Testimonials

Happy Clients

I have worked with Travis and Shalae on many projects over the years, everything from completely re-building and creating kitchen counters, to intricate lighting and electrical needs. They always come up with very creative solutions to my many issues, especially in owning older homes.

Shalae and I have also consulted others on paint colors and design ideas for my clients as well. They both showcase creative style, and trustworthy materials and design!
Sue Wilkerson
Realtor, ReMax Crossroads
I have been working in the construction industry since 2001, and have worked with Shalae and Travis for the last 4 years on a diverse range of projects. The experience of working with them stands out as exceptional when compared to all others in my 23 years of experience. Their wide range of combined skills & knowledge has resulted in successful planning, collaboration, and execution every time!

What stands out for me in particular is the vision they have during project development and execution. Scheduling is clear and forward-thinking, expectations are clearly outlined, so goals are targeted and achievable. They are also nimble enough to change course effectively and efficiently whenever circumstances might change. This is a testament to their diverse expertise, and innate ability to build relationships and inspire confidence across the range of contractors they work with.

I always look forward to working with Shalae and Travis, because I am certain the project will be managed in a way that will allow me to take pride in my contribution, and help me build my brand by partnering in quality execution of a project that is certain to meet-- or more often, exceed-- expectations. To work with people who set me up for success from “Day One” is truly a joy, and tremendously valuable and unique for customers and sub-contractors alike.

Outstanding people with outstanding vision, doing outstanding work!!
David Brekke
Business Owner, Apogee Custom Coatings
I have worked and consulted with Shalae and Travis Larsen on different projects for the last ten years. All of these projects were difficult renovations that required imagination and flexibility. I have to admit that I am not the easiest person to work with or for, but Shalae and Travis managed to do a great job for a fair price on all of them. I appreciate their patience and their willingness when they deal with me but, I also appreciate the push back from them if they thought the project would suffer from one of my ideas. In my opinion, a great project cannot be achieved unless you have a design team and contractors who work, listen and respect each other. Shalae and Travis bring that to a project. Imagination, innovation and quality are all part of their projects big or small. All of the above sounds a little hokey, but it is true.

I have known Travis and Shalae for over 20 years. I watched them meticulously and painstakingly transform a Victorian in the early 2000s from a burn out, to a masterpiece. As a builder, I highly recommend Shalae and Travis because details and perfection matter.
