Bill likes bouncing ideas around in search of the right solution.
Bill was careful with our money.
Bill likes good coffee (in the morning) and tea (in the afternoon).
Keith Kachtick, porch percher: Bill Albrecht is more than a contractor. He's a veritable Dwelling Whisperer, creatively luring out of your home or office more design possibilities than you ever could have imagined. Whether working with you to design bookshelves or a new kitchen counter, an expanded bathroom or an Asian-styled screened porch, a modern work-station or a meditation niche in your studio, Bill's touch, care, and craftsmanship are genuinely zen-like. I cannot recommend him highly enough.
Sibby Barrett, donkey owner: Bill and I worked together on a little "donkey barn" project--nothing big, but we had some very specific needs that needed to be met. We had a general area in the corral that we felt the barn needed to be in, but we had a little wiggle room. Bill very thoughtfully sited the barn taking into consideration, drainage, sun and wind exposure, shade and low hanging oak limbs as well as "drive up appeal". Yes, even donkeys need drive up appeal! We wanted something that would hold up to the weather, yet not look brand new. Bill just happened to have some old weathered tin siding at his place that at one time, belonged to a freed slave descendent, an old gentleman that, ironically, was born on our property not 50 yards from the donkey barn site. The old tin, mixed with a new red metal roof, cedar posts and rainwater collection combined to make our perfect barn! Complete with hay and grain storage, sliding donkey-proof barn door and hinged windows for a funky yet functional final product--and all within ridiculous budget constraints! Bill, you are the barn-god, thanks
