“Van Auken Design & build has helped my home buyer clients purchase and renovate properties to create "sweat equity". Paul Van Auken listened specifically to the goals and helped us maximize the space and bring my clients' visions to life. On both properties we worked with strict budgets and deadlines and Paul was able to have the work completed on time and within the allotted budget. Paul communicated efficiently and consistently regarding timelines for completion. In the complete overhaul of kitchens, baths, roofs and electrical, Van Auken Design & Build far exceeded my clients' expectations and did it all with a friendly smile. I will continue to recommend Van Auken Design & Build, as the company produces results that I am proud of.”
