Froehler Construction. They were able to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. > We bought a house built in 1960 and JMF remodeled it for us. They gutted the kitchen, half bath, and master bedroom, building us a new kitchen, powder room, laundry room, dining and sun room, and a new master bedroom, walk-in closet, and master bathroom. The original square footage was 1,803 and 965 sq. ft. was added on. The house didn't have a front porch so they built us a lovely front porch that my swing would fit onto. We have a new deck and new roof, also. > Matt, Mike, and Brian were a joy to work with, giving incredible attention to detail. > We couldn't be more satisfied with the final result and recommend them 100%. > All of the work was done with us being out of town, by the way. **★★★★★ — Architectural Art, Dec. 2018** > From our first meeting to project completion, we were impressed with the quality of workmanship, professionalism and communication. The Froehler team was attentive to our needs throughout the project and stayed on track with deadlines. We were very pleased with the whole process and the end results. **★★★★★ — Flora Quick, Dec. 2018** > Great job on a screened porch addition to our home! The design team worked out a clever solution that now looks like it was part of the original construction. They took care of the job site like it was their own home when an unexpected winter storm threatened to invade our home mid-construction. While I was out of town for 80% of the build, we communicated through the phone app with pictures, messages, and the foreman kept the project moving smoothly. Highly recommend Froehler Construction for the quality of the work and commitment to delivering a customer focused experience. **★★★★★ — Mandy Gift, Dec. 2018** > My husband and I worked with Mike, Matt, JR, and Brian to build our custom house. It was an absolutely wonderful experience! They are all smart, quick to respond, careful, attentive, available, and a ton of fun. From the beginning they did a great job of understanding what we wanted and as a result they priced our house just right. A lot of contractors lead with a low number and then surprise you along the way with higher costs. The only surprises on our project were our choice. The other pleasant surprise - they finished our house when they said they would. They told us at the beginning it would take approximately 9 months to build (we were surprised by that), and they got it right! When we hit a snag they were always quick to think through a solution and resolve it quickly. We will never use another builder again - these are our "go-to" guys for every future project. We can't recommend them strongly enough! **★★★★★ — Alexander and Janice Chako, Dec. 2018** > We hired the Froehler Brothers Matthew and Mike to do an extensive renovation and addition to our beach home in 2016. Right from the start of the project, it was clear they were professional, honest, expert, friendly, and communicative, so that they and their team and us always wound up on the same page. Not only did they develop a timely working plan and adhered to the time line, but the inevitable adjustments and revisions were melded smoothly along the way, and they had many great ideas to come to an exquisite result. For those interested, our house is featured as the Mid Century Modern home on the houzz web site. > Choosing a builder is like finding that doctor or lawyer...significant time, money and effort and communication are vital to a satisfactory outcome. AAA \[affable, able, available\] is what we wanted, and we added an A for amazing when all was said and done. We recommend them without any reservations! **★★★★★ — Mike & Mackenzie Codington, Nov. 2018** > We hired JMF Construction for our kitchen renovation, which included removing a structural wall and installing all new cabinets, countertops, light fixtures and most appliances. We could not have been more pleased with the project from start to finish. Matt, Mike and our Project Lead, Brian were both personal and professional. They thoroughly understood our vision and were meticulously focused and involved from demo to final inspection to ensure that we were satisfied with the progress in each phase. Their quality of work is second to none, and while they take great pride in their craftsmanship, their concern for their clients' happiness could not be more genuine. We did not move out during this remodel and they were wonderful about cleaning up the work site each and every night. The project began on schedule and finished EARLY! Seriously, these guys are amazing and worth every penny!!! **★★★★★ — Harry Fukasawa, Nov. 2018** > J.M.Froeler is truly professional. Great people with great quality and great results. After completion, we asked for multiple work through and they have made everything right. > Perfect outcome. Thank you all. **★★★★★ — Doreen Buffa, Jan. 2017** > I have personally worked with John Froehler on a project and found him to be extraordinarily detailed oriented. I would definitely recommend J.M. Froehler Construction to anyone needing work in their area! **★★★★★ — Susan and Andy Atkins, Nov. 2016** > We have hired JM Froehler Construction for two major rennovations to our older home- one being a remodel of our den wet bar and powder room and the most recent rennovation of an upstairs bathroom. Being novices at remodeling, the first time we met with Matt and his team, we are truly greatful to have worked with them and are amazed how they listen to your thoughts and ideas, then add their expertise to finish the job at hand. Our project manager Dustin was a delight to work with and the subcontrators they use are the best. Because of that, we have a beautiful home. Thank you Matt, Mike and Dustin for a wonderful job! We highly recommend JM Froehler Construction. Andy & Susan Atkins . > , **★★★★★ — Bob and Cathy Twomey, Nov. 2016** > JM Froehler is one othe best companies we have ever worked with. > Totally professional, right on budget and exemplary oversight by field > supervisors. Excellent quality of work! We would not hesitate to recommend this company or work with them again in the future. **★★★★★ — V Barnhart, Nov. 2016** > J.M. Froehler did a kitchen renovation for us and we couldn't be more pleased. During bidding and design, they listened to our goals, offered constructive suggestions as to how to accomplish them and respected our budget limitations. During construction, they communicated with us daily, consulted us when unanticipated issues arose, left the house tidy each day and were just a pleasure to deal with. They will be our first and only call on our next renovation project.. Sincerely, a Froehler Fan. **★★★★★ — Kelsey Grice, Aug. 2016** > This renovation was a joy! John, Matt, Mike and Dustin all worked above and beyond to make everything happen perfectly, every day. > Our 1972 built house developed problems in the 20 years we have lived here, some were initial construction flaws, others simply from age and usage. We renovated the kitchen and laundry room, tore out closets, expanded the master bath and replaced the floors. From the initial vision, to handling the unexpected, incorporating our ever increasing input as we became savvy renovators, everyone was superb. Every subcontractor came with a terrific attitude, every problem had an innovative solution, no problem too small or large. Our experience with J.M. Frohler was exceptional, and phase 2 is already in our minds. ## Selected projects - [Custom Home 2018](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/custom-home-2018-pj-vj~5824295) - Location: Virginia Beach, VA - Photos: 22 - Description: 2018 Custom Home built for a client in Virginia Beach, VA.
