John Desborough and his crew took our dark, boxy 70’s style kitchen and brought it in to the 21st century, and we are very pleased with the results. This was an extensive project that involved demolishing the original kitchen down to the studs and taking down one wall and modifying another. John also renovated the bathroom, foyer and closets. From beginning to end John was accessible and responded to phone calls and emails in a timely manner. When on the job, he and his crew worked quickly and efficiently without sacrificing quality. Despite careful planning, our project was not without some unforeseen problems, but John was quick to respond with a can-do attitude, and he resolved these problems without causing any major delays or significant increase in costs. John is very customer oriented. If we were not satisfied with some aspect of the project he was willing to make appropriate changes. John and his crew were punctual and hardworking, and their good nature made them a pleasure to have around. All in all our renovation was a very positive experience. Where we once had a dark, cramped kitchen, we now have an area that feels spacious, and is light, bright, and more functional. In sum, John was very professional, efficient, kept costs down and quality up, and he was a pleasure to work with.

Everything Desborough did is excellent top shelf work, everything installed is extremely well fitted, finished completely, and rock-solid-built/installed-to-last. As John & his crew demonstrated his craftsmanship on the Kitchen we kept signing him up to do more, rip out a wall, install the laminate flooring, resurface the ceilings, and finally completely redoing the bathroom. Started as scheduled, finished on schedule. Work very well with my wife (and I) to address issues and enhance the overall remodel. John also works to keep the costs under control. Best of all, the wife loves the work that John Desborough & his crew did. We both highly recommend this contractor. He will be our go to guy for anything we need in the future.

Everything was very professional. John and his crew were always on time, very neat and completed the job in a timely manner, and as was specified without trying to sell me something extra that I did not want.

I had looked for about one year to find the right person to remodel my kitchen. My husband’s impending knee replacement surgery jump started my search as our first floor bathroom needed major work, and I turned to Angies list. Remodeling the bathroom and putting in a shower was not a simple task as it required encroaching on bedroom space, putting in a new wall, and dealing with the less than square measures of a century home. From my perspective, the perfect contractor would be honest (we can do business on a hand shake), have a business head, be highly skilled, and as a bonus have an artful eye. Finding all four qualities is precisely what I found in Desborough Construction's owner, John. He is totally up front with his customers, treats his customers the way he would want to be treated and even passes on discounts that he garners from being a good businessman. He is organized, is a master at time management, and hires people like himself, very skilled and hard working. I found John's work of the highest quality. Since we were heavily engaged with getting ready for surgery, John had little oversight from us; however, he was able to problem solve and work around “century home” issues on his own and delivered a product far beyond our expectations. I thought the initial $8875 estimate was a very reasonable considering all the special issues plus the unexpected that always arise in century homes. I threw John several curve b**** as there was considerable scope creep initiated by me that added both time and expense to the project which I was happy to assume; however, I know it put additional pressure on John’s master schedule. Even so, he was always good natured and accommodating about my change orders offering advice and insights from his professional experience. When my husband came home from the hospital earlier than expected, John accommodated us in every respect and worked extra hours to ensure the house was ready for his rehab. John definitely has an artistic eye, and he provided some “extras” that I never even thought of at no cost that really added to the beauty of the final product. The tiling work was particularly beautiful. Most important for any company is the ability to garner repeat business. I would most certainly highly recommend Desborough Construction, but please do not call until John comes back and remodels my kitchen.

He arrived on time for his appointment to quote on the job. He found a supplier for the door we wanted - slightly different from what we had seen at Home Depot. He ordered the doors and let us know when they would be in. Installation took somewhat longer than expected due to the condition of the framing around the doors. They wound up doing additional work and supplied additional materials to fit the doors properly into the home. They cleaned up carefully and thoroughly, and disposed of all the old doors, trim, framing, etc. I have already accepted another quote for them to do additional work for us. Obviously, I would definitely hire them again.

They renovated my kitchen and added flooring. They were excellent. They had an eye for detail. They were extremely knowledgeable and personable. They cleaned up very well after themselves.
