Custom building projects including residential and commercial buildings, custom log home construction, remodeling, additions, decks, porches, and restorations.

Back in 2020, I purchased the forever home of my dreams – a cozy custom-renovated half-cabin, half-bungalow in the woods – from a self-described “home builder” who’d supposedly been doing this sort of work for a long time. In reality, a significant proportion of the add-ons and renovations they did were utterly shambolic, with almost nothing being level, plumb, or square, leading to water infiltration and damage in multiple rooms.

I contacted BMW Builders in 2022 as these problems reached critical mass and had a long talk and visit with the proprietors, Bill and Marsha Walsh. They extensively inventoried the issues and walked me through a remediation plan, which would tackle my immediate problems and prevent some future ones.

We started with an initial contract for demolition and inspection and then moved on to a more extensive contract for remodeling and repair, which involved elements of excavation, foundation work, roof reconstruction, and gut renovation. Their contracts are helpfully itemized, which makes it very easy to see the breakdown of costs over a complicated project like mine.

Bill Walsh is one of the smartest people I’ve ever met in terms of construction as a craft. His signature style of “talkin’ and thinkin’” and extensive documentation of project elements is intense, but made it super simple for me to follow along as work progressed. I appreciated their solicitation of my feedback throughout the process.

Bill and his crew aspire to perfection in their work and will not declare it done until they are satisfied. You will not find many home construction/improvement contractors in these parts with a similar ethos. It made be grateful because it demonstrated that they cared as much about my home as I did – it was more than just a job-site to them.

Fast-forward three months, and everything turned out beautiful and bulletproof. They were even gracious enough to take on some additional custom finishing work (under a separate itemized contract) that has provided increased utility for me and enhanced the unique character of my home.

I’ve got more work to do to get this place up to the condition that I thought I initially bought, and would gladly welcome BMW Builders back to do it. You really can’t put a price on decades of peace of mind.

We have been very impressed and happy with BMW Builders, Inc. From the initial planning to the final stages of the job, Bill & Marsha handle all aspects with their customers in mind. No detail goes unattended! They strive to exceed your expectations, all within budget. They have great integrity and take great pride in their work. We highly recommend them.

BMW Builders, Inc. and owner, Bill Walsh, maintained our two properties for nearly two years near in Cable, Wisconsin and helped prepare them for sale. They managed the grounds during all seasons, performed house maintenance and made several safety-related repairs and retrofits. Bill is very reliable and pays close attention to detail. It seems no task is beyond his skills and abilities. I highly recommend BMW Builders.

Bill and Marsha have been very good neighbors and helped us in so many ways. Watching over our place during the winter months is just one example which is priceless! BMW operates on the principal ‘Preparation is everything’ and the results prove they are right on! Bill also carved in a big log mantel to our existing fireplace, again, a perfect job. As a craftsman myself, I’ve appreciated the advice and tips Bill has offered. We’ve had the opportunity to experience the work of BMW Builders – it’s all about the attention to detail!

BMW Builders show a rare combination of integrity, expertise and total customer focus. The Baxter family highly recommends them for any building or restoration project, however small or large. Bill, Marsha and the BMW Team have consistently exceeded expectations for our current restoration project. An additional bonus is a developing friendship as well. They really focus on the relationship with the customer as well as delivering fantastic services.

I had been putting off getting a new roof put on my home for years…I didn’t know anyone to trust. A friend recommended BMW. Finally, I can put that worry to bed. Bill made more than one visit to my house just to be sure everything was measured right and it fit in my budget. He talked to me often and in a way I could understand. The garage is next and I look forward to seeing Bill and the crew again.
