Very professional, even when bumps in the road happened, there was open communication and adjustments that kept us (the client) happy. Highly skilled, and worth the little extra you would pay just for the knowledge that it'll get done correctly. **★★★★★ — Bunn Gray, Feb. 2019** > We hire Blue Ribbon to come into our house and create a Mother-In-Law suite with a sitting area, full bath (curbless shower entry ), also to total remodel of our Kitchen, changed out cabinets in all the upstairs bathrooms, change the round support in the Foyer to square. The work was performed professionally, work site was kept clean, a schedule was provided and updated daily with work completed and what was planned for the remaining week. We had a couple of bumps along the way, and Blue Ribbon went above and beyond to correct them. 100 percent satisfied with the end product, Highly recommended. **★★★★★ — Jeff W., Oct. 2018** > Blue Ribbon is a professional remodeling company who provides excellent design concepts and quality work. They also employed quality sub contractors. They worked with you to satisfy your needs. I recommended them for the household in Raleigh/Cary areas. **★★★★★ — Steve Ramirez, April 2018** > Blue Ribbon Construction has used my business, The UPS Store on Creedmoor Road, to print up presentation easels, postcard mailers, brochures and other marketing collateral. It highlighted the projects that Blue Ribbon was highlighting on the Triangle Parade of Homes (http://paradeofhomeswake.keyturnr.com/). Great quality that reminded me of work you find in Architectural Digest or House Beautiful. I will be asking Blue Ribbon to help me with my home project. **★★★★★ — Lane Houk, April 2018** > John and his team at Blue Ribbon are awesome... thorough, detailed, on-time and with a 5-Star service experience! Highly recommend for any construction or renovation project you might need. **★★★★★ — A&K's Empire Electric, Feb. 2017** > Blue Ribbon is an amazing company with caring employees. They are all very knowledgeable and will design and execute exactly what you envision. We work directly with Blue Ribbon as their electrical contractor and they are at the top of our builder list for professionalism, accurate scheduling, and timely communication (just to name a few). Anybody who wants the best in designing and building should go visit their show room, talk with John Devlin, and and check out all their awards! **★★★★★ — garycraven, Feb. 2016** > Blue Ribbon has worked with us to complete three projects over a 5-year period: master suite, bonus room remodeling, and kitchen facelift. In all cases, we were impressed by the quality of work and the level of professionalism by Blue Ribbon's team. They worked with us to develop innovative design concepts and their suggestions always made the resulting projects better. When we undertook the kitchen project just after Thanksgiving last year, we said it must be completed by Dec. 22. (Who in their right mind would do a kitchen renovation during the holiday season?!) We were amazed when the deadline was met precisely, including inspections, cleanup, and removal of the port-a-potty - right on time. Information below relates to the most recent project - the kitchen facelift. **★★★★★ — Alicia Gordon, Jan. 2016** > Blue Ribbon did a large attic addition for us a few years ago. Our house went from having pull-down stairs in a room off our master bedroom to full stairs to the completely finished attic, full bath included. I know we are tough customers as I have very specific ideas of what I want and am extremely picky! John Sperath at Blue Ribbon was wonderful to work with, very helpful, very honest, and great at communication. Every step of the project was above-board and well executed and everyone was very professional. I would definitely contact Blue Ribbon first next time we need help with the house. **★★★★★ — cinthrblu, Oct. 2015** > Blue Ribbon added a porch and constructed a new outdoor deck on our house. Working with Blue Ribbon was a pleasure. They kept us advised at all times on how the project was progressing, and of any issues. Quality of workmanship by all trades was outstanding. **★★★★★ — lbrown7583, Oct. 2015** > Blue Ribbon Residental Construction Company was assigned the task of completely changing the master bathroom in my house. They removed a useless garden tub and small shower and replaced them with a large walk-in shower and dressing area even though we sit on a concrete slab. The removal was quick and clean. The team's respect for keeping my house clean and dust free was admirable. > The people they contract to do the tile, plumbing and electrical work were very easy to work with and most professional. The construction manager, Rusty, was a joy to have in my home and most accommodating. The only complaint I would have is the length of time it took to complete the job. **★★★★★ — ncmomma, July 2014** > We used Blue Ribbon in 2013 to update our kitchen (granite countertops, backsplash, new island, more lighting, hood above range, and painting). We first worked with John Sperath to scope the project and then he brought in John Devlin to help brainstorm ideas and manage the project to completion. Each tradesmen they brought it was professional, friendly, clean and great! We felt comfortable telling John Devlin about any concerns or changes we had and he was great working with us to ensure that the final result was something we were happy with. Based on our experience, I would highly recommend Blue Ribbon to anyone looking to have improvements done to their home. **★★★★★ — Capital Restoration, March 2014** > Blue Ribbon Construction completed several major projects to our home simultaneously: finishing the basement, adding an addition, adding a deck and decorative concrete work. The workmanship throughout was outstanding and we could not be happier with the results. A great deal of thought went into the design and building process and all the construction elements were so well coordinated that the whole process was smooth and ran on schedule. We highly recommend Blue Ribbon for any home remodel or addition you may be considering. ## Selected projects - [Dramatic Kitchen Update](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/dramatic-kitchen-update-pj-vj~1258635) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 11 - [Kitchen total makeover with cabinet refinishing & coffered ceiling](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/kitchen-total-makeover-with-cabinet-refinishing-and-coffered-ceiling-pj-vj~503779) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 16 - [Durham NC Master Bath Makeover](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/durham-nc-master-bath-makeover-pj-vj~414689) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 8 - [Holly Springs NC Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/holly-springs-nc-kitchen-pj-vj~421681) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 5 - [Kitchen Ideas](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/kitchen-ideas-pj-vj~50816) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 36 - [Tour of Remodeled Homes - Whole House Remodeling](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/tour-of-remodeled-homes-whole-house-remodeling-pj-vj~530104) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 30 - [Basic Kitchen Update](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/basic-kitchen-update-pj-vj~400746) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 12 - [North Raleigh Screened Porch & Deck](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/north-raleigh-screened-porch-and-deck-pj-vj~637103) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 18 - Description: This project removed an original lower deck and reconstructed the area including a screened porch and deck at the main house level. The view was very important as well as using the space for entertaining. Cable railings and large screened panels preserved the view and the grill area on the deck allows the owners to entertain right along side of the entertainment area. The custom features include marble tile, radiant heaters, and a Coyote gas grill in a stacked stone area with a granite counter s… - [Screened Porches](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/screened-porches-pj-vj~50813) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 18 - [Bonus Room Dormer Addition](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bonus-room-dormer-addition-pj-vj~414707) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 11 - [Stunning Kitchen Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/stunning-kitchen-remodel-pj-vj~7016957) - Location: Raleigh, NC - Photos: 11 - [2022 First Floor Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/2022-first-floor-remodel-pj-vj~7016955) - Location: Raleigh, NC - Photos: 5 - [Whole House Renovation Phase \#1 - Owner's Suite, Deck and Porch](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/whole-house-renovation-phase-1-owner-s-suite-deck-and-porch-pj-vj~7016952) - Location: Raleigh, NC - Photos: 9 - [Golf Course Home Outdoor Living](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/golf-course-home-outdoor-living-pj-vj~7016948) - Location: Raleigh, NC - Photos: 5 - [Raleigh Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/raleigh-kitchen-pj-vj~6795564) - Location: Raleigh, NC - Photos: 8 - [Cary Screened Porch](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/cary-screened-porch-pj-vj~6795554) - Location: Cary, NC - Photos: 5 - [Raleigh Attic Suite](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/raleigh-attic-suite-pj-vj~6795546) - Location: Raleigh, NC - Photos: 11 - [Holly Springs Whole House Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/holly-springs-whole-house-remodel-pj-vj~6795538) - Location: Holly Springs, NC - Photos: 19 - [Whole House Remodel with Gorgeous Detail](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/whole-house-remodel-with-gorgeous-detail-pj-vj~6431903) - Location: Durham, NC - Photos: 31 - [2020 Remodelers Home Tour Entry \#8](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/2020-remodelers-home-tour-entry-8-pj-vj~6384936) - Location: Cary, NC - Photos: 11 [See all 60 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/kitchen-and-bath-remodelers/blue-ribbon-residential-construction-inc-pfvwus-pf~1384177030) ## Ideabooks - [Kitchen Ideas](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/2456380/list/kitchen-ideas) — 36 ideas - [Screened Porch Ideas](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/2455865/list/screened-porch-ideas) — 18 ideas [See all 2 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/jsperath) ## Community Q&A **Q: What kind of hardware was used for the folding French doors ?** *(in Photo Questions)* I live on the Big island , they do not carry the hardware on any of the islands here. Suggestions please. A: Most door manufactuers of doors like this have their own propiratary style of hardware that comes with the doors. It is very hard to switch to a different style. **Q: Who makes the glass knobs?** *(in Photo Questions)* Who makes the glass knobs? A: They were ordered from Build.com. They have a large selection of pulls and knobs. **Q: cabinets** *(in Photo Questions)* Greetings John, can you tell me if the island cabinet in this photo was a resurface job, or if this was originally this color? thanks, Steve A: So sorry I missed your question. Just noticed I had an unanswered question. They started as natural Alder. We stripped and sanded the island, stained with oil based stain then finished in 40% sheen lacquer. The perimeter cabinets were solvent washed, lightly sanded then sprayed with 15% sheen white lacquer. **Q: Can you share the product information on the countertops?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: That countertop is a Quartz called Ice White. Some vendors have different names for this product. **Q: Hi, I love the clean look you accomplished. What are our countertops?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Carrara look quartz, stunning. **Q: What product is the clear sections?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: The triangular upper portions are just plate glass set into a frame with the entire lower area being stretched fiberglass screen. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
