KRÄM Construction & Design

Kram has a great team. Everyone was sure helpful from the estimators, office staff and the works on the job site. Great communication through out the process. The job site foreman was great. The team treated the work site like it was their home and made sure I received excellent service through out. The office staff was easy to reach and help guide us through all the different options available. We love our new pole barn. Also the work on our house made our house look like new. The siding and roofing looks great!

Where do we even begin! Our experience with Northern Castle Homes was beyond incredible. Not only was Mark Wanner and his office manager, Kathryn amazing to work with, but the entire team of Northern Castle Homes was awesome. The experience, professionalism, craftsmanship, and dedication from this crew is unbelievable. Mark was able to stay within our budget and set forth a smooth build process from start to finish. Any problem encountered during the build, which was very few, Mark and the crew were ready with solutions before anybody even had time to even think about worrying. Now, we have a beautiful, well-built forever home on our farm. Sending all of our thanks to the entire NCH team: Mark, Kathryn, Kaleb, Nathaniel, John, Robert, Gideon, Seth, Elijah, and William. We wish we could give you a trillion stars!!!!!

We expect quality craftsmanship when we work with builders; we were not disappointed with the work Northern Castle Homes provided us! We have no affiliation with Northern Castle Homes and only came to learn of them through a recommendation from our realtor. With quality work being one of our priorities, we hold communication, punctuality and cleanliness equally important. Mark and Kathryn met us at our home for a late appointment on Friday evening. We both work and they happily met us to accommodate our schedule. Mark and Kathryn presented timely, professionally and both smiled as they greeted us. We provided Mark with a few ideas, but really relied on him to give us some direction on the layout for our new kitchen. Northern Castle Homes provided us emails in the next couple days with an expectation of timelines for project completion. Shortly thereafter, we received a detailed description of services to be provided and a 3-D mock presentation of our new kitchen. About a week before the project began, Mark called me and finalized the plan. Secretly, I was a little skeptical on the timeline he gave me. I thought, “How are they going to demolish and install in just 5 short days?” For the next week and all the way through project completion, Mark was communicating with me by phone and text. He told us what to expect and when to expect it. Each day during the project we would come home and be excited to see their work completed that day. We were also able to meet the crew doing the work at our house that was led by Nathaniel. Nathaniel and his team presented professionally and were eager to make us happy. In reality though, my wife and I believe that each Northern Castle Home employees are simply good people by nature. Nathaniel and team finished their days work and cleaned up their mess. Besides our missing kitchen, you would not notice carpenters, electricians and others were working in that area during the day. The project was finished on time. Our new kitchen was expertly installed. My wife and I genuinely recommend Northern Castle Homes for the work they completed for us. We appreciatively thank Mark, Kathryn, Nathaniel and team for the work they provided our family. Michael and Kate Ross 8/6/2019

We are so appreciative of the incredible work that Mark Wanner and the crew at Northern Castle Homes have done for us and for our clients! Mark's last project for us involved a complete office remodel and redesign, and it came out incredible. Mark is outstanding at follow through, maintains great communication, and does high quality work. I highly recommend him!

Great experience! Have never built before, frankly was scared due to all of the horror stories. Northern Castle Homes was recommended by a trusted friend. The entire process was exactly as was represented from start to finish. Deadlines were met. Budget was adhered to and well monitored. We ended up with our dream home. If we ever build again, Northern Castle Homes will be our first phone call

I worked with Mark and his team over the last year to help build a dream home. Working with Mark was a great experience through and though. He worked with me to help get me the design I wanted while staying within the budget I needed. This was no easy task but Mark was patient, took the time to explain things to me, and always did so making me feel good about the process. I don't know how I was so lucky to have found him but I wanted to make sure I reviewed his work so others get the opportunity to work with Mark and his team!

We had the wonderful opportunity to build our retirement home in petoskey with Mark Wanner and his team of northern castle homes. He managed to our budget while at the same time provided continued guidance thru the build process which had a few bumps and unexpected requirements due to the lake we were building on. The immediate attention to our feedback coupled with awesome communication exceeded our expectations. We would recommend northern castle homes in a heartbeat. We are so excited to move up north where the landscape is beautiful and our home is a great add to the wonderful scenery

Northern Castle Homes is an extraordinary design and construction company. We hired NCH to perform major renovations to an old country house we purchased in 2012. Renovations included re-roofing, residing, a wrap-around covered porch with steps and railings, complete rebuilding of a very deteriorated sunroom, complete conversion and rebuilding of an attached single car garage into a spacious office with wiindows and a large attic storage room above it, a complely new 36ft x 24ft detached garage with an adjoining 8ft covered patio, and new concrete sidewalks, driveway, and a 3-car parking pad in front of the house for visitors. Every aspect of the project was performed professionally, accurately, and with a level of quality that repeatedly exceeded our expectations. Time and cost estimates were routinely met too. We offer our highest recommendation of Northern Castle Homes to anyone looking for high quality construction by a truly hard-working, efficient, and friendly crew of professionals.

This company is a delight to work with. They are dependable, listen to your needs and does excellent work. They use quality materials and keep you involved at all times. We have used them for both new construction and remodeling. We would not hesitate to use them for any project.

Excellent workmanship, worked with us to remodel a older home. W ork was done promptly and correctly. Would highly recommend this business.

We built a 32X64 pole barn with a loft, our plans were thoroughly gone over prior to estimate and our budget was spot on. Mark was very thorough in knowing exactly what we wanted. He and his workers are Professional, Friendly and able to answer any questions that you may have while the project is going on. Even with a change that we requested, the job was done on time. Only down time was due to weather. Area was always kept up so that we had access to our cabin without having to move things or step over things. Mark goes above and beyond to make sure everything is what you want. Our barn exceeded our expectations. We would definitely use Northern Castle Homes again and have already recommended them to a friend.

We couldn't be more satisfied with the work of Northern Castle Homes in building our riverside custom cabin. Building a home can be a frustrating experience but that was not the case working with Mark Wanner and his crew. The subcontractors did impeccable work. Everyone involved seemed to take pride in the project. Mark is a creative, forward-thinking, conscientious Builder. His personal investment and love for custom home building was evident throughout the process. You won't find a better contractor!
