Cairn Building and Renovation

Made an appointment for an estimate, never showed up or called. Phone did not answer.

I couldn't have hoped for anything or anyone better, unless of course they worked for free. We are still in the thick of it but can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Ben is a remarkable, personable professional who gets right back to me, call, text or email. He sends pics from the worksite. If you are looking for a contractor in the midcoast area, you'd be crazy not to talk to Ben.

.

Ben and crew exhibited great professionalism in describing and estimating work to be done, completing work as described in a reasonable amount of time, and cleaning up after job was finished. During the process, communications were excellent by keeping me informed on progress. While replacing timber over door, he discovered a second timber that was rotted and needed to be replaced. The extra work and materials had not been included in the original estimate. Despite this, the final cost was below the original estimate. Overall he did a great job on a timely basis and at a cost below estimate. I'd highly recommend Cairn Building and renovation!

I cant imagine using anyone else for future projects. Although the cost was a little on the high side the care Ben and his crew took was excellent. Each task was performed with skill and dedication to detail. Moreover, unlike other contractors I have dealt with, communication with Ben was excellent: he was always responsive and always lived up to his commitments. I found Cairn on Angie's List and am very glad I did.

Very well. Ben was remarkably thoughtful about letting me know about changes in schedule, when he would be here and when he needed to be elsewhere, so I never felt as if I had to and quot;chase him down,and quot; as has been the case with other contractors. Also, I have an owner-built house from the late 1970's, with nothing square and very little built according to conventional construction techniques. Ben was more interested than appalled by the challenges, and did a really nice job coming up with solutions that worked with the house.

The whole process went better than I had hoped it would Ben, the general contractor, is punctual, responsive, honest and an incredibly talented builder. Whenever we set up times to meet, he was always on time (usually a little early). I received updates via text message or phone call just about everyday outlining work that had been done and what I could expect in days to follow. He has built a network of professional, experienced and courteous subcontractors that reflected Ben's work ethic throughout the duration of the project. His superior craftsmanship is evident throughout my renovated space. Best of all, Ben and his team remained committed and professional throughout a time of financial adversity due to unforeseen red tape and negligence by my lender. I can't say enough good things about this guy. I have and will continue to refer him to friends and family.

They were very professional, fair, honest and on time. Everything was done to the highest quality standards and extra care was given to keeping the work space clean and safe for our family. Look forward to future projects with Cairn Building and Benjamin.
