Dear Anders,
Thanks so very much for making this house building process so easy on me.
I really appreciate your
"can do" attitude and taking charge of all the details. I really like my new house and feel it
is safe and sound.

At our first meeting with Anders, we were impressed with his high quality of construction
and his ability to design a house which suited our exact needs. Anders is very attentive to
detail and creative in making each home unique. Our new home was completed on schedule,
within budget, and with the highest quality of craftsmanship. We highly recommend Anders
to anyone considering building a home.
--Joe and Chris S., Sundance Springs area
We selected Anders after interviewing numerous general contractors in the area. We
appreciated his forthrightness, honesty, and friendliness. For over a year we visited Anders every few
weeks, sitting at the computer with him designing and modifying our dream home. He exhibited great patience,
important since we had special view sheds, solar features, and other items where a foot here or there
really mattered to us.
Anders worked hard with us to incorporate three items critically important to us--energy efficiency (e.g.,
passive and active solar design, special wall insulation), health-friendly aspects (e.g., low and no VOC
paints), and environmentally-friendly features (e.g., fast rotations woods for molding and cabinets, cork
flooring, recycled carpet pad and roof insulation).
We made many decisions
focusing on these three areas and Anders helped along the way with
thoughtful conversations, supply of environmentally-friendly building references,
and his ability to help us constantly balance our desires against the budget.
The great thing was that we felt
like he was part of our team in creating what we wanted, instead of being disturbed like some builders would
have been when we continuously questioned and looked to modify materials and choices.
During construction we met Anders at the house almost daily, beginning with ground-breaking day. The project
flowed smoothly, even through the winter, and we ended up on time and on budget. The few problems that
occurred were quickly and smoothly handled by Anders--he took full responsibility
for the house. Several times he literally said, "If you're not happy, I'm not doing my job right."
We love our new home, so much, in fact that several times we have jokingly cursed Anders for building us
such a nice home that we never want to go out anymore! We now think of Anders and Marilyn not as our builders,
but as our friends, and that's about the best compliment possible.

When my brother, who is a contractor, told me he thought our house was well built, he confirmed
all my suspicions. Anders Lewendal has built us a house which is impressive to the trained eye as it
is to those who are merely looking for a wonderful place to live.
His attention to detail, from the
radiant heat in the master bathroom to the placement of the house, shows that Anders wants a
finished product which makes him and his subcontractors as proud to have been involved in the project
as we are to call it home.
In addition, Anders was terrific at working with us to add our personal touches to what began
as a spec home, and he stuck to his deadlines. Finally, Anders has gone out of his way to make
sure that every aspect of the house lives up to our expectations, even if that means calling
back subs to make changes that were not originally contemplated.
My family and I cannot thank Anders enough.
--Lisa R., Sundance Springs area
We would like to take this opportunity to express our appreciation for the superior way
in which Anders Lewendal Construction recently completed our home.
In all aspects his honesty,
integrity, and help were far above that which one usually receives from contractors especially when
we lived half way across the state.
We began planning our house nearly two years before breaking ground. Anders met with
us and very thoroughly explained his procedures. In turn he listened to all aspects our our plans
and the changes we wanted to make, and offered his recommendations as to easier ways to accomplish
things.
During this planning stage, he kept in touch with us continually...we also had numerous
face to face meetings. He went out of his way to insure that every item was thought of and that
processes were in place to take care of any changes.
We can only say that it has been a pleasure to have Anders for a contractor. His work has been
outstanding and we would recommend him for any size job. His follow-up has been thorough and he has
made sure that any problems encountered were fixed immediately. He is truly a professional and if we
ever needed to build another house he would be the one we would choose to do the job for us.
--Lawrence and Rebecca H., Churchhill, MT
Anders Lewendal was the general contractor we chose in building our house after interviewing
four prospective builders. We immediately felt comfortable with
Anders...his easy-going nature and
his business sense. We knew that Anders was a reputable builder and someone we could trust. Our
building project, which was somewhat unusual in our eyes, turned out beyond our expectations.
We began by spending evenings with Anders sitting at different locations on our hill envisioning
just the right placement for our home to make the most of our views. He helped us though the design
process as well, something for which he has a keen eye. We were included
through out the
entire building process in various levels of decision-making. Anders was very tuned into the fact that
we were focused on those special finishing touches and was careful to incorporate our ideas.
Anders does and outstanding job of tracking costs/expenses vs. the budget. We spent hours
with Anders at his computer going over numbers and other details. He kept us lined out making sure that
the multitude of choices were made in a timely fashion so that we stayed on schedule. Our house was
done on time, as promised.
We were also impressed with the fact that Anders has a wonderful reputation/rapport with all
the sub-contractors we worked with as well as the building material suppliers. The quality
craftsmanship and custom work by the subs is a direct reflection of Anders' integrity as a general
contractor.
Bottom line...from start to finish to ongoing follow-up...through all the stress in-between that one
goes through in the building of a new home...Anders guided us through "uncharted territory" with ease. We
are extremely proud of our home--a quality and style that will be timeless for years to come. We
couldn't be happier with the outcome.
--Scott and Theresa L., west side of Bridger Mountains
We thoroughly enjoyed working with Anders Lewendal. He listened to our ideas and
answered all our questions. This was our first experience building a home, and we found Anders to be
very helpful in keeping us on schedule for making decisions. His demeanor is pleasant, open, and
relaxed. His approach and creative ideas made the home-building experience easy and successful.
We couldn't be more pleased with the house. It's the style, functionality, and comfort we were
looking for with the added bonus of personalized features.
--Brian and Carol L., Sundance Springs area
