Brunette Home Improvement has been my preferred contractor since I bought my current hours in 1992. They have done two roofs for me, re-sided the front of my house, and eavestroughs. Very thorough and professional.
Description of Work: A tree fell on our house during a storm, damaging the roof over the garage. I called Brunette and they did my entire roof quickly and efficiently.

Not always cheapest price, but we've learned you get what you pay for and we'll never go anywhere else. This company has dramatically increased the value of our home. We're proud to have used the very best.

The quotation process and roofing went exceedingly well. We were most pleased to work with John. He was knowledgeable and most honest in all of his dealings with us. We made several special requests, all of which John was happy to accommodate and work with us on. He and Brunette were punctual, efficient, and very conscious about our yard. With young children and a dog they cleaned up after themselves each day, didn't drive in the yard or otherwise leave damage (tire tracks in the soft Spring soil would have required repair), and even returned again to carefully retrieve nails missed with a magnet. We strongly recommend John and Brunette for any work.
Description of Work: Brunette replaced our roof. It was a tear-off with three layers, they had to replace 10 deck boards, and new shingles and peak vent.

I requested an estimate for multiple projects at my home. I met the representative at our house, showed him the projects, and was advised I would receive a quote. After two weeks I had not heard from the builder. I called the office to obtain the status of the estimates. I was told that I would receive a call that day with the status. I never received a call. For all of the positive comments for this builder, I am surprised that this went so poorly. I chose them because of I thought that I would receive outstanding service. Instead, I received no service at all.
Description of Work: The builder came to my home to review various projects requiring estimates.

Response from Brunette Home Improvement
I'm sorry that your experience with us was not what you had expected. This spring was a very busy time for us, which means bidding may take a bit longer than usual. Our records show that the bid was actually emailed to the homeowner on the 13th of may as per his request. We try and communicate thoroughly with every customer of ours, but we also understand that we may not be able to meet every timeline set before us. Thank your for opportunity to bid on your project and I'm sorry it didn't work out for us to work together.

The service and communication were excellent. Roger Smith was the primary on the job. He worked with our designs and provided us with exactly what we asked for, and at an exceptional level of quality. His communication with us over the 3 month long project was exceptional. There were several little follow up items that we noticed over the year following completion of the construction. Roger Smith responded to every concern without hesitation and always to my satisfaction (and I'm pretty picky). Not only do I strongly recommend Brunette's and Roger Smith, but I plan on using them in the future for further construction and remodeling that we plan to have done. Note that I rated the price at a "B". That's only because I had other estimates that came in slightly lower. But I highly doubt that I would have received the exceptional quality and service from the other firms. I believe that for a little more money, I received a great deal more.
Description of Work: Brunette Home Improvement built a large addition on our house, resided the house, reroofed a portion, and installed new windows on the existing structure.

It was excellent. I actually wanted to give them the work but they were coming $2000 higher than another company was. They were very professional and very nice. They quoted me $8000. I am possibly looking at getting windows and a door through them because they are a full service home improvement company. It is just that the price they gave me wasn’t competitive but I am definitely going to calling them back for some work in the future.

I am beyond pleased with the results. Great quality work. Mark Brunette made the planning process easy and he kept me informed. It can be hard to make decisions sometimes and Mark was very patient with my questions and indecisiveness. He provided lots of different options throughout every stage of the building process. Everybody I came across was professional and courteous. The building process went much faster than I anticipated and the end result is even better than I expected. Our family LOVES our new basement and I'm so glad I went with Brunette Home Improvement. I find this company very reliable and trustworthy. I recommend them to everybody I know.
Description of Work: Completely finished basement. They built a bedroom, full bath, kitchenette, large living room, storage room with built in shelving and a under the staircase child's play house.

They came out a year ago. Then they came back out to do a little more research because we still have a leak problem. They are supposed to be replacing a window because that is where we think the leak is coming from. We thought this was a reasonable cost. Unfortunately the problem that we set out to solve wasn't sorted, because the area they patched wasn't the area the leak was coming from.
Description of Work: Brunette Home Improvement did roof patching and put in some additional exhaust fans on the roof.

We first found out about Brunette?s from a sign in our neighborhood and noticed the beautiful job that was done on that house and soon after read all the rave reviews on Angie?s list. After meeting with other companies, Brunette?s was our first choice! From the initial phone call to our last meeting with John, we had a wonderful experience. The office staff was friendly and John was very professional, thorough in explaining different options to us, very prompt to return calls and flexible with our schedule to meet with us. We really felt like John made us a priority even while busy with other projects. The crew was very friendly, on time, and were happy to answer questions that we had while they were on-site. They did a fantastic job on our tear-off, re-roof and cleanup. Our new roof was up in mid-May and with the rain we?ve had, we love walking downstairs to a dry basement! We look forward to working with Brunette?s again on future home projects. We highly recommend them without any hesitation!
Description of Work: We had our roof replaced by Brunette Home Improvement. They removed the existing roof and disposed of the waste. We had a couple areas that were leaking and they made repairs to those spots.

Once we requested an estimate, they came out to our house to inspect our roof in order to come up with how to correct a pitch issue (causing leaking) with our roof. We had several estimates worked up with different options for correcting the pitch and re-shingling the roof. They were very flexible with providing multiple estimate scenarios to help us find the best option to fit our budget. We were also told up front that there is always the possibility that they could uncover some decking that would need replaced and would add to the cost. This was especially nice to have been told in advance since we did get a call part way though the project letting us know that we should consider replacing some additional decking. The crew were prompt and professional. They were working while there was still snow on the ground, but they did a very good job cleaning up... including coming back a few days after the job completed to clean out the gutters that had been frozen on their last day of work. The project was even completed days before we were told they would be done. Once the job was done, there was a final inspection to make sure everything looked good, and we are happy to report that despite all the spring rain we've had, the issues we were having with our roof are completely resolved. The roof looks great!
Description of Work: Full tear-off and re-shingle as well as having a portion of the roof pitch re-framed and new decking installed on another part of the roof.

We were overall really pleased with the work that was performed. We got our quote in the late winter and they started the project as soon as the weather permitted. Mark was very professional and friendly when he came out to talk about the work with us, and was very in depth on what was going to be involved in the project. He was also very responsive during the project and would send text message updates as needed or to let us know when they'd arrive the next day. The work was done when they said it would be, and at the price they quoted. We did have additional costs than just a normal reroofing job as our garage had been negected for a long time, and needed all new decking, and reinforcements on the rafters. So extra time and money were spent there, but we knew about that going in, so it was all to be expected. The only unexpected thing that we encountered was that we had to contact our satelitte company and pay to get our dish repositioned. That is probably true of every roofing job, but we didn't know to expect it. So it was a little bit of a shock to come home and have no tv service on a Friday evening (during March Madness, of all times).
Description of Work: They replaced the roof on our house and garage. The garage required a lot of additional work (which we were aware of beforehand) and they had to replace all the decking and add additional support to the rafters after years of water damage.

Very professional, personable, and responsible. They were not the cheapest bidder but were mid-range in price. I feel you get what you pay for. They began the roofing job early which was appreciated as I was having water issues. I then contracted for siding and they began the job within two weeks of roof completion. Both jobs were completed in a reasonable time and were of high quality. My only dissatisfaction was with post-clean up; I was picking up nails and pieces of siding for several weeks afterward; they were in a little rush to get to next job. But overall, I had a positive experience and would recommend them.
