J. M. Bryson Construction Management Inc.

John Bryson and his crew have completed two remodels for us. The first, was a gorgeous master bath remodel and the second a stunning new kitchen. John is polite, professional, and friendly and he always puts the quality of his work above all else. John's main carpenter, Paul is an absolute perfectionist in everything from faultless installation of cabinetry to flawless tiling to immaculate clean up every day. Even his electrical and plumbing subs are the best.

I am new to the area and didn’t have a clue about any construction firms in the area. Having been given two, I called J.M. Bryson and met John for a look through the area that was to be my in-law-suite in my daughter’s and son-in-law’s walk out basement. I am a stickler for quality workmanship and I got it with this firm. From the architect to the finish work, it was quality all the way. In addition, they were neat, professional,and courteous. I highly recommend this team to anyone and everyone.

John Bryson was the first contractor we met as we planned a remodel of our kitchen. After he left, I told my spouse that every other contractor would be compared to him; sure enough, they all paled in comparison. Not only is John focused on details and client service, but he is also extremely knowledgeable and has a very high standard of craftsmanship. He is easy to talk to and genuinely seems to enjoy building relationships with his clients. We partnered with John and Cypress Design on our kitchen remodel and were pleasantly surprised throughout the process. The design-build model really worked for us – there were no hidden fees or surprises and, because John and Cypress worked hand-in-hand, expectations were clear and roles were well-defined. Much of the work done on our space was completed by Paul, a true craftsman who could go hammer-to-hammer with the This Old House crew any day. I saw Paul almost every day – he supervised subs, addressed issues, and proactively reached out to make sure I was involved in decisions where necessary. Almost without exception, every sub was scheduled to avoid any downtime, and their work was held to the same incredibly high standard John sets for his own crew. Perhaps the easiest way to illustrate the type of person John is can be told with something that happened long after the kitchen project was complete. We were having some work done through RISE (completely unrelated to John’s crew or the kitchen project in any way) and one of their contractors damaged a water pipe. In a panic, my spouse called John for help. He guided her through everything she needed to know and offered to provide recommendations for restoration services. Of course we hired the plumbers we came to know during the kitchen remodel. Like John, they responded promptly and spent hours at our house that night to repair the damage. I would not hesitate to hire JM Bryson again for any project. In fact, we talk about “when” not “if” we’ll see John and Paul again. I’ve recommended them to others and look forward to working with them again.

John and his crew did a fabulous job in helping us complete our dream master bathroom. The bathroom came out perfect with no issues. The crew that he has worked with for many years are responsible, talented and dependable. From electricians, to plumbing, construction staff and tile work- everyone was easy to trust and deal with. If there were any questions, they helped to find the answers and worked with me, as the client. I'd hire them again for any other project needs.

We have been working with Bryson for a long time and they have done everything from the roof to the basement. This summer we replaced our old porch and added a patio. What a difference it made in our backyard and Bryson organized the whole project from dumpster to patio pavers. They always do remarkable work, extremely neat, organized, clean, reliable and trustworthy. Bryson always got back to us in a timely matter. They are very knowledgeable, and go above and beyond to handle issues that could arise. We would highly recommend JMBryson for any project. So much so that we are having him do another project for us this summer.

As we started thinking about our master bath remodel, all we heard was horror stories and how stressful it had been for some people when they did it. So it was important that we selected a true professional, after a few quotes we selected J.M. Bryson. Best decision we made, from the beginning conversations you could tell John knew what he was doing. The way they prepped the house, was outstanding. They covered everything and had these amazing floor liners for the heavy used areas. Also placed dust walls to protect our bedroom. Paul, one of John’s team member was a dream to work with. He was immaculate, always cleaning after each days work. His work is beyond words, from demo to cabinetry and tile. Everything that he did was perfection. It was very exciting to come home every day and see the progress. John had the keys to our house so his sub contractors could do their work, we always felt everyone was cautions thru the house and no damage was done. John and team were a pleasure to work with and always there if needed. If I called, emailed or texted John would always reply very promptly. John was right on with his quote and project timing, so you can rest assured what he gives you is honest and true. Best decision we ever made was to hire J.M. Bryson, and will always used them for future projects.

We worked with John and his team on an extensive renovation of our kitchen and laundry room, and also some work on the dining room - big project that dominated the back half of our house. The work happened from July - November 2017. We redid the kitchen completely, extensively changed the laundry room including adding a door to the backyard, eliminated a wall between the kitchen and living room, and more. All new floors, cabinetry, counters, kitchen island, washer/dryer installation, vent placement, etc. All aspects of the experience were fantastic. The results are beautiful - we've been in the space for about 2 months and we're so happy with how everything looks and works. The process was great too. John is very communicative and clear about what's happening. Everyone who was in our house worked hard, was polite, and engaged us in the process every step of the way. Our big project was both on time and within the budget. When challenges did arise due to aspects of design or other factors, John and his team solved them creatively every time. I enthusiastically recommend J.M. Bryson Construction Management - and in fact, we hope to work with them again in the future when we take on additional home renovation needs.

After hearing and reading so many renovation nightmares from friends and online, we were quite nervous about finding a good contractor to renovate our master bathroom. We were impressed at the first meeting with John and he never failed to impress through the entire project. John cares about his customers, making sure he understands the project details, quickly addressing any concerns, and creatively addressing unexpected situations based on his extensive knowledge. He takes pride in the quality of his work and hold his crews to the same high standards. He proactively made sure we were aware of the progress vs. the proposed timeline, explaining anticipated delays or schedule changes. He honored his quote for the project, making sure that we were aware how some of our later changes affected the bottom line. Finally, John is a genuinely nice guy, happy to share his thoughts if asked and never condescending or impatient. Can't wait to work with JM Bryson on the next project!

John Bryson (and company) did a full-scale remodel of my small kitchen in Providence RI, during the summer of 2016. They stripped the old kitchen down to the studs, replaced a section of supporting wall with a header beam, resized a window, upgraded the electrical service, and relocated and plumbed a powder room. They also replaced a supporting wall in my basement that they discovered to be failing. The initial estimate for the work was ~$75K, and the final cost (including the added structural repairs) came to slightly under $100K. Overall, I was very satisfied with the experience. The initial estimate was toward the low end of the contractors that I interviewed, and despite the add-ons, the total cost was reasonable for the work involved. John, his project manager/carpenter Paul, and the various subs were all extremely professional, helpful, and quite willing to explain what they were doing and to brainstorm about alternative approaches. A+ for both quality and communication. The finished job gets frequent compliments from my guests, and although I'm still not living in a Newport (or even Barrington) mansion, I feel as though I got excellent value for my money. This was not a fire-and-forget, no-budget, white-glove job, so if your project is at the very high end, my experience may not be relevant. But for a medium-sized, value-conscious project, J.M. Bryson was ideal. I will certainly call them again, if I have a similar project in the future.

I have worked with JM Bryson at least 4 times. They created a beautiful sunroom addition along with a renovated kitchen and walk out deck, fully renovated a bathroom and 1/2 bath and opened up the walls in a Cape to create a beautiful living room space, including built-ins. John is meticulous in his work. They always arrive when promised and leave the sight clean. You get what you pay for with JM Bryson!

Our experience with J.M. Bryson Construction Management was excellent! From the first time we called for an estimate right up until the project was completed John, Paul and everyone associated with them was thorough, professional, accommodating and talented. Our new kitchen and bathroom is more beautiful than we could even imagined when we made the decision to renovate. John and his crew gave great advice, precise estimates and were incredibly generous with their time when we had questions. Every deadline was met on time and every schedule was adhered to. John, or anyone working for him, was on time every time. If John said he was going to do something, it was started when he said it would be and completed on time. I really can't say enough about how well our project was taken care of from beginning to end.

John and his team were fantastic. They made living through a major construction project easy. They were extremely thorough and did a great job adding small touches that made our new space very special.

Quality work, trustworthy and qualified associates. Might not be the low bidder but you get what you pay for and you will be pleased with the end product. We have no problem recommending John to our family and friends.

Complete primary bath renovation. I was familiar with John's work and asked him to take on this project in our home. His approach to defining all aspects of the project is excellent and he clearly defines expectations and responsibilities of all parties involved in the process, including the homeowner. There were no surprises over the 4 weeks spent on this project. John brings a wealth of experience to the task and a group of skilled resources who share his focus on delivering a high quality job. His crew are all client focused, highly skilled and a pleasure to have in your home. All renovation projects are a challenge. John understands this and makes facing the challenge as easy and painless for the homeowner. I highly recommend him as an outstanding professional.

John and his team put a second story addition onto my house. We turned it from a 3 bedroom ranch to a 4 Bedroom Dormered Cape. We present John and his team with renderings of what we wanted and he made it happen. It was no easy task to accomplish while my husband and I and our children lived in the home during the construction. Their planning was great. They took off the roof and added the new walls etc. and buttoned up the entire second floor before they broke through to the first floor so that there was minimal dust and mess. Everything was exceptionally done. Brilliant craftsman. I highly recommend J.M. Bryson and his team for your next renovation. They do excellent work! I love my house!

John and his team completely remodeled two bathrooms for us as well as several smaller projects ! The bathrooms are beautiful ! We are so pleased with our remodels. John and Paul are wonderful to work with as well as each of the subcontractors that they recommended. We would definitely recommend J. M. Bryson for any home remodeling project.

J.M Bryson Builders did a beautiful job renovating my condo when I bought it 4 1/2 years ago. John and his team were able to refer me to a network of professionals who had the vision to transform the unit. The most notable suggestion was to move the location of the stove to accommodate a larger refrigerator and make the space easier to work in. His team thought of every detail including extending the floor tiles through the laundry area to maintain the flow of the space. I would and have highly recommended JM Bryson Builders.

We have worked on numerous projects with John over the last 7 years. He and his team are extremely professional and knowledgeable. His attention to detail is remarkable. One of the many great reasons working with John is so easy are his communication skills. It is very easy to reach out to him for any questions or assistance and he is always open for suggestions to make the project go a little smoother.

I have had the privilege of providing design services to John's design/build clients for over a decade now. John is a really great communicator, which is very important in the build process, and his work is excellent. John and his team care greatly about the details and it shows in the work they do. I highly recommend hiring John and his team for your next design/build project.
