"When we first met with Lew Merryfield, our home was a disaster.  Smoke and intense heat had made it necessary to completely gut and restore our home.  It was a time of great despair and confusion.  Lew was very reassuring that his company would be able to handle to assignment and allow us to return to a home that was better than ever, and agreed to bid the job in the format requested.
After the contract was signed the Merryfield Construction Group was very active, and progress was made every week.  We opted to hire our own subcontractors for plumbing and HVAC, and an electrical contractor recommended by the provider.  The provider and their staff worked well with the other contractors and were communicative with us during the process.  A promise to never abandon working on our home for any significant period of time was kept.  Building options and recommendations were presented at appropriate times and were appreciated.  Lew and his brother George worked with us to solve problems that arose and we always felt like it was a partnership and that they took great pride in their work.  Additional work outside the original contract and work change orders were appropriate and reasonably priced.
The fire was one week before Christmas in 2013, and we were able to move back in late October 2014.  Although this time frame was slightly outside of the original estimate, it was not considered unreasonable given the nature of the work and the change orders. After we moved in, the provider has done a nice job on following up any problem areas and punch list items.
We are very happy with our "new" home and are confident that the provider will continue to stand behind the work.  The overall job turned out much better than we could have expected.  Lew and George Merryfield, and their staff, particularly Tom Ferry, Sean, and Scott, were always respectful and friendly, and took obvious pride in their crafts.  In conclusion, we are glad we selected Merryfield Construction Group and would not hesitate to use them again in the future or recommend them to others."

"Overall, I found JJ's quote the most affordable and they stayed on budget at the end of the day. They were also able to accommodate the start of the project in weeks as opposed to month(s). I consider John and Nick honest professionals and I would go back to them again for other work.
All the work turned out good and visually acceptable. This is a general comment about other contractors as well as a specific comment for JJ:
As someone who isn't as home repair savvy, I appreciate knowing how a job is going, if there are any issues or what the challenges may be in advance. I think maybe John is a man of few words, but I didn't get that much from him without probing and I don't always know if I'm asking the right questions. As a home owner, I want to make sure that I'm making the right long term decisions for my house. If I ask for work on job X, but it could actually be less expensive in the long run if a bigger job Y was performed. Maybe job Y is more expensive and I'm not willing to do it, but I would like to know what job Y is... maybe job X will only be good for a couple years and I'll have to do job Y in the future to sell the house anyway. That kind of thinking is something that I'd appreciate when someone is working on my house.

This family owned and operated business was excellent. The front office coordinated all services in record speed.  Desmond's estimate was right on the money, and his partner Bryan completed the job with total professionalism and efficacy.  

The customer service was one of a kind. The job was done in exactly the time they stated.  I trust and feel totally comfortable with this crew around my home and family. They asked for feed back to improve their services. I was so impressed by this!

I will use them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking to upgrade or fix their home or properties.


Thank you Integrity Design and  Build Inc.

"I was very pleased with the service.  He had to make a few adjustments which I was happy how everything turned out.  I would recommend him both for the price and the timeliness of his service.  I am now very happy with my new driveway."

"Everything about this project went the way we wanted it to. We cannot imagine how it could have gone any better. We needed the work to be done in the shortest time window possible since a disabled parent had to be temporarily located to another part of house during the work. Dan and his son were able to schedule us in and he completed the work extremely quickly. The quality of the work on all aspects is outstanding! Most remodeling projects sometimes present some challenges and surprises. Dan is very flexible and creative in helping come up with the best solution that keeps the project near the cost and time targets. Dan has a positive and friendly approach to his work. He is very honest and realistic in his estimates of time and cost, and it is very clear he strives to hit on both. He is a pleasure to have in your house if you will be staying there during the remodeling work. If you are looking for a highly skilled, trustworthy, and professional contractor to do remodeling work in the Berks County area - you should give Dan a call. I give him the STRONGEST RECOMMENDATION possible."

"The construction went beautifully. Jeff Ramsey completed the bathroom and went above and beyond what we expected. Living in a home built in 1847 has its challenges as in needing to reinforce the floor to ensure this old house would support our newly tiled floors, tiled shower with glass doors, claw foot tub and marbled vanity. He was so calm and reassuring during the process which reflected on how we dealt with the renovation ourselves. He was extremely conscientious and reliable and that's why we have just hired Ramsey Builders for our addition that is underway now. The bathroom renovation went great and we have all the confidence in the world in Ramsey Builders."

"MCG Construction did an excellent job on repairing the foundation and walls of our garage. Great communication throughout the process. Very professional workmen and great quality work. Their quote and total price for the project was far less than another company that suggested completely demolishing the old garage and building a new one. The final price of MCG's garage work was less than what they estimated it would be, because after removing parts of the garage they discovered there was already a foundation that they could build upon instead of having to excavate and pour a new foundation. Overall a very good experience. I would definitely use them again."

"As with most families during the pandemic, we found a new to create additional living spaces. When we embarked on our home addition project to repurpose our existing 2 car garage as new living areas and add a new 3 car garage, we interviewed 3-5 contractors and ultimately selected JM Drafting & Contracting. We chose them after reviewing a similar project in neighboring Blue Bell. They did an excellent job; along the project Jimmy was responsive, provided insight on weekly project tasks and offered details to ensure our needs and building plans were met. Overall, we are beyond pleased with the finished product and how well the project went. We are extremely glad we went with JM Drafting & Contracting and would highly recommend them for your future home renovation or project."

"I had Serge and his crew build a studio adjacent to my house. I received 5 quotes and they were the least expensive, used better materials (2 x 6's vs 2 x 4's) and proposed a foundatiom for the hillside project. I am thrilled with the workmanship. We made a number of changes along the way. They wanted to please. I am thrilled."

Home Building questions, answered by experts

A custom home is one that you design from the ground up, allowing you to customize everything from the square footage to the interior layout to all of the materials used. A spec home is one that a builder has designed and gotten approvals for. Spec homes may give you some limited options for the layout and materials, but most of the build is pre-set. Custom homes cost more and take longer to build.

One of the best ways to negotiate with a homebuilder is to forgo price reductions. Instead, negotiate over upgrades and incentives, as many builders are more willing to go down that road than to decrease their own fee. Even if they were willing to take a cut, a reputable homebuilder often knows their worth, so a willingness to negotiate could be a red flag. Beyond that, builders are typically willing to negotiate closing costs instead of offering a discount on the base price.

The longest part of building a custom home is the design phase. It takes multiple professionals and a ton of work to bring your vision for your dream home to life while sticking to a homebuilding budget and also ensuring everything is built to code. Expect the design phase for a custom home build to take six months to a year.

Modular homes can go up or down in value depending on a few factors. In areas where real estate is appreciating, the value of modular homes is likely to increase, and vice versa. Additionally, the value of modular homes depends partially on the area. In cities where every other home is stick-built, modular homes might be considered a functional obsolescence, in which case they could be less desirable and go down in value. In either case, though, modular homes can still be a good investment, especially since they provide housing at a lower upfront cost.

Builder-grade is one of two types of stock cabinets, whereas semi-custom designs allow homeowners some control over the color, finish, or hardware on their cabinets. Stock cabinets are sold in construction-grade and builder-grade designs. Construction-grade cabinets are usually made from inexpensive medium-density fiberboard, which is prone to moisture damage, whereas builder-grade models are a step up with higher-quality materials. Construction-grade designs are the most common type of cabinets in America.
