New build going up in Eau Claire. πŸ—οΈ

Post frame storage shed and garage. Three guys, one telehandler, and a whole lot of lumber that needs to end up exactly where it's supposed to be.

Posts are set. Girts are on. Trusses are up, and roof steel is going on today.

This is the stage where you find out whether a crew knows what they're doing. Nothing to hide behind yet β€” no walls, no roof, no siding covering up anybody's mistakes. Every post either landed right or it didn't.

Ours landed right. 😌

This is also the stage where I'm out there taking photos of Brett standing on top of a wall like it's a sidewalk, and everyone involved expects me to find that normal.

He also caught a board someone tossed up to him mid-build without really looking, which I have video of and will be sharing soon, because I'm still not over it.

That's a crew that's worked together long enough to know where everybody is before they get there. Genuinely impressive.

I'm still bringing it up later.

(Photos are from earlier last week β€” she's further along now.)

More coming as this one goes up. πŸ‘‡

Okay. It's time. πŸ—οΈ

We meant to post this a week ago. Then we built things instead. That's how it goes around here.

You've been guessing for weeks. Some of you were close. Some of you were creative. Some of you were so far off we genuinely admired the confidence.

One of you guessed our new house. We appreciated that deeply and are still emotionally recovering.

Here's the answer:

It's a cabin.

And she's coming together beautifully.

Interior framing is done. You can walk through it now and actually see the rooms β€” where the walls land, how the space flows, where the light comes in. That's always a moment on a build. It stops being a structure and starts being a place. It's also the exact point where every single person who visits stands in a closet and says "so is this the bathroom?"

It is not. It has never been. We've stopped explaining.

Windows are in. Exterior doors are hung. Roof steel is on β€” and that black metal against a Wisconsin sky is doing a lot of heavy lifting in these photos, we're not going to pretend otherwise.

She's completely dried in. Interior framing is done and she's ready for utilities to go in. Once that's wrapped up, we'll be back to insulate and install the exterior wall coverings.

And that covered porch? That's the part we keep staring at. Somebody is going to sit out there in a few months with a cold drink, looking at that field, with absolutely nowhere to be and nobody asking them anything. We're not jealous. We're fine.

That's the whole job, really. Somebody describes a dream out loud, and then a few guys in work boots go make it exist. Occasionally in 96 degree heat. Occasionally with a significant other hauling plywood and briefly complaining about bugs.

This is our biggest project of the year and every day it looks more like the thing our customer pictured when they first picked up the phone.

Thanks for guessing along with us. And to everyone who was absolutely locked in on machine shed β€” we respect the commitment. Better luck next time. πŸ˜„

(These photos are from about a week back β€” she's further along than this now. We'll get you caught up.)

Still plenty left to do. We'll keep showing you. πŸ‘‡

A message we got today β€” and why it means more to us than you'd think. πŸ“±

Back in January, Brett brought me on to overhaul this business.

Not the building side. He had that handled. He's been doing quality work for years and that part was never in question. What we needed was everything else β€” the systems, the website, the contracts, the estimating process, the way we present ourselves. The stuff that turns a guy who builds well into an actual company.

So before we changed a single thing, we did our homework.

We sat down and read through contractor reviews across Google. Not ours β€” everyone's. Dozens of them. We wanted to know what people were actually upset about when a build went wrong.

Here's what we expected to find: complaints about workmanship. Shoddy framing. Messy job sites. Corners cut.

Here's what we actually found:

Communication.

Over and over and over. Not "they did bad work." It was "they stopped answering my calls." "I didn't know what was happening for two weeks." "Nobody told me the materials were delayed." "I had to chase them down for an update."

People weren't angry about the building. They were angry about being left in the dark.

That changed everything about how we built this company.

So when we did the overhaul β€” the website, the slogan, the contracts, the estimating standards, all of it β€” communication wasn't an afterthought. It was the foundation. It's the thing I said from day one had to be non-negotiable.

Here's what that actually looks like:

πŸ“ž You get a response. Not eventually. Promptly.

πŸ“‹ You get walked through every stage β€” inquiry, estimate, contract, build, completion.

πŸ—οΈ You know what's happening on your project and when.

βœ… And when the job is done, we check back in. Not to sell you something. To make sure it's everything you wanted and there's nothing that needs fixing.

That last one matters more than people realize. Plenty of contractors disappear the second the check clears. We'd rather stick around and make sure you're actually happy.

Quality building comes first. Always. That will never change.

But communication is a very, very close second.

So when a customer takes the time to send us a message like this one β€” thanking us for the communication and for answering their questions β€” that's not a small thing to us. That's the entire thing. That's what we built this company around.

Thank you for noticing. It means we're doing it right. πŸ—οΈ

Mondovi Metal sponsored the Serum Family Farms team at the Buffalo County Fair softball tournament this weekend β€” and Brett played in it. πŸ₯Ž

Sixteen teams. One long Saturday.

Games at 9am, 1pm, 5pm, and 11pm.

Yes. Eleven. PM. As in, the last game started when most reasonable adults were already asleep. Brett is 100% going to feel that on Monday and we all know it.

Did we win? We did not.

Was Brett good? Actually yes β€” genuinely solid out there. Were all four games equally impressive? We're going to say that some games were better than others and leave it right there. πŸ˜„

But here's the thing about a day like this. Sixteen teams showed up. The fairgrounds were packed. People came out for their neighbors, their friends, and their county. That's what makes small town Wisconsin what it is, and we're proud we got to be a small part of it.

Next year, we're coming back with a real plan. Team name. Jerseys β€” or at minimum, t-shirts. Possibly a strategy that involves not playing a game at 11pm, but no promises.

Thanks to everyone who came out, played hard, and made it a great weekend. Same time next year. βšΎπŸ—οΈ

We need to take a minute for this. πŸ™

The reviews have been coming in on Google lately and honestly β€” we're a little overwhelmed. In the best way. We may or may not have read a few of them out loud to the kids...they were not impressed, but we were!

Customers writing paragraphs about their experience. A fellow local business taking the time to leave us five stars. People mentioning the things we work hardest at β€” communication, showing up on time, leaving job sites clean, following up after the job is done to make sure everything is right.

You don't always know if people notice that stuff. Turns out they do. They notice everything. Noted. No pressure or anything. πŸ˜…

Here's what we want you to know about what these reviews actually do for a business like ours:

When you leave a Google review for a small business, you are directly helping that business get found. Every review helps us show up when someone in western Wisconsin searches for a contractor. We genuinely credit a piece of our recent growth to the customers who took five minutes to write about their experience. That's not an exaggeration. It matters that much. It matters more than our marketing budget β€” which, granted, is mostly just Liz and a phone. But still.

And to be clear β€” we're not just here for the five stars. We are always open to honest feedback, criticism, and advice. It's how we get better. If we ever fall short on something, reach out to us directly β€” call, text, email, carrier pigeon, whatever works. We want the chance to make it right, and we will. That's a promise.

But today β€” today we're just grateful.

To every customer who has taken the time to leave us a review: thank you. To everyone who has trusted us with a project: thank you. To this community that keeps showing up for us: thank you.

If we've done work for you and you haven't left a review yet, it would mean the world to us. Five minutes of your time makes a real difference for a small business like ours. ⭐

We'll keep earning it. πŸ—οΈ

We're growing. πŸ‘·β€β™‚οΈ

Here's a problem we didn't expect to have this soon: our schedule is filling up faster than we ever could have anticipated.

That's a good problem. A great problem, honestly. But it's still a problem β€” because the last thing we want to do is start turning good projects away or making customers wait until next year.

So instead, we're making moves.

We are looking for 2-3 experienced, reliable subcontractors to work alongside Brett putting up buildings across western Wisconsin.

What we're looking for:

πŸ”¨ Real construction experience β€” post-frame experience is a bonus, but solid framing and building skills are what matter

πŸ”¨ Reliable. Shows up when you say you will. That alone puts you ahead of half the industry.

πŸ”¨ Takes pride in the work. We have a reputation for doing things right and everyone on our sites carries that.

What you get: steady work with a growing company, a crew that actually enjoys the job, and β€” based on recent reports β€” a job site soundtrack heavy on Shania Twain. We consider that a perk. 🎢

If you're interested or know someone who would be, call Brett directly at 715-530-0212.

And if you know a good sub, tag them below. Help us find our people. πŸ‘‡

"Do you offer financing?"

We hear this question a lot. And for the longest time, our honest answer was "we wish."

Here's the thing about mid-sized projects β€” your pole sheds, your garages, your metal roofs, your re-roofs. They sit in this weird financial middle ground. They're bigger than a credit card. They're smaller than anything a bank writes a construction loan for. So people end up in one of three camps: pay cash, put the project off another year, or go with whichever big national contractor can hand them a monthly payment on the spot.

We've watched good people put off projects they genuinely needed because of that gap. And in the past few weeks alone, we had multiple customers ask us about financing β€” one of whom mentioned another contractor was offering it.

That was the push we needed.

Now β€” we could have signed up with some national financing company. The kind with a 1-800 number, a chatbot, and a customer service department in a different time zone. That's what most contractors do.

That's not what we did.

We reached out to Chris Heike at Alliance Bank. Right here in Mondovi. Five minutes from our shop.

Chris has been in our corner since early on β€” every question answered, every time, usually the same day. When we brought this idea to him, his response came back within hours. Yes, he does loans for exactly these kinds of projects. Yes, he's open to working with our customers. Yes, let's make it happen.

That's what banking with a local looks like. That's what we want for our customers.

So here it is, official: if you've been putting off a building, a roof, a garage, or a repair because the upfront cost was the thing standing in your way β€” that barrier just got a lot smaller. Call Chris, tell him Mondovi Metal sent you, and he'll walk you through your options. No chatbots. No hold music. Just a guy at a desk in Mondovi who picks up his phone.

πŸ“ž Chris Heike β€” Loan Officer, Alliance Bank
☎️ (715) 926-4128
πŸ“ 245 S Eau Claire St, Mondovi, WI

We'll handle the build. Chris will handle the rest. πŸ—οΈ

Now β€” genuine question for the comments: what's the project you've been putting off? We're curious what western Wisconsin has been dreaming about. πŸ‘‡

07/22/2026

Let's talk about what running a small business actually looks like. Not the highlight reel. The full thing. πŸ—οΈ

It looks like answering a customer email about a quote while baking banana bread with five kids in the kitchen, each of whom has a critical update that cannot wait. It looks like taking a supplier call at the park while yelling "DO NOT THROW THE SAND" at no one in particular and everyone all at once, and then trying to resume the conversation like that didn't just happen.

It looks like attempting to complete an estimate while fielding questions. So many questions. Questions like "what's for lunch" and "can I have a snack" and "why is the sky blue" and one that I genuinely could not answer because I'm not sure anyone on earth could.

It looks like starting a thought at 9am and finishing it at 9pm. If you're lucky.

Meanwhile, Brett is on a roof. Thirty feet in the air. Setting trusses in 96 degree heat. And somehow also on the phone with a customer, answering questions, giving advice, being completely calm and professional β€” while doing something that would make most people need a moment to sit down and collect themselves just to watch. He doesn't miss a beat. He never misses a beat. That part still gets us. πŸ˜„

It looks like 7 or 8 o'clock rolls around, the kids are finally in bed, and that's when the actual workday begins. Emails. Estimates. Supplier follow-ups. Scheduling. Contracts. Social media. All of it. From the couch. In the quiet. For two to three hours. Every night. To get through what should have taken one day but somehow took three.

It feels like you are always one step behind and running full speed to catch up to a finish line that keeps moving.

And here's the thing β€” we wouldn't trade it. Not for a second.

We are building something. A real business. From the ground up. In a small town in western Wisconsin, with five kids underfoot and a phone that never stops ringing and a to-do list that honestly might be sentient at this point.

We are living the American dream. It just turns out the American dream involves a lot less sleep and a lot more banana bread than the brochure suggested. πŸ˜„

To every customer, every follower, every person who has shared our posts or sent us a message or trusted us with their project β€” thank you. Genuinely. You are the reason we keep going at 10pm when we'd really rather not. πŸ™πŸ—οΈ

A note to anyone waiting on an estimate from us. πŸ“‹

We want to be upfront with you β€” we are currently experiencing delays in receiving material pricing back from one of our suppliers. This has been going on for a few weeks and it is directly affecting our ability to get estimates out to you in a timely fashion. That is not okay with us and we want you to know we are actively working to resolve it.

If you have been waiting on a number from us, please know it is not for lack of effort on our end. We are following up, we are pushing, and we are not forgetting about you.

We have a couple of options we are exploring to get things moving faster and we hope to have this sorted out very soon.

If you are waiting on an estimate and want an update on where things stand, please reach out to us at [email protected] and Liz will get back to you promptly.

We appreciate your patience more than you know. We are not a company that takes your time for granted. πŸ—οΈ
