“We chose Grain & Steel after meeting with several builders to expand our master bathroom, walk in closet and add a 3 season room below. We had some challenges as we didn't want the addition to impact our existing family room on the first floor. We felt comfortable with Keith immediately. He was the only builder who came back with an initial design concept and a rough estimate of the costs right away. Keith then introduced us to a fantastic architect who provided a detailed plan that blew us away. It was honestly way more elaborate than we envisioned - a 2 level spa like bathroom, huge walk in with custom shelving and a beautiful 3 season room below. However, when we met with Keith to review the design and renderings, he assured us that the end result was going to be EXACTLY what was depicted and that is what we got. From the first shovel to lay the foundation, to the final finish details, every step of the project was executed perfectly. All of Keith's subcontractors (framers, roofers, electricians, plumbers, finish carpenters and tile, flooring, painters etc) were all skilled and professional. Along the way Keith consulted with us on several details and made suggestions that made the end result even better. Keith personally did all the custom shelving in the new walk in closet. We could not be happier with Grain & Steel - we would recommend them without reservation.”

“Thank you for a fantastic kitchen installation. Too big of a job for me to juggle subcontractors and I feel fortunate to have found Kling Brothers. Your cabinet installer/carpenter and all of your subs did fantastic work. There was an amazing attention to detail from day one. This is our “forever” home and we will spend many years admiring our new kitchen.”

“Another review started with "5 stars aren't enough", and we have to agree that this really sums up the experience of working with Vincent Troy and Troy Construction, as we believe a statement like this is only warranted when your expectations have been significantly exceeded, which ours were in all aspects pertaining to the construction project involving our home. Our project wrapped up in Feb 2021 and, while we expected to have this review up sooner, this has given us time to evaluate the experience with some additional perspective and reflect on the enormity of what Vin was able to accomplish in building a home that is beyond what we imagined. We met Vin towards the end of 2019 and not only immediately got along very well with him but also recognized the expertise, skillset, dedication, ethics and experience he brought to the table. Ultimately, all of these personal qualities would become critically important as we maneuvered through the pre-contractual process and then signed our contract in early March 2020, a couple of weeks before everything shut down due to the pandemic. Having initially planned to start at the end of March 2020, we actually got underway in the 1st half of June and, from then on and throughout the project, all of those previously mentioned attributes were acutely important to every step of the process. Our project was a substantial renovation of an existing home, preserving a small percentage of the 1st floor and completely tearing down and replacing the rest of the house and adding an entirely new 2nd floor, essentially doubling the total square footage. The project was ambitious in its scope and scale by design, but the challenge of completing it was compounded unpredictably in seemingly every way imaginable by the pandemic, which created obstacles, disruptions, delays, etc at every turn. And, while critically important anyway, it was these very challenges that made the previously mentioned attributes that Vincent personally brings to the table essential. It's still surprising to us that, even with the challenges and the several changes we ourselves introduced (added a bathroom, moved a mechanical room, infrastructure and cosmetic enhancements, etc), Vin was able to get us back in our home within the original timeframe from our revised start date and complete the project on budget, all while very clearly not cutting any corners in the process. To us, this is astounding and to deliver a home that our family loves and truly enjoys living in in the process is a real achievement. Furthermore, I cannot thank Vin and the team of professionals he brings to the table enough for the respect they showed our family and neighbors throughout the project, treating our home, the job site, street and our neighbors with respect while clearly doing their best to minimize disruptions and not create inconvenience. We love and appreciate our house every day and are grateful to have worked with Vincent Troy and Troy Construction.”
