We worked with Chris for two years on a major remodel, so we got to know him and his crew very…read morewell. For our project we replaced the foundation and rebuilt our entire basement, coverting it to an additional floor. Our house went from a 2 bedroom 1 bath to a 5 bedroom 3 bath with an additional large family room. We worked very closely with Chris Burnham and his superintendent, Chris Donatelli, during the entire process. First off, Chris gives realistic expectations regarding budget, time estimates, and potential problems or issues that might come up during construction. Some other contractors under-bid to try to get business. Also more inexperienced contractors don't anticipate all of the potential problems that can arise during construction. Chris is respectful of your budget but honest about what to expect in terms of budget and time estimates. Chris and his crew were always professional, prepared, and on time. During the remodel they worked very hard to help turn our vision into a reality. Our intention was to create a seamless flow from one floor to the other and make the remodel look as close to the original 1920's construction as possible. It was therefore necessary to hire carpenters, brick workers, and other skilled craftsman for the remodel. Chris only hired the best people, so we know that every element of the remodel from plumbing to carpentry was done to the highest standards. Chris is a perfectionist and has pride in his work. He made sure everything was done correctly, and fixed things without prompting that we did not have the expertise to notice. We moved out for 6 months of the remodel and had to move back in before construction was completed. He was extremely accommodating and went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable. On the rare occasions that there was an issue with water or heating, he came on nights and weekends to fix the problem. He even came on a weekend to let us into our house with the spare key when we locked ourselves out of our house one day! Chris did not disappear toward the end of the remodel and made sure to complete everything on the "punch list". He has even come to fix the occasional issue or problem months after the construction. The best part is that he doesn't do it grudgingly- he has true pride in his work and wants his clients to be happy with the finished product. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Chris Burnham, Chris Donatelli, and his whole crew. They have the talent and experience to carry off any type of construction project out there, no matter how complicated. If you hire them you will not regret it!

Josh is a great salesman and my confidence was never higher in his team's work than when he was…read morearound. At the end of the day, I am really happy with the quality of 90% of the work, which is why I'm giving 4 stars. I think underlying Covid-related problems caused most of the grief in our 2021 kitchen remodel: supply chain issues & illnesses causing delays that chain-reacted to stretch a 3-month timeline to 6 months, plus Josh's workload was double of normal with the same number of subs because all his 2020 jobs had been paused and came back ready to resume earlier than expected. I was accordingly understanding, but I still felt like we often got deprioritized as clients-- maybe because I wasn't calling to yell at him, like I overheard once. I almost tried to pitch my project management services to help him manage! We also had a stickler inspector who asked us to expand the scope of the initial project beyond what we budgeted or that Josh wanted to make time for (to rewire the rest of the house vs. just the kitchen). Despite (or because of) these external problems, Josh struggled with managing our expectations/communications. He knew we were first-time renovators who don't know when to ask questions vs. wait to see how it turns out. I am also a project manager in another field, so I love context and details. He seemed defensive and frustrated with us at times despite us trying to be as patient as we could be. I'm sure we weren't perfect clients, but we were trying to be really easygoing about it. Quality-wise: I love just about everything but the paint, which was sloppy in many places and in some cases peeled less than a year later (I suspect it wasn't sanded/prepped properly). I was also disappointed in the visual execution of the plumbing (it works fine), which Josh told me would not be plumbed on the exterior of the house, but was anyway. Plumbers also forgot to add an exterior water spigot but after the 3rd reminder, I gave up. The "construction cleaners" Josh hired to wrap did an okay first-pass on the dust and small debris, but it wasn't really livable until I did my own second pass, then hired another cleaner to do a third-pass deep clean. We also made the classic first-timer mistake of sending the final check before the last punch-list was ever complete. For a few months Josh kept saying "oh yeah I'll be by to take care of that next week" until we gave up and DIY'd a few finishing details and got rid of stuff the crew left behind. None of it was too complicated and it doesn't kill us to practice these skills: quarter round moulding for one wall of the floor, a couple gaps to close between cabinet and wall, capping the old sink pipe, caulking the sink fixtures, and paint touchups throughout. I hope I *never* need to do this extensive of a remodel again (at least not while I'm living in the guest room downstairs!). But if I do, because of the overall quality I would give Josh the benefit of the doubt on those extenuating circumstances.

I already knew he had a great reputation (via personal referral from a former RWC building staffer). Tim and his crew are very professional, easy to work with, and the results are functional, beautiful, and they keep the areas they work in clean. They are also sensitive to environmental concerns in recycling and reusing wherever possible. I also really like that this is a family-run, local company and Tim in particular is extremely easy to communicate with. He is very good at following up, paying attention to detail, offering pertinent advice that helped me make better decisions and save money, etc. Everyone who has seen his work in my home admires it a lot and I would highly recommend him (I would definitely use him again for any future projects). P.S.: I also got great help from Rose Garretson on not only helping me select some beautiful tile and stone, but actually designing the look of my shower stall for a "customized" look and feel.
