J R LeFaivre Construction Co

Well, we’re not done yet. But we’ve started our own personal version of extreme home makeover, and so far, everything has been going great with LeFaivre.
They told us we didn’t need an architect — that as a design/​build firm they could accomplish what we wanted for a lot less than using a separate architect and builder. I was a bit skeptical at first. We weren’t just redoing a bathroom — we were doing a total house overhaul. But brothers Matt and Drew have since convinced me. They did a great job working through all the design tradeoffs with us, with a realistic perspective on what those tradeoffs were doing to the project cost.
Now that construction has begun in earnest, everything is still progressing nicely. On-​site lead Andy does the work of 2 or 3 normal construction guys, without compromising on quality, and while maintaining a gracious go-​the-​extra-​mile attitude.
Everyone I know has had nothing but misery in trying to find a good contractor — dealing with surprise price increases, broken appointments, blown off schedules, blatant lies, shoddy workmanship, etc. We’ve had none of that with LeFaivre … and so far, there’s no reason to think that we ever will.
If anything changes by the end of the project, we’ll update the review, but so far: Highly Recommended.
