Testimonials
I met Jake Wenger in 2005. We had hired Wenger Construction to install fiber cement panel siding and sheet metal. By the completion of that job, I knew that Jake and Wenger Construction were going to grow and become one of the premier siding and roofing companies in Wisconsin. Their professionalism and “we can do” attitude are second to none.
Over the years Jake has taken this company to new heights. Whether you are considering a large or complex siding job, a steep or flat roof Wenger is the sure choice. They meet and exceed expectations.
Jake instills in his employees that they listen and take care of the contractor and owner that they are working for. If you task any of Jake’s employees to do something or help with something they don’t blink an eye? they step up and do whatever they can.
Wenger’s work and finished product are also second to none. They pay careful attention to all of the details that go into an assembly or a particular product. When they are complete you know it was done right and done well?you will not be back fixing it. Last year they completed a very touchy metal wall panel project. I was so impressed with Wenger’s work that I made certain to thank Jake and let him know I had never seen such a good job before. What could have been a disaster turned into a shining jewel that the owner loved at the hands of Wenger.
As long as I am in the construction industry, Jake and Wenger Construction will always be at the top of my list.
Sincerely,
Altius Building Company
Assuming the quality that we have experienced thus far continues through project completion we will most certainly write a favorable letter of recommendation. You guys are doing a great job! So far we’ve been impressed with the following:
The attitude of the roofers to work with us and other trades to get things done has been excellent
The care that the roofers have taken in placing our custom paver pattern was appreciated
The amount of time the siding foreman spent on layout of the materials was significant and is part of the reason the install is going so well
The willingness to point out Nichiha panels that were not perfect (not part of quote, to clarify the issue: manufacturer defect – Nichiha stood behind and ponied up) and to replace them was refreshing compared to some contractors that fight those types of situations
Jake,
I would like to thank you and your team for the great job installing the metal siding and fiber cement siding at the River House Apartments at 1785 -1795 N. Water Street in Milwaukee. The craftsmanship of your work is great, but what has made working with you and your crews exceptional is your commitment to making the entire project successful. With the tight working space around the buildings and the need to complete site work prior to winter, Lee and your onsite foreman Nick went above and beyond to work as a team with the other trades onsite. I look forward to working with you again!
Sincerely,
Paul Hackbarth

Dear Jake and company workers,
Our church roof and steeple are covered, you did it on time, and I wanted to write since last Fall to be sure to tell you what a good piece of work you did for our church. Every time the wind blows hard – quite a few time in the last week – and every time we have gotten a driving rain or heavy snow I have thought of the roof that is now on the church. I also was musing about it this morning as I walked across the grass between the school and the back of our parish house. I saw shreds of the coating that had been on the top of the former roof tiles and I remember going around to pick up those pieces each time after we had a wind of more than ten miles per hours.
The roof is on and it is excellent for many reasons:
You provided samples of the roofing material, having two conferences with our committee to be sure we could pick out the exact material we wanted
You provided samples for the color of the gutters/downspouts and offered advice on the color match for the roofing and paint that would be put on the steeple
You picked out the most economic way to reach the heights of our steeple and assured us that you would be in compliance with EPA standards and for this you listed your experience; (we were nervous because another roofer wanted to erect scaffolding and wet down all materials coming off the roof.)
You did a patient and careful work with the flashings at the base of the chimney and around the steeple base
You worked with both subcontractors, the gutters and downspout people and the steeple painters
You solved all of the wood repair problems as you got through with the roof and started the steeple repairs so that now there is a solid underlay at all points;
You stood behind you work and did not question our need to replace concrete that was broken by the heavy lift, although at least half was probably broken by the painters, and immediately found out the cost for replacement and offered a credit;
You got through with your job on time in the cold Fall weather, but your men did not rush to complete, but did the same careful work in finishing as they did at the start of this job.
You on-time finish let the parish begin with the interior renovation and finish before Christmas. We also had the opportunity to then invite Archbishop Dolan of the Milwaukee Archdiocese to come and bless our repaired church and improved interior, I am going to include a copy of the worship folder that we printed for that celebration on January 10th of this year. You were given credit in the folder for your good performance.
I also want to give you credit for leaving yourself open to calls for any problems that might have continued and for paying a visit to look at a pileup of ice in the gutters on the south side of the church. Probably nothing could have been done about that. You came.
If you ask me whether I and the parish are good references for your work, I would say, YES! Emphasize that and know that we will gladly be on you short or long list of references.
Thank you again for your very good work.
Wenger Construction took our home remodeling vision and with their attention to detail made it come to life. Their culture of customer service was apparent throughout the remodeling process. You could tell the workers cared about the quality of their work. I would describe it as old-school worth ethic. We have had so many compliments on the house. It feels like a brand new property.
Sincerely,
The Nielsen Family
