PERRY Building and Restoration, LLC

I recently bought an old farmhouse in Southern Maine. The house has stunning character but had not be kept up in the past few years. There had been several changes to the property that drastically took away from the period and charm of the old house. Very shortly after buying I set up a meeting with Justin to discuss our plan to update the house and re highlight the charm while understanding that not everything can be done at once. It is an old house and there will forever be projects. At the meeting, Justin completely understood my vision and offered great suggestions on how to divide and conquer the endless project list while doing projects that only worked towards the completed goals. He is clearly passionate about older homes and returning them to their glory. This passion also applies to any project he puts his name on. We tackled a huge variety of projects over the past year. We demolished an older addition, gutted two bathrooms, installed a media room/living room, removed vinyl siding, restored and painted the clapboard siding, repaired the roof and more. Justin seamlessly oversaw all aspects of the projects and subcontractors. This house is a weekend home for me and I could not be available whenever an issue arose or a decision needed to be made. Justin was extremely organized and flexible around the times I could meet. He was great at communicating via phone and email as problems came up or things needed to be discussed and the whole projects remained on time and relatively on budget. I have many more projects coming up over the next several years and will be using Perry Building and Restoration.

We engaged Justin and his team to renovate our 1867 kitchen and adjacent family room. He and his team were great to work with. When problems came up (as they do in old houses) he always had a suggested solution and we were able to come up with great strategies to move forward. His crew kept the site impeccably organized and clean and are really great knowledgeable guys. Our end product was exactly how we envisioned it. We look forward to working with Justin and his team again in the future.

We’ve worked with Justin on three projects over the past several years at our early 19th C. Cape-style home and I look forward to working with he and his crew again. We can highly recommend them for renovation and restoration projects. Our experiences with Justin have been fantastic - he is professional and collaborative - always willing to share thoughts about alternative materials, approaches, etc. He is always honest and upfront about cost and schedule. His crew has always exemplified a commitment to craftsmanship, attention to detail, and quality construction. The level of detailing and finish they’ve brought to our projects has been impressive. Throughout the lifecycle of each project, Perry Building and Restoration is great to work with. Justin takes the time to thoroughly visit the site, listen to what his clients want, develop a detailed proposal, and make adjustment as needed based on our feedback. During the work, Justin personally inspected the work each day and his crew has always respectful of our property and needs during occupied renovation projects. Further, billing has always been clear and thorough - with supporting documentation for all project expenses. Whenever minor discrepancies arose - they were handled quickly. Punchlist items have always been attended to swiftly - ensuring every projected turned out beautifully. It is not an exaggeration to say that the projects Perry Building and Restoration LLC have completed at our house are the most enjoyable spaces in our house!

Justin Perry is an AWESOME general contractor to work with! No exceptions or reservations. I cannot imaging a better person to work with for a remodel or restoration project. Our experience in working with Justin was positive, professional, and collaborative...AND the project was completed on time and close to the projected budget! Justin was recommended to us by our designer, Deb Randall. We were interested in weighing options for remodeling our existing home vs building a new home. In the end, with patient and knowledgable guidance from Justin and Deb we decided to invest in the remodel. The project included repurposing space in the basement to create a mud room/studio, a complete first floor remodel (including a new kitchen), the addition of support beams to replace support walls, new front porch with portico, and adding central air and additional heating. Justin did an amazing job coordinating sub-contractors for tile work, hardwood, AC, gas fireplace, plumbing, electrical, etc. All the subs were just as professional as Justin. They were careful to clean up each day and were attentive to the fact we chose to remain in our house throughout the construction. Most importantly, the quality of work was outstanding! I have dreamed about this project for many years, so it was important to me that it be done right. Considering the scale of the project, I was astonished that we got to the final punch list with only two very minor items to be addressed-and they were taken care of in a timely manor and without hassle. This is because Justin was so diligent about the sub-contractors he hired, and his careful monitoring of their work, that most issue (always minor) were taken care of immediately, The craftsmanship and attention to detail was exceptional! Both Deb and Justin offered great ideas to help us meet our goals and to work within our budget. The design process was very beneficial in helping us hone in on the elements that were most important to us without getting too trendy or over the top. They were honest, communicative, and most of all we truly felt they were looking out for our best interest. Justing even met with us on Saturdays and Sundays (because it fit our schedules) to discuss updates and decisions as the project progressed. Although, I am pretty sure we won't be in the market for a remodel project for a long time, I would not hesitate for a second in hiring Justin again. He and his team (including Deb) were truly a delight to work with. It almost felt like we were losing a friend when the project was complete!
