"Homeowner here... I can't properly explain how absolutely thrilled we are with the work that Bronson and the Brawny Builders have done with our lake cottage. Last summer, we started with a plan to simply paint the exterior. But the project slowly unfolded into something much larger. Bronson is not just a general contractor - he became a close and trusted partner throughout the entire project. He is full of creative and thoughtful ideas that enhanced the project at every step. He provided us with constant and detailed communication. His team worked with us to make sure that every detail was right. Here are a couple of examples where Bronson was able to improve the design or save cost: ** We did not want to expand the footprint of the house and add that cost, but we could not figure out how to layout everything we wanted. Bronson cleverly reused an old set of concrete stairs as the foundation for a washer/dryer stack. It was a great solution that worked out fantastic. ** We had wanted to add a half bath for years, but Bronson figured out a way to add a FULL bath. In addition, the new bathroom was connected (jack and jill style) to the main bedroom to create a master suite. It only cost one additional door, but it is now WAY beyond what we imagined. ** We originally wanted to build a deck on the front of the house, but Bronson helped to create a design for a covered porch with vaulted ceilings and a clever lower surround that blended with the lake environment. ** We found a number of structural issues with the old house during demolition. Bronson developed very clever and cost-effective ways to resolve floor, wall and joist issues. ** During each phase of the construction, Bronson developed thoughtful and clever touches. The lofted garage included an old second floor door for ventilation, and Bronson designed a design the new door that retained some of the prior feeling with a new and fresh update. ** We wanted to retain some of the historical feel to the interior, and Bronson cleverly retained some of the original paneling without feeling overwhelming. He framed the wall to make it a focal point without looking old. It is one of my favorite parts of the house. The lake cottage has been in our extended family for almost 50 years. It has been a great retreat for us, but it is now a proper home with personality and functionality to match. This project has literally transformed the house. We would highly recommend Bronson and Brawny Builders for any remodeling project. We were lucky to find them."

"The worked performed was excellent. No corners were cut and materials used were all quality items. I would hire O’Kerns anytime there was a project I needed done."

"Project went ok. Due to misunderstandings, additional work needed to be done. Added to the cost. Glue-down carpet was not the best work."

"Boy do they come out of the gate strong, the automatic emails and text BOOM, in your face with all the appearance of a company trying to get your business....then they fall flat on their faces leaving you hanging. No follow up impossible to get a hold of and failed promises. Do not even start to attempt to hire this company, apparently they are so busy they can blow you off without a care."

"My door was repaired and is fully operational."

"Steven didn't call, didn't show up, I messaged him and he gave me a BS "car and mechanic" lie, same one he told me back in February when I tried to get him to do work for me then. You think I forgot about you? No. I was going to give you a second chance and hire you, but you screwed me over again."

"They sent an automated message twice and never followed up."

"Whenever you have a need for an HVAC company, 5 star is the company to call. They are professional, courteous, and knowledgeable of their work and the equipment in question. When I had a new furnace and central air system installed they advised me on what was best for my home the size of the space being heated and or cooled. Not what they could sell me that was larger than I needed. This company is reputable and honest. Call them the next time you need any and all HVAC service. You won't be disappointed."

"Performed work professionally. When unanticipated difficulties arose due the age and condition of my house arose, immediately informed me and did not ask for an unreasonable increase in the estimate to do the extra work. I was so pleased with his flexibility, skill level and reasonableness on the increase in work that I voluntarily paid him more than he expected. I would definitely hire him and his assistant again."
