He took our deposit then proceeded to communicate horribly for 3 months with zero progress, producing zero deliverables that were promised. Each time we DID hear from him, there were many excuses, then the communication void would begin again. > > Finally, we fired him. Took him to small claims court and won. AND HE HASN'T PAID US WHAT THE COURT ORDERED. > 0/10 do not recommend. **★★★★★ — fredrach, Sept. 2019** > Grantham Building and Remodeling recently put new windows in our home, including interior and exterior trim. We are extremely pleased. Jeff Grantham is the kind of contractor everyone hopes to find. He is talented, creative and dedicated to doing the job right. Working with Jeff is easy and pleasant. He asked if he could work with us to improve the trim design of a prominent feature on our home exterior. With our ok he proposed the changes and made models to show how it would work. This was certainly beyond what was expected. We agreed and are certainly very pleased with the result. When the job was completed, Jeff came back and power-washed the house. It was like getting a new house! **★★★★★ — Advance Cabinetry MI, Nov. 2013** > Grantham Building and Remodeling is a great company to work with. We have been privileged enough to work with Jeff and his team and the experience was great from start to finish. They are very knowledgeable and a great company to work with. **★★★★★ — licatach, July 2013** > Grantham Building and Remodeling finished the stairwell to an unfinished basement. The work done met or exceeded all expectations. The craftsmanship of the work is of the highest quality. Jeff's knowledge and experience helped take a raw area of our home to one of our favorite places in the house. The contractors Jeff utilized were professional and always clean. The team took the utmost care in ensuring all the dust, fumes, etc were contained in the work area. The timeline of the project was longer than expected, but the results were worth the wait. **★★★★★ — primokel, Jan. 2013** > GBR has helped us with several remodeling projects over the past few years. Jeff not only has great experience and expertise, he is attentive and respectful of his clients wishes and desires. He is diligent and dedicated to achieving amazing results. I would, and do, recommend him to anyone who is building or remodeling a home. ## Selected projects - [Trundle Bed](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/trundle-bed-pj-vj~138286) - Location: Beaver Island, MI - Photos: 3 - [Portfolio](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/portfolio-pj-vj~138358) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 3 - [Bay Harbor Lakefront Home](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/bay-harbor-lakefront-home-pj-vj~138377) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 6 [See all 3 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/design-build-firms/grantham-building-and-remodeling-llc-pfvwus-pf~2080715357) ## Ideabooks - [Laforet](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/139703726/list/laforet) — 2 ideas - [Anthony](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/122636397/list/anthony) — 1 idea - [Schulte](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/119476632/list/schulte) — 1 idea - [Wish List](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/104837951/list/wish-list) — 8 ideas - [Hankey](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/103493733/list/hankey) — 2 ideas - [Brown](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/91609784/list/brown) — 1 idea - [Bowman](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/80590780/list/bowman) — 4 ideas - [Pearl Street](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/80465408/list/pearl-street) — 1 idea - [Baxter](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/58910946/list/baxter) — 10 ideas - [Greenspan](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/55119581/list/greenspan) — 24 ideas - [Squiers](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/54902005/list/squiers) — 18 ideas - [Hill Street Fireplace Wall](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/51832875/list/hill-street-fireplace-wall) — 10 ideas - [Day](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/46275641/list/day) — 1 idea - [Quarry Ridge](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/44960482/list/quarry-ridge) — 13 ideas - [Doctor](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/43776179/list/doctor) — 8 ideas - [Grove Street Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/6391319/list/grove-street-remodel) — 15 ideas - [Village Beach](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/22122538/list/village-beach) — 13 ideas - [Haven ideas](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/6375962/list/haven-ideas) — 63 ideas - [Beds](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/19615046/list/beds) — 1 idea [See all 19 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/gbr49770) ## Community Q&A **Q: Exterior Color** *(in Photo Questions)* Do you happen to know the exterior paint color code? thanks. A: Thanks for asking. The siding, all cedar shake, is Benjamin Moore \#317 Hay Stack with Standard White trim. **Q: Looks great. What type of finish did you use on the ceiling?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Thanks for asking. The ceiling is tongue and groove pine with a clear polyurethane finish. This is a staple product in most small mills and is easy to install with its end-matched profile. We did add some simple edge detail to the perimeter of the room and the peak at the ceiling and build a box for the ceiling fan to mount on a flat solid surface. **Q: What colour is the grey paint?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Thanks for asking. We're very proud of our projects and the spaces they create for our clients and their families to enjoy. The wall color is Valspar, Signature, Studio \#ar1319 throughout. On the left of this photo, natural light is flooding the wall and makes it lighter, whereas with incandescent lighting in the back, the walls appear darker. The serenity in the space is created by the tone of the paint, that's for sure. **Q: What time of stone was used for the columns?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: It was Boulder Creek, Cliffstone, Montour installed in a stacked stone look. We colored mortar with black additive to further hide the mortar and give deeper shadow lines. http://www.bouldercreekstone.com/products/stone/CS **Q: Please tell me where to get the tin tiles & the pattern \# Thnks** *(in Photo Questions)* A: I sourced the tin panels from W.F. Norman Co in Missouri. (www.wfnorman.com) The tiles are stock but the pattern is our own to fit the complicated kitchen plan. The pattern was laid out on paper and the ligthing, speakers, fire suppression heads and crown moulding from the cabinets and trim as well as the kitchen island and furniture placement were all considered in the layout during construction. A lot of painstaking planning was done so that this was a precision fit with all of the penetrations. The room is about forty feet deep and 18 feet wide. **Q: Beautiful! Could you please tell me the dimensions of the stone columns?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: The Boulder Creek stone columns are 20"x20"x27" and the limestone caps are 24"x24"x2" and the site built AZEK tapered columns are 18"x18"x60" (tapers to 14" at top) --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
