Constraction reviews in Lakeville, Minnesota

We were referred to Country Creek Builders by a few of our neighbors that had worked with them in the past. We were in the market to finish our basement, and looking back now, we made a fantastic choice to work with the team at Country Creek Builders. They worked with us from the initial concept/design, providing ideas, trends, and other things to think about as we were building the blueprint for what we wanted the basement to look like. Dan, Dave and team were professional, extremely personable and provided a quality that exceeded our expectations. The schedule was built for the two month project, and was followed closely when it came to time allotted for jobs and the overall budget. We couldn't be more pleased with the craftsmanship, quality, look, and price that the Country Creek team provided. We will absolutely be repeat customers, and HIGHLY recommend them to anyone looking to have work done on their home!

Country Creek Builders did great job on our main floor renovation. Dan was very professional to work with and approached the project in a very organized and efficient fashion. The crew that worked on the project are real craftsmen and their attention to detail exceeded our expectations. Every contact person for building material and appliance selections were knowledgeable and profesional. We would highly recommend Country Creek to any of our friends and family.

We had Country Creek Builders do some exterior renovations for us, having used them before on interior projects. Dan is a great listener, and was patient with us as we worked through a number of revisions. His team is very professional, and Dave is a true craftsman--making sure the build was done correctly, and taking time to get the details right. Their staff are skilled, courteous and friendly. They pay particular attention to keeping the work site clean and kept the necessary inconveniences of the project to a minimum. We would highly recommend this company to anyone looking for quality work form a very customer focused firm.

Let's begin by saying we are very pleased with the work done by Country Creek Builders. We would recommend them to our family and friends for their remodeling projects. In fact, we feel fortunate that Designed Cabinets recommended Dan Drenckman and his Company Country Creek Builders to us.

Our home remodel was a large project that included a new kitchen, dining room, family room, recreation room, several bedrooms and bathrooms. All of this work was done with significant professionalism and care. Our home is beautiful if we can say so ourselves.

We feel confident that Country Creek Builders is able to do this quality of work for several reasons:
1. Dan Drenckman and his son Dave make a great team. Dave is the onsite manager while Dan is always available for conversations and visits.
2. On a project as large as ours, reputation and availability of key subs is absolutely critical. Dan uses good subs and his own staff can do tile, finishing carpentry, painting and much more. They are all detailed oriented and very capable.
3. Workmanship is also important to us and Country Creek Builders takes pride in everything they touch.
4. Finally, the best thing I can say about cost is that on a price/value basis, I would very much use Country Creek builders again.

Thank you Dan, Dave and Team.

Our project was primarily a kitchen remodel but also included carpet replacement on the main floor, stairwell and bedrooms, installation of hardwood floors in a stairwell, re-staining of hardwood floors, ceiling texture change, and painting throughout. We are very happy with the work done by Country Creek Builders. The project was finished very close to the estimated completion date. We appreciated the high level of customer service provided by all of Country Creek’s employees and subcontractors. In addition to doing great work, everyone has been professional, kind, and extremely personable. Dan did excellent work on our kitchen design. We really appreciated the help and suggestions he provided when picking out the kitchen cabinets, counter-top, and back splash. Throughout the project, Dan responded quickly to all our questions and concerns. He stopped by throughout the project to check on the progress. There was even some final painting work done on Christmas Eve morning. Dan stopped by to see how his team was doing. We think this speaks highly of his character; if his team members are working, then he is as well. Overall, we have been extremely pleased with the work done by Country Creek. In fact, we have already spoken to Dan about starting the design process for our next project, a master bath remodel. Thank you, Dan and team!

Country Creek Builders just completed a remodeling of our lower level bathroom. This is the third project they have done for us in the last 2 years, so we're obviously extremely pleased with the high quality of their work. Dan and all of the individuals involved in completing the project are respectful and courteous, do high quality work, do an excellent job of communicating the status of the project and what to expect next, as well as doing an awesome clean up job when the job is done. I would highly recommend this company for any home remodeling project.

We just had Country Creek Builders complete yet another project for us, our fourth one. All of the positive comments that I posted a year ago remain true once again. We worked mainly with Dave on this particular project and he was knowledgeable, courteous and did his usual quality work. We were kept informed as to the status of the project as well as what and who to expect next. And although this project was a smaller one in comparison to what we've done in the past, their work was the same high quality as our larger projects. I would continue to highly recommend Country Creek Builder for any remodeling projects.

I am not allowed to give this company the number of stars they deserve, so they will have to live with 5. I would highly recommend you consider County Creek Builders for any remodeling or even new build projects you have. They recently finished the second project for us. Our first in 2016 was fairly minor in scope but important to us. It was a master bath and closet remodel which included removing a second story fireplace.

When we were ready to tackle a larger project: complete 1973 era basement gut and finish; main floor addition of a bathroom and closet to an existing office to create a mother-in-law suite; laundry room refurbish; and miscellaneous fixes - we had no doubt we wanted Dan Drenckhan to do the work.

Dan works with you up front to understand your vision, needs, and desires. He can either provide a rough estimate to begin, or do a complete design with detailed estimates, plans and schedule projections before signing a contract.

Dan's company has a core set of employees who do a lot of the work, but he also has a group of highly skilled subcontractors he as worked with for years to handle cabinetry, glass, mirrors, plumbing, heating and electrical work. All of his employee's and subcontractors are professional, courteous and they respect you and your home. They ensure that existing flooring, walls and ventilation are protected from damage. They clean up almost every day the work area so as not to leave a mess you have climb through. Some days and types of work don't always allow for that, but it is all within reason.

When the work begins, you are provided a detailed task oriented schedule of the planned work so you can plan your life. The schedule will likely have some changes through the project to adapt to real life conditions. But when there are changes required you are kept informed so you understand the reasons and changes. His professional teams show up when they say, or inform you if they can't, so you are not left hanging around wondering when they will show up. This to us was worth a lot.

Dan works with the city and county to get all the required permits and inspections. This is very important and ensures the work is up to code, so there are not issues in the future of the home.

The craftmanship is excellent to begin with. But if there are minor fixes and touch ups, they work through punch list so that they and you are satisfied. The Contract is the price you pay, unless there are signed-off change orders along the way.

People sometimes say "you pay for what you get, but you don't always get what you paid for". I can tell you, with this company you DO get what you paid for. They may not always be lowest bidder, but you will be happy with finished project, and the process of getting there.

Country Creek Builders were very professional as we worked with them. They were excellent communicators throughout the planning process and the remodel. We were pleased with the effort and the quality of workmanship for each phase of the job. They were very conscious of keeping our home as dust free as possible and cleaning up at the end of each work day. We are very happy with our new bathroom.

I worked with Country Creek Builders for a major remodel at my dental practice, Lakeville Modern Dentistry. They built four new dividing walls to expand patient spaces so we can serve our growing demand. The project involved erecting the walls, replaced flooring in all operatories (and leveling uneven concrete floors), repainting each room, and ensuring newly enclosed rooms met commercial codes, permits, and the like. We had a few additional electrical requests that CCB coordinated with their subs -- who are truly professionals in their work. Stallions work with other Stallions, not donkeys.

As a dentist, attention to detail is key—not just in my work but also in the environment we create for our patients. Country Creek really got this. They brought high standards to every step, knowing that a well-done space reflects the care we give.

One of the most impressive things was their ability to phase out the work so we could stay open during construction. The team worked with us to strategically plan loud or odor-intensive work, keeping our service to patients going smoothly - and let me tell you -- as a full operating and functioning dental clinic, you can BET we tested their ability to manage scheduling, time, deadlines, and communication -- and they delivered. Dan, the owner, and Dave - our main contact - were both fantastic about communication and planning, making sure the process stayed smooth despite the scale of the project.

We did this remodel in two phases, starting with one room to test things out. Once they proved their skill and reliability, we confidently moved on to phase two. Dan, Dave, and their team (Rommel, Corey, David, and several others) went above and beyond at every turn. I couldn’t recommend Country Creek more highly if you’re looking for experience, professionalism, and a team that gets things done right and ensures a happy client. I known I've found my go-to contractor for any future expansions, remodels (commercial or residential). I'll post pictures once we finish outfitting out rooms with dental equipment for final photos :) -- Thanks guys! Dr. Eric Bender, Lakeville Modern Dentistry

Country Creek helped us design and built the deck on our new house. They were amazing from start to finish. Dan helped us design our dream deck, and Dave and his crew worked their butts off every day to build it. They kept us updated along the way and the finished product is just what we wanted. Thanks Country Creek!

We recently had our Master bathroom and closet expanded into our 4th bedroom to make an amazing master bath and closet! Dan was very easy to work with and incredibly timely and informative. Country Creek has to be the best contractor we have ever worked with. We would recommend them to anyone looking for a remodel. All of the guys that work for them were super nice, extremely helpful, and very trustworthy. We cannot express our gratitude enough to all of them for such an amazing job they did.They were also super nice to our dogs too! We cannot say enough nice things about the quality of work and the people that work with Country Creek. If you need a remodel done they should be the ones to get the job done.

Our remodel is everything we asked for and more! We recently had several different remodeling projects in our home including bathrooms, family room and kitchen. Dan, Dave and their team did amazing work. They kept us informed of schedules, asked great questions, were courteous and very respectful. We are extremely happy with how everything turned out and are pleased we chose to work with Country Creek Builders! If we have any future needs, we will definitely contact them. We strongly recommend their work!

After meeting with several other contractors we chose Country Creek Builders to finish our basement. When we met Dan, the owner, for the first time at our home we felt confident we made the right choice. He is thorough & detail oriented with his plans so that once the project begins you get exactly what you want.

Dan was great to work with. He was always very communicative throughout the entire process, stayed on top of deadlines outline from the start of the project, and he always took care of any issues that came up during the project and made them right.

Everyone on the Country Creek crew was very friendly and respectful of our home. The workmanship on everything is outstanding. We absolutely could not be happier with the result. This is our forever home and we will be enjoying the space Country Creek built for us for many years to come.

If we could give more that 5 stars, we would. Thank you Dan and team for making our dream come true!

We recently hired Country Creek Builders to remodel our unfinished basement. Dan and his staff were great to work with. They are very professional and do high quality work. You can tell that all of the employees take pride in doing a great job and try very hard to make the customer happy.

When were first interviewing contractors to hire, we were very impressed by Dan and his knowledge of the details of construction and the overall process. Definitely not the case with other contractors we spoke to.

During the design process, Dan was very accommodating and worked to incorporate our ideas and needs. I also appreciate the level of detail he provided when preparing the detailed estimate for the project so that everyone was clearly on the same page throughout the project.

From a schedule standpoint, the entire project was scheduled weeks before they actually started, and everything during the project was completed on or before the dates noted in the schedule. Dan was also very available and responsive throughout the project and responded very quickly to any questions that came up.

Overall, we are very happy with our new space, and I would highly recommend Country Creek Builders to anyone!

It is frustrating we are only able to give Country Creek Builders, Inc. a 5 star review as they were truly off the charts in executing superior quality work remodeling our basement, adding a main floor bathroom and closet, repairing our garage and tackling a lengthy list of miscellaneous “challenges” throughout our 52-year-old home.
Country Creek’s owner, Dan Drenckhan, wrote us a detailed easy-to-understand estimate addressing all our concerns. Once we signed, he provided us with a detailed professional design as well as a detailed easy-to-understand task chart. He ordered all the thousands of parts for this project and procured all the necessary permits and scheduled all the inspections.
Equally valuable, Dan vetted and put together the most amazing team of craftspeople: the cement guys, the Credit River Granite counter-top folks, the American Glass & Mirror glaziers, Julie at Pro-Source Flooring, all the Boevaag Plumbing plumbers, all the Horizon Electric electricians, all the Designed Cabinets cabinetmakers, as well as the sub-flooring and ceiling teams. And then there is The Hive of Five: Dave Drenckhan, our very hands-on Project Manager, promptly answered every call, text and email, and helped his team wherever needed. David H., our incredible Master Carpenter, demo-man, sheet-rocker, floor-installer, door and window hanger and trim-man, treated us with his excellent gentle humor and his terrific work ethic. Corey, the hands-down best tile-layer in the business, took the utmost care in cutting and laying every single piece with the greatest precision and forethought. Rommell, our stupendous stainer and clear-coater, created a veritable showroom of perfect woodwork for us. And Bailey, our professional artist and painter, cheerfully, meticulously and dripless-ly applied 50 gallons of paint over so many, many, many, walls and tiny niches.
All these wonderful people clearly take great pride in their work which is no doubt borne out of respect for themselves, for each other, and for us, their clients. We are forever grateful to them for all their extraordinary patience, tact and understanding as well as for the highly functional and beautiful set of rooms they left us with.
We whole-heartedly recommend Country Creek Builders to anyone interested in experiencing a stress-free and highest quality possible home building/remodeling project.

We highly recommend Dan and Country Creek Builders! Dan helped us sort through a variety of needs and wants to design a fabulous addition and remodel. Dave and the crew were professional, skilled, thorough and friendly, executing the project on time and meeting all our expectations. Schedule management was impressive with one sub leaving and another arriving shortly after to keep the work moving along. We were completely satisfied with the building process and are thrilled with our resulting home!

Absolutely Amazing!! We just went through a complete main floor remodel that included Kitchen, Living Room, Family Room, Den, and half bathroom. We met with several local contractors and after meeting with Dan we knew right away that Country Creek was who we wanted to work with. Dan was very detailed in laying out the scope of the project and where we were unsure about things, he made great recommendations for us. In addition to Dan his project manager Dave is fantastic to work with on a daily basis. Between the two of them your project is in excellent hands. With the entire main level of our house under renovation Dave and the entire crew were very respectful to us and our home as the project took place. They do amazing work and are relentless about staying on task with completion dates. We went through this project in the middle of COVID and while supply chains were effecting lumber, appliances, and other materials they still finished on time. we have built two homes and have also done an outside remodel and Country Creek has been the best contractor we have worked with. The quality is amazing and the attention to the smallest details and making sure things are done correctly is impressive. We are already saving for the next project and will definitely be using Country Creek!!

We recently worked with Country Creek Builders on a full bathroom remodel, a hall bath refresh (new tile flooring and countertop), new kitchen quartz countertops with a full-height quartz backsplash, updated flooring throughout the main level, new carpet throughout the full basement, and complete painting—including closets—and we couldn’t be happier with the results.

From the beginning, communication was superb. They use a project management software that clearly outlined what would be done each week, and before any work started, we received a highly detailed estimate. This level of transparency made it easy for us to plan and stick to our budget, which we really appreciated.

The work itself was top-notch. A special shoutout to Bailey, the painter—she was incredibly skilled and detail-oriented. Not only did she do a beautiful job throughout the house, but her ceiling patchwork was so seamless you’d never know it was touched. Truly impressive craftsmanship.

Every member of the crew was professional, efficient, and respectful of our space. The project was completed smoothly and on schedule. We would absolutely recommend Country Creek Builders to anyone looking for quality craftsmanship and a well-organized, stress-free remodeling experience.

Thank you, Country Creek Builders!

Country Creek Builders were wonderful to work with. Dan has great ideas and vision. He listens to you and helps you to design your own project. Dave is a great Carpenter down to the smallest details. He also has his finger on the pulse of every project they perform, from scheduling his crews, sub-contractors and building materials to the site. With his schedule you know what is happening each day. The employees are very talented and are a joy to have in your house. What a great experience with Country Creek Builders.

We found Country Creek Builders online and were impressed with the glowing reviews so we contacted them and met with the owner Dan to discuss remodeling our primary and hall bathrooms. After having met with a couple of other builders we knew at our first meeting with Dan that we wanted to hire them to do the work, and we could not be happier with the outcome. Dan and his son Dave were always available to answer any questions or to deal with any issues that arose, and Corey, David, Rommel and Bailey were all exceptional at their trades. They were not only skilled, but kind and respectful as well. We wholeheartedly recommend Country Creek Builders and would hire them again in a heartbeat!

Country Creek Builders came in to help us out in remodeling our hall bathroom and kitchen. They were awesome to work with! Dan was really responsive and helpful in scoping out the work, Dave was really great in communicating with us and managing the schedule to minimize disruption, and the crew working with them were professional, respectful, and did quality work! This is important when you have people in your home, and you aren’t around. I would recommend this company to anyone looking to do a home improvement project!
