A Continuous Commitment t0 Excellence
W
e want to let you know how pleased we are with the new home you built for us. The quality of construction and your commitment to satisfying your clients is shown in your attention to all
the small details that go into building a beautiful home. Not only were you our builders, but we now consider you our friends. That is something that is not often said today. — Bob & Judy Wierenga
I
would recommend Ron, Tim and RAT Construction to anyone from anywhere!! They are accomplished professionals for which I thank them for creating the
magnificent new house that has felt like home from the first day working with them. They blended the natural wetlands into the interior finishes, decks, boardwalk and landscaping. The eco-efficient materials, systems and appliances built into our home minimize utility costs and environmental waste. Thanks, again to both of you. — Jim & Karen Schmidt
Decades of Experience
F
rom design and planning, to construction and the finished home, R.A.T. Construction represents simply the best in service and reliability. Any home contracted will be finished promptly and built of the finest materials. The team of subcontactors and suppliers utilized
by R.A.T. Construction shares the same vision of uniqueness and quality of custom home design and construction.
R
.A.T. Construction has been an absolute pleasure to work with in every aspect. My wife and I built a vacation home in Grand Haven, Michigan, for our family, and due to business duties, we were unable to keep an ‘eye’ on the project. Instead, our 26-year-old daughter was asked to be the main contact for Ron and Tim during the construction for material choices, personal direction and any other communications. She fell head-over-heels for R.A.T. Pack and greatly enjoyed the building experience. I visited the project only a couple times and was thrilled with the workmanship and attention to detail. If anyone ever needs the ‘hands off’ approach to building their dream home, I can think of no one better to trust than the folks at R.A.T. Construction. — Lance Thompson
Uncompromising Style and Character
W
e cannot thank you and everyone on the R.A.T. Construction team enough for all of your hard work and attention to detail while building our home. Your team is
truly comprised of master craftsmen. It was our first experience in the building process and we really appreciate your professionalism and patience. Everyones’ continuous smiling faces and wonderful sense of humor sure helped too! When we wake up in the morning, we remind ourselves that just a short time ago, this was just nothing but space and air. And now it is a solid building we call home. — Denny and Janet Hartman
