"Champion Garage Builders did a fabulous job! From tearing down the old garage, ripping out the old cracked concrete, pouring a new foundation, and building a new garage, they really had their act together! The construction workers were all very courteous, the project was completed ahead of schedule, and Chris kept me informed through the entire process! I've had contract work done on my property before, and I've got to say, I've had absolutely no worries with these guys! They really went the extra mile and made the whole thing simple for me. ...now, if they only remodeled bathrooms..."

"Chris,
A big thank you for all you've done to create a new garage on our property. From the minute we met you, I knew from your personality that you'd be easy and fun to work with. I myself work for a company that strives on customer service, and quality. Believe me, you have both nailed right on the head with your company. It's nice to see others take pride in what they do and make you feel like you've been friends forever!
Two of the best features about the whole process were:
We will be moving soon, and will need to add on to our garage in the future, believe me, you'll be the first we call.
Thanks again for being an outstanding worker!"

";Dear Chris,
My wife and I would like to thank you and your guys for the great job you did on our 3 car garage from how well it blends in with our home to how well-built it is to how well they cleaned up afterwards. It was nice that you contracted out the concrete that way I didn’t have to call 2 or 3 different people to do the work in that short amount of time. They came out one day and framed for the concrete and poured the next and a few weeks later they showed up one morning and had it all built by 12:00 p.m. I would tell anybody that was planning to build a garage of any size to check you out first. Dealing with you was trouble-free and you stopped out all 3 days to see that it was done the way we wanted.
Thank you very much!!!!!"

"Chris:
My wife and I want to thank you for making our third garage stall addition a very pleasant experience. You and your crew members are very proffessional in all aspects and made our new garage project one of the most painless ventures we have ever encountered.
One thing that was very important to us is the fact that you always kept us informed and updated on the progress of the job completion without placing the burden on us to call and check on things. I only wish other contractors we have used were as timely and considerate as you are.
It is not often nowdays when a person can really feel good about spending money and truly getting a good deal on what you pay for but in this case, that is just how we feel about our experience with Champion Garage Builders.
Feel free to have anyone call or stop by to see our new garage anytime.
Thanks for a really great job Chris!"

"Dear Chris,
I wanted to thank you for the work you did on my new 3-car garage at 208 Columbia Circle, Waterloo, IA. From the start to the finish you were always prompt, courteous, and professional. You came out the very same day I called you to discuss what I wanted done. I had your initial estimate within two days of that visit. It took longer for me to get bids from other garage builders.
I made a few adjustments to what I wanted and you had an update to me within 1-2 days. Once we agreed on the price and started the process, you and your crew went from demolition of my old garage to completion of the new garage within 2 weeks!!! I was amazed at how quickly things happened.
Throughout the whole process you were in constant communication with me so I knew what was happening and what the next steps were. Once the job was completed you followed up to make sure everything was okay and if I had any concerns.
I enjoy my new garage, the extra space, and value it brings to my property. I would recommend you to anyone looking to build a garage and want it done right.
If anyone would like to contact me, please give them my e-mail address"

"Thank you for the work that you did on my ’24 wide x 36’ long garage at 1606 56th Street, Des Moines, Iowa. The nice clean features, the height and space that I now have will add volumes to my overall enjoyment of my property. With the added skylights and additional service doors, I will be able to have a very nice wood working and metal fabricating shop/office/entertainment room all in one area.
You have stayed true to your bid, which I thank you for. Additional charges for services that were not on the bid, I appreciate being fare and honest. I also appreciate the speed and cleanliness of your crew’s work. Cleaning up after the garage was erected yesterday, a one day erection and roofing job, was very nice to come home to. I’m sure that my neighbors were also impressed and are looking forward to contacting you about their new garage, too.
I will enjoy the three skylights that were installed as a special request. Maybe you would consider adding them to your garage features in the future with other owners? I certainly would recommend it. My 12 foot wide shop will get some of the benefits from the west skylight and the remaining garage will certainly be warmed by the sun and cooled by the fresh air. I will enjoy those skylight windows.
Chris, I would guess that your building year has now begun a little bit earlier than usual this year. Here it is February and I do have a new garage in my back yard. If you are sending others to take a look at the finished job, send them over. I’m sure the garage will be something to talk about and consider for their homes, too. Big and bold is better, when the price is right and you are working with friendly competent workers.
Thank you, again, for all of your work and efforts."

"Chris: This note is to let you know the garage is great! Bring your camera and take some pictures of the best in the area. We finished painting the drywall yesterday and have had several compliments on how nice it looks; even two delivery guys liked the looks of the garage. What really impressed us was your honesty and integrity. When you said something would get done, it happened. It is rare today to find business people that Honor their word. With you, your word is gold. Again thanks."

"First things first, these guy's are true professionals. Chris was outstanding; always checking on the status of work being done and making sure we were satisfied with the job being done. Highly recommended by my wife and I.
P. S. The concrete work was far beyond expectations."

"The whole process of getting my garage done from start to finish was very professional and pleasant. Chris came and had coffee, took measurements and gave me all the details for building my garage. I was amazed at how fast the garage went up and the detail put into making everything right. Both building and cement crews were very nice and answered questions when I had them. All in all I recommend this company to any and everyone who need a garage."

"My experience with Champion Garage Builders couldn't have gone more smoothly. They not only gave me the lowest bid for our work, but arrived and finished on time; Something not all that common in today's construction business. The work was very well done. I would recommend Champion Garage Builders to anyone."

"My thoughts about my experience with Champion Garage Builders is total satisfaction. From the initial communication to the finished garage, I did not have one single complaint. The time frame to get my garage done before winter was small but your planning and attention to detail made it look easy! The quality of the concrete work and the garage itself is awesome! Everything that I was told would happen, did happen, right on time. I would highly recommend Champion Garage Builders to anyone that wants to have a quality garage built at an affordable price. I've had a ton of compliments about my garage and how nice it looks! Thank you Chris! Feel free to gibe my address and phone number to any prospective customers. If I ever need another garage built I'll make one phone call- 'Champion Garage Builders'. Thanks again Chris - I love my Garage!"

"I talked to him at the "Home Show," and he said he could do what we wanted. Everything was done in a timely manner. I knew the day they were going to start and finish. Their lead man really knew what he was doing. It's just what we wanted. Very professional, a lot of quality."

"During the late summer of last year, we decided to add a garage on our property. we contacted two builders and had a timely reply from one of them, Champion Garage Builders. Chris Howard, the owner, came by as scheduled to discuss our plans and give us an estimate.
Within 2-3 days we had his estimate and came to an agreement a few days after that. The foundation work was started as agreed, done by a courteous and professional crew. The building was completed on time and to our complete satisfaction.
We certainly have no reservations about recommending Champion Garage Builders for providing a good product at a fair price and in a timely manner."
