When you contact DeBoer Building, we will discuss your project plans and the goals you wish to accomplish with your home improvement. At that time, we will acquire basic information about you and your needs and will schedule an appointment for one of our representatives to evaluate your project.

At the appointment we will walk with you through five steps:

• Step 1. Look at your project and listen to the needs you have.
• Step 2. Share with you the distinguishing characteristics and values of DeBoer Building.
• Step 3. When applicable, determine a range of cost for the project.
• Step 4. Determine whether DeBoer Building can team with you in accomplishing your goals for this project.
• Step 5. If we choose to team together, we will write and sign a proposal or, when applicable, a contract.

In some projects, we may determine together that a feasibility study will be needed or that design, layout, and plans need to be drawn. In those cases, a retainer will be required to begin detailing the project so that accurate estimates for the work can be given. We will then submit a detailed written estimate for the work to be completed. Drawings will be available for your project if necessary. Upon written agreement of the detailed estimate, we will proceed to draw up a proposal containing a payment schedule and legalities. After the proposal is signed, we will arrange a start date to begin your home improvement as soon as our availability allows.

We will be working on your project Monday through Friday, 8-5 PM unless other arrangements are necessary. Our team and trade contractors (electricians, plumbers, etc) will be professional and considerate of your environment.

We seek to give each customer an enjoyable remodeling experience. Our employees give personal attention, value and quality that meet and exceed our customers' expectations. Take a look at our customer’s evaluations and consider adding your name to the list of people we have been able to serve.

DeBoer Building and Repair was launched in May of 1985 by its founder and current owner, Ben DeBoer. Ben’s interest in building began when he worked his father’s rental properties as a young adult. As with many small businesses, for the first few years the employees consisted of only Ben and one helper and they remodeled anything and everything. Customer satisfaction was top priority right from the start.

The mindset that the customer’s needs come first helped DeBoer Building and Repair grow through the late 80’s and into the 90’s. During this time, 2 lead carpenters were hired, one of which was Ben’s brother Ron who is a driving force behind the success of DeBoer Building.

In 1999 DeBoer Building and Repair changed its name to DeBoer Building, LLC. We have had the privilege of working with so many wonderful people over the years and we are grateful for the opportunities and talents we have been given.

The strength of DeBoer Building comes from our commitment to customer satisfaction and attention to detail as well as providing quality workmanship at a fair price. We look forward to helping you remodel your home to fit your lifestyle.
