Zimmerei und Holzbau Detlef Lankes

The Detlef Lankes carpentry company built a flat roof dormer and installed the balcony door for us in December 2022. We are very satisfied with the company's work. The collaboration was very pleasant, and contact with Mr. Lankes was excellent (in person, via email, and by phone). Despite the very lengthy building permit process and a 5- to 6-week delivery time from the balcony door dealer, Mr. Lankes offered us the earliest possible date. He also stuck to the quoted prices (from February!), so there were no unpleasant surprises at the end. And when we had problems with the delivered balcony door (instructions and mounting elements/screws were missing, the extensions were too narrow, and the manufacturer and – initially, but later no longer – the dealer refused to help us), Mr. Lankes did NOT let us down (it was December, about 0 degrees outside, and we had an almost 3x4m opening in the living room) and actively searched for a solution (including many phone calls with the dealer – including their technical department). And ultimately, he and his team managed to install the balcony door. We then installed the interior insulation and interior cladding (concrete panels, plastering, electrical system, etc.) ourselves – as agreed. We also shortened the roof overhang and installed new gutters and exterior lights. Only the plumber hired by Mr. Lankes was a bit "odd" – the first thing he did was point out the scaffolding (it was fake and too unsafe for him), even though he hadn't even looked at it yet and didn't even know where the safe access/ascent point was... Otherwise, he did the roofing work well and on time. And with Mr. Lankes, everything was professional and on time!

I had a wooden terrace completely renovated by Lankes in April '25. The order was carried out at short notice, quickly and carefully. A minor complaint was dealt with immediately and without discussion. Very good job!!

A faulty roof beam had to be reinforced at short notice according to the structural engineer's specifications. I spoke with Mr. Lankes on the phone on Monday, and on Wednesday he arrived on time at the construction site with two helpers. Within an hour, everything was completed, and construction work could continue. I definitely recommend him.
