I hired Barnes Custom Builders to remodel 2 full bathrooms plus some other updates. Overall, a…read morefrustrating experience. At my request, the bathrooms were done one at a time, but it took them about 10 months to finish both. Many days went by without any work and when a sub finally shows up, they usually didn't finish the job or made mistakes. You're paying Barnes to manage the project for you, but they usually don't bother checking the work in detail. A lot of work had to be fixed or redone which added months of delays. You try to call them (Jim, Charlie, Chris), and they just lie about when they'll finish the job or lie about calling me back. Charlie, the owner, kept blaming the lack of progress on me for breaking the job in two and was rude. At the end of the day, the job got done, but it wasn't a positive experience, and I would look at other companies before hiring this one.

The three of us are on the same national, industry-specific business owners roundtable and because of that group I was able to learn a great deal about the company and what makes them tick. Their approach is fresh and kind and clearly serves their clients well. Their commitment to creating a happy and healthy work environment is unusual in our industry but speaks volumes about their long-term commitment to the industry and the community their company serves. Hiring them would be a very good idea!

Funny story about this place. So in the 90's there was a barn sales lot on RT112 in Medford…read more Your probably asking yourself, What the heck is a barn anyway? One doesn't "Need" a barn and what does one even put in a barn?? Is it like a Silo? Does one store corn or grain?? Man, you are just filled with questions! I live in Long Island and work in NYC. In the 90's I built a house. Wait, I more like GC's my house. I hired a plumber, a painter, a sheet rock guy and we all built this thing together. Kinda like a collaboration, where all I did was swing a hammer and paid everyone. Well, I need a place for my car. My house is on a hill so I want a detected garage. I call my builder and there is a structure that was built probably in 1930. Well to tear it down and build a one car garage, 30K. 30K?? What that hell man! So I drive by this place on 112 and I see a huge barn! I mean this sucka has a loft!! Car on the bottom and a man cave loft on top to play cards with my buddies and smoke stogies, yes!!! I walk into the place and the salesperson is Amish. I tell him I want the barn with the loft! He says, well you have to have a permit from the Stony Brook historic center before I can come. Oh, Hogwash. Here is cash. I'll have the area cleared for this sucka. Here you go. Sir, I can not sell you the most expensive barn on my lot without a permit. Are we in New York????? I'm all bummed and I drive by "Gera Gardens" . They sell sheds, swing sets and barns! I find a nice single car barn with double doors (No loft) I'm thinking I'll be like Batman and bash thru the doors when I want to drive my car. haha Very reasonably priced, I had the old structure torn down. I bought some gravel and had it all graded for my new garage/barn. The truck driver comes down my block. They put down some platform for the barn to rest on, then it was the coolest thing ever, the barn was on this huge "swing arm" and was rested on the platform. Dealing with GG was not a hassle, they sell all sizes of barns, sheds, swings, kids swing sets. My barn has been standing for over 15 years. GG sells a quality product

They were getting stripped and would no longer open. I originally had a Master Carpenter look at them, and his estimate involved a great deal more work than what Scott ended up doing to fix them, keeping the cost down and still repairing them with much less disturbence to the windows frames etc. We originally hired Scott for our roof. He did a wonderful job. again, keeping costs down if he could, though alway consulting us about options. There hasn't been a job too small or too large yet. It's great to have him on the job!

Scott was one of very few roofers who responded to our calls, gave us the best quote, and pushed hard to get a big job done (it's a ranch house with a lot of roof) while the weather held. What really sold us on APR, though, was how obviously Scott knows what he's doing and how meticulously he applies his knowledge to his work. He knew all the pros, cons, and technical characteristics of the materials we considered, diagnosed problems we didn't know were there, worked with us to keep the costs down, and was open and honest in all his dealings with us. And - oh, yeah - the roof looks great. There's never any guarantee with ice damming, of course, but we are confident that Scott has given us the best possible shot at keeping the water outdoors this winter.

They designed a great Barn, but it was really up to me to organize and do the rest. They were zero help with permitting process. I found the excavator and concrete people.

I cant count how many times I called to ask 'are you guys coming today?' Not to mention ZERO plan or schedule. It just gets built when it gets built....I just wouldn't waste your time with this company. The barn is finally done, and it functions well - but the juice was not worth the squeeze. I would have gone with someone else.

Since I moved into my…read morehouse 6 years ago, replacing the entry door has been the looming project that never made it past the planning stages. This is partly due to the door being a 7' door which is an odd size, replacement options are limited and hard to find. The other factor is that, being a handy man, I needed someone who I felt was capable of doing the job better than me. It was also important that whoever I hired would put the care into the job that I would. I had several contractors scope the job and I either didn't get the impression they knew what they were doing or they were so far beyond my budget it was ridiculous There are a TON of crappy contractors out there, unfortunately I've hired many of them. Brewster Remodeling "nailed" it. Paul scoped out the job and I was impressed with his professionalism, knowledge and fair pricing, he's also a really nice and funny guy. We talked about framing down the raw opening so I could get a 6' 8" door and Paul was all over it, no problem at all. Over a few weeks of back and forth phone calls regarding part numbers for the doors etc, we got the doors ordered and set up a date for the install. They were here on-time, worked fast and were ridiculously clean throughout the entire install, I mean my steps and my foyer were cleaner than they've ever been. They finished up in a day and a half and I couldn't be happier with the finished product. They did a fantastic job and I'll certainly be hiring them again in the future. Brewster Remodeling is professional, clean, quick, smart, courteous and conscious of quality. As Paul said during the estimate "we keep the overhead low and the quality high". Nice work.

The men are so highly skilled. We continue to be happy with our beautiful deck. Therefore, we asked Ruy to install a Timberteck stair rail at our front doors, which also has withstood the test of time. We'd been concerned that installments like this would compromise the brick, whereby requiring a total rebuild, but a rebuild wasn't necessary. He also advise us on an easy and effective fix to divert water from flowing from the gutter and freezing to ice on those brick steps in winter. Based on the outcome of these projects, and our experience in their progression, we highly recommend this company.

Brutal experience with them back in 2022-2024. Would take weeks and, more than once, even months…read moreto get them to come back and do any work (see screenshots of my text interactions with them -- note the dates). They were supposed to build a new rubber roof. It started leaking on 3 separate occasions (which btw was never fully fixed -- we moved on to different contractors who did address the issues). And like I said, it would take months for them to actually come back and attempt to fix anything. Often they'd come by, look at the damage, then I wouldn't hear from them for multiple weeks. Meanwhile, more damage continues to accrue to the walls and ceilings. The internal fixes they applied for the water damage were just patch jobs. They just plastered and painted over. Meanwhile, the insulation behind the wall was soaked and accrued black mold that we had to address later. Also worth pointing out a major blunder at the beginning of the project (see attached videos and pics). They opened up the roof, and left it open for multiple days without doing any work. Well of course a major rainstorm came by (which was on the weather forecast well in advance). Alll that water poured into the house in the middle of the night setting off fire alarms. It was a nightmare to deal with on my end.
