Dave Erwin Construction

Testimonials

GlasserBeing located in the Twin Cities and building a vacation home over 100 miles away, we were concerned about being able to keep things on track and insuring things were done correctly. Hiring Dave Erwin for the job was the best decision we could have possibly made. Everything went extremely well and we got a home that still gets compliments. Dave and his team of professionals handled every detail, corrected every imperfection and made what can sometimes be a stressful undertaking into an enjoyable process. We would highly recommend Dave for your next home or improvements to your existing home.

Borge"Wow! is the word that describes working with Dave Erwin. From superb workmanship and excellent customer service, there is no doubt our new lake home is so beautiful because of his attention to detail. Whenever we had a question, or better yet, another one of our "creative, over-the-top ideas," Dave was always there - by phone, by email, and most often, in person. He is a fantastic leader of his crew. Through the five months of construction, in bringing to life our comfortable, energy efficient "home away from home," Dave has become a great friend. Dave proves that the building process
can be fun and smooth. His clients can attest to that, time and time again. Yes, call him."

For Twin Cities residents like us who own a weekend lake home in this area, it is difficult to handle the long-distance arrangements necessary for a major home remodel. In our quest for the perfect builder, we had very high expectations and needed to find someone with sufficient experience, talent and dependability. After interviewing a number of local and metropolitan builders, we had the good fortune of meeting Dave Erwin. We discovered his work at Thumper Pond where we had met friends for lunch followed by a tour of the beautiful condominiums Dave had built. We placed a call to Dave and by the following weekend we began meeting with him on a regular basis as he helped us design Johnsonour dream home. Dave’s creativity, experience with building high-end homes and exquisite sense of style allowed us to put together a broad scope of work. Dave’s next step was to draw upon his wide circle of experienced associates to turn this macro view into a detailed plan. Dave’s team included specialists in all areas including structural engineers, Wayzata-based designers with experience in creating the “Hampton’s look” we sought, the owners of several well-established electrical, plumbing, granite fabrication and painting firms, window designers, appliance showroom representatives, fireplace distributors and interior designers from Ethan Allen. Although Dave primarily procured material from local companies, he did a great deal of research about what special appointments should be included if we were to capture the exact look we desired. He was incredibly resourceful and obtained specialty materials from companies all over the United States in order to translate our vision into reality.

Just before the work began, Dave created a detailed schedule and then proceeded to meet his schedule – a true rarity in the building profession. Dave was also very personable, accessible and flexible during the entire remodel. With a large project, one’s original plan changes almost daily and Dave handled these changes with patience, insight, thoughtful suggestions and reasonable charge. We have built and remodeled several very fine homes in our lifetime but we must say that this remodel was the most pleasant and exciting experience of all. Our home has evolved into something far more spectacular than we would have ever predicted and we owe it to Dave and his associates. We cannot imagine that any other builder could bring to the table the talent of Dave Erwin and cannot find proper words to fully describe the appreciation and respect we have for Dave.

SturdevantThe construction of our lake home last year with our contractor, Dave Erwin, was a very positive experience and very stress free. Dave was easy to work with, always available for any questions we might have, and always quickly responsive to our e-mails and phone calls. He kept in close contact with everyone regarding the schedule, sub-contractors, and suppliers. Dave was also very efficient at keeping the work schedule on track.
Our home is beautiful and functional - we’re very satisfied.

WelleI just wanted to take this opportunity to say Thank You for assisting us in making our dream home a reality.
 
The part that really sold us on Dave Erwin Construction was your guaranteed price and move in date! We could not be happier that your guaranteed price and on time move in date also became a reality not just a promise not lived up to! In today's world it seems as though those things seem to happen more and more. All told, we actually moved in a day earlier than planned on your building calendar! Along with that, we appreciate your attention to detail and your quality.
 
If we were to build again, would we use Dave Erwin Construction? Absolutely!
 
Thank You!
 
Sincerely,
Mark Welle
