I am in search of a home in Madison from across the country. I can't fly to Madison every time something comes on the market that I am genuinely interested in. So I work with James. He coordinates with the agent or the home owner to conduct an inspection. In one case, he even provided a semi-detailed estimate on the installation of a laundry room. He performs a really comprehensive walk-through and inspection (from a contractor's perspective) and provides his take on the property. His written report includes many photos. It's perfect. As a result of this great experience with James, and the information

I had our porch posts replaced and they did an AMAZING job. The day the posts arrived they were over to our place to put them in. We're so happy with the work they did. 100% recommend giving them a call.

James arranged and managed a major structural repair project on our 90 year old house. The project entailed removal and replacement of a major structural steel beam which had failed. All details and schedules were very detailed and adhered to. Project was completed on time, on budget and without major damage to the structure. Extremely pleased with the outcome and very satisfied with Westring. I would HIGHLY recommend them for any projects.

James and his team were excellent to work with. We worked with them for finishing our entire basement. They did the design work, picked materials, and all the construction. The team was professional, kept the work site clean daily, communication was excellent and they stayed on timeline and budget. They helped us match the existing finishes in our home so it felt continuous and I would definitely recommend Westring Construction!

Westring did a wonderful job of restoring and remodeling my first-floor bathroom, which had nearly collapsed from a flat-roof leak. In addition, they built a pantry adjacent to my small kitchen, altered a closet, repaired my old pulley windows, and made other improvements as required by the city. I knew I was in good hands, beginning with the initial design process. The designer was a gem and thought of solutions that I would not have, thereby increasing storage and creating a beautiful and tranquil environment. When unexpected problems were encountered (e.g., a split pipe under the floor or an

They helped us to plan what we wanted, no pressure. They measured out what we needed for the supplies, ordered them and also delivered them. There was no waste.They were prompt when they were scheduled to come and the carpenters were very friendly and respectful. the finished product was everything we wanted and then some.The entire experience was great and we would highly recommend James and his crew at Westring. Thank you! Dan & Jill, Monona.
