Testimonials:

It has been eight months since Barron & Jacobs completed work on our home renovations, and both Joseph and I want to tell you and you employees how much we have been enjoying the changes. The improvements look wonderful and your crews did a superb job. We would like to single out carpenters Dave, Bob and Sean, and the men who did the siding, Dimitri and Paul. They all showed special consideration, and went more than an extra mile to be sure that we were pleased with the quality of their work.

Everyone who has visited us has commented about the fine craftsmanship and professionalism in everything that was done. The many alterations and improvements to the office has changed the room from being the coldest in the house to the warmest during the winter months. I am thrilled with my new work space.

Please be sure to thank Dave, Bob and Sean, and let us know if we can provide references.

Chris and Kevin, just wanted to touch base with you both and tell you how happy we are with our kitchen/living/dining renovations. Dave did a great job coordinating everything with the subcontractors. It was a pleasure having him as part of our family for 3 months. WE also enjoyed having Jim, Bob and I think Glenn was his name. They were all easy to work with and were very patient with Bill’s father-in-law who has dementia.

I’m sure he didn’t mention it, but Dave saved my future sister-in-law’s life early during construction – I think sometime early September – anyway, she got her finger caught in their garage door – they live across the road from us – Dave could hear her cries for help and ran across the road and pried the garage door open to release her finger – I rushed her to the emergency room and thankfully she was fine – no broken bones in the finger.

We loved the brightness in the kitchen area now – Bill’s kids tell us it’s the new party spot. Oh boy!! The French doors are great and fun to decorate for Christmas.

We wish you and your staff a Merry Christmas and look forward to calling you for our next home renovation.

It might be afternoon or evening, each of us absorbed in a book, and one of us in the household will voice our feeling: “What a really nice room this is!” The construction of a 20′ x 40′ cathedral-ceiling living room, a deck the same size with a ramp on two sides, and a 20′ screened-in porch was completed a little over a year ago. And we are still excited about it!

We wanted to have the exterior as “woody” as possible, so the deck, ramp, clapboard frontage, and porch exterior are of raw cedar. The porch and deck flooring are mahogany. These areas are all accessible to the new living room which is open to the house.

A through-the-ceiling-and-roof window on the east side compliments six windows and a glass slider in the living room. An overhead fan and propane stove keep us comfortable in all seasons.

That’s the physical aspect of Barron & Jacobs’ construction. The human contact was something extra. The workers were friendly and skilled; getting to know them was fun. We learned more than a little.

Credit for getting the project off the ground and replacing unsound notions with experience-based suggestions is due to Barron & Jacobs’ President. He kept alive in us a sense of positive participation. Warm gratitude goes to Cecil R. Jacobs, President of Barron & Jacobs, who answers to “Jake”.

Dear Chris, we are very pleased with the results and look forward to enjoying the additional space. Please give our thanks to Glenn Colby for doing a super job on this room and on the other carpentry projects around the house. Glenn was extremely professional and we felt fortunate to have him working on our house. It was also a pleasure working with Tom Dadmun who did a great job with the planning. On eof the reasons that we chose Barron & Jacobs was the time and attention that Tom put in to the initial estimate. We made the right choice and it was great working with Barron & Jacobs because of the professionalism and responsiveness of everyone that we dealt with.

Thanks again for a job well done!

Hi Chris, Sandy and I wish to thank you for the excellent job that Barron & Jacobs did in converting our living room into a master bath and office. You personally were always on top of what had to be done next. You communicated our needs superbly with the plumber, electrician and your crew. Lastly, you were always available to talk to on the phone.

Sean deserves special recognition because he was involved with all ph ases of the project. He worked well with the plumber and electrician as well as with the rest of your crew. He was willing to tackle any task and did a superb job at whatever he did.

Lastly, I want to thank Greg for the wonderful job he did on the tub surround. He was a true craftsman and did a great job with all of the finish work.

Jake, as of this date, we have some painting to be done and our sunroom project will be completed. It has been an interesting process and the final result is one that pleases Marcia and me. It should please you as well.

WE want you to know that your construction crew has done a fine job. The quality matches up to our expectations and that manifests itself in our enjoyment of the sunroom already and our perception of the value received. John, Bob and Shawn teamed up to construct a very attractive addition to our home.

John did well as a project leader as he kept us informed of what was going on and what was coming. He gave us ample time to make decisions along the way. He continuously demonstrated effective customer relations skills.

Bob must be recognized as the real architect of our sunroom. This eight sided room was complex in design and he brought it from paper to reality. While some might say he was slow, Marcia and I are grateful for his conscientiousness and thoughtful approach. You should be too, as he was the classic example of measuring twice and cutting once. He didn’t waste any material along the way. He was the guy who thought about all the angles that were an integral part of the octagonal sunroom construction. As a customer, I could sleep at night knowing he was anticipating what was coming and what the best approach would be.

Shawn did a great job working with Bob. The angled window sill and the exterior surfaces can be credited to Shawn. He was making every attempt to make his cuts just right. The final result was very professional.

While this project took longer to complete than I expected, and, perhaps, you as well, it was because John, Bog and Shawn strived to build a fine example of a Barron & Jacobs high quality product. As I recall in a “sales” meeting with you, that is what you were marketing. Your construction crew delivered what you promised. I hope they will be recognized and rewarded for their work.

By the way, your martini is waiting. Just let me know when you want to enjoy it and our new sunroom.

Dear Chris, we just want to express our delight with the new addition your firm has completed for us. From the first day we spoke with Tom it was apparent that your company maintains the highest professional standards. He arrived fully prepared to help us explore and develop the details of the room we were imagining. He even had some samples of materials in his car!

Throughout the construction process every person who worked on this project displayed not only the level of skill and expertise one would hope for, but genuine friendliness as well. We really feel that our new room is a work of art with the many fine details that were implemented by the talented, professional staff that you employ. Needless to say, we will recommend Barron & Jacobs to all of our friends and acquaintances considering a building project.

Again, accept our praise and gratitude for a job superbly done!

Dear Kevin, Rick and I want you and the Barron & Jacobs staff to know how happy we are with our second floor master bed and bath suite. Now that the project is complete and we have been able to spend time in our new space it’s clear that we did the right thing. More importantly, choosing Barron & Jacobs to do this project was definitely the best decision we made.

Your creative design expertise gave us the best possible floor plan for the available space. When we were told “not to worry that Barron & Jacobs would take care of everything” including mishaps, and there were a few, we found you true to your word and for that we are grateful. When you offered to accompany us to the tile, bath, cabinet and rug places we accepted and were glad for your designer eye to things. Knowing we had a limited budget and big ideas, you were most helpful in being creative with cost, allowing us to get the most out of this project. We greatly appreciated your patience and willingness to incorporate our changes throughout the project. We found your calm, patient, and reassuring manner made communication easy and provided a comfort level with you and the company that is so important in a business relationship.

Greg, our Project Manager, was a perfectionist and a highly skilled craftsman. He was personable and great to have around everyday and you couldn’t have matched us more perfectly. Greg’s carpentry skills and attention to detail produced high quality results including an awesome job on the master bath floor with its challenging designer tiles and the curved trim work on the triple arch bedroom window. Greg’s expert craftsmanship is displayed throughout the two rooms and is immediately noticed by everyone who visits. There were many situations during this project for which Greg found creative solutions and his patience and responsiveness to cheerfully make changes on the fly was wonderful.

Chris, our Project Coordinator, was tireless and relentless in his quest to coordinate the subcontractors and answer our endless questions. He never once sounded like he was out of patience with us even when we needed to call him late one night. When a heating pipe leaked Chris came to the house immediately, evaluated the situation and assured us that it would be taken care of to our satisfaction. He was true to his word. Even Mr. Jacobs arrived first thing the next morning to look at the problem and assure us that they would make things right. This speaks volumes to the level of commitment of Barron & Jacobs to provide quality work and service to their clients.

Special thanks to Jimmy for his efforts to keep our floors and carpets clean during the project and most of all for doing the initial cleaning of our new windows. We just want him to know he can come back anytime and do the windows again if he needs practice!

In closing we want to say again how much we love our beautiful new space. This was without a doubt the best experience we have ever had with a remodeling project and we are thankful we chose Barron & Jacobs. Your skilled craftsman, team work approach, level of commitment and responsiveness to your clients give you the ability to provide the high quality of service that we received … don’t change a thing.

We won’t hesitate to call you again when we are ready to have additional work done. We have and will continue to recommend Barron & Jacobs to anyone who wants to listen!

Justine and I wanted to touch base with you and the crew to tell you how pleased we are with our newly remodeled kitchen and sunroom addition. The project has gotten rave reviews from our family and friends. As a retired Project Engineer from Pratt & Whitney Division of UTC I was initially apprehensive about undertaking a project of this scope because of bad experiences others have had with this kind of work. My fears were soon relieved as the design phase and technical discussions progressed. As construction commenced, I was very impressed with the quality of the work, selection of materials, selection of suppliers and excellence of the sub-contractors. As the project progressed, several extras were added at my request at no additional cost.

Our Project Manager, David Paulsen, is a true craftsman and a very meticulous worker (I thought I was fussy). I learned a lot from Dave about how things are done and the right way to do them. From the pouring of the sunroom footings, coordination the sub-contractors and to the installation of the finish trim work Dave can do it all. Dave was at the job site every day and even worked some Saturdays to keep on schedule. The work area was always kept clean and the inconveniences to our every day life were minimal. As the project progressed, Dave and his very able assistants Rich and Tom soon became like family to us and we looked forward to seeing them each day.

We feel very fortunate to have selected Barron & Jacobs for our project and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

Dear Barron & Jacobs, Diane and I just wanted to thank all of the people involved in our renovation project for an exceptional job. Given the scope and amount of money involved to complete the project, we were on the fence as to whether or not to do it. We couldn’t be happier with the results. The quality of work and attention to detail was top notch. We also appreciated being able to make small changes to things, as needed, to make it all come together.

Everyone went out of their way to make life as close to normal as possible during the project. Even our shy cat got used to having strangers around each day. There were no major glitches to speak of, and those small ones were handled as quickly as possible to everyone’s satisfaction. It was quite interesting to see how the whole thing comes together in the end.

We will certainly recommend y our services to any of our friends who are considering a remodel. If any potential clients want to see the work you did at our home, please let us know. We would be happy to show them your fine work.
