We recently bought a fixer-upper that hadn't been renovated since it was built in the '60s, so we enlisted SJB to help us modernize it. We tore down walls and fireplaces, replaced all the floors and fixtures, and even added a second floor with a killer master bathroom. Steve and his crew were phenomenal; the quality of work is fantastic and Steve was great at addressing any questions after we moved in. He was very knowledgeable and by-the-bookno cutting cornersso I'm confident our new home will be in good shape for years to come.

Steve is extremely professional and the quality of his work is amazing! The job was done within the timeline agreed upon and the results exceeded our expectations. He kept the work site clean as he progressed to the finished product and I will definitely hire him again.

A year ago I sought out a contractor to build a room addition. I found SJB Construction through Google searches and other research. 5 stars on Yelp, good BBB profile, I felt like I was making a good choice. The day my project started was a foreshadowing of things to come. Steve had told me I wouldn't need to move out of my existing bedroom until " the last month ". The very first day, his crew began removing stucco from the side of my house and smashed my master bedroom window. They boarded that window up. Rains were in the forecast for the following couple of weeks and I had exposed insulation

Steve and his team took our 80-year old home and brought new life to it. The integration from the old into the new is seamless. His knowledge of finished carpentry made all the difference. We had rooms and rooms of molding that couldn't be found anymore. Steve did lots of research for us and we came up with solutions that match so close you wouldn't know they were not built at the same time. We had to stay within the guidelines of the historical society and Steve's knowledge of those guidelines and made our home still look like it was built 80 years ago with upgrades of course.

This isnt my first home, nor the first time I have used many contractors before. But the worst experience before the job even started. I called Steve the second day I had a house leak to patch up drywall and renovate the upstair bathrooms.
Steve showed up the about ten days because he was busy with his schedule and water mitigation was just finished. I asked Steve to give me two separate estimates; first for the bathroom with the leak, needed the pave new tiles, dry wall and the downstair ceiling drywall. Second, for the other bathroom I wanted to renovate. I explained that first bathroom
