    Joel Reimer and the Reimer Construction team are great. Joel is as honest as the day is long and always a gentleman. There were never any problems, only some situations that we needed to find solutions for. Joel always wanted to be fair when an unknown arose. Even when Joel was not on site, his team represented him very well. Would I work with Joel and Reimer Construction again, absolutely!

  • They are a highly respected and very diverse Contractor

    I can personally say that my family had a great experience working with Reimer Construction on the framing and finish carpentry of our new home. We were very impressed with the workmanship and customer service. They are a highly respected and very diverse Contractor who has only gained that recognition in the industry by doing great work, satisfying the client’s needs and having an excellent rapport with their customers and suppliers. We would have no hesitation in recommending Reimer Construction to others for construction services.

  • A pleasure to work with

    Joel and the crew were a pleasure to work with. As a late fall/early winter roof restructure, they ensured we were protected from the wind and rain, even staying late on a couple of evenings as unexpected weather moved in. They were on time, efficient, and offered options for the unforeseen problems that arose throughout the project. Highly recommended.
