Colours did a great job on our office renovation project. They were highly responsive and diligent, navigating through pandemic-related delays with professionalism and courtesy. We hired them for a small residential project as a result, and they delivered in a timely manner. We would definitely hire them again.

I have used Colours Construction for four major jobs over the last 15 years. They have constructed an outdoor deck, they have painted both the interior and exterior of my house, they have remodeled both my kitchen and two bathrooms and they have converted an empty bedroom into a utility room. Their work has always been top notch and I would not hesitate on calling on them for any future projects. Their work is very professional and their prices are good.

Over the course of several years, East Hampton based contractor Colours Construction, has performed several high quality construction projects on our properties.
These building projects included a high end kitchen remodel, bathroom remodel, exterior enhancements, and an upgrade to the face of the property.
On each occasion, Mr. Claflin and his team at Colours Construction displayed a high level of professionalism and top quality work which was reflected in the finished product.
Unlike many other contractors in the region, Colours Construction was punctual, dependable, and performed top quality work at a fair, reasonable price. We would sincerely recommend them.

Jennifer and John Claflin of Colours Construction were excellent general contractors. They were attentive to our needs and supplied all that we asked for in our renovation. Jennifer was helpful in getting the shower door that we wanted. The kitchen cabinet company that Colours recommended was excellent. Jennifer provided support when needed and we would highly recommend Colours Construction for any project that you have.

As an interior designer who works with many contractors, I found Colours to be top notch. Jenn is an excellent project manager. It is rare to find a contractor that is this efficient and on top of the project timeline and details. It made my life much easier. She and John did great work. I completely trust them and will use them again.

Colours Construction just completed a full renovation of my house and I cannot give enough praise to John and Jenn for the outstanding job and quality of work their team did. The house looks beautiful! To put this in context, I live overseas and so communications while the work was ongoing was one of the biggest challenges, but both John and Jenn made a point to regularly communicate and to lay out the various options when issues arose. Being overseas, “trust” was also a big concern and I can say that Colours Construction was fully transparent in outlining the costs of different pieces of work. When change orders were needed, the estimates provided were reasonable and within my expectations. And finally, when the building inspector came to inspect the house to issue the Occupancy Certificate, we passed with flying Colors! All and all, I had a great experience working with Colours Construction and give them my highest recommendation to anybody looking for a General Contractor. Well done John and Jenn!

Excellent company, highly professional, great people.
We've hired Colours a number of times over the last two years for a variety of projects. Remodeling a large master bathroom, fixing the house insulation, repairing damage done by a burst pipe, repairing various house exterior issues - always prompt, clean, reasonable, honest pricing. Colours will be the first place we will call with remodeling projects in the future.

Project was on time and on budget. Expanded budget was due to owner requested changes, which were done expeditiously and at fair price.
Family business with good local reputation. Easy to work with and timely responses to questions or issues.

John and Jenn at Colours were fantastic to work with! They helped us completely renovate our condo while we were hundreds of miles away, and were fair, on time, and professional at every stage. It was one of the best experiences we've had hiring a contractor - we would use them again and would highly recommend them to others!

My husband found Colours Construction after an extensive search for contractors in our area.
We chose John and Jenn after our first meeting with them. We had a gut feeling that they would not only do a good job, but be honest and fair. They have exceeded our expectations and have gone the extra mile.
We initially were going to only update the kitchen and replace all the windows in the house, but seeing their work decided to bite the bullet and renovate the entire house, which needed it. With each change order they have been fair and eager to work with us, even helped with some design decisions.
Over all I highly recommend them and look forward to working with them again.

John, Jenn and team were great. Our new back patio door installation involved removing existing door and window and rebuilding the interior and exterior wall to accommodate the larger sliding door. We also installed new stairs. The work was exceptional from start to finish. The construction team really paid attention to detail and also made sure the work was done really cleanly so that we could live in the space while it was being done. The project was done quickly and we were consulted along the way ensuring we were happy with the result. Looking forward to doing more projects with these guys!

The project included renovating and reconfiguring the kitchen, a very tricky living room floor replacement, renovating a bathroom with under-floor heating , refinishing bedroom floor, painting house interior and building a new mahogany deck.

I have used John and Jenn Claflin of Colours Construction for the past 16 years as home remodeling professionals on many occasions and a variety of projects. Projects ranged from conceptualizing and converting old rooms to new uses to replacing a smoke and carbon monoxide detector system. In each of these projects they were knowledgeable and professional. The quality of their work was exceptional. They did not go over budgets proposed in contracts and met proposed deadlines. I highly recommend John and Jenn Claflin of Colours Construction.

Having worked with John Claflin of Colours Construction for many years, I can only give the highest praises for their continued quality of work and their attention to detail.
It's a first class, blue-chip firm. John is a knowledgeable, personable, and service-oriented person. He has comprehensive knowledge of construction and knows how to respond to client requests. John also does an extremely thorough job of project management. A client doesn't have to ask him if we are on schedule and budget, he makes certain we are.
This is a very special company and John is a terrific representative of their work ethic and values.

Anywhere from 2500 ft.² to 7000 square-foot homes. Involving new construction and renovations. Some of the projects with the people living in the house. They are probably one of the most organized and detailed companies we've ever worked with.

John did the second floor addition to our home in easthampton over 15 years ago and there was not a day then or since that we have regretted using him. to say he is knowledgeable, pleasant and patient is an understatement. having used several contractors, i know from experience that it is a rare combination. his work is always perfect and he is there every step of the way with you - and always smiles and keeps with you - through all changes and mistakes. and beyond all that you can call him fifteen years later in an emergency, and he will be right there with you and will
remember your past project and help you with the next phase of your home renovation. how many contractors take that time and interest in your needs. i can not recommend colours construction more highly. i would be happy to speak with anyone thinking of hiring john and colours construction.

We've worked with Colours on multiple projects over seven years. Colours has never failed to deliver! They have completely transformed our generic spec house into the home we've always dreamed about. The best part about working with John Claflin and his team is the constant interactive collaboration before and during the process. John is very creative and brought his years of experience to the execution of every project. Literally every project turned out far better than we had envisioned. We still have a couple of projects to go with Colours. We're only sad we're running out of space! The most recent project was an attached garage and 900 square foot apartment. It's stunning.

John started working with A Direct back in 2004! [woah! 10 years flew right by]. John is a fantastic carpenter, as well as a great person. From a customer's point of view, they always remark on how knowledgeable and patient he is. He truly takes pride in his work, and is very thorough from design to install on each job. We only recommend a handful of contractors to walk-in retail customers, and John/Colours Construction is definitely one of them.
