I had seen two other houses built by them and the home owners loved them. Bongers HomeBuilders was highly recommended.

You will never work with a builder with more integrity than Ray. He is very honest and ethical in everything he does and we had great peace of mind knowing that we could trust him completely. His work is excellent and we are very happy with our end result.

We would select Bongers Builder Group if we had to choose again. A critical factor is that Ray is a man of integrity who does what he says. We didn't ever get the feeling that he was trying to cut corners or take advantage of us.
