Golden Rule just finished our addition to the house and it's awesome. We were amazed at the speed of the project (3 months!). They took care of every request, big or small. Garry and Brian were very attentive and professional while also taking the time to get to know us as a family.
Response from the owner: Mrs. Ballard!Thank you so much for taking the time to give us such a wonderful review. It was a pleasure working with you and wish you many memories in your new space.
Victoria Makay
My family recently had the pleasure of working with Golden Rule Builders for the second time, and I couldn’t be more pleased with their exceptional service. Having worked with them previously, I knew they were a top-notch choice for our new project, and they didn’t disappoint! We initially used them for a home addition, and then a home renovation and we couldn’t be more in love with our new home.From start to finish, Golden Rule demonstrated incredible flexibility and maintained a stellar schedule on both of our projects. Their commitment to staying on track ensured a smooth and stress-free experience. A special shout-out to Tom, our onsite Project Manager, who was absolutely fantastic. Tom was not only super friendly but also took the time to listen and educate us, making sure we were well-informed and comfortable throughout the process.The support from the home office team was equally impressive. Dennis, Stephanie, and Cindy were instrumental in providing the assistance we needed their responsiveness and professionalism were greatly appreciated.Overall, I highly recommend Golden Rule for any design or construction needs. Their combination of flexibility, punctuality, and excellent customer service makes them stand out in the industry. I look forward to working with them again in the future!
Response from the owner: Victoria,Thank you so much for your kind words, allowing us to come back into your home and for the trust you put in GRB for your remodel. I will share this message with our team and look forward to working with you and the family again.
Pam White
Thank you Golden Rule Builders for our beautiful modern farmhouse kitchen. We are so happy we chose you for our kitchen renovation! You listened to what we wanted and you delivered 100 percent! A big shout out to Justin, Cindy, Stephanie, and the BEST (and kindest) hard working crew you'll ever have in Matt, John, and Nick! To everyone at Golden Rule Builders, thank you! It's perfect!
Response from the owner: Pam! Thank you so much for taking the time to give us a Review. Matt and the GRB Team really enjoyed this project and you did a great job with your selections. It turned out fantastic. Thank you for your trust in Golden Rule Builders.
Megan Haas
GRB has been a delight (not a word usually used during home renovations) to work with from start to finish. They are as dedicated to having the job done correctly and beautifully as I am. Sounds cheesy, but they bring you right into the family. Professional, committed and genuine. Already sign on for another project!
Response from the owner: Megan! We so appreciate your trust in us and your review and looking forward to completing another project for you and the family.
Liz
Golden Rule came to my rescue. I had a horrible first builder who did nothing right and cut every corner. Thankfully he quit and I found Golden Rule. They basically rebuilt my house and were wonderful to work with. I was very hands on and they rebuilt this house and turned it into a masterpiece. I absolutely love it now and would highly recommend them.
Response from the owner: Liz,Thank you for your Review. We're so appreciative in your trust and that we could help you through this journey, and for it to be an even better result for you. Happy New Year to you!
Duane Hostetler

Response from the owner: Duane,Thank you so much for your kind words. That means a lot to us. Best to you and your business.
Tim Porch
We were looking for a good quality contractor to help us with our remodel and Golden Rule Builders was the answer. First of all, Jeff Nolte came out and listened to our vision and his team came up with a plan. Cindy helped with designing and helping with selections and showed us what we can do. Production started on time and finished within the timeline.Our Lead was Matt McCarthy and he really made the process bearable. He listened to us and made changes as necessary. His assistant was John Mullins. He was professional and explained what was going on. Bottom line is that they exceeded our expectations. The quality and workmanship was world class. Also, their partners were professional as well.We are very satisfied with the outcome and look forward to other projects in the future. We would highly recommend Golden Rule Builders for your next project.
Response from the owner: Tim, we so appreciate your trust in us and the GRB Team. Your space is turned out amazing and the functionality of it makes life so much better. Happy to be part of this project for you and your wife. We look forward to serving you in the future.
Stevi Dorsey
Golden Rule did an amazing job on our basement renovation. We are so happy with the final result. I would recommend them to anyone. In fact I did before the job was even complete. Gold Rule Builders made the renovation a great experience.
Response from the owner: Thank you Stevi! So happy to hear this and really appreciate your willingness to share your experience with others.
Vic O
For over 20 years, I have been a client/customer of GRB. They have consistently delivered excellent results.We recently contracted with GRB to renovate our kitchen when a major water leak caused extensive damage. We couldn’t be happier with the final result, and it was delivered in record time. We knew from other home improvement projects that GRB has done for us their focus on quality would result in excellent workmanship, but this time their help with the kitchen design and product selection exceeded our expectations. We were really impressed with GRB’s design center where both Dennis and Cindy did their magic. They both provided excellent suggestions. Their input and advice was instrumental in creating the look, feel and functionality that made the finished product top notch. We were also impressed with Matt McCarthy, the project manager that GRB assigned. Matt kept the project moving and got us into our kitchen in record time. We were relieved to have our kitchen back after months of inconvenience caused by the water damage. Matt kept me in the loop each day with text messages and phone calls. If we had questions, he responded quickly. He was always polite and courteous to both my wife and me. During the build out, Matt and GRB’s carpenters offered suggestions along the way that really improved the final result. We found that just making small changes can make a big difference in the look and feel of the final result.Thank you GRB for another terrific project!
Response from the owner: We are truly honored to be part of the solution you needed! Your kitchen is beautiful and your selections show that. Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and for trusting GRB.
Kathy Howard
Golden Rule built my house 13 years ago and I couldn't have been more pleased. The quality of the work, the professionalism and their integrity was exceptional. For this reason I chose them to do some upgrading and remodeling and looking forward to working with them again.. The planning stage has been very successful.
Response from the owner: Thank you so much Kathy! We do appreciate your kind words and being able to work with you again. Honored that you have chosen GRB!

Don Sampson
Golden Rule Builders provided outstanding service from start to finish! It was very helpful to have "one-stop shopping" with in-house design help, architectural work, and construction. GRB was truly custom in that they took a floor plan we gave them and turned it into our home. They listened to our preferences, and tried to accommodate us in every way. We highly recommend GRB!
Response from the owner: Don, thank you so much for your kind words! We truly have loved working with you and Nancy on making your dream home come true. Such wonderful memories for us at GRB!
David Griffith
We had our kitchen remodeled from "builder grade" to Gourmet Kitchen. We contemplated it for 3 years working with GRB off and on until the plan came together perfectly. It included taking out an entire wall and putting in a hidden beam to open up the gathering space. This was 2009. Today, 2019, 10 years later, we are STILL so happy we remodeled with Golden Rule Builders. They are fantastic. If you're gonna do it, go ahead. Don't wait. You'll miss years of enjoyment. We're so glad we did. I must say.We continue to enjoy the Kitchen and we entertain large groups ~40+ people with great joy being had by all. Thanks, GRB, for 10 years of joy made possible by people like you. Still going strong.
Response from the owner: Hi David!Thank you so much for your kind words, we are so happy that you are still happy after all these years! It was a joy to work with you and hope we have the chance to help you again in the future.Kind Regards,Team GRB

Paradigm Solutions
Golden Rule did a great job of refurbishing our main floor powder room. New tile flooring, custom vanity cabinet, vessel sink, Kohler plumbing fixture and Toto toilet along with a new exhaust fan! Great people, ethical, clean, dependable - it's worth paying a little more to gain piece of mind and a job well done!
Response from the owner: Thank you for your kind rating and review, Dennis!
