Every detail is a work of art. This project was an Ocean Front Guest House in Old Orchard Beach, Maine that deserved a great contractor like Jason Holden. As a licensed contractor in Massachusetts, I would not hesitate to recommend Holden Building Company to anyone who is about to embark on a project that requires and deserves the utmost attention to detail an professionalism. On a more personal note my wife Cindy agrees 100 % with my above testimony and she thinks the world of Jason, **★★★★★ — Doug Lund-Yates, Dec. 2019** > Great team. Always turned up for the job and did very professional and eye for detail work. We first hired them to do a complete renovation of our kitchen back in Jan 2019 and they did such a great job that we retained them to replace two of our exterior doors. We also had them tear down our old deck and replace it with a nice new upgraded one. Very happy with the results. Jason was always there on site to oversee the work performed by his crew and answer any questions that we had. We definitely recommend them. **★★★★★ — Jen Harder, Dec. 2019** > Jason was awesome to work with all around. We completely gutted our upstairs and added a dormer to our home, and he was helpful every step of the way. Jason’s work is beautiful, he was very responsive via email and phone, helpful when we had specific questions, and patient when we wanted to edit or change something. On top of it all, he was the most personable contractor we met with. He came highly recommended to us, and we recommend him to you! **Comment from Holden Building & Carpentry:** > Thank you very much Jen! We enjoyed working with you on your renovation! **★★★★★ — Ruth Gibson, Dec. 2019** > The workmanship was of the highest quality. My modest Portland duplex was built between 1900 and 1920 and the last 20 years as a rental dwelling have not been kind to it. When my brother and I decided to make this our retirement home, we knew there was a lot of delayed maintenance, but never expected both dormers and the chimney to be, quite literally, falling off. Jason delivered the bad news with as much sympathy as possible but it simply was not a viable plan to go ahead with our dream for a grand family room without investing in the infrastructure. Fortunately, I had not put all my financial resources into the build plan without have a considerable percentage assigned to "other". I had to scale back on some of my wish list ( no heated floor or completely handmade tile bathroom) but the end product is terrific! **Comment from Holden Building & Carpentry:** > Thank you Ruth! It was an absolute pleasure working with you to bring your project to life and add the new livable space that was once just storage. We were very pleased at how awesome the new space looks and excited for you to be able to use it! **★★★★★ — Joel McCann, Dec. 2019** > Holden building did an excellent job on the repair project at my home. Jason looked at scope of work, gave me a quote that was fair and started the job on the date agreed upon. His is crew personable, and professional and took the extra time to make sure that the job site was cleaned up after each day. I signed a contract before work started and was pleased that as unforeseen hurdles popped up that they were able to fit the work into the time frame of the project with minimal up charges for materials. **Comment from Holden Building & Carpentry:** > Joel we had a lot of fun working with you to fix the exterior of your home. Thank you for leaving us a great review, we really appreciate it! **★★★★★ — HU-67385258, Nov. 2019** > Jason is a master craftsman, with amazing attention to detail and a courteous, professional attitude. I've never known his work to be less than the apex of quality, and he continues to strive toward further excellence with every project. **Comment from Holden Building & Carpentry:** > Thank you for your vote in confidence! We feel that your kind words are a great way to describe our approach and mindset. **★★★★★ — Barbie Reed, Nov. 2019** > Holden Building & Carpentry - very professional from start to finish. > > I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this company for building and carpentry projects.
