Dear team at Barron & Jacobs,

We so appreciate your fine craftmanship, pride in your work and friendly presence – both working on our front porch to make it three-season and giving my husband great recommendations for a plumber, tilers and a mason. We are very grateful and recommend you often. Wishing you and yours a very happy holiday season!

Dear Jake, even though our remodeling and addition project is not yet finished, I want to take a moment and tell you how pleased Doug and I have been so far with the way the project has progressed: Since we first met with you Jake and took this step to go ahead with an addition we had for several years envisioned, both of us felt a connection and sense that this was a “meant to be” opportunity. From the day you rolled out your drawing of the ideas we had shared with you, and I nearly jumped with joy in seeing that you captured so much of what we hoped for, which showed us how astutely you heard our needs, wants, and our dreams, we have never once had any second thoughts about our decision to put our home into your company’s hands. Not to minimize the disruption this type of remodeling and addition project causes, but considering that we are at present living in quite a bit of chaos (actually organized chaos), we are managing well and things are flowing quite smoothly.

One major reason that our project is progressing as smoothly as it is, is because of your wonderful crew! I cannot begin to tell you what talented, professional, pleasant workers John, Brian, George, Chris and Glen are. (Though Glen was here only for a few days we are looking forward to having him back soon to do the finish work.) I have total confidence in John Guz, our Project Manager. Knowing John is in charge relieves me of worries or concerns I might otherwise have. He listens to my questions and comments and never makes me feel as if I am bothering him. He has a quiet, thoughtful way of managing, observing and making sure all goes according to plan. He is able to not only see the big picture but pays attention to details that might otherwise be missed. As the manager he maintains a comfortable and calm working environment amidst the sound of saws, hammers, etc. and to our benefit that makes for a happy group of workers. There has not been a day when we thought that more could have been accomplished. Each day continues to demonstrate how well these men work together. They know what their strengths are and each one has added his own special way of bringing his talent to our house.

All members of Barron & Jacobs work as a team. Every concern we have voiced, whether in person or over the phone, was quickly addressed and a solution presented. Waiting for something to be done never even came close to an unreasonable amount of time. Kathy is always pleasant when she answers the phone and , as busy as Jake is between all his projects, when we need to speak with him he is there for us. I know that we are just over the half way point of our addition and remodeling, but if the second half goes as well as the first half has, I will feel truly blessed with an experience and connection that will not only have enhanced our newly redone home, but made the process of getting there an enjoyable adventure. Thank you for everyone’s efforts so far…

Thanks Jake for designing and building for us a lovely three-season room. We were impressed that it could be done with our mixed roof lines. We appreciated the fact that it was all hand built and customized to our requests including the special windows. We appreciated the fact that you stayed within budget of what was quoted, except of course, for the add-ons we chose. We have been enjoying our three-season room all summer and hope to be out here on many fall days as well.

Chris, Brian and George were a great team of builders – following the plans and letting us know in advance what changes had to be made for design purposes. They were very precise, very neat and cleaned up each evening before leaving and just nice people to have around.

We would be happy to recommend your work and feel confident you would do a great job for them.
