After several years of living through small renovations, we decided to completely gut and renovate our 1896 home. Given that it is an older home that has been in our family for many years, we wanted to ensure that we found the right builder to restore it with care and shared vision. We interviewed several builders prior to making our decision. We are SO happy that we decided to go with Jason and Oak Ridge Custom Homes. From the very beginning, Jason's responsiveness, attention to detail and organizational skills put us at ease. We did not have to call to check in on progress or status because he contacted us nearly every day to keep us informed at each stage of the project. As busy people (moving, working and pregnant), this gesture was so significant in alleviating stress and allowing us to enjoy the process.
The project involved gutting and transforming all three floors, (insulating, drywall, flooring, all new electrical, plumbing, HVAC, basement waterproofing and all finishes). The tradespeople working with Jason were always pleasant, respectful and highly skilled. they had to work around us at the completion of the project because we had a baby and had to move back in and they were careful to value our space and keep the intrusion to a minimum. The finished product is absolutely stunning, the "before and afters" astonishing. Jason has managed to give us all the comforts and beauty of a new house while maintaining the traditon of this 100 year old home. It's bright, spacious and the work is of high quality. We have gotten a lot of favourable feedback from friends about the custom elements of the home and the beautiful trimwork. We are unbelievably pleased with how things turned out and have no regrets. Overall, working with Jason and his team was akin to working with a very good friend. He was easy-going and professional- we trusted him a great deal and he kept on task and budget. He was very fair, helpful and thoughtful. When small problems came up, he addressed them immediately, shielding us from any undue stress or worry. Jason made sure we were completely satisfied upon completion. We enjoyed the process and are thrilled with our new space to enjoy and to raise our new family in. Thank you!!
