"Green Bee Construction was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. When choosing a contractor, my top priorities were guidance, clear communication, and cost efficiency—and Matthew and his team exceeded my expectations in every way. They walked me through every phase of the project step-by-step and made sure I felt supported throughout the entire process. Communication was outstanding, and they were always available to help with decisions, adjustments, and changes along the way. We also maintained a detailed Excel spreadsheet to track and update costs throughout the project, which helped us stay organized and on budget.
I highly recommend Green Bee Construction to anyone looking for a professional, reliable, and transparent contractor."

"We had a kitchen remodeling project redone by replacing all the old cabinets in the same cabinet shapes, adding few new cabinets after expanding the kitchen space and adding a window where the stove is, new marble countertops, designed backsplash, under cabinet sink and faucet and few other items including the high efficiency appliances. Everyone that we came across during the work was: a. extremely professional b. knowledgeable about their area of expertise c. on time d. cheerful e. positive attitudes f. helpful when questions arose g. Efficient. This included the designer, manager, Charlie the project manager, installers and sub-contractors. During the remodeling Charlie took a great care about this project and he made sure to keep the rest of the house as clean as possible. All the people that worked at the house on a daily basis, left the work area neat and clean after each day's efforts. It was refreshing to work with this company because they gave us the best respect and attention while listening to all of our comments and questions. In regards to the documents and contract, the office made sure that we will understand each aspect from it even though it was easy to read and understand. We as clients definitely feel that we got what we paid for. We would highly recommend them to anyone."
