Testimonials

I have had the great pleasure of having Audrey do interior design in my home. I love the way she combines new and old. She has taken my "average home" and made it lush warm and beautiful!!!!! Michele Burnes Solon, Iowa

Gary built our house in 1999 and in 2009 we asked him to put an addition on. His quality of work and craftsmanship are second to none. We have never had a problem with any part of our home in the ten years we've lived there Gary is honest and up front about his job estimates so there are no surprises on your bill. He wants his customers to be happy and makes sure they are. Audrey has the most creative decorative style we've ever seen. She can take pieces from anywhere and put them together to look amazing. Audrey and Gary make a great team, they are both so easy to work with and you have a one stop shop for your building and decorating needs in Gary Ollinger Construction and Accents by Audrey. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a builder or decorator. Mark and Kelly Fischer Cedar Rapids, Iowa

Gary installed wood floors in my family, sun, great room and hallway this Spring. He is a perfectionist and did such a beautiful job, I absolutely love them. His quality of work is by far superior to any I've seen. He makes sure that the customer is every satisfied. I have recommended him to all my friends and neighbors and am so proud of his work that I gladly show them my home. Also, he oversaw the installation of tile in two of my bathrooms, made sure everything ran smooth and I didn't have to worry about one thing.

Audrey can come into a room and immediately see what potential it has with her suggestions. I've seen some of the homes she has decorated and they are like no other. She has the very best ideas. Neither Gary or Audrey are at all pushy, they just want you to be happy with what they do. Both of them are wonderful people to work with and I would not ever consider using any one else for any of my work. Mary Jane Wilkey Cedar Rapids, Iowa

I am in the construction business, and I am very dedicated to quality work. That’s why Gary has built two houses for me. He is very meticulous and will not accept work or craftsmanship that is not outstanding. He is very reliable and easy to work with. He is definitely the builder you are looking for if you want the best! Kevin Atkins, Iowa

Audrey has decorated three homes for my husband and me. I cannot express how thrilled I have been to work with her. She is amazingly creative and is dedicated to matching everyone’s individual tastes (not an easy task when if comes to the two of us)! She can truly make any space in your house the envy of all of your friends! Deena Atkins, Iowa

We had been looking for a new home for a while and unable to find a single thing that caught our interest. However that all changed the moment we walked into the Ollinger spec home, we knew at that moment this was going to be our home. We loved the floor plan and obvious quality of construction. Gary’s skill for perfection and Audrey’s eye for design made the building process a lot less stressful. They are great people to work with. When we decide to build our next home, there is no doubt in our mind that we will have an Ollinger built home. Jim and Janette, Fairfax

Accents by Audrey is the place to go if you want top quality and great design options for your home decorating needs. Audrey Ollinger has impeccable taste and her advice is priceless.

We love what Audrey has done! Chris and Tina Kalous, Fairfax

Gary Ollinger, in our opinion, is the finest and one of the most respected builders in the Cedar Rapids area. His conscientious attention to detail and quality is second to none. He built our home in a timely manner, and was able to stay within our budget. Our new home has surpassed our expectations and we have recommended him to many. We would build another home with Gary Ollinger without a doubt. Tina and Chris Kalous, Fairfax
