Testimonials:

Dear Jake, we want you to know how pleased we are with our completed project which consisted of a kitchen addition to provide an open floor plan, a new deck and changes to the house facade as well as much needed new roofing and siding.

Our first contact at Barron & Jacobs was with Kelly. We explained our frustrations at not being able to reach a satisfactory solution with previous design attempts. Kelly’s personality and confidence in being able to find a solution for us convinced us to enter the design phase. When Kevin and Kelly presented the proposed design complete with computer renderings all within budget, it seemed like the answer to our dreams – and that is what the end result has become. We appreciate Kelly’s design as well as his work during the project on the permitting process, help in choosing materials, being a financial manager and for his patience, understanding and flexibility in working with us to make decisions.

The success of the construction was in large part due to Dave, our Construction Manager. Dave was a perfect match for us and was a pleasure to watch and work with for the length of the project. He did a great job of coordinating the project and is a highly skilled craftsman who was able to find solutions for some aspects of the work that were technically difficult. His professionalism and patience in working with us were most appreciated. The construction project was completed within the projected time. Dave had help from Tom, Rick and Robert and a second Tom. Each was very personable and brought his unique skills to the job site.

We appreciate the decision-making and coordinating done by Chris as General Manager of Construction as well as his suggestions for materials and design details. Thanks too, to Sandy, for accurately processing the invoices and the nice touch of a “Thank you” on each.

Barron & Jacobs also did well in selecting the many subcontractors who worked on our project. All were personable and skilled in their trade. To single out two: the drywall contractor helped us make our decision on ceiling texture by inviting us to his and his brother’s houses to see several textured ceilings. The siding contractor was exceptionally skilled at his work and was helpful in showing us options to achieve the desired effects.

We love our new space and the new look of the house. This accomplishment was a very positive experience for us and we are thankful that we chose Barron & Jacobs for the design and construction. We were constantly reminded that Barron & Jacobs was there to satisfy us.

Please feel free to use us as a reference for your outstanding services and personnel. It’s a pleasure to do business with a firm that adheres to the, now unusual, idea that a service business exists to please the customer as well as offer an excellent product.

Thank you for a job superbly done.

Dear Kevin, it all started when we first met you at the Home Show in Hartford, CT a little over a year ago. Never did we dream that our porch could be transformed into a room that looks as if it were a part of the original architecture of our home and yet have the modern conveniences of a new room with the best of windows, floor tile design, and entrance into our home. We are able to use the room far more than we were able to use it prior to the improvement. Our neighbors, friends and guests all comment on how the room adds so much to our home.

The best part of all was the professionalism of the Barron & Jacobs team who made it all happen. It was your initial design that made us so excited about what could happen. It was artisanship of Thomas in designing the tile on the floor, the attention to detail to the point that everything was custom built on site so as to match the design of the rest of the house, the commitment to a clean work area at the end of the day, the sensitivity to our personal schedule, caring for our cat with the same attention as if it were their own pet, the concern for the safe removal of the squirrels that were living in the eaves on our walkway and the on the spot ideas along the way that resulted in a more livable room.

It was a very pleasant experience and we are excited with the end result. We would highly recommend Barron & Jacobs. Again, we want to single out Thomas for a job very well done. Thank you Barron & Jacobs!!

Dear Jake, Just a belated note to tell you how pleased we are with the kitchen renovation that your firm handled. Everyone was very professional and Tom Dadmun was outstanding as a support system for us. He was there whenever we needed him and endlessly patient – going over our choices, offering suggestions and bringing us around to all the suppliers and showrooms. Any concerns we had were promptly addressed to our satisfaction. We particularly appreciate all the time and effort Greg Irwin put in as Project Manager – he was punctual, professional and respectful of our property.

We’re so glad we chose you guys. We’re planning further renovations and of course we’ll call you when we’re ready to jump in again. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Barron & Jacobs and in fact have already done so. Thanks for everything.

Dear Kevin, Lucille and I want to express our appreciation for the excellent work of you and your company in designing and constructing our new entry way. Your creativity and attention to detail provided us with an aesthetically pleasing structure with which we have been so pleased. The outstanding craftsmanship of your carpenters, Fran and Tom, brought your ideas to life with absolute perfection. We especially appreciated the fact that the entire job was completed within budget and on schedule. Thank you very much.

Dear Kevin, this is just a note to thank you and the staff at Barron & Jacobs for the excellent work on our house.

We had a problem with our front porch that bothered us over the years – the lack of any overhand or other covering over our front door and porch. We talked with other architects and contractors about the problem, but none had a solution that was satisfactory to us.

Barron & Jacobs solved our problem. You analyzed our situation and came up with a design for a portico for our front porch that was both architecturally pleasing and functional.

Your construction people did an outstanding job on the construction of the portico from start to finish. There are no unfinished details which is always a mark of a good builder. You brought in the final cost of the job right on estimates. Having design and construction capability under the same roof was a real plus. We have received numerous compliments on our “new” front porch.

Again, our thanks to you and the staff at Barron & Jacobs.

Dear Kelly and Chris, we wanted to let you and everyone at Barron & Jacobs know how happy we are with our new attic home office. The project turned out beautifully, giving Shawn a great new work space in our home and drawing big compliments from everyone who has come over to see it.

We were really pleased with our entire experience with Barron & Jacobs. The renovation was amazingly non-disruptive and we really appreciated your commitment to being on time and your consistent communication throughout the project. The project had very few glitches, but any that did come up were dealt with promptly and professionally, so that they caused virtually no delays. Everyone who worked here was really professional and pleasant and we were happy to have them in our home.

We thank you for a job very well done, and would be glad to show our new office to anyone considering such a project. We would – and will – recommend Barron & Jacobs very enthusiastically.

Dear Kevin, I hope at some point in time you’ll come by and see the finished project. I continue to get ooohs and aaahs when anyone sees the house for the first time. Short of a few changes in drawer configuration in the kitchen (only working in this bigger kitchen made me realize that) I can’t think of anything I would change about the entire project.

You guys are the best! I hope you’ll feel comfortable using Mal or me as a reference at any time.

Dear Jake, until recently I believed that the home renovation process was expensive, stressful and messy and having workmen in my home would make my life hectic. You can imagine then, how pleased and impressed I was with the thoughtful professionals that you sent to modernize my kitchen.

I could not have asked for a more patient gentleman than Fran. He treated me respectfully and with great courtesy. I was impressed at how proud Chris, Fran and Jim were to be a part of Barron & Jacobs and that pride was evident in their workmanship. The entire project was complete within my budget.

The impressive style in which you handled my renovation – from pricing to installation – will bring me back to you in the future. I am a very satisfied customer.

Dear Jake, I wish to offer you my heartfelt thanks for your help with my kitchen remodeling. How fortunate for me that you have such wonderful connections in the wholesale market and are willing to pass those wholesale prices on to me.

I could not be more delighted with the outcome of my project and look forward to showing off these improvements when my family comes for Thanksgiving next month.

Perched on a terrace overlooking a bit of the Connecticut river valley, with unobstructed views of the Mt. Tom and Mt. Holyoke ranges, is a beautifully crafted hexagonal screen porch. Rustic inside with beautiful woods, it blends perfectly outside with the original whitewashed brick 75 year old Georgian style house.

We are most grateful to the skills of the craftsmen who made the ideas become a reality, and most grateful to Barron & Jacobs for organizing everything. Our new porch will provide countless hours of enjoyment, thanks to you! It is precisely what we wanted!
