TESTIMONIALS
My mother moved into her new patio home in Watab Springs that Wollak
Construction recently built. Ernie Wollak was great to work with. He finished the home on time as promised and his kindness and attention to detail made the whole building process fun! The staff and crew for Wollak Construction were great. I would highly recommend Wollak Construction for you next building project.

My wife and I recently moved into this area, and into a home built for us by Wollak Construction. To say we are pleased with the result would be an understatement. We found Ernie Wollak and his staff patient and receptive to ideas throughout the process, form beginning with a rough floor plan layout we brought them, to taking those ideas through to a formal plan and turning them into a reality. Ernie Wollak himself was, without exception, willing to meet and discuss ideas, make adjustments and additions we wanted and was on site and in control of the project. With the personal attention given, Ernie himself was very much in touch with what we wanted in a home. The team of suppliers, builders, and tradesmen necessary to complete the project and complete it on time were all coordinated by the Wollak team, In February, we were given a projected completion date of July 15th. We closed at noon on July 15th. We would not hesitate recommending Wollak Construction to our closest friends.

Before we had chosen our builder. Ernie came to our site and sat with us and our plans, he helped us to place the house for the best views & functionality. We had already narrowed our choices, but when we saw his willingness to serve even before he had the job, well that just clinched it. When it came time to make selections, they were so helpful-but yet they let us make the decisions. They helped us every step of the way.
Every week Ernie called us with a status update. Special treatment like this, and still we were done a month early, and thousands under budget!! Now this is something you can’t shop for. Sold on quality, impressed by the people, pleased with the price, delighted with our home. Wollak’s - good people - quality builders!!
Mike & Deb Disher
Our experience with Wollak Construction was enjoyable. We had a short timetable to complete a home still under construction and they delivered!! We liked Ernie being on the job site and he had working knowledge of all aspects of the building process. He called us a number of times to update us on progress. The home was built exactly to our plan. After we moved in, they were prompt on a few items that had to be adjusted. We would be glad to recommend Wollak Construction to anyone.

We built our dream home on the Fairways Golf Course this spring with Wollak Construction. We cannot say enough good things about our experience building with the people at Wollak. Throughout the entire process we worked closely with Ernie and his staff. Our concerns were always dealt with immediately and enthusiastically. We were never made to feel that any of our questions were not important. In fact they were always handled quickly and professionally. Occasionally we would change our minds regarding parts of the house. Ernie and the people at Wollak never considered these changes to be an inconvenience. Their normal response was. "No Problem". We also had the pleasure of getting to know many of the sub-contractors who were willing to listen to and respond to our particular wishes. They always insisted that our satisfaction is all that mattered. When we began building our home we had a vision of what we felt the end result would be and, with the help of Ernie, his staff and the incredible people he hires to work with him our expectations were exceeded in every way!! We enthusiastically recommend Wollak Construction to anyone who is considering building a new home.
Mick & Sarah Pickens
We are so pleased with our new home and the extra’s that Ernie put in for us. Before we moved into our house and during the walk thru Ernie carefully explained all the house features. If there was an area that we felt needed adjustment it was scheduled immediately and taken care of before we moved into the house. Ernie mode our "quick" move accommodating and the closing smooth and comforting. The staff in the Wollak Construction office answered any questions or concerns I had, in a very timely manner. It as nice feeling like their number on customer! Thanks again to Ernie, Terri and Lori for all their help.

My wife and I recently purchased a new home from Wollak Construction. We are very pleased with the home design, workmanship and personal attention paid to all our requests. We couldn’t believe the high level of personal attention provided by Ernie Wollak himself and his staff, to complete the specific adjustments and additions we requested, within the 40 days prior to closing. The attention to detail in their workmanship and all the included amenities, make living in a Wollak Constructed home very comfortable for the whole family. We can see why the Wollak team is a trusted and respected quality home builder, in this area.

My husband and I began searching for our dream home Last year. I contacted Ernie to see what he had available in what we were looking for. Our first interaction with Ernie was something I will never forget. He was professional, had expertise in his field, and could offer multiple suggestions for us to think about. One thing that we noticed right away was his character and how he believed in what he could offer. He listened to our needs and always put them first. He was with us throughout this entire process. Every day he was at our building site and could address immediately any concerns we had. His workmanship and attention to detail and quality is outstanding. His team of subcontractors were professional and always willing to listen to concerns and change plans as needed. His office stall is up to date on all the multiple details of your home. Their communication is unbeatable. Their professionalism is unbeatable. Their compassion and understanding was so much appreciated by us. It always amazed us that will all the homes that they have in process each on is top priority and number one.
Custom building is a challenging adventure. We highly endorse Ernie & Wollak Construction for any of your future building needs. If you want it done with highest quality and a builder that truly goes out of his way to you "Wollak Construction and his team will be there."
Mike & Deb Eisenstadt
It is very easy for us to share with others about our experience with Wollak Construction. When Bill and I began looking for a new home we can honestly say that the most important and smartest decision we made was to call Ernie Wollak at Wollak Construction. Ernie and staff made us feel welcome and were as genuinely excited about our new home as we were. Having a unique situation of a large family and home business, it was very comforting to have someone really listen to what we wanted and needed, then they helped us create our dream home. Being very busy as many people are these days, it was really nice to have someone who would accommodate our schedule and give us answers to questions or concerns whenever they would arise.
We simply cannot say enough about the quality building and care that went into our home. It was very evident that Ernie Wollak cares about every home he builds like it was his own, then taking the time to explain about the home from top to bottom showed that he cared about us as homeowners. The attention to detail and craftsmanship that was given puts Wollak Construction above the rest.
Bill and I have walked away from the experience incredibly happy and knowing that Wollak Construction will be there for us even after the sale is complete. We could not have been any happier with our overall experience. We would highly recommend giving Wollak Construction a call for all of your building needs.
Mande & Bill Musielewicz
Ernie Wollak and Wollak Construction have a well deserved reputation for excellence. As we began our home building project we were reassured to hear so many people share with us their positive comments about the work that Ernie does. The enthusiasm shown by Ernie, Terri & Lori made our home building experience truly enjoyable and we love our new home!
Our home is unique and functional because Ernie sincerely listened to our ideas and made them practical by using his expertise and that of his subcontractors. The subcontractors were courteous, skilled and professional. Ernie inspected all of the work as if it were his own home. Ernie and staff knew all about the details of the house - what was happening next and kept us informed along the way.
We were welcomed as active participants in the decision making throughout the project and as a result we really felt a sense of pride and ownership from the beginning. Everyone at Wollak Construction treated us as partners as our new home became a reality.
The follow through and attention to detail exhibited by Ernie & staff earned our trust and we heartily recommend Wollak Construction for a positive home building experience and a beautiful home!

My wife and I have been in our current home for almost 33 years. We have truly enjoyed the house, neighborhood and friendly neighbors.
We have been looking for a "true" one level home off and on for something close to five years now. Nothing ever seemed to fit our needs. I t was either too large or too small, not really a desirable location, or may have been one level inside, but the substantial number of steps, etc. to reach it.
Far too many were externally almost identical, with a limited number of floor plans, with little room for realistic and cost effective changes to those plans. The quality of construction left a great deal to be desired, unless you were well beyond the pricing norms.
Being introduced to Ernie Wollak, his fine staff, and superb subcontractors, has been a wonderful experience for us. Their attention to detail, foresight in understanding needs and desires for our new home was/is nothing short of unbelievable.
We know, of course, that we are not their only customer, but everyone connected with Wollak Construction has made us feel like we are. We could go on and on about how helpful everyone has been, but simply put, you need to experience it yourself to truly believe it.

My family and I recently moved to the Sartell area from Fort Wayne, Indiana. Upon arrival we immediately started to look for a home. We met with several real estate agents and builders. My wife Michelle and I visited the Tour of Homes and ran across a home built by Wollak Construction. It was immediately obvious that Wollak Construction built a solid home and paid close attention to the smallest of details. Michelle and I selected the ramble which was about 90 percent complete at the time.
During the next couple of weeks, Wollak Construction continued to make the changes to our home and never missed a deadline or a commitment. Buying a home from Wollak Construction was a great experience. During the six week time period, several dozen calls where placed to or from Wollak Construction. I never got an answering machine and whenever I had a question, I received a return call within minutes with the answer.
In closing, Michelle and I have a beautiful home, a contractor that we would recommend to anyone and, most important of all...we have new friends at Wollak Construction.
Richard and Michelle Phillips
Since retiring, my wife and I are returning to our home area. After working through our Realtor for 2 1/2 years, we toured Oak View Pond homes. Early the next morning we returned for another look, when this gentleman in a pickup truck, stopped and greeted us. He then gave us a personal tour of the home. The greeter turned out to be Ernie, himself. Ernie took us on a tour of Phase 2, before the roads were in and we loved the area.
We started building with Wollak Construction and staff. They guided us with lots of patience, being we were not able to be at the project often.
We enjoy the layout and craftsmanship of our home. Wollak and staff continue to be available for us. We enjoy Ernie’s hands on work ethics. The pond and wildlife are a real joy.
Thanks Ernie and Staff.
Elmer and Arlene Rhode
We have been extremely pleased with our
Wollak Construction home. We purchased the Spring Tour Home making a few changes
and additions. During this process, Wollak was very responsive to our needs and
efficient. Ernie was involved in every step for the changes and additions and
always kept us updated. Due to the hard working people at Wollak (and the
fortune of good weather), everything was complete by closing. The staff was so
easy to work with and made excellent recommendations. They were all exceedingly
accommodating due to the fact that we were moving from another state. Calls were
always returned quickly and someone always answered the phone at the office. The
best thing of all is the exceptional high quality of our Wollak home. We are
pleased with the attention to detail and all of the small, yet meaningful,
additions throughout the home. The design of the home flows well and fits with
our family’s needs. We are incredibly happy to have chosen Wollak Construction
and would recommend them to anyone!"
Wade & Tonya Schmidt
Building a new home can be exciting and stressful. It is important to choose
the right builder. When we decided to custom build our second home, we once
again choose the skilled staff at Wollak Construction. We appreciated their
attention to detail, promptness and quality. Everyone was very helpful
throughout the entire process. We would highly recommend building a home with
Wollak Construction.
Sincerely,
Roger & Jill Krueger
My wife and I recently built a with Wollak Construction.
Ernie and his staff were excellent to work with. From start to finish the entire staff was helpful,
informative and always available for questions or concerns that we might have
had. We recently moved in and we love our new home. All I can say is that "I
would highly recommend Wollak Construction." Thank you Ernie and all your staff
you guy’s are great!
Jim & Marla Wegleitner
When we needed a handicapped accessible home for Jim, we knew exactly the
builder we wanted to build our new home. Without hesitation we called Ernie
Wollak. Since Wollak Construction built a home for us in 1990 in Little Falls
and we purchased a second new home from Wollak Construction in Sauk Rapids in
2002, we already knew Ernie and his team built beautiful quality homes. After
the plans for our new home were complete, Ernie would meet with us on a regular
basis with updates. We knew if we had concerns or changes to the plans, Ernie
could be reached without delay. Ernie, his team, and subcontractors were
courteous and had patience with us, as at times we changed our plans or added to
them. Our new home was built, with our opinion, virtually stress free and our
home is absolutely gorgeous. Thank you Ernie, Terri, Lori, Lisa, and all the
subcontractors for our beautiful quality built home!
Sincerely,
Jim & Joanne Schultz
Ernie has helped us through the home purchasing experience twice in the past
8 years and in both cases it has been a pleasure to work with him and his staff.
When we purchased our first home from Ernie he used his experience and knowledge
to help guide us through the decision-making process. When other builders were
pushing us to make a decision Ernie took the time to LISTEN to our needs. The
quality of his homes along with his salesmanship truly set him apart from the
other builders in St. Cloud area. As our family grew so did our need for a
bigger house. We looked at other builders and we came right back to Wollak
Construction. Ernie’s flexibility and willingness to meet our needs went above
and beyond our expectations. Working with us to get our dream house was
paramount to Ernie and his staff. We can’t thank them enough for our new home
and the memories we are creating in it. If you are looking to build a home there
is no question in our minds on who we would turn to, Wollak Construction!
Cheryl Kelley-Bowman and Jesse Bowman
From our first meeting till closing we felt very comfortable talking to all
the representatives of Wollak Construction. We are George and April Moir. We
recently purchased a house in Sartell off Wollak Construction, and our
experience was that everybody there was very helpful indeed. From deciding on
carpets, paint, fixtures, etc., to the final walk through with Ernie who was
especially helpful. We have nothing but praise for this company and would
recommend it to anyone who is looking to buy a house.
Yours Truly,
George and April Moir
Before buying our Patio home in Knottingham Village in Sartell from Wollak
Construction, we had looked at just about every Patio home on the market. We
kept going back to a Wollak home because of the attention to detail and the
quality workmanship. What we didn’t know about Wollak Construction when we
bought our home was how quickly Ernie and his crew would respond to our
questions and those minor details that needed attention after we moved in. The
office staff even checked in with us from time to time just to ask us how things
were going! This is a builder who follows through even after the sale! For
quality, dependability, an a caring staff, you can’t go wrong with Wollak
Construction
Craig Melville and Mary Millet
In the 14 years we have owned the home, we have
never had Wollak Construction back for any quality related issues. The
only time we have called, our sprinkler system exploded, not their fault, I
needed help installing a temporary window right away, I thought to call their
office for any ideas. In less than two hours the job was done, thanks to
Lori at Wollak Construction making a few phone calls. Now that is great
service.
p.s. One month after we built with Ernie, I came home from a trip, there was
Ernie in the backyard with his bobcat, I thought he was touching up some dirt
work before we planted the yard, seems he likes to relieve stress with the bobcat,
the results were great, even though we thought things were fine the way they
were already!!!
Jim & Mary Jo Waggoner
We just recently built our home with Wollak Construction. To Say we
are pleased with our home and the service is an understatement. Wollak's
attention to detail and the craftsmanship that comes from Ernie and his team are
a step above the others. Building a house can be a very stressful project
if you don't have the right team working with you. From the moment we met
Ernie, we knew that we were making the right decision. After meeting with
several companies, we were most impressed with the way we were treated at Wollak
Construction. Even though Ernie was very busy with many projects, he took
the time to meet with us and shared his fabulous ideas and suggestions. He
had plenty of great advise after building homes for 30 years. We just
wanted to say thank you to Ernie and his team for building our dream home!!

My husband and I moved from Illinois to Sauk Rapids to live near our
daughter in December. The first of December our house sold in Illinois and
we had to close by December 20th. Well, we drove up hear and started
looking. Our daughter and son-in-law had been keeping and eye on the
market for us. We saw Ernie Wollak's home on Star Drive and truly liked
the house. But we had to see more houses and do some research.
Everyone we talked to asked us who is the builder and we said, Ernie Wollak and
they said he is a very good builder. That constant praise and all the help
we received from Ernie and Lori helped us make the decision to buy the house.
We moved in December 22nd, and they had all the little changes we asked for
complete and the house in move-in condition. Jerry and I feel both Ernie
and Lori are there to help us make our new house a home. We have lived in
our new home 3 months and are very happy with our decision and our home.
Sandy & Jerry Heflin
We began thinking about building a home and we looked at
many models and talked with many contractors. We were impressed with the
quality of work we saw with the models of Wollak Construction. We chose
Wollak Construction after feeling satisfied about the style of home we were
looking for, and talking with Ernie. He was easy to work with and
accommodating with our ideas. The staff at Wollak Construction are
professional and were willing to work with us through all stages of our home
building. We feel as though Wollak Construction cared about every aspect
of our home and in helping to make it feel as our own. We have been in our
home for one year now and everything has been to our expectations and there is
not anything we would want to change.
John & Jeanne Blackmore
We recently moved into our new home that
Wollak Construction built for us. From start to finish we have been more
then satisfied. They were very easy to work with, truly listened to our
ideas of what we wanted in our new home and were very helpful with suggestions
from their years of experience in the industry. What really impressed us
about Wollak Construction was the fact that they conformed to our schedule.
Lori is a true asset to this company. Whether it was meeting at the
jobsite or making selections, she is very knowledgeable, helpful and a joy to
work with. Wollak Construction made our home building process stress free
and very pleasant experience.
Don & Cindy Lewandowski
The workmanship and quality of materials seem very good. Everyone
was very pleasant to work with. Lori was very accommodating and knew the
various materials and products well. Terri was helpful and prompt in
addressing any questions. We were especially pleased that when we neared
completion of the project and some problems arose (kitchen floor scratched,
chips in shower, wrong bath counter), Ernie got on the phone with the
subcontractors and corrected the problem right away. There was no question
or delay. Thanks, Ernie, for being on top of things and getting everything
done on time (in 20 days).
Joe & Helen Gerhts
Being an Interior Designer, I tend to be particular about both the
big and small details of my home. Ernie Wollak & the entire office staff
were wonderful & very patient through all of the changes we made. They
each truly cared about the tings that are important to us and worked along with
my husband and myself to make our dream home a reality. We knew, of
course, that we were not their only customer, but everyone connected with Wollak
Construction has make us feel like we are. We could go on and on about how
helpful everyone has been, but simply put, you need to experience it yourself to
truly believe it. Because of the quality of craftsmanship & attention to
detail I know that our home will still be beautiful for years to come. We
are incredibly happy to have chosen Wollak Construction and would recommend them
to anyone.

Once Again, we want to say Thank You for making the building process so
enjoyable. We cannot describe how much we appreciate everything you have
done for us. You all, especially Ernie, have given so much more than we
every expected. Everything from planning/design, to working with our
schedule, to contact with the subcontractors went very smooth. We are very
happy with the final product. Thank you again.
Jeff, Tracy, Nathan & Andrew Wollak
The experience with Wollak is wonderful. Even with the carpet
now up it all worked out in the end. We thank Lisa and Lori for all of
their hard work getting us going and working out all the details. Also, we
want to thank Ernie... her was great! Thanks.. It all worked out and
we "love" our home, and the kids are becoming great friends with the neighbors!
Thank you, Ryan & Heather Haehn
Wollak's staff continues to be available to us.
Ed Rhode
Our house building experience with Wollak's was a good one.
Ernie was very easy to work with and the rest of the team were enjoyable to work
with as well. Thanks again. Tell Jim and Dale they did and excellent
job!.
Brad & Renae Bacon
Thank you Lori for taking care of our problems immediately. You
are very good at what you do. Our daughter and son-in-law came with us
looking for a patio home. After looking at all that the area had to offer,
our son-in-law gave Wollak the Best Build of All!!
Betty and Don Swedziak
Our family relocated to MN and began searching for our new home.
Although we viewed many beautiful houses, we did not find our dream home.
After discovering the beautiful location of The Cove on the Mississippi River,
we decided to build and chose Wollak Construction as our builder. We are
very satisfied with our choice. Ernie and the hard-working people who work
for him are highly skilled and very dedicated. They made us feel welcome
when we viewed the building process and offered ideas and suggestions: many of
which we implemented. We felt they view our home as a group endeavor and
did their very best to please us. Our house is almost complete and we can
take pride in our home due to the professional workmanship that we done to
constuct it. Wollak Construction builds a quality home.
Proud Owners,
Kevin & Debbie Wood
