Blue Ridge Builders

An A rating is not high enough for Wayne for this project. We had an emergency project that needed to be completed in our commercial kitchen that required Blue Ridge Builders to work with a timeline that was in the hands of New Castle County and a second company. Since he was flexible, we were able to complete a secondary project at the same time reducing the time our restaurant was closed to one day. We didn't expect the project to be done in one day but he worked with his employee to make it happen. The work that was performed was perfect. He spoke and quot;wifeand quot;. I am sooo not technical and I didn't know exactly what I needed or wanted. I knew I wanted the drywall replaced but I didn't know the exact name for what I wanted or exactly what was going to be needed. I also didn't know the exact timeline since I had to work with another company for a second project. Wayne was extremely flexible and helped me without talking down to me and without making me feel stupid. At the initial meeting, Wayne gave several recommendations that I had not even considered. I used them all! Because this was an emergency project, I was in fix it mood. Wayne's recommendations were based on the future needs of my kitchen not just the quick fix. He wasn't trying to make the project bigger for his bottom line instead he was telling me that he could do more with my budget. I can not wait to work with Wayne again in the future. Next time, it will be for a fun project at the house.

This was the third addition to my house. The second addition was bid out and Blue Ridge was one of the bidders. I chose Blue Ridge and was so satisfied with the work, that on this third addition, I did not bid out the job. The owner is the general contractor and does ALL of the supervising of the job. His own employees do most of the work. He just subcontracts out the specialized task, like electical, plumbing, etc. The remaining, including the laying of ceramic tile, radiant floor heating, installing all major appliances, installing all cabinets, etc, were done by his employees. The owner has excellent attention to detail, is creative, and is extremely concientious. He wants you to be completely satisified and ensures that his employees do quality work. His prices are fair, and given the level of service and quality, there should be no doubt in any decision to use the services of Blue Ridge Builders. The workers on the job, put in a fair day's work and did not slack off. They always ensured that they left your house clean and if stuff was in progress, we were always told what to do and not to do. Communciation is great and you can always reach the owner. In addition, the owner keeps you apprised of the progress and ensures that you are a complete partner in the entire process. Due to other job committments, sometimes my job was juggled around other jobs. The owner, again, kept you informed of the situation, so that you were not left wondering what happened. Given the vast amount of work that I had done, the entire process took about 5 months. Billing was fair and clear.
