Cmb Construction LLC

My husband and I hired CMB construction in the Spring of 2015 to add a three season porch to our cottage. Colin was involved every step of the way from helping us design our addition, to choosing materials, to putting on the finishing touches. Colin worked with us to keep costs down, and kept us updated daily on the progress of the project. His crew did a terrific job, kept the work site as clean as possible, and were very easy to work with. The porch was done on schedule and turned out beautifully. We have had many positive comments on the high quality of the workmanship, and how seamlessly the porch blends into the look of the original cottage. I highly recommend CMB construction.

This project went about as smoothly as one could possibly expect. Colin Bushong was very important in the design process that began in January. His knowledge of Chief Architect software made it easy for us to see how well we were communicating our renovation ideas. He came up with innovations that helped with costs and improved the effect of the project. Later, his renderings were important for the appraiser to understand and evaluate the improvements we were considering. The work began on April 15th. Most of the construction was done by Colin and a 2-man crew; subcontractors were used for plumbing, electrical, and the counter top. They always showed up on time and worked a full day. We lived in the apartment over our garage during the entire project. The inevitable glitches that arose were handled by Colin seeming ease. We are already considering future projects that we want done by him.

We found Colin through a friend on Facebook. He had helped her build a bedroom/bathroom addition which was what we were wanting to undertake as well and our friend spoke very highly of him. Colin helped us design and plan our addition, helping us see where we could save money and where we shouldn't look to cut costs. Since we went with him to do the work he didn't charge us for his design time (and the many revisions that we asked him to make). After the plan was complete he then gathered bids using some of the subs he usually uses as well as several that we know and wanted to use. After getting the bids in place permits were pulled and the work began. Everything went pretty smooth for the most part. We did have one hiccup with the siding we used on the garage and what turned out to be a mis-communication between us and Colin. (There are so many decisions and details in a project like this). Colin went ahead and made things right taking the cost of the correction on himself. Towards the end of the project we had some unexpected changes in our finances and Colin worked with us showing us some things we could tackle ourselves to help save money. Colin and his assistant David were always responsible, organized, and courteous. I didn't mind having them around our children at all and enjoyed watching them explain to the kids on several occasions what they were doing that day. He managed the subs very well and was very hands on. I was also impressed by how quickly he returned our phone calls and emails (sometimes within minutes) getting us the answers we needed in a very prompt manner. I would highly recommend Colin and his company CMB construction for projects both small and large. I have already referred him to several friends and my brother for smaller projects.
