    Company History

    The company was started by Robert McDonald in May of 2000 when he felt the need to provide higher quality service and products to the construction industry in Southeastern Wisconsin. The desire was to meet the challenging needs and high level of customer demands with Integrity, Superior Service and Unmatched Warranties. Based on the Southwestern corner of Milwaukee County in the City of Franklin, he formed Excel Custom Contractors, LLC. Excel Custom Contractors currently serves the entire Southeastern Wisconsin, Southern Wisconsin and Northern Illinois communities. We proudly searve Waukesha, Menomonee Falls, Brookfield, Franklin, Oak Creek, New Berlin, Pewaukee, Hartland, Lake Geneva and surrounding areas.

    It was with the idea of providing ‘custom’ized customer service, to meet the unique individual tastes and product performance goals of his customers. Today Excel Custom Contractors has grown into a mid-sized Residential and Commercial General Contracting and Remodeling Company that can handle any size project from the foundation to the roof. Excel Custom Contractors prides itself in doing the best job the right way the first time, this ensures our customers will get what they expect from both their product choices and quality construction installations.

    Since the Spring of 2009, Excel Custom Contractors has brought on a new addition to it’s ownership with James Lawrence Jr. of Oak Creek, Wisconsin. Jim has been working for Excel Custom Contractors for the previous five years as a Carpentar Foreman in which he ran many varying crews and has now become its Vice President and COO. Together with their combined expertise and knowledge of products and skillful installations Excel Custom Contractors is positioned to continue to grow and enhance its offerings to its every expanding customer base.

    Robert McDonald

    I’m a business entrepreneur, and I consider myself a visionary. I’m always looking to improve on the status quo, and build better projects. I look for more intuitive processes as well as ways to provide higher quality. My soft skills include thinking out of the box, creativity, and trouble-shooting. I see challenging projects as opportunities rather than obstacles. I highly value work well-done, so that means I’m often particular in how we build things. I strive to build things to last, and my ultimate goal is to see our customers experience complete satisfaction with our work.

    About Greg Schmitt

    After a decade producing events and a covid lockdown, I've seen a need for dependable Handymen in the San Diego Area. We have a group of amazingly talented Handymen who are solutions oriented and are people you wouldn't mind having do some work in your house. Go to www.hugehandymansd.com to book and appointment or get a quote.

    About Huge Handyman San Diego

    https://www.hugehandymansd.com/

    https://www.facebook.com/hugehandyman

    https://www.linkedin.com/in/hugehandymansd/

    We are a collective of experienced, reliable, and solutions-based handymen. San Diego is full of great handymen, but where do you find them? And how do you get them to show up when they say they will? After working on a smaller scale, we decided to solve this problem. We vet the handymen, guarantee their quality of work, and INSURE everyone under a California contractor’s license. Even better, we only do small to medium sized jobs so we don’t get committed to long projects and can meet your needs in a reasonable time frame (and price!). Our friendly staff will make you feel comfortable with us in your space, and most pets like us too!

    Guiding Principles

    Dependability: We are committed to being the reliable choice for all your handyman needs, ensuring that we show up when promised and deliver quality work every time.

    Communication: Open and transparent communication is at the heart of what we do. We keep you informed every step of the way, from project assessment to completion. If we deem a project is out of our wheel house, we have great referrals for you as well!

    Customer-Centric Approach: Your satisfaction is our priority. We tailor our services to meet your unique needs and strive to exceed your expectations with every project. Not every project goes as planned, but we will do whatever it takes for a 5 star experience.

    Mission Statement

    In an industry where unreliability is the norm, we stand as a beacon of dependability. Our unwavering commitment is to deliver not just quality work, but a service experience marked by reliability, trustworthiness, and a departure from the stereotypical 'flakey' handyman. We aim to be the reliable partner you can consistently count on for all your residential and commercial needs, providing a level of service that instills confidence and sets a new standard of excellence in the industry.

    About Jon Kludt

    After successfully building a family business over 15 years, my passion for building strong leadership teams began when I discovered the book Traction and the Entrepreneurial Operating System.

    By implementing EOS® in my company, I witnessed a remarkable shift. My employees aligned more with the company’s vision, executed tasks more consistently, and formed strong teams to run the company.

    Embracing EOS®, I achieved a pivotal milestone – stepping out of the day-to-day operations and empowering the leadership team to run the company. Now, as a Certified EOS Implementer®, I help frustrated business owners take control. My approach involves simplifying, clarifying, and guiding clients to realize their visions through the implementation of EOS® in their organizations.

    The Entrepreneurial Operating System® (EOS®) is a powerful catalyst in my strategy. Tailored to extract the best from a team and deliver desired results for the business, EOS® offers a complete system equipped with simple tools, concepts, and a proven process to seamlessly implement into any organization.

    Why people like to do business with us.

    YOU KNOW YOU'RE HEARD.
    We listen to what you like and why you want it. If it's too costly, we'll offer you a couple of alternatives to choose from. We treat the design and build as a collaborative process.

    WE'VE GOT YOUR BACK.
    This may be the first renovation project you've gone through. But you can relax, as we'll be there with you every step of the way. We'll let you know what to expect and how much it will cost before any building begins.

    WE DON'T SELL, WE EDUCATE.
    We're never going to lay a heavy sales trip on you. Instead, we'll listen to you, and then offer some suggestions at a variety of price points. The final decision is up to you. No upselling and we are not change order driven.

    WE WORK WITH YOUR BUDGET.
    There aren't going to be any surprises at the end of your project. Sure, you might fall in love with a tile that is a little beyond your budget. But we'll let you know and even try to make up for it in other portions of the project.

    WE BELIEVE IN ONE-ON-ONE RELATIONSHIPS.
    You'll have the same architect, interior designer, and project manager for the duration of your project. That way, they know every detail of your project, and the reasons why certain choices were made. This provides you with a more proactive service and greater continuity. You are backed by Gregg Cantor and Rachel Cantor, the 3rd and 4th generations in the family business.

    YOU BENEFIT FROM OUR EXPERIENCE.
    Since we were established in 1975, we've learned a thing or two along the way. We can usually spot a situation before it becomes a costly problem, and we are always considerate of our clients budget.
