Testimonials
I hired Westring Construction to transform two small 1970-style baths into a larger “green” one. The craftsmanship was excellent from design to finishing touches. The staff was friendly and responsive and all were willing to work out green issues and solve green problems: finding out who, locally, sells good condition, recycled products, such as clawfoot tubs and solid hardwood doors or what chemicals different products contained. I would gladly recommend Westring Construction for home remodeling projects.

I have worked with them on three occasions.
The first was as general contractor for soffit repair and painting, porch repair, ceiling replacement, and wood floor repair and refinishing. I live near Albion and have a cream brick house built in 1853 and it needs some care. James kept me informed as to the timeline, unexpected repair issues and options, as well as cost and materials issues. He was (and still is) extremely helpful in offering advice in my restoration efforts.
The second project was summer of 2007 when I decided that since I was having the kitchen cabinets replaced, the kitchen could stand some insulation and finish work. James was general contractor for insulating, electrical, plumbing, unanticipated floor support restructuring, floor replacement, painting, masonry repair, and wood trim replacement to match the rest of the house. I am particularly pleased with the trim and increased energy efficiency.
The third project has just been finished and involved enclosing a back porch and transforming it into a four season sunroom. I am very pleased with it and look forward to enjoying it next winter.
Other than wishful thinking about free repairs done overnight, I could ask for little more from Westring Construction. Westring employees and subcontractors have always been very pleasant and easy to work with. I have been especially pleased with them as they have done solid reliable work which should not have to be redone in my lifetime. I have been more than happy working with them and intend to continue as the need arises.

Westring Construction did an excellent job of weatherizing our home according to the home inspection we had done. The quality of their work was confirmed during the retesting done by our home inspector. He found the sealing and insulation work produced better results than he had expected. Thanks very much.

I have had the pleasure of working with James Westring and Westring Construction on a number of projects, large and small, over the past few years, including a major remodeling of my current residence. My experience has been uniformly positive. James and his people have been attentive, timely, unquestionably competent, and highly skilled. In addition, based on my research, Westring's pricing has been remarkably fair and competitive. It is clear that James is intent on making his clients happy. I can recommend Westring Construction without qualification.

Westring Construction worked on four home renovations for us thus far: energy weatherization, kitchen remodel, garage completion and basement completion. Even before we hired you, you contacted us to see if we had chosen a construction company. That call let us know you cared while the other companies never bothered to follow up with us.
You maintain this communication with us every step of the way, never leaving us in the dark. The quality of your workmanship is always above standard. Any construction on one's home is disruptive but you made it seamless. Your crew even showed up during one of the biggest snowstorms in our history. They arrived with the attitude that it was not big deal to arrive on time after driving on roads not yet cleared.
After work is completed, you contact us to find out if everything is satisfactory. That is the dedication and quality of service we have come to expect from Westring Construction. We look forward to continuing to work with you as together we make our house a home we are proud of. You always make it feel like we are all on the same team.

When we purchased our 40's ranch-style home last summer, we had a vision of what it could become and James Westring made it possible. Neither of us had worked with a contractor before, but James helped us along the entire way, guided us in making decisions and the results are amazing. Our home is exactly how we had envisioned it. The entire process was handled professionally, with consideration of our neighbors, to us, our home and to the environment. James suggested we do everything possible to become a "green-built" certified home, which involved some extra work on his part, but we followed his suggestion, and became the first certified "green-built" re-modeled home in the State of Wisconsin. James' attention to detail, the level of professionalism, and the obvious love he has of his job, has made our home a showcase we love to share with neighbors, family and friends. Thanks James.

We used Westring Construction when renovating our kitchen. All of the employees were helpful and easy to have around. Our kitchen turned out beautifully. It was not only on budget but ahead of schedule. We would definitely use them again!"

Westring Construction recently completed a project to install a family/handicapped accessible rest room at our church. We were impressed and pleased with their effective management of the project and its budget.
-First Baptist Church in Madison
We have used Westring Construction for several projects in our home over the past few years. Whether big or small, each project has gone smoothly, finished on time, and within the budget. James does a great job of collaborating with us to define the project. He works with us to understand our vision and makes suggestions. He is sensitive to maintaining the original character of the house, while adding modern enhancements. We have been so pleased with the results that we have recommended Westring Construction to family and friends, and plan to use them again in our next house.
