Coburn Construction Llc

The bid process was very thorough and extremely accurate.  We came in at bid with only changes which were prompted by us.

Coburn Construction uses sub-contractors who have a proven-commitment to excellence and have earned the company?s trust by doing the same highest-quality work on each job.  Most of the subs have worked for Coburn Construction for years, just as the Coburn crew has worked together for many years.  Each of the subs and the crew members was extremely knowledgeable. They have seen it all and it was very helpful that they were willing to share expertise with us, answering questions and offering honest suggestions and opinions when we asked, ?What do you think?? We made some changes such as adding a sound system and the crew designed the storage and did the installation for us. Everyone was committed to a finished product that was better than we could have imagined.  Furthermore, the workers were polite and considerate, even when they didn?t know we were in the vicinity.

The jobsite was always orderly and clean.  The scheduling was impeccable with no delays and we were kept informed of the schedule. Payments were made on a milestone basis meaning everyone agreed up-front when a payment would be due (i.e. after the sheetrock was installed) and the exact amount.

Great attention was paid to detail and every visitor who sees our finished work comments on the fine quality.  From the tile-work on the fireplaces and in the bathrooms and kitchen, to the custom wood mantels and other installations, the perfectly finished sheetrock with absolutely square corners, to the interior painting with exceptional lacquered trim and doors, our project says, ?High quality?.

We could not be more pleased with our finished product.  Every attention was paid to making it the highest quality construction possible.  Coburn Construction has only one standard: small jobs receive the same quality workmanship as high-end jobs and they are responsive and ethical. The company?s motto is ?Exceeding Expectations? and our remodel proved that to be so true.  We absolutely recommend Coburn Construction without reservation. Coburn will exceed anyone?s expectations.

Excellent work! A month ago working on a cabinet top. He's done power and flooring. Consulted on a remodel, all of which are exceptional.

We had water leaking into our rental house garage under the man-sized door on the side of our garage.  This left a puddle of water inside the garage after a heavy rainfall.  I did not even begin to know how to fix this.  I spoke with Carmine Coburn on the phone and although this was a smaller job than they normally do, he agreed to come look at it and make a suggestion.   I asked him for a cost effective solution since this is an older home and we were not interested in updating, only in maintaining the home.  Carmine came up with a suggested repair, which we then hired his company to complete.   Since I was flexible on the timing, we agreed that his crew could make the repairs when they were able to, in between their other larger projects.  Carmine communicated with me when his crew would arrive and they followed through with their promises and the job was completed in just a couple of days.  Since I live out of town, Carmine worked with me and made it very easy by purchasing the new door and the lockset for me.  I had a very good experience with Carmine and his company, Coburn Construction. I am unsure how much any other construction company would have charged me but I felt it was a good value for what I received.   I would definitely hire them again.

Because they had another big job they were working on, it took a while before they could start on ours.  However, we had met with Carmine and were impressed with his straightforward, honest approach.  So, we waited and they were worth the wait.  They started in late September by taking everything out of the master bath.  From then on, it was steady progress on first the master bath and then the family bathroom.  There were very few days that someone wasn't at our house working on one stage of the project or another.  All plumbing and cabinets were ordered and were there ready to go when needed.  If there were changes that needed to be made to the initial plan, they let us know immediately.  There were no big surprises however.  All the workmen that showed up at our house were courteous, efficient, and cleaned up the work site each day.  The tile work was especially well done and there was a lot of it in both bathrooms.  Shane did an outstanding job with that.  By mid December, we had two totally new bathrooms with everything we wanted.

They are excellent with communicating exactly what they are going to do.  They are very upfront in regards to the work they are going to do and how that breaks down to the billing.  They always stay with the project until it is finished.

The first time I contacted Carmine Coburn in June 2010 he explained that he keeps his company small, which allows him to give high quality attention to every job. At that time he was very busy and would not have been able to start my job for several months. He went on to explain his method of bidding, which is to provide a detailed, completely transparent bid. Working from his bid I can see exactly what everything costs and where I can make adjustments to get exactly the outcome I want. He also explained that he does not start a job until he can see it through to completion. Based on this conversation I decided to wait until the fall when he would be available and I am very glad I did. I have already done well over $100,000 worth of work to our house in the last 4 years and Coburn Construction is by far the best contractor I have worked with. Once we had a start date set, Carmine and his crew showed up exactly as agreed and they came everyday and worked all day until the job was done to my satisfaction. The crew is very professional. They worked all day and cleaned up every day before they left. The work is excellent overall. Shane takes great pride in his tile work and it shows. This was a bathroom that needed quite a bit of plumbing and electrical rework, which they accomplished without a problem. They were great at troubleshooting and figuring out how to make things work given that the bathroom had some incorrect modifications done in the past.  I also asked them to install several doors and some missing baseboard and trim. They did an excellent job of making the new material work with the old.  We had some minor confusion over the final bill and Carmine was very honest and straightforward while we figured why our numbers were different. We resolved it without any difficulty. I definitely plan to hire this company to do another bathroom and my kitchen. 

The most impressive aspect of Coburn Construction is the amazing quality of their work. The quality stood out from the first day and we have not been disappointed. At no point did I ever feel they were rushing through anything and there were even times they chose on their own to redo something because they were not satisfied with how it had been completed. Not only did they show up when they said they were going to (not common with any of my past experiences), but they were extremely professional about dealing with any and all questions and concerns we had during the process. Carmine was always open to hearing our questions and I never felt like he was blowing me off or trying to discount my concerns. He would address the issue and if something needed to be redone, they did it without ever showing any frustration. I cannot stress enough the level of professionalism shown by Carmine and his crew throughout the entire process. Because our remodel began just as my boys were getting out of school for the summer, the crew had the added difficulty of working around three wild boys. They did this without a hitch and my boys actually miss having them around. Having extra people in your house for four months is never easy, but the Coburn crew were some really great guys to have around! To be able to say you look forward to them shows just what kind of guys they are! I am proud to show off the work they have done in our home and I would recommend Carmine and his crew over and over. I truly believe their work stands out against any others out there.

I must say the entire process from beginning to end was a great experience. There was a crew of four gentlemen on the job and they were all very professional, extremely friendly and very hard working. The quality of their workmanship was top of the line. The owner Carmine Coburn was always available to us to answer any and all questions we had regardless of how small they were. He and his crew did everything possible to provide us with the finished projects that we desired and would be proud to show our friends, family, and neighbors with pride! They certainly accomplished this. We have future remodel projects in mind and we will use Coburn Construction for them without hesitation.

Knowing how we wanted our home to feel we proceeded forward and chose a very personable designer (Barry Senter (?Barry Design?). After several months and a lot of conversation Barry created our project on paper. We then spent more than a year talking to people about contractors and contractors themselves. During this time Barry had been working closely with Carmine Coburn (Coburn Construction) on a few different projects. Barry kept mentioning how he was impressed with Carmine?s work dually impressed with his attitude in that Carmine takes unusual pride in pleasing his clients. We interviewed Carmine along with a few other contractors and I need to say, at that time, it was a difficult choice, but the weight of the fact that Carmine?s work was getting rave review from Barry we went with Carmine (Coburn Construction). Carmine has a small highly skilled crew that consists of his brother and two longtime employees. Know that I work my business out of my home and was present (on-site) a good deal of the time during the construction. They show up at 8am 5 days a week and if they were going to be late (or otherwise) Carmine would call and give me a heads up as to why and when they will be there. Every time they worked inside the house they took extreme care to make sure the hardwood floors were protected and their work areas completely sealed off. Everything was tight, calked without a miss, primed before securing to the house, and absolutely square. As things go, as with all construction projects, the push and shove between time, materials, communication, and winter weather happens. I can only say everything was always taken care of without conflict or serious glitches. On the other end of the spectrum the few subcontractors that he had to use were not only obviously long term relationships, they were every bit a concerned about the quality of their own work as Carmine is. He obviously hand picks his subcontractors. As long as the project continued Carmine was continually checking in with us to see how we are doing and if he could improve anything as he goes. The bottom line is Coburn Construction is probably one of the best and most concerned contractors anyone could imagine. I?ve never experienced quality work and customer service like I have from them. If you are looking for a contractor it doesn?t get much better than this. If you have any questions concerning my experience with Coburn Construction your are most welcome to contact me.

Coburn Construction is absolutely amazing! I plan to call them, and only them, for all of my home improvement projects in the future. The team was dependable, professional, experienced/knowledgable, communicative, friendly, committed to excellence, AND neat and tidy. My new bathroom is absolutely amazing and flawless thanks to their hard work and excellent ability. From start to finish, the project lasted 2 months. During that time, the crew kept regular work hours and never disappointed me. I always had a clear picture of the overall status of the project and next steps. I highly, highly recommend them. In addition to the results achieved and their work style, I must add that I gave the crew complete access to my home because I needed to be at work. In addition, I have a Labrador Retriever, Porter, who can be a little shy, especially when new people come into our home. The crew was so good to Porter that, after the first few days, he was excited to see them when they arrived and he seemed to miss them during the first week or so after the project ended. In addition, for all of the time that the crew was alone in my home, nothing was amiss. They were very trustworthy and honest.

How often is it that you can say you had a positive experience with a contractor? WE DID! In the beginning Carmine introduced us to the designer of our dreams, Barry Senter Design. This is where the relationship between everyone began. The level of detail that Carmine and his crew had to work with was unbelievable. This would be a contractors dream job. Coburn Construction's craftsmanship and attention to detail could not be matched. The entire crew and subcontractors demeanor and professionalism was something we thought never could exist. I don't know of any contractor that could come within 4% of their bid. The management of the project again was top notch. Coburn Construction was on time ,on budget as well as exceeded our overall expectations. This sounds to good to be true, but it is! If you are interested in using Coburn Construction, we invite you to come see his work. We're so happy with our results that we want others to have this same experience we had. Not only did they do amazing work, but they built our home with care and passion for what they love to do. WE LOVE OUR HOUSE!!!! Thanks Coburn Construction!!!!! Mark & Terri Siegel

We had a good experience with them. They said what they meant and got done with what they said they were going to do. I was happy with them. I would use them again for more work in the future.

We had a small bathroom completely remodel. We did the demo and they took it from there. I especially love the tile work and heated floor. We would recommend them to anyone. Honest and easy to work with.

Overall, everything was great. These guys went over the top to ensure the most minimal time to leave me without a toilet (old house, only bathroom, only one night!) Carmine, Shane and Chris were personable, approachable, professional and great to work with. I was so comfortable that I would be working a 13 hour shift while they were in my house. To top it off, they didn't go over budget.

The quality of the work is excellent, with great care taken in the tile work. We used slate, a difficult material to work with, for the bathroom floor and shower stall, and it all looks spectacular. The job involved the usual juggling of electricians, plumbers, and (in our case) designers, with a fair amount of custom work done both by Coburn Construction and outside contractors. We had custom Shoji screens made for both the bedroom closet and the bathroom, and they did a great job installing them in both places. Very happy with the work, and we've stayed in touch and used them for subsequent jobs.

This was our 3rd remodel/addition to our home of 15 years. I have worked with two previous builders and didn't rehire them. I would rehire Coburn Construction for any future projects. His personal crew and the group of sub's (plumping, electrical, foundation etc.) were all a terrific group to work with. Never felt uncomfortable with the men working here. Our project came in higher, but we added to the project. The time was longer than expected, but not due to Coburn. We had delays right off the start from bad weather and bad soil, when pouring the foundation. Coburn Construction never delayed the project, they were all here when they said they would be. It was the best remodeling experience to date!

The whole job was fantastic. Everything looked amazing and I would recommend them to other people. They are professional and have a great service. They were very detailed and did not take long to finish the job at all. They are honest and reliable every step of the job.

SENT A CREW OF 2 AND HAD IT DONE QUICKLY AND DID A GREAT JOB BUILDING AND ALSO SUPER JOB HAULING AWAY AND CLEANING UP AFERWARDS. REALLY EASY TO WORK WITH AND VERY NICE, HONEST, PROFESSIONAL AND VERY HONEST. COMPANY ALSO DID A SUPER TILE JOB AT FRIENDS HOUSE ON BOTH FLOOR AND COUNTERTOPS. VERY FAIR PRICE.
