Ron & Bonnie Konsela
We were very fortunate to be able to hire John Friedenfels as our contractor to build our 1200 sq. ft. slab home in 2022. John came up with a simple, open concept, easy to maintain design with two bedrooms, two baths and a large front porch and screened 12' x 12' back porch. A 930 sq. ft. attached 3 car garage with a long stall to store our Mustang convertible was also included in the design. John provided cost spreadsheets to keep us informed. He hired sub contractors that were absolutely wonderful and were like family to us. The quality and craftsmanship of our build was top notch. Our build was during the winter and we were in Florida and John kept us totally informed. He was a wealth of knowledge on every aspect of our build and incorporated our wants and needs. After completion of our build, he was always available for finishing touches and any questions. John not only did our build, he became our good friend who guided through the process to make it an easy process.

John built our house recently and did an exceptional job as our project manager (he acted as our general contractor). He was extremely attentive to our needs and was a fantastic communicator. When we needed to get ahold of John, he was there for us. He worked closely with us to stick to our budget and checked in regularly with any changes. He was extremely present at the build site and did a great job managing all the subcontractors. He chose excellent subs as well - the work completed was high quality. He also had several great design inputs that we ended up using in our home that we love.
Since we have been in our home, we have had no issues and have just been able to enjoy our beautiful house. When we heard horror stories of other people’s home building experiences, John gave us peace of mind and allowed us to enjoy the home building experience. Our home is beautiful and well built, and we appreciate John’s construction expertise and management skills that brought the whole project to a beautiful conclusion

We asked John to build a shed that matched our log home - he planned every inch of the shed and it turned out beyond our expectations. His craftsmanship and work ethic are exceptional. We loved it so much we asked him to build a matching dog house - another amazing job!
We also contracted John to finish our basement saloon and entertainment area. He amazed us with solutions for the ceiling to accommodate ducting and separate the TV area and bar area. He built the cabinets and saloon bar and we couldn't be happier with the results. His construction knowledge and skills helped us realize our vision for this unique space.
John turned our office space into an incredible library. Only John could figure out how to incorporate wall to ceiling bookshelves and fireplace into the octagon room. He is so creative with solutions for challenging spaces and the results are just stunning.
Last, John remodeled our laundry room - a small space but an incredible job! We love it!!

Friedenfels Builders is top notch. From the get-go John Friedenfels approach to this full remodel was organized, efficient, dependable and trustworthy. Communication was excellent. Every question was answered immediately, the budget was addressed consistently, and concerns were explained to much satisfaction. The coordination of all the trades kept the work flowing and all the tradesmen were highly skilled and courteous. The whole project exceeded my expectations, and I could not be happier in my little Sweet Home.

John Friedenfels was the contractor we hired to install a new bathroom on our home’s main floor. It was a pleasure to work with him in planning the project. He was attentive to the suggestions we made and always offered ideas on how we could make the project work in an efficient manner. He drew up the plan and had excellent workers to carry out the project. He also helped us choose the materials lthat would work and was able to schedule the project in a steady work schedule. John checked on the workers and project progress each day to be sure everything was being completed as we wanted. He always went the extra mile to make sure the project was going well and in an attractive way. John is very knowledgeable, creative, and cooperative.
