There's Nothing Cavalier About Cavalier!

Finding a contractor – one you can trust – can be a scary task. There are so many horror stories, and considering relatively large sums of money are involved, the thought of trusting one’s home and that large sum of money to a stranger can be enough to make someone opt to live with the status quo.
When it came time to find a contractor for my daughter (she asked me to do so to help expedite the process) after she took the plunge and bought a condo, I was only too happy to lend a hand.
Sharon (accent on the 2d syllable), the owner of Cavalier Builders, was the first of five contractors to whom I talked on the telephone, and right away I could tell he would be an easy-going individual with whom to do business. I explained (roughly) what my daughter wanted done – and he did not shy away from the array of jobs that she was requesting. They ranged from painting to carpentry to electrical to even intensive cleaning of the bath/shower grout and resealing the tiles. Not only did his can-do attitude impress me, but so, too, did his professionalism, easy-going personality and consideration for a client’s wishes. I found it very easy to talk to him – and that is a very important trait to exist between contractor and client.
Cavalier is a family business, and it became evident that everyone associated with the company (a) enjoys working there, (b) wants to be there for the client, and (c) is genuinely kind. Who wouldn’t want to hire a contractor who has such an outstanding work ethic?!
Sharon lived up to the impression I got over the phone when I met with him that first time. In person, I found him to be just as professional and easy-going as I did on the phone.
While there were a myriad of specialists working on my daughter’s condo – all whose expertise and diligence my daughter and I appreciated – it really was Fernando and Bernardo who did the brunt of the work. They did OUTSTANDING work to turn the condo into what my daughter wanted it to look like before she moved in. Truly – they treated their work like they were working on their own homes, giving each task the care and consideration it deserved – and they cleaned up after themselves at the end of each work day – even though no one was living in the condo at the time!
As often is the case once work on one’s home begins, additional tasks are added to the contract, and such was the case with what my daughter decided once Cavalier Builders began working on her condo. Did Sharon balk at the extra requests? No! Did he complain that he had to stay on schedule so he could send his crew on to the next job by such-and-such a date? No! Did he make us feel rushed or as if we were not his most important client? No! Sharon took each additional task in stride – which says a great deal about what an exceptional contractor he is! :-)
When all was said and done, and the work was complete, my daughter’s condo looked lovely! Who do we have to thank for that? Cavalier Builders! Their work – exceptional! The ease of working with them – exceptional! Has my daughter found a contractor on whom she can depend and to call upon for future remodeling projects (she already has begun compiling a list!)? A resounding YES! It was my ultimate goal to find a contractor on whom she could rely – like she knows her dad and I have here in Wisconsin – and I succeeded. :-)
There you go, Prospective Cavalier Clients. Sometimes one wants to keep a gem like Cavalier all to oneself – but that really would be a disservice to Cavalier and to all those clients who would benefit from their service. Exceptional truly seems an understatement when choosing an adjective to describe Cavalier Builders. They really are a cut above the crowd of contractors out there. There is a reason why so many of their clients keep coming back when they want something more done to their homes. They’re great! You won’t be disappointed.
