Very happy with Kevin and his crew constructing our insulated pole shed. Reasonably priced, worked through any problems that came up, great customer service. I would recommend TJ specialty construction to anyone looking for a crew who works hard and does great work.

TJ Specialty remodeled and added a huge addition/garage to our home in 2014 while we lived in it! We credit them with the ability to improve on features suggested by the architect and add their ideas to make our home suit us to a tee! During a very difficult winter and spring, they completed the project in a timely fashion and have done additional smaller jobs for us since that time. We would highly recommend them to anyone needing a quality constructed and finished home.

These guys are great to work with. They are timely and do a quality job. I have a beautiful lake home that I get compliments on all the time. I had saved pictures for years of how I wanted my dream home to look. Kevin is talented and was able to reproduce the look just by looking at the pictures. They really listen to what you want and make it happen. Love my home. I highly recommend TJs!
