"We have been very pleased with the restoration of our home after a fire caused extensive damage. The planning, workmanship and follow up on details by Magee Construction was first class! We have received numerous compliments on the finished product."

-Ken and Beth Schuler

"We were very satisfied with Magee Construction. From the start of the demolition of the foundation, to the interior finishing work, all Magee employees and sub-contractors were very professional and courteous. We also appreciated how Wayne Magee went out of his way to be sure everything was going as planned with the project. Even when he was out of state, he made long distance calls to us, to ask us if we had any concerns or questions. His project manager was readily available to take care of any minor problems that came up. Wayne was also very instrumental in seeing that the sub-contractors fulfilled their obligations in a timely manner.

We would definitely call Magee Construction in the future for any building project and we would also highly recommend Magee Construction to anyone who is considering any kind of a remodeling or construction project."

-Richard and Fran Beal

"On May 25, 2008, we were one of the victims of the E5 tornado that went through the Dunkerton area. Our home and property suffered minor damage compared to our neighbors. We were still at a loss as to what we were going to do. The next morning we were looking over the damage and Wayne drove in. Although he didn’t expect to see anything left, he quickly surveyed the damage and reassured us about getting everything fixed and repaired. He told us he represented our insurance company as a storm damage contractor. Within a week his large shingle crew came and completely shingled our house and two garages in just over a day. After that everything else was quickly repaired. What a great friend, business owner and contractor Wayne is. He always makes sure his customers are completely happy and satisfied. Thanks, Wayne, and congratulations on being the best!"

-Jim and Sandra Clark

"When we decided to update our basement, we knew we would have Magee Construction help us out again. Deb was great to work with and she also worked well with our interior designer. We love our basement – they were able to utilize all the space and incorporate our ideas plus things we never would have thought to include."

-Kim and Rita Borrett

"When I first met Wayne Magee more than 15 years ago I quickly realized I had met ‘the’ person I was looking for to help with a series of repair, tear-down, re-build, add-on and restore projects. His ability and willingness to really listen, along with his creative ability to take disparate and half-formed ideas and come up with pragmatic, high-quality results was (and is) very impressive.

So I stay with Magee Construction! Over the years numerous projects, both large and small, have been completed successfully by teams of well-qualified craftsmen. To name 2 or 3, David Holien amazed me with his knowledge, speed, preciseness and follow-thru after a fire destroyed a garage and damaged a house. Darin Seeger has my great appreciation for his outstanding carpentry skill and his patience in making sure all his work, whether simple or very intricate, is done ‘just right’. And Deb Waterman demonstrated that not only could she supervise construction projects, but that she also could (and did) create special and intricate design features to tie new construction seamlessly into the whole home restoration project."

-Audrey Smith

"We so enjoyed working with the professionals at Magee Construction on our backyard renovation! They were willing to listen to our ideas but added their professional advice when their experience told them we would be happier with another option. Their design suggestions combined with our desires created an inviting and functional outdoor space for entertaining that we will enjoy for years to come.

The expertise, service and workmanship provided by the entire Magee team are exceptional and from start to finish we were in very capable hands. From our project supervisor to the many sub contractors who worked on our project, all were intent on making our project a total success. They routinely went above and beyond to ensure our timelines were met and the quality of their work was superb. We've received rave reviews on our backyard from friends and family and we're very proud to say the project was done by Magee Construction!"

-Bob and Susie Heaton

"We had heard so many nightmares about kitchen renovations, but to be honest, the folks at Magee made this experience as painless as possible from ripping out the old kitchen to putting all the final touches on the new! In fact, at times, getting our kitchen renovated was even FUN!

We never worried that things wouldn't turn out right. Our project manager always let us know that if something wasn't right, they would work with us until it was exactly how we wanted it. That kind of customer service really instilled confidence in us from the very beginning!

We loved the workmanship ... At one point in the process we could not find the right trim to go around our windows, and so the lead carpenter came into the older part of our home and found a way to match the trim in the new kitchen to the 100-year old trim in the rest of the house! Beautiful!

We would recommend Magee to everyone we know, with complete confidence that our friends would end up as happy as we are with our project!

In the end, we would call everyone we worked with at Magee ... friends. Now, that's a great kitchen renovation!!"

-Chuck and Alice Shirey

"Mark and I were completely devastated when fire destroyed our home. Our insurance adjuster put us in touch with Magee Construction. They showed us a plan to reconstruct our home, worked with us to incorporate our ideas, and gave us helpful ideas along the way. The house quickly changed from a disaster to a beautiful, well-constructed home. The quality of their workmanship is superior! We couldn’t be more pleased with our decision to have Magee Construction rebuild our home."

Our Sincerest Thanks,
-Cathy Rollins

"Being in the construction business ourselves, we had very high expectations for quality and performance. We are pleased to say Magee far exceeded our expectations. The whole experience of our 10-month major remodel project was a great time in our lives. We both enjoyed the process very much.

The Magee Team was professional and skilled at what they do. Wayne Magee is one of the finest people we’ve had the privilege to know. The man has the patience of Job – it’s no wonder his team is first class!"

-Bob and Jackie Buckley

"The major kitchen remodel and addition that we recently undertook with Magee was handled very professionally from the start to finish. The Project Manager was totally committed to making certain the project was completed to our total satisfaction from start to finish. The other employees that worked on our project were very professional and accommodating to our needs during the project. Several of our neighbors and friends mentioned that they have never seen a work site that was kept as clean as ours!

We would recommend Magee Construction to all our friends and neighbors."

-Truman and Janetta Stone

"We remodeled our kitchen in 2005 and are very happy with the work Magee Construction completed. They completed the job on a timely manner, the workers were a joy to work with, and most importantly, they worried about our needs and wants. While doing the remodeling they kept us informed of any additions or subtractions so we knew exactly what the cost was going to be, so there were no surprises. We love our kitchen and are pleased we had Magee Construction do the job."

-Jeanette J. Grady

"We have utilized Magee Construction for at least three major projects and have been very pleased with the attention to detail, ability and desire to make changes at our request and the finished project."

-David and Stephanie LeCompte

"It was a pleasure to work with the Magee Construction Team. We appreciated their attention to detail and their commitment to excellence. With careful planning and creativity they helped us maintain the integrity of our historical home."

-George and Gail Thornton

"The restaurant industry is one of the most competitive in the Cedar Valley. Gary’s Restaurant needed to update our dining atmosphere to remain in the game. Being a small business I knew we had to get the most impact from the limited budget and time we had to work with. My next decision was the easiest 'Magee Construction'. In just eight days a 1970’s café was transformed into a 2006 restaurant. Wayne Magee’s desire to ensure our continued success is evident in the finished product. Easy to work with, done right, done on time – it has to be Magee!"

-Gary Shoemaker
Gary’s Restaurant

"The unthinkable happened to our family at 11:00 AM on November 8, 2005. At 2:00 the same day the unbelievable happened; an entire team of professionals from Magee’s were at our home. From the neighbors’ perspective all they did was put some plywood in place; for my wife and I they put our world on the road to recovery.

By 5:00 PM, we had a starting plan and at 8:00 AM the next day there was a crew working in and around our home. Without a doubt, my wife and I were devastated by our fire loss. With the help we got on day one from Wayne Magee and his team, we knew we were not defeated.

From design, to tear-out and rebuilding, they have been great to work with. It really makes you feel good when the Fire Marshall and the insurance adjuster both tell you, 'You could not be in better hands.' They were right."

-Dennis E Clark

"Magees did a great job with our house remodel. From design to carpentry, they had the people to do what our job required. They could be flexible with the size of the work crew - assigning one or two people to install cabinets, but bringing in a crew of 9 when our roof with custom-cut angles had to be raised a few hours ahead of a thunderstorm. They were considerate of our budget and schedule. They knew I didn’t want to be left over the weekend without a sink."

-Judith Benson

"We have been very pleased with our choice of Magee Construction Co. as general contractor for construction of our new home. The bidding process was very detailed and thorough and we were kept informed of expenses throughout construction. We made extensive use of Magee's in-house design team and have been impressed with their knowledge and the wealth of ideas that were presented. The quality of the work by their carpenters was excellent, and the outside subcontractors were carefully selected. Follow up after completion of our house has been superb, with timely attention to minor corrections. The experience and professionalism of the entire staff has made Magee Construction's reputation for quality and service well deserved."

-Dietrich and Susan Gerhardt

"We had a bathroom that needed major remodeling. We talked to many friends concerning our plans. The Company name for doing the work most frequently mentioned was Magee Construction. Two factors that were important to us were one, excellent work, and two, the project completed quickly.

We are delighted to say that our wishes were met by the Magee Construction Team. Not only did they complete everything to our satisfaction quickly, but they were friendly people while in our house. Not only was the remodeling finished on time to meet our needs, but their follow-up was outstanding. We would definitely consider Magee for our future projects."

-Michael L. Sheeley

"We are repeat customers of Magee Construction. We selected Magee for our 1995 remodeling based on recommendations from a friend. We converted a summer porch to a dining room, installed new windows, installed siding, and renovated the entire roof. We were extremely satisfied with their expertise, quality, and work schedule. In 2002 we went back to Magee Construction to do another major remodeling project of adding a family room and attached double garage. We have really appreciated their effort to pick up the work area and keep things orderly. We have received many compliments on the appearance and quality of both remodeling projects. We highly recommend Magee Construction to anyone considering a remodeling project."

-Gary Stratton & Maxine B. Stratton

"We were very satisfied with the work your crew did the past couple of weeks. They were very understanding with our need to continue operations while the work was being done.

Everyone put forth great effort to plan ahead for this project and keep us fully informed."

-Steve Christoph, Superior Welding

"We've used Magee Construction for several significant business and personal projects because of the consistent quality of their work! Dependability is a plus!"

-Sandra L. Rada-Aleff

"Our new entrance is beautiful. Thanks to Oran for making the front of our home something to be proud of. Great job on the stone work. The carpenters were courteous and easy to work with. They listened to our ideas. We especially like the fireplace surround they built.

I enjoyed working with Kari. She's a very pleasant and organized person. She contacted me ahead of time with each decision and was helpful in making them.

Wayne listened patiently to our many phone calls and assured us that everything would be done according to our wishes. He had many good ideas.

Thanks for a job well done. We love it."

-Helen Kuennen & Larry Kuennen

"We had some ideas that we wanted for our remodeling project, but Wayne had so many good suggestions and ideas to make the house turn out so much better!! We trusted his experience and good reputation that he would help us make the right decisions. Our house had no curb-side appeal and now our home is something we are very proud of - both inside and out!"

-Rita & Kim Borrett

"Your people did a fine job on my house and driveway. I was very pleased with the end result.

I would recommend your people for any new home or rebuilding. Thanks again for the fine job.

I liked the kind friendly people who work for you."

-Laverne Thielen

"When looking for a company for remodeling at both my home and business, I made my decision based on 3 things

(1) Quality
(2) Turn key capabilities
(3) Cost

We chose Magee and are very happy we did. It reminds me of a quote from Coach Bill Parcells, 'You lose with potential. You win with performance.' With Magee Construction we won with performance."

-Dennis Clark

Dear Wayne,

I'm writing to you today to express my and my family's sincere appreciation for the great job that was done on my mother's house in Gilbertville. Everyone that was sent to the site did a truly outstanding job.

Denny and Darin were a great team, and were able to do all the things I kept coming up with, and they never complained, at least not to me. They are gifted carpenters and craftsmen, and fantastic representatives of your Company. DO NOT LET THEM GET AWAY!!

That brings us to David Holien. He came to Mom's house on the day of the fire and gave us a boost of confidence that was sorely needed. His compassion for Mom's situation never waned, and it was apparent to us that he really cared that Mom would have her house back, in better shape than it was before. He called Mom "Mom" from the first day and that helped her feel at ease with him. His sense of humor...well let's just say it grows on ya, O.K.? Actually, I can't imagine finding a better guy to put in charge of this project. Yours is a better Company with him working there, I'm sure you know that but it never hurts to hear it from someone else. Before the fire I had three brothers, I feel like I have four now, and that's not an easy thing to accomplish when your Mom is 76 years old!!

In closing, I'd like to express a heartfelt "Thank-You" to you and everyone involved. It was a great experience working with your Company at a very difficult time. THANK YOU!!

-Margaret Klein and Family

"I have worked with Magee Construction on several projects of various size and in all cases they met our schedule and were very responsive to our needs."

-John M. Mirchich, University of Northern Iowa

Dear Magee Construction,

We want to take this opportunity to thank you for making “our dream come true” possible. This time last year we were just thinking about what might be possible, but we knew we had to do something. We live in a two-story farmhouse type home and had a portion of roof that had to be replaced. We had called several contractors to help “patch” it previously - some came, and some didn’t - to give an estimate on repairs. When we called you, you were very professional and completed the “patch’ in a timely fashion at the cost quoted. As time went on we knew that patching was no longer adequate and that something else had to be done. Our choice for the project seemed obvious – Magee Construction.

For the sixteen years that we have lived in our home, we always wanted to remodel to add a mudroom off the kitchen area as well as a laundry room, bathroom, and attach a garage. We met with Tom Lown and gave him our “dreams”. That was the first of several planning meetings where computer generated plans were viewed, changes implemented, and designs finalized. We appreciated Tom’s wisdom in contracting to make a successful project and his always looking out for us to help keep costs down. The construction crew was fabulous as well. Always polite and courteous, diligently working to make every detail just right. We still rave about how clean the site was every evening as the crew left. (We had heard nightmares about others’ remodeling experiences – how dirty and torn up their homes were the entire time.) The work was done on schedule as much as possible and to our pleasant surprise even a bit under budget. We even received a floral arrangement from Magee’s the day after we brought home our new baby!

We are pleased with every inch of the home improvements. We would recommend Magee Construction to anyone considering building or making improvements. Our “dream” has been even better than we had imagined. Thank you to everyone who had a part in our project. We truly appreciate you!

Very sincerely,

-Rick and Phyllis Oesterling

"After fire destroyed our home we were fortunate to have the Magee Construction team rebuild for us.

They helped make a difficult time much easier for us. They were very personable, as well as, dedicated to quality and detail. We are proud to have a “Magee built” home."

-Mike and Lonnie Jensen

"This note is in the form of a Big Thank You to Magee Construction Co. for jobs well done at our house.

1. We had a 2 ½ stall garage built (we were very satisfied).
2. Had our bathroom completely remodeled and could not believe the difference it made.
3. We had a new 16 x 30 deck built with a roof/ceiling that we love and through all of this the crew maintained a very clean working area and cleaned up before they took off for the day.

This family has been very satisfied with all the work that Magee Construction Company has done. Yes, we will call them again."

-Harry D. Sullivan
