project on budget and on time, and provide great quality work. We appreciated the ideas they had that helped the house to become exactly what we envisioned! We highly recommend the Caliber LLC team!

Dustin is a guy who is very easy to work with and provides the right amount of communication. We were having our custom home bid on by multiple contractors. We did end up going with a different contractor; however, I would still recommend Caliber as a strong consideration if you are thinking about building a custom home. The reasons are: communication, design process, and dedication towards his customers/potential customers.

Hands downs, the BEST contractors to work with. Dustin and Michael always made us feel important and like we were the only house they were building (which we know we weren't). They made sure every single decision that had to be made was our decision, and never once left us in the dark if something needed changed. Their crews were super nice and very respectful. I've never walked into cleaner work sites than what Caliber's crews have left. They also finished our project in a timely manner and were right on point with every time frame. Hands down - the best and would recommend them to anyone and

Dustin and his crew were wonderful to work with. They built us a custom home within the budget that we had in mind. They were extremely detailed in the quote and everything came in where he had quoted us. He was very knowledgeable and had great advice for building our new home. They were cleanly and fast. They were done before the quoted time frame! We had so many people comment on how fast everything went and it was done right. We have nothing but wonderful things to say about this company and we would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for quality work.
