"Riverland Homes provided us with professional services that exceeded our expectations.
John Chlopek tightly managed the bidding and budgeting, and promised only what he could deliver; our project was always under control. We saw a cost plus job as the most cost-effective way to build, but knew it would take a great deal of trust in the contractor. We found that in John and in Riverland Homes. John understands that the relationship with his client goes beyond his own team, and makes sure that he has the right subcontractors for the job.
Chris Bittner, John's partner, is the perfect person for the on-site supervision of the job. We found him to be extremely knowledgable and able to achieve our high expectations with ease and grace. He is a problem solver and a creative thinker and he made himself available. He's the kind of guy who becomes your friend while he's on the job and we looked forward to seeing him. It is apparent that Chris has a great deal of pride in the projects he manages, and he is a good liason between the homeowner and the subcontractors, and a good advocate for the homeowner in the process.
John and his staff at Riverland Homes gives excellent after care from every individual on the team. Over a year past project completion, the office staff provided an account breakdown of building costs for meetings with our home insurer and the tax accessor. Chris Bittner's on-site after care has been tremendous, responding to even the smallest concerns far beyond the one-year new home warranty period. This is a team where each person contributes to make a first class experience for the client.
The quality of work, the ability to tightly manage the budget, the team's dynamics, and the on-going customer care are what make this a team that we would hire again. We have referred Riverland Homes to others, which is the highest compliment we can pay to them."
