Old Towne Custom Builders, Inc

We trusted Old Towne Custom Builders in St Charles to guide us through the entire journey, from scouting the perfect lot to handling all the complex negotiations with local authorities for permits. What really set them apart was Mr. Drewes’ hands-on approach; he wasn’t just supervising, he was right there on the site every day, personally tackling much of the finish carpentry and cabinetry work himself. It is rare to find a contractor so deeply invested in the details. If we ever embark on building another home, Old Towne Custom Builders will be our first call for the job.

Our experience with Allen Drewes and his team at Old Towne Custom Builders in St Charles was exceptional. We bought a previously renovated property full of sneaky defects, and Allen’s expertise was exactly what we needed. He proved to be a trustworthy, honest professional who guided us through a complex diagnostic process without breaking the bank. Unlike other contractors who shy away from difficult tasks, his team tackled our frustrating issues with patience and a great attitude. The entire group was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful, earning our complete trust for any future work. Whether it’s a small remodel or a custom build, I highly recommend Old Towne for their reliability and quality. We’ve continued to bring them back for new projects because we know we can rely on them.

Allen from Old Towne Custom Builders brought a wonderful sense of creativity and innovation to our kitchen, dining, and living room renovation in St Charles. He was a pleasure to work with, professional, and quick to address any questions we had. The skilled tradespeople he hired did an outstanding job, particularly with the custom-painted cabinetry and the new pantry that replaced the bulky built-in. The new hardwood flooring across the entire first floor not only tied the rooms together but also made the space feel larger and more open. Best of all, we stayed on budget—the final price was actually 10% less than the original estimate. We are thrilled with the results and plan to hire Old Towne Custom Builders again for future projects in our home.

I recently completed a commercial property renovation with Old Towne Custom Builders, Inc, and the experience was excellent. Allen Drews was instrumental to the project's success, delivering high-quality work without any delays. We are already planning to hire Allen for our next renovation.

Old Towne Custom Builders in St Charles really stands behind their expertise, backed by over three decades of hands-on experience. Owner Allen Drewes is deeply familiar with current building codes and standards, a fact underscored by his role as President of the Illinois Professional Builders Association. He served as both design consultant and contractor for our wheelchair-accessible bathroom renovation, proving to be incredibly diligent and adaptable. Allen was open to using unconventional materials to achieve a blend of modern and traditional aesthetics while keeping functionality front and center. His strong grasp of ADA guidelines was crucial, ensuring we had reliable safety features that allowed my disabled father to comfortably share the space with able-bodied family and guests. When standard products were limited, his custom carpentry skills provided the necessary flexibility as our needs evolved. The result is a refreshing, accessible bathroom that stayed well within our budget. I highly recommend Old Towne Builders and look forward to working with them again.
