Testimonials

"It is our pleasure to write this letter of recommendation for Dream Builders Bloomington, LLC. Being our first home build, we had many questions about the build process and wanted to be sure we partnered with a builder that understood our needs. Talking with many friends and colleagues who had built homes with other local builders, we heard horror story after horror story of unfinished projects or very poor build quality. When we first called Dream Builders, Micky was on vacation and we were told he would call us in a week when he returned. We received a call back from him in about an hour and even though he was on vacation with his family, he took a great deal of time to answer our questions and share with us his passion for helping people build their dreams. Availability to speak with our builder during the build was a top priority for us and throughout the build there was not one time where a call was not answered live or a message not returned promptly.

We had many ideas we wanted to incorporate into our home and Micky’s team helped us draft plans that fit our every need; including accommodations for disabled access. Even during the build when we added or changed features, Dream Builders accommodated each change on the fly with no delay in the overall build schedule. As for the actual build, we could not be happier. We wanted to do some of the work ourselves and Dream Builders allowed us to do as little or as much as we wanted; they even offered to teach us skills we didn’t have.

We’ve been living in our new home for over eight months and love everything about it. If you’re trying to find a builder who truly cares about your dreams, you’ve found them.

Sincerely,

Nathan and Carolyn Hecht

"We first met Micky at an open house. We went in only because, from the outside the house looked different from every other house we'd seen in the past 2 years. Upon walking through the front door, we knew we'd found our answer. While we did not buy that particular house, we broke ground on our Dream Builders custom home in June. Micky worked closely with us from beginning to end. We spent a great deal of time discussing exactly what we were looking for and what was important to us, so that we could narrow it down to a vision. Micky's connection to some of the best in the construction business (framers, painter, trim and cabinet maker) allowed that vision to come to fruition WITHIN OUR PRICE RANGE!

Micky clearly loves to build houses. He does the job with the enthusiasm of a hobby, yet his dedication is relentless. As first time home builders, we had plenty of questions and confusion. He patiently guided us through the process with honesty, accountability and constant availability. Because of this, I believe we were able to build exactly what we wanted, at a much higher level of quality than we expected, and without once going over our original budget. In fact, we were able to come out below budget! It is not enough to simply say that we highly recommend his services. Looking back, there is not one thing I would have changed about the process. We are truly honored to have worked with him."

"I have had the pleasure of working with Mick on several of his residential construction projects. The quality of his work has been excellent in our experience. From a bank's perpective, we have not had to worry about cost overruns or deviations from the planned draw schedule. His timeliness and attention to detail helps to ensure that projects move forward without interruption.

When working with potential customers that have not already selected a builder, we would always give a recommendation to meet with Mick and his staff at Dream Builders.

Sincerely,
