Aarow Building

About us

Through our focus on Passive House construction over the past few years we have emerged as a regional leader in high performance green building, bringing transformational energy performance and quality assured durability to our green projects. Even as our work transforms the way we approach "conventional" projects, we remain rooted in the craft-based remodeling and new building that we started with 31 years ago. A company of carpenters, we construct buildings that sustain and delight by empowering employees, harnessing 21st century building science, and advancing the traditions of craftsmanship. This method is built on five pillars: Craft: durable, precise work preformed by Aarow Building's career carpenters. Building Science: new levels of home performance achieved through a physics and systems based understanding of how buildings work. Collaboration with clients and designers: superior homes born of thorough and effective collaboration between the three parties- client, designer and builder. Rigorous project management: on time and on budget protects delivered through clear communication, open books and project management. Empowered Employees: service to the client and the designer via service to the employee - happy employees create happy customers.

I live in an old house - the area they were working on was built in 1904. They did an excellent job of removing damaged floor and replacing and leveling it with a new floor, removing the tub and replacing it with an onyx shower. I am very happy with the service I received from this company - their employees were professional and courteous and I would definitely call them again if I needed any work done. I would also recommend them to friends. I also enjoyed working with the Contractor. He kept me informed about what was going on and when they would be finished. I also liked it that they came when they said they would.

Since I was not a set time line work was done around other jobs that were on a set time. Jake came to inspect the finished product and suggested that some small things needed to be addressed and taken care of.

Everything went well and turned out beautifully. Spectacular, even. Of course, there were delays and complications, but those are to be expected in any remodeling job. Aarow Building employees were professional and did quality work. They refused to cut corners. They were easy to work with, listened to my ideas, and answered all my questions. I have already hired them to do some more work on the garage.

He missed our first appt., was very nice, gave me a quote quickly, then it took months for him to get the work done. Weather did play a part of the delay but so did sick employees. He contacted me for one overage and in the end the bill was 38% higher than the estimate plus overage approved. 38%!!!!!!! I will never use him again nor recommend him even though he was very nice. 38% over approved amount is insane. I regret paying it.

Very poorly. Had to be called back numerous times to fix improperly installed faucet, unevenly laid tile, cabinetry, and leaks. They had to cut out the ceiling in the family room to repair a tub leak that could not be reached from above. Jake would not return calls or return after he told me he would be back to fix a second leak in the family room.

I could not be happier.  Everything was done right the first time.  The staff and subcontractors were all professional and personable, everyone liked their job and had personal pride and integrity.  Jake is knowledgeable in all aspects of contracting, including minute details of each step.  His artistic vision was extremely helpful and definitely added to the finished product.  
I have an older custom home with unusual construction of every kind.  This was NEVER a problem.  Each unforeseen issue was seen as an opportunity to improve the home.
The irrigation issues were immense, but they were transformed into a beautifully landscaped yard with immaculate masonry.
Jake stayed in constant communication, there were never any negative surprises or delays.  We came in very close to budget, amazing since the actual work was more than I expected.  Aarow's bid was a little higher than others, but well worth the differenc in real value.  The highest quality products were used, it never felt like Aarow was skimping on anything. Quite the contrary, Jake, Henry and staff strived to do the most for the least cost, as if it was their own house.
