"During our kitchen remodeling project, Tim kept us informed of the progress.  He's always very accessible.  His workmen were respectful of the rest of the house and cleaned up every night.  The subcontractors were also top-notch craftsmen.

"I will recommend Tim Lemke Construction to anyone who asks.  In fact it seems his company is 'working the way down our block of homes'.  He is highly competent, easy to work with, flexible and accommodating."
