After interviewing a few contractors, we went with C. Brennan Construction for our basement remodel project because Chris' price was by far the best. We were converting unfinished basement space into a living room with a wet bar and an adjacent gym. We went over in detail the project to be completed and it was very clear what was and was not included in the price. We added things along the way and paid for added work, but again the pricing was very fair. The workmanship was excellent and, with the exception of a short period where we were on hold for a township permit, there was consistently someone here working on the project. The main worker on site, Dean, was always professional, helpful and very skilled. The end result is great and we would recommend Chris Brennan Construction for any remodeling project.

Chris did a wonderful job refinishing our basement in Gilbertsville. He followed up on the lead immediately and came out in person within a couple days to provide a quote. The quote was received back the same day and was nearly half of a competitor! Chris was insightful in helping us design the space and work through some details to maximize the finished area. Chris paid attention to detail and included us in every decision. His expertise really showed in the trim work and the finishing details. Chris was tied up on another job and it took a little time to get going. However, it was worth the wait and we are loving our new basement! Highly recommend Chris Brennan to anyone looking for a contractor.

overall one of the worst renovation experiences I have had to date. We met and discussed all expectaions and the scope of the work. Everything was great until the work began. The worker assigned to our project typically lacked the the tools or skills required to complete every aspect of the project. Thankfully both my husband and myself were home during the entire renovation which allowed us to stop multiple shortcuts and poor craftsmanship. I had to make sure my inclusion list was handy at all times to continuously remind not only the worker but also Chris of what items were included and what items were "add ons". The framework is not square and the drywall sanding was subpar at best which required me to go down and repair every wall of every room before I could even begin to paint. The tile floor was installed "by feel" so the floor is not level with the corners of some tiles higher than others creating tripping hazards throughout the laundry room. My husband had to oversee all aspects of the plumbing because the worker repeated failed air rest run on the drainage lines and would not use a level or tape measure to install anything unless we asked him to and then stayed to watch and make sure he did. The Rec Room floor required leveling which was part of the inclusion list, however it needed more than Chris planned, he then argued with the worker via a phone conversation about purchasing more, then called my husband and stated we would have to pay the difference to which we again redirected him to the inclusion list. There are two areas of our renovation.

Worked well with us to make our vision a reality. Custom built a fireplace and corner cabinet built-in. Custom built a reading nook with drawers and book shelf under the stairs. Excellent finished product adding a large family area to our home.

We hired Chris because he was very clear in his quote on what he would do. He included enough lights, match the doors, trim etc to the rest of the house. Materials used were decent. He was in our house every day at 7:00 am. He explained clearly what he would do and what he would not do. Good experience.

Chris just finishing remodeling our basement and we are so happy with the job. Our basement is small and we knew this was comparably a small job for him but he was very responsive, started the job early, showed up by 7 AM every day and finished the job in 2 1/2 weeks. His quote was completely reasonable and he stayed on budget. He gave us great input as to how to maximize the space.It is obvious he takes great pride in his work. He's old school, no fancy websites or computer programs that due nothing but jack up the price. Would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a contractor.

Chris and his team remodeled our kitchen and finished our basement and we could not be happier with the results. Both projects were completed on time, within budget, and a very high level of quality. We have CWB Construction lined up for several more jobs!

He is thorough, punctual, meticulous, and performance oriented � 100% professional and honest, 100% of the time. The best part about Chris is his firm grip on financial reality. He knows you can have a professional grade job done without breaking the bank. Chris will be the only contractor I call for future projects. Needless to say, I highly recommend Chris. If you give him an opportunity to take a look at your project and give you a quote, I am confident you

Chris Brennan is a hard-working, quality-minded, construction professional and my family and I are thrilled with the results of the work he performed finishing our basement - simply put it looks awesome! He was very competitively priced and we could not be happier in our decision to use Chris and his company CWB Contstuction. My neighbor who supervises commerical construction projects stopped over a few times and remarked during the process that the work was being done very well. I would reccomend Chris to anyone looking to do contruction work on their home.

Chris is the most professional contractor that my husband and I have had the privilege to work with! His work was meticulous. He always made sure that everything was done to our liking and he took care of permits, inspections and materials. Chris was not afraid to call if he had questions. He never went over the price he quoted and worked diligently to ensure perfection. I would recommend Chris to anyone who has a basement project!
