My wife and I hired BRJ Builders to perform a near gut renovation on our VT cabin after it suffered a catastrophic water leak. After a terrible experience during a previous renovation, we were wary of going through the whole process again. My wife and I are delighted to report that Ben John exceeded even our highest hopes. From the beginning, his communication was prompt, clear, and organized. He was upfront and honest when there were a couple inevitable delays in procuring material and finding qualified subcontractors. It was clear that Ben John held all his subcontractors to exacting standards, as they were all reliable and did excellent work. What stood out most about Ben John was his ...Read More

We were very pleased with the Gazebo project completed by BRJ Builders Team. They were hard working, detail focused and genuinely good craftsmen to work with. Their Project manager was a good communicator and managed our expectations with grace and good humor. We would not hesitate in giving a high recommendation to anyone considering a project with them. An all around good experience.Read More

There's an old saying about competent carpentry; 'Measure twice, cut once.' The care with which BRJ Builders executes a project is galaxies beyond that. It is obvious that Ben John, owner of BRJ, is sincerely interested in saving money for his customers while providing first-class work. For example, I thought maybe power-washing the asphalt shingles of the roof would be a good idea. Ben advised not to do that, as it could shorten the life of the shingles. Hundreds of dollars saved right there - plus putting off by years the need to spend big bucks on a new roof! I was thinking of buying a new screen door, but Ben said it is in good shape - now, with a little attention, it looks/works like ...Read More

I had my bathroom gutted and remodeled, original quote was 22,000, job came in at 44, 000, because they found all the foundation was rotted, They were great, explained every step of the way. They had many problems personally while on the job, foreman was in an accident, one worker was diagnosed with cancer, but they didn't stop my job. The job was suppose to last 2-3 weeks, it lasted almost 3 months. We became family they said. I did have a small hick up with communication, but Ben called and we were able to settle it. Highly recommend.Read More

Well, I thought I wanted a skylight, but I’m so glad I went full Monty with a shed dormer that extended from roof ridge to below the existent knee wall with three Pella windows to accent the three screened bays of the open porch below. The cherry on top was the darling 20” pent roof over the porch directly below and parallel to the dormer overhang. BRJ Builders matched IKO architectural roofing tiles and rounded eaves that turned my cabin-y home to a modern-day wonder. In the end, it looked like that dormer had been there forever. This team was neat, efficient, intelligent, and I got charged less than the original estimate detailed in the contract! Ben (the ‘B’ in the BRJ) listens to a homeo...Read More
