Client Testimonials
We would highly recommend Ironwood for any new construction or remodel project under consideration.
“As first-time home builders, we were very pleased with the support provided by Dan and Serenity. We assumed this process would be very stressful and overwhelming but working with Dan and Serenity made it far less daunting than we ever could have imagined. Once we made the decision to build, Dan recommended an architect and he worked very closely with us through the design phase. Dan and Serenity guided us throughout the project, offering useful cost saving suggestions, and providing regular progress updates. Our home was completed on time and on budget, with extremely high quality. Ironwood has a reputation as a high quality, custom builder, that stands behind any project they complete. That was certainly confirmed in our project. We would highly recommend Ironwood for any new construction or remodel project under consideration.”

Dan – Your integrity is a virtue and that is hard to find in today’s world.
“I cannot begin to tell you how pleased I am with the effort of Ironwood. It is dedicated employees that make Ironwood a great company to work with.
Dan – Your integrity is a virtue and that is hard to find in today’s world. Again, I cannot come up with enough words to express my gratitude. Thanks guys.”

The quality and beauty of the work was more than I expected.
As a retired General Contractor, I understood why our Trails Council, Founder’s Terrace project did not receive much of a response to our multiple bid request. Our project was small but complex, management intensive but low margin, had a tight, firm timeline and was managed by a committee.
Understandably, we only received one credible and complete bid: it came from Ironwood Construction. I don’t know whether it was civic duty, support of our trails mission, or professional discipline that compelled this bid, but I am very pleased and thankful that it happened.
Dan, Serenity and Josh provided a bid that detailed every step. They managed and coordinated all subcontractors during the Covid bounce back time when sub management was all but impossible – which speaks to the valued relationships they have with their subcontract teams. The result was a smooth, predictable process.
The quality and beauty of the work was more than I expected.

I have never dealt with a more competent
and cooperative general contractor.
“My Architectural firm designed the Lyric Theatre in Harbor Springs and Ironwood Construction Company was the general contractor for the project. I have been involved with over $1 billion dollars of construction in my lifetime and I can honestly say I have never dealt with a more competent and cooperative general contractor.”

It is without hesitation that I highly recommend
Ironwood Construction Company as the
general contractor for your project.
“Ironwood completed the new second story addition/remodeling to my Quick Care facility in Petoskey. Since my project was quite complex there were several areas of the project that were considered to be “design/build” in nature. I found that Ironwood handled the design/build portion of my project with ease. Ironwood’s vast knowledge and experience with building commercial buildings proved to be very helpful. Throughout the course of our construction project Ironwood showed a true desire to make sure that I was completely satisfied with every detail. It is without hesitation that I highly recommend Ironwood Construction Company as the general contractor for your project.”

You and your staff were terrific to deal with.
“Debbie and I want to thank you for building a wonderful residence for us at The Shores on Crooked Lake. You and your staff were terrific to deal with. The construction stage went smoothly and the unit was completed on-time. The finished unit exceeded our expectations in quality and beauty. Your tradesmen couldn’t have been more helpful or talented. Now we can begin to create great memories for our children and grandchildren… Dan, thanks again for making the experience so pleasurable.”

Their quality, professionalism and ability to meet and exceed our accelerated schedule was impressive.
“Our competitively bid project included a very accelerated 4 month construction schedule to meet our needs. I was very pleased when Ironwood handed us the keys to the building in only 98 days. Their quality, professionalism and ability to meet and exceed our accelerated schedule was impressive. I would speak volumes for Ironwood’s ability to “get it done” and get it done right.”
