Over the years in CNY, we have worked with several different contractors with mixed results. I am happy that we found Brown Lion. They were responsive to our calls, listened to what we wanted and delivered a quality result. They helped us create a highly functional design that looks great, and the crew was courteous and clean throughout the build. We will be going back to them for future work. **Comment from Brown Lion Custom Builders:** > Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review. So happy with the outcome of this project and we are glad you are enjoying this new functional and beautiful space. **★ — HU-275957928, July 2021** > Do not use these people! We had a contract, they took a large deposit and never did the job. Refused to return the deposit. They did not return e-mails, texts, and calls. Had to sue them to get our deposit back. **★★★★★ — Laura Rose, April 2020** > We can't say enough positive things about Brown Lion Custom Builders. Ron, Tim and the entire crew...including Justin were amazing. They were super responsive to all of our questions and concerns. We couldn't be happier! **★★★★★ — Karen Koch, Jan. 2020** > Absolutely beautiful work... super easy to work with.. design process was simple and the end product exceeded my expectations!!! I would highly recommend.. you will not be sorry! **★★★★★ — Stan Avery, Dec. 2019** > Ron, Tim, Justin and crew did a excellent job on our 3-season porch remodel. Great design support, master carpentry, and flexible, professional service. We are very pleased with the finished product and will be signing up for another project very soon. **Comment from Brown Lion Custom Builders:** > This project came out incredible. We are glad that you are happy with the work. We look forward to working together on the next project. **★★★★★ — kasey oropallo, June 2019** > I had Brown Lion come in and put in all new interior, exterior doors, new light fixtures, and a new faucet. They did an awesome job. I am very pleased with the workmanship, timing, and overall experience. It took a few days to complete the job and they were very clean in the house and working areas. I couldn't be happier. It changed the whole look of my home. When it's time do other general contractor work, I'll definitely being calling on them again. **★★★★★ — Lori Kozlowski, May 2019** > We hired this company to add a three season room onto our house. The work that was done, was above and beyond what I expected. They arrived on time each day, and completed the job within the agreed upon time, despite numerous days of dealing with inclement weather. The crew leader, is a perfectionist and definitely takes pride in his work. The owners were courteous and diligent in making sure that we were satisfied with the work being done throughout the whole process. We are looking forward to hiring them again for a construction project on our front porch. **★★★★★ — Kelly Fumarola, May 2019** > We hired Brown Lion to renovate parts of our 130+ year-old home. They did a fantastic job. The crew was personable and very skilled at their craft. They performed the work with high attention to detail and always left the site clean when they left. Their love of-- and familiarity with-- older homes was evident in the details they designed and worked on, making the renovations fit seamlessly within the character of our home. We will be hiring them again soon to complete some renovations to our "new" older home that we recently moved into. We highly recommend Brown Lion. **★★★★★ — Rick P., May 2019** > Ron, Tim and crew are outstanding. Quality of work is exceptional... and the team is friendly, responsive and easy to work with. They have done everything from dormer replacement on a steep roof for a rental property of mine, to a custom guest bath in my personal residence. Would highly recommend. **★★★★ — Sarah Fitzgerald, April 2019** > We hired Brown Lion to remodel our home to make space for a mud room/laundry area and expand our pantry. This involved moving a wall, relocating duct work and pipes, adding plumbing for a sink, and building mud room bench & shelving. Ron & Tim were easy to work with and kept our list of decisions to be made and options very clear. The crew who performed the work were very personable, trustworthy and took great pride in their work. It was a pleasure having them in our home with our young children during the course of the project. The new space came out wonderfully. ## Selected projects - [Oswego - Kitchen Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/oswego-kitchen-remodel-pj-vj~5639981) - Location: Oswego, NY - Photos: 3 - [New Home - Classic Nantucket Charm](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/new-home-classic-nantucket-charm-pj-vj~5639989) - Location: Fayetteville, NY - Photos: 19 - [Liverpool Custom Siding](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/liverpool-custom-siding-pj-vj~5685092) - Location: Liverpool, NY - Photos: 4 - [Fayetteville - Kitchen Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/fayetteville-kitchen-remodel-pj-vj~5639972) - Location: Fayetteville, NY - Photos: 5 [See all 4 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/design-build-firms/brown-lion-custom-builders-pfvwus-pf~436551714) ## Ideabooks - [Heaton - Office ideas](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/182932595/list/heaton-office-ideas) — 4 ideas - [Segretto Bath](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/176824710/list/segretto-bath) — 6 ideas - [Son - Porch ideas - enclosing with Panels](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/180689994/list/son-porch-ideas-enclosing-with-panels) — 5 ideas - [Hoke - front door Eyebrow](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/178293631/list/hoke-front-door-eyebrow) — 2 ideas - [Lind Exterior remodel project](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/176910660/list/lind-exterior-remodel-project) — 7 ideas - [Fesko Master bath](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/164477609/list/fesko-master-bath) — 10 ideas - [Anderson - Kitchen Remodel](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/176502238/list/anderson-kitchen-remodel) — 15 ideas - [Robertson - Office and porch addition](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/176502147/list/robertson-office-and-porch-addition) — 25 ideas - [New trends and likes](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/174132243/list/new-trends-and-likes) — 9 ideas - [Soyster Living room ideas](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/164528614/list/soyster-living-room-ideas) — 5 ideas - [Barney](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/27017744/list/barney) — 8 ideas - [Hickey/Apostolokas Exterior](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/161006086/list/hickey-apostolokas-exterior) — 6 ideas - [Fesko Office Study](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/165378869/list/fesko-office-study) — 11 ideas - [Heaton’s kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/158798373/list/heaton-s-kitchen) — 15 ideas - [Pat Heaton’s Living Room Shelves](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/158798159/list/pat-heaton-s-living-room-shelves) — 11 ideas - [Fesko Kitchen](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/145749226/list/fesko-kitchen) — 4 ideas - [Demartini’s Fireplace Wall](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/156845201/list/demartini-s-fireplace-wall) — 6 ideas - [Connolly Exterior Siding](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/149559726/list/connolly-exterior-siding) — 2 ideas - [Aupperle cupola](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/61745781/list/aupperle-cupola) — 4 ideas - [Gallagher master bath](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/147943845/list/gallagher-master-bath) — 2 ideas [See all 25 ideabooks](https://www.houzz.com/ideabooks/users/ronfes) --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
