Four Generations of Fine Carpentry and Construction

Hovestol is not just a business name, it’s a family name with a long history in the Walworth County community. We treat our clients like neighbors and friends.

General Contracting

We provide general contracting for new construction and remodels for any type of project.

Trim Carpentry

Our custom trim packages include beautiful door and window trim, mantles, crown moulding, wainscoting, chair rails, columns, beams, tub surrounds and more.

Custom Staircases

Wood staircases are not routine carpentry, and shouldn’t be left up to just anyone. We are proud that our beautiful custom staircases are a unique specialty.

Designer Cabinetry

From lockers, mud rooms, and laundry rooms, to beautiful kitchen remodels, our custom cabinetry shines in any room, offering the best of function and elegance.

We are so pleased with Dan’s work that we have hired him again as the general contractor for an addition to our vacation home in Lake Geneva.

Dan’s experience working on fine homes, the excellent subcontractors he introduced us to, his creative vision as a carpenter, and his attention to detail were exactly what we were looking for.

We purchased a 25 year old home that needed to be remodeled and we chose Dan to coordinate our project. Dan is very responsive and worked with our vision and timeframe to update and modernize our home. There were many changes along the way and Dan was very flexible. His attention to detail and follow up on the small things after installation brings him highly recommended.

Dan Hovestol and the folks at Hovestol Construction are professional, courteous, and prompt. However, and I believe most importantly, what they do is not mere construction, but nothing short of fine art. You simply can not be disappointed with their performance, and their craftsmanship is second to none.

Dan and his team gave us great advice for an affordable, yet classic and elegant looking staircase that matched the feel of the rest of our home.

We contacted Hovestol Construction to provide a quote to add beams in our family room and to remove dated columns from our dining room. Dan responded within 24 hours with a site visit followed immediately with an estimate. His references were excellent and his quote was fair. The job has been completed with exceptional craftsmanship and in a timely manner. Dan and his crew were professional, courteous and skilled. We would highly recommend this company for any work you might be contemplating.

On top of dealing with someone who is just a great person, you are hiring someone who goes the extra mile with their services. Their work is unquestionably the best that I have ever come across in the contracting world.

Dan and I are currently working on two projects together. We have been reviewing plans and engineering drawings on the conversion of an 1836 post and beam constructed barn which we plan to start the conversion this fall. Dan has been working with us on the planning for over a year and is a complete professional. Dan and his team also completed the restoration of one of our out buildings including, HVAC, Roofing and trim work. Dan has the ability to work outside of the normal stick-build mentality and can solve difficult problems on older homes or structures. He also has done work in the area for a long time and has the additional trades lined up to get the work done right and on time. Highly recommend Dan!
