About

“My wife and I could not be more pleased with our selection of Stebral construction for our once in a lifetime “dream” home construction project. John’s thoroughness, attention to detail and passion for what he does shined through every phase of the project. John is very energetic, and he and his team were proactive within all phases of the project. Dedication to craftsmanship and “doing it right” were always evident. We were in a unique position of residing 3 hours away and John made sure to ask pertinent questions, keeping us updated and always being available every step of the way including providing photos when we couldn’t be there. He personally made this an enjoyable experience confirming what he said early on that if you’re not having fun doing this then you’re doing it wrong. To say our expectations were exceeded is a definitely an understatement.”

“Terry & John Stebral are a class act. Their knowledge, understanding and wisdom of how to build a home guided us throughout the entire process. Their attention to detail and timely coordination with the sub-contractors was refreshing!
When the project was completed we were ready to start again. Overall, a wonderful experience from start to finish."”

“Stebral Construction exceeded all of our expectations! From the planning stages to the finishing stages, John was amazing to work with us so that our home was custom built to meet our family's needs. During planning and initial digging of the foundation, John identified ways that would allow us to build a home that would be functional and cost effective, and still have custom features that makes our home unique, both inside and out. He suggested changes to our foundation that allows our home to flow with the lay of the land, rather than build excessive retaining walls that would take away from the beauty of the land and add significant cost to our budget. We wanted to be part of the building process, completing some of the services ourselves. John worked with us to identify and plan what that would look like. He introduced us to his subcontractors, who were as committed to building our home as Stebral Construction. John and Terry also had creative ideas that enhanced the beauty of our home. John suggested a tray ceiling with wood trim that is absolutely beautiful. Terry suggested trim ideas that makes our home gorgeous. John often said he wanted to build our home with the same care and attention as if it were his own home. The custom features, attention to detail, and dedicated service are a reflection of John's commitment.

We love the work of Stebral Construction, and would recommend their work to anyone!”

“I am often asked to write letters of recommendation, be it for prospective students, perspective job seekers, or staff members for job promotions. In this case, I would like to provide what is essentially an unsolicited letter fully supporting you and Stebral Construction. Pat and I have appreciated your guidance and thoughtfulness throughout what turned out to be a substantial home construction project, and process. You did a wonderful job identifying superb contractors. You and your staff guided us thru a complex set of requirements while being open to ideas, recommendations. articulate, and flexible yet firm in making sure that there was careful attention to detail. These attributes were shared by the architect you recommended to form a successful working relationship. Your consistent availability and honesty were, and remain, important to us.

I will continue to recommend you and your company to friends, family and anyone needing to embark on a home construction project.”

“About four years ago we had the opportunity to build our “dream home” on a one-of-a-kind lot in the Solon area. We selected a very talented house designer and came up with an exciting house plan; perfect for the lot we had purchased. Now it was time to decide on a builder. We knew the Stebral name because Jim Stebral had built many quality homes in the Solon area over the years. We contacted John & Terry Stebral knowing they had purchased the business from their dad and discussed our intentions with them. We also contacted about 3 or 4 other home builders from the Iowa City/Cedar Rapids area to view our plans and discuss the cost of building our home. Throughout the process we kept coming back to John & Terry because we felt they were taking this endeavor very seriously and had our best interests in mind. The relationship we developed with John & Terry was extremely important to us because there is enough stress associated with building a home without having a builder and their sub-contractors conducting their business in a sub par way. I guess the best testimonial we can give Stebral Construction is that we would not consider any other home builder to build another home for us if we ever decide to do so. Furthermore, we would NOT hesitate for a minute to recommend them to anybody considering building a home.”

“We have been in our "Stebral" home for five and a half years now. I can honestly say I am still as happy with the house today, as I was when we moved in. Having built a house before and not having the greatest experience, I was hopeful for a different experience with Johnny and Terry but was not sure how it would go. Both of them did not disappoint. They both listened to our wishes for the house and put up, patiently with all the pictures I presented to them with ideas" for the house. They were both very respectful and guided us in our final decision making. Both of them and their crew were always on the job and concerned with completing each step on time. I was, and still am, impressed with their amazing craftsmanship. Everyday I sit down and look around our beautiful home, I am so thankful and feel very fortunate that we had such caring and skilled builders. Thank you Johnny, Terry and crew for giving us the house of our dreams.”
