Our clients continued enjoyment of their custom home, years after our initial meeting, remains our greatest measure of success. Their testimonials reflect our commitment to excellence and customer service.
We have had the pleasure of working with John Matustik and his team to bring a beautiful custom home to life. The commitment to our project and attention to detail was world-class. John brings a healthy intensity to each project with his determination to create the best home for his clients – best material, best design, best service, best maintenance. He went above and beyond for us from start to finish, giving us total accessibility throughout the entire process. As a builder, he has a unique eye for design and truly understands how to execute the interior design elements we provided. He lays out clear deadlines for all decisions and communicates with all involved to keep the project on schedule. Working with Matustik Builders guarantees a team of organized professionals dedicated to getting the job done right – assurance we greatly appreciated. John’s passion for quality makes him and his team great to work with throughout the build process and beyond. We had a great experience overall and would highly recommend Matustik Builders to anyone interested in building or renovating a home and can’t speak highly enough of John Matustik.
After numerous recommendations from his past clients, we used John and his team at Matustik Builders to build our dream home. It was our first time building a home and John went above and beyond in walking us through the process from start to finish. The insights he had not only saved us from costly mistakes, but provided options and additions to our home that we would never have thought of. John was always available for any questions and was proactive in his communication. The whole team was professional and kind. When very custom features were added, John always had a contact to help complete the request. During a very challenging COVID time that strained the supply chain, the progress of the house did not skip a beat, solely because of John’s extra efforts and unique skills in coordinating timelines and his many dedicated people. We went into our first home building project not knowing what to expect, but in the end know that Matustik Builders exceeded any expectations we had. On time, on budget, high quality and fun to work with. Every time we walk into our home we feel blessed.
We rarely take the time, or make the effort, to write a review or testimonial for anything. Fact is, we are often disappointed by many products or services. We are both health care professionals where there is an emphasis on quality outcomes and value. Maybe our standards or expectation are too high. This is why this review is so important to us, (and to you) if you are considering John as your builder.
We had the experience of building 3 homes prior to working with John on this one. We were ‘knowledgeable’, having learned through our prior experiences. Good and bad. Anyone who has gone through the home-building experience will tell you it can be both a dream and a nightmare.
John Matustik and Matustik Builders were the builders for two of our Lake Geneva homes. He provided the quality level of management, communication, build results, and efficiency that every client wants and needs when investing in a new home project. He worked well with our architect’s team and followed through successfully on every element of the project from foundation changes to complex trim and design requirements. The end result is a home we love and wows our guests. After we moved in and started using the home, he and his team were available to answer questions and support us in time sensitive situations when something didn’t work. He goes above and beyond to make sure his clients are happy.
We contracted with John Matustik of Matustik Builders in September, 2016 to build our house to suit in Lake Geneva, WI. It should be noted that this was a complicated purchase and sale agreement as the “house-to-be-built” was owned by another person who had a full set of architectural planes but only the house’s foundation had been poured. From the get go John worked with us (and the existing owner/seller) with a “can do” attitude to find a solution that would satisfy us both. John worked with my wife and I tirelessly literally across scores if not hundreds of modifications to the existing house plans in order to make the house “ours.” Furthermore, John executed on all these modifications and change orders on a cost plus labor basis for us…He didn’t have to do this…as is customary, he could have passed along standard “mark-up” on all our modifications/changes orders but chose not to. For this reason alone I would hold John in the highest regard for his integrity but he went well beyond that in other areas as well.
We would like to thank John and his team for the wonderful home they built incorporating my very specific needs. We needed Matustik Builders to find an architect who has ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) design experience and create a home that would make lake life easier, more comfortable and safer for me when I am in my wheelchair. The result was an impeccably constructed home with an open floor plan and wide pass throughs maximizing the space of a corner lot, utilizing sill-free sliding doors, low easy-to-access storage space, and wheel-in-shower, complete with a 5-stop elevator. And we were still able to get multiple decks and a three season screen porch. John’s management of his highly skilled and efficient team produced this home throughout the winter in under 5 months – and now my husband and I are able to enjoy a perfect Lake Geneva summer with kids and grandkids. The confirmation came yesterday when multiple people paused on the street in front of our home to comment to us how beautiful a home we had, and to ask permission to take pictures. This made me feel John had given us something really unique and very special.
We finally made the tough decision to knock down a home that had been in the family for years in order to build a lake home that we hoped we would enjoy for generations to come. It was clear to us that John Matustik was the one we wanted to complete our vision. We had seen the quality and timelines of John’s work at several beautiful homes he had recently completed in the Lake Geneva area. John kindly made himself available throughout the entire planning process so that he could be there to address any potential issues and also offer guidance and fresh ideas. John laid out an aggressive timeline in order to make sure we would not miss any precious time at the lake. John’s tremendous leadership with his trades and his excellent organizational skills were instrumental in delivering the project on time. We were thrilled that the project was completed mid May so that we still had time to work out finishing touches before the summer began.
John is our hero – he is pretty much a miracle worker. After our teardown became a fixer-upper due to setback issues, Adam at Midwest Design Group designed our home and John built it more beautifully and perfect than we could have imagined or believed possible. His attention to detail and budget constraints were phenomenal, along with great creativity in less than ideal circumstances. All of his staff and sub-contractors were top notch, professional and loyal, and he completed it all 2 months early – which is completely unheard of and astounding! We will work with him again (if we ever have the chance) and would recommend him to anyone building a home. Thank you, John!
When we decided to build our home at Lake Geneva, we chose our builder very carefully because our family has been in the homebuilding business for years. John Matustik came highly recommended from many sources. John knew we were discerning clients based on our background, and he highly exceeded all of our expectations. Throughout the entire process, he was incredibly professional in all aspects of the project and helped with every decision no matter how big or small. John was always accessible to us when we needed him. He helped keep us on schedule and delivered an incredibly high quality home in record time! We love our home, and would highly recommend Matustik Builders to anyone.
We interviewed John along with several other prominent Lake Geneva Builders to bid on our tear down project. One of our requirements was to not lose a summer season after tearing down the original house on 9/15/15. After a comprehensive builder assessment we selected John believing that he was uniquely capable of meeting our timeline with a high quality standard.
Matustik Builders delivered our project ahead of schedule, on budget and exceeded our expectations on quality. The building experience and final outcome was outstanding. John runs a highly disciplined construction schedule and engages the homeowner throughout the process. When things came up in the field, he quickly adjusted, solving problems and always put us first. He was accessible 24/7 throughout the building process. Thx John, for helping make dreams come true!
We have worked with John Matustik and Matustik Builders in the past on a few small projects, so when we decided to build our dream home there was no question where to turn. From beginning to end, John and his team made the building process a pleasure. Knowledgeable, thorough, meticulous, and patient, they are as trustworthy as it gets.
Breaking ground in the fall, John laid out a clear plan to have us in our house by Memorial Day Weekend. Sure enough we were in a few weeks earlier than that which is unheard of! Meeting every deadline he sets, John truly has the customer’s best interest at heart.
We continue to highly recommend Matustik Builders to anyone and everyone!
The Matustik Builders team ensured that our home renovation was one time and stress free. Their process focuses on an attention to detail on all aspects of a project; from providing a realistic completion date to taping off areas to keep a clean job site. The team made sure every item was completed to specification and returned to the site almost instantaneously to correct any issues or punch list items. It was one of the best construction experiences we have had and we plan to use them on all of our additional projects.
“Move That Bus” that’s how we felt as if we were living our own Extreme Makeover Episode featuring Matustik Builders. From the inception of this project until our final walk through, every detail was handled with quality craftsmanship and professionalism.
In our initial meeting last August, John Matustik and his architect, Adam Shore of MDG provided us information on how the project would proceed. We were shown previous projects, their timelines and how Matustik Builders could effectively meet our building, financial and timeline requirements. John informed us that his name is attached to the projects he takes on, and it is very important that he upholds his reputation.
Our family looked for years as to where to build our “dream” summer home. While visiting a friend living in Lake Geneva last august was when it really hit home and I thought this is what our family wants to be. The lake, the people and the vibe of good times, family and friends. Within a month we purchased a lot in South Shore Club and met John who was already building our next door neighbor’s house as well as a house across the way from us. John broke ground on our house in November and worked diligently throughout the winter. His main goal was to get us into our new home by Memorial Day weekend.
I began this project in the South Shore Club as a distant “maybe” when introduced to John Matustik by Michalene Melges. Shortly after a few great meetings with John, he was able to turn doubt into a complete reality. John methodically and patiently began and executed each necessary step to make the home building process a fun and smooth experience. We started working with Adam Shore on plans and was able to convey my ideas to him, with input from John, easy enough to simplify and expedite the beginning stages. From that point John scheduled each meeting in the order needed. John dedicates a lot of his extra time to making sure that the decisions are comfortable and your options are the best. He has the best team to coordinate the selections from tile, countertops and flooring with good experienced associates. The carpentry was finished with perfection and complete understanding of the look I wanted for this lake house.
John, were terrific as were all of the people you referred me to in order to build this amazing lake house. Adam Shore, the architect, had a keen eye and a artist’s touch. He could see beyond what existed (a creepy, dark 75 year old fishing cabin) and design a lake house to be proud of and enjoy. Bonnie and Joe were terrific help picking out tile and fixtures — I’ve already thanked them but please do so again for me. Every sub I ever interacted with was a consummate professional and always helpful and pleasant. They obviously followed your lead.
You couldn’t pick a better, more responsible, more professional, more detail oriented partner for your building process than John Matustik. We approached our new home with a list of needs and wants, a high bar for success, and a strict budget, and John has made our dreams come true. And from tear down to move in, he did it all in under four months!
We were consistently impressed with his approach to customer service, sending daily photos of our construction, staying in regular communication by phone and email about project details throughout the process, addressing questions and concerns in quick turn around, and more – all elements you want in a builder that enhance your work together.
