Accessible Home, Marshfield, Wisconsin
It would be difficult to describe how wonderful this couple is, and what dear friends they have become to the Wood Wright family.Wood Wright Construction was asked to provide advice and a bid for a major accessibility remodel of an existing home in Marshfield. After much evaluation and discussion of the cost of the project, it was decided to begin from scratch and build an accessible home from the ground up. Most of the current technological acvancements for accessible living were incorporated in the design of the Marshfield home, and our customer now has an ultra-energy efficient home that provides safety, security, convenience and satisfaction.
We cannot imagine a more enthusiastic and kind couple to work for, and we are proud to not only have built their home, but to know them personally and be inspired by their zeal for life.
