Company History

The company was started by Robert McDonald in May of 2000 when he felt the need to provide higher quality service and products to the construction industry in Southeastern Wisconsin. The desire was to meet the challenging needs and high level of customer demands with Integrity, Superior Service and Unmatched Warranties. Based on the Southwestern corner of Milwaukee County in the City of Franklin, he formed Excel Custom Contractors, LLC. Excel Custom Contractors currently serves the entire Southeastern Wisconsin, Southern Wisconsin and Northern Illinois communities. We proudly searve Waukesha, Menomonee Falls, Brookfield, Franklin, Oak Creek, New Berlin, Pewaukee, Hartland, Lake Geneva and surrounding areas.

It was with the idea of providing ‘custom’ized customer service, to meet the unique individual tastes and product performance goals of his customers. Today Excel Custom Contractors has grown into a mid-sized Residential and Commercial General Contracting and Remodeling Company that can handle any size project from the foundation to the roof. Excel Custom Contractors prides itself in doing the best job the right way the first time, this ensures our customers will get what they expect from both their product choices and quality construction installations.

Since the Spring of 2009, Excel Custom Contractors has brought on a new addition to it’s ownership with James Lawrence Jr. of Oak Creek, Wisconsin. Jim has been working for Excel Custom Contractors for the previous five years as a Carpentar Foreman in which he ran many varying crews and has now become its Vice President and COO. Together with their combined expertise and knowledge of products and skillful installations Excel Custom Contractors is positioned to continue to grow and enhance its offerings to its every expanding customer base.
