What our homeowners are saying…

“When we needed to finish our basement, it was a no brainer who to call! We have loved the house Rick built for us and now we love the finish of the basement! We had zero issues – everything ran timely and with care and attention. Rick is genuinely a nice guy – conscientious and high integrity. The sub-contractors were good, too, and spoke highly of Rick. Most of them have worked with Madden Construction for years – that tells you a lot right there! Highly recommend!!!”
Bill and Lynne Howard

“It has been a pleasure to work with Madden Construction on our new home from the very beginning. They met with us on a prompt and timely matter. All of our questions were answered in detail and to our satisfaction by Todd Madden. It was like clock work when the house was being built. They are very professional and on time. We are very pleased with all of the folks at Madden Construction. We highly recommend Madden Construction to anyone. Thank you again for a job well done.”
– Ken & Esta

“We recently had our entire kitchen remodeled by Madden Construction. The entire experience was the best remodel experience we have had to date. Todd did a wonderful job of explaining the process, deadlines, and timelines. Todd paid attention to all the small details and stayed on top of his sub contractors. The kitchen was completed within the timeframe we were told. We constantly receive compliments on our new kitchen and are very happy to tell friends about Madden Construction. Should we have another house project, we know who to call!”
– Rob & Lori M.

“Construction of the house is great! I would have Rick build another one for me.”
– Joan S.

“We interviewed several builders and were most impressed with Madden Construction’s stability (5th generation family owned and operated), ability to build an affordable home with quality materials and workmanship. We were also impressed by the positive comments regarding Madden Construction that we heard during our discussions with real estate, banking and contractor professionals. The service we received during the warranty period was prompt and professional. We are impressed with the contractors that Madden Construction has associated themselves with.
We love our Madden Construction home and we could not have picked a better construction partner. Rick’s patience, attention to detail and thoughtful suggestions throughout the process helped make this a great experience (and home 🙂 for us!”
– Lance and Una

“Your entire team is wonderful and easy to work with and I was very impressed by the quality of service that I received. Todd took the time to walk through a completed home so that I could ask questions about the building process and layout, Rick went through all of my options with me and gave me great advice on additions that I wanted included in my home, and everyone in the office were always so kind to me and really gave me a personalized experience I never expected.
It’s very evident that Madden Construction and Realty cares for its clients and the homes it builds. The construction is solid, very energy efficient, practical, at a cost that was very affordable, and in a great neighborhood. I was very impressed with how often Rick and Todd are at the worksites; it further emphasized their commitment to their clients and homes.
I’ve been thrilled to tell my friends and family of the experience I’ve had with Madden Construction and Realty and I’m so proud to live in a Madden home!”
– James C.

“Todd helped us through the planning process always making suggestions but really listening to what we wanted. I would have to say that the greatest thing your contractor can give you is courtesy, time, and respect and Todd was always sure to listen, and return phone calls and emails within a reasonable time. I whole heartedly would recommend Madden Construction to anyone interested in building a home.”
– Joshua & Angie S.

“Madden Construction made affording a new home a reality for me. I absolutely love the floor plan, the finishes and the quality craftsmanship that went into my home. The customer service I received after the sale was even more remarkable. Rick Madden is honest and fun to work with. The integrity of the company is apparent through the details of their work. I couldn’t be happier, am am very proud of my home.”
