Critical:Professionalism,Responsiveness
I reached out to Village Builders to inquire about having my existing deck removed and rebuilt. What was initially a responsive and promising discussion ultimately devolved into a curt dismissal. When I sought to have just the foundation and framing work taken care of is when things took an unpleasant turn.

Village Builders was a pleasure to work with from beginning to end. They were also the best price of all our quotes and came in on budget! The whole team was professional, helpful, courteous and they really knew what they were doing. We are so pleased with our bathroom/shower renovation and would definitely use them again with any project that comes up.
