REVIEWS

“Jim and his team at East Branch are absolutely top notch! I hired them for a major renovation of our ski condo. It was almost a complete rebuild. Their workmanship, the fit and finishes, and their attention to detail were superb. They were all an absolute pleasure to work with! Jim and team earned so much of my confidence that the project felt entirely stress free and even enjoyable. Nobody steps foot into my condo without commenting on the impressive workmanship.

Further, and almost as important, Jim has always been available to me for special requests, several years after completion. This is a winter ski house, so we're rarely there during the "off-season". But whenever I have a question or concern, Jim responds immediately and never hesitates to go to the condo in my absence to address anything requested of him. I feel very lucky that I was able to retain East Branch. My only advice is to lock them up early as I hear they can book out several years in advance! ”

“We started working with Jim and East Branch Builders more than a dozen years ago, having bought a home they built in North Woodstock. They are excellent builders, both high quality and on-time. I’ve done multiple projects with them since, including both significant renovations and minor improvements. They always show ownership, responsibility, and accountability with regards to the projects. Most importantly, they are great people – honest and high integrity. I fully trust their recommendations and expertise – and would highly recommend them without hesitation.”

“We used East Branch Builders to completely renovate 2 of our condos in the last 5 years. During both renovations, Jim and his team were extremely responsive to any questions and concerns we had. They also had extremely helpful suggestions on how to best utilize the small amount of space we have in each condo. The quality of craftsmanship they provided was top-notch. We couldn't be happier with the final result of each condo. Both of these projects came in on time and on budget. I highly recommend using East Branch Builders.”

“Each Branch Builders went over and above building the two lodges at Arrowhead in Bethlehem. Coupled with professional and responsive subcontractors, the staff and field personnel were focused on details and making certain that we were please with the final product. Mission accomplished!”

Bradley L.

“I consider myself lucky to have found East Branch Builders. We were looking to convert two garage spaces into recreational living spaces and update other existing living space. Throughout the process Jim and Dave were great sounding boards and advisors. They completed our project on time, on budget, with high quality, and with tremendous attention to detail. In the North Country, superior craftsmanship and reliability are worth their weight in gold. East Branch Builders will be my go-to team for any future projects we may embark upon.”

Anne T.

“East Branch Builders helped us create a wonderful ski condo. Jim and his team gutted a decrepit, poorly laid out condo, and suggested where to bump out walls, enclose porches, and take other steps to expand our floor plan and significantly improve the aesthetics and function. Jim and his team worked extremely hard, were very responsive, and finished on time. They are professional, motivated, accountable, and personable--a complete pleasure to work with. In fact, the condo owners on either side of us engaged East Branch to gut and rebuild their respective units after the owners toured our home. Thank you!”

Beth H.

“We recently completed a full gut renovation of our slope-side condo and had an absolutely outstanding experience working with Jim Martin and his team at East Branch Builders. Having worked with other builders on past projects, we can confidently say that this was by far the smoothest, most stress-free process we’ve ever had.
Jim and his team, including all his subs, were a true pleasure to work with. They were not only highly professional, but also incredibly neat, respectful of our space, and most importantly, extremely responsive to any questions or concerns we had along the way.

The experience was so positive that we made the decision to build a new home, and we only moved forward with the project because East Branch Builders could build it for us. We can’t recommend East Brand Builders highly enough!!”

Igor B.

“We decided to build our dream house in Woodstock and to move there permanently from out of state. We did not know anybody in town but knew that key to success was having a good builder. From the moment we met Jim and Dave, we knew we made the right choice. Jim and Dave were with us from design process to finish.

Being in construction for over 30 years, I can honestly say, that I never had better builder/client relationship. Honesty, integrity and attention to detail were second to none.

We now have our dream house. And not only that. We have new friends in town. We know that if there is anything wrong with the house, guys from East Branch Builders are there for us to help.”
