Eric Zahn Builders LLC.

Eric is a consummate professional builder. The quality of his workmanship is high, and he has a fine aesthetic sense. He is a great problem solver, a quality I value highly. He hires only the best staff and subcontractors. You can tell that they are delighted to work for him and uphold high work standards. He only has to raise an eyebrow, and they do what he wants. Being a good manager matters! Moreover, Eric is meticulously organized—everything is done in logical order, and the site is always clean after his crew finishes for the day. If you’re interested, he will educate you, explaining exactly what’s being done and how major systems work. He is an excellent communicator, and there are no surprises. He listens and can somehow translate a client’s ideas into reality, offering options and presenting samples of materials. Somehow he knows how not to overwhelm with too many choices and he has a good sense of what would be fitting. My relatively small project (foundation work) turned into a major renovation on a newly purchased second home, because undiscovered structural problems kept emerging. The house was essentially gutted, partially demolished, and rooms were replaced or added, all in keeping with the original farmhouse aesthetic. When it became apparent how extensive the work would be, I hired an architect in the Boston area, who only had time to do the design, but not to oversee. If it weren’t for Eric, that arrangement would not have worked. He took the plans, made it all happen, and worked well, along the way, with the town’s building inspector. He knew when to consult me, and I had confidence that he would do a stellar job. I loved the house so much that, when I was able, I sold my primary residence near Boston and made West Stockbridge my home. I have not regretted that decision.

I cannot say enough good things about Eric. He actually completed two projects for us -- just before he was due to start work on the renovation of a guest house on our property, our main house suffered a major flood and he stepped in to restore that as well. He was thoroughly professional, highly responsive, and an absolute pleasure to work with. The quality of his work was excellent. He always did exactly what he said he would do and paid attention to every detail. His subs were great as well. You would be lucky to have him as your contractor.

Eric Zahn and his crew recently completed our new home in Great Barrington. Their performance was exemplary in every manner. Eric is a versatile craftsman, and relished any detail that was out of the ordinary. The project, (which was complicated by the needed early occupancy of a studio/out building) was completed on schedule. Eric has also been very attentive to any small details that have arisen post construction. I offer the strongest recommendation for Eric Zahn Builders.

Eric Zahn Builders constructed an attached two-car garage and screened-in porch at our home in Pittsfield. Eric was knowledgeable about building codes and the permitting process in Pittsfield and assisted us in fulfilling the often frustrating requirements. He helped us to design the structure and accommodated our requests for alterations during the building process pleasantly and willingly. He also made suggestions as the work was being done that were always appropriate and helpful. His craftsmanship and attention to detail were superior, and his crew was pleasant, respectful, hard working, and highly capable. The job site was always clean and tidy before they left at the end of the day. The timetable he proposed for the build was accurate and reasonable, and costs were within budget and fully justified throughout the project. We have been more than pleased with the end result and hired him again recently to re-model a bathroom for us. In the interests of full disclosure we will admit to Eric being our son-in-law. But all that was said above is an honest assessment of the work he did for us, and continues to do for us.

I have been working hand in hand with Eric for years now. His professionalism shows in all he does. The quality of work is as good as I have seen. He runs an efficient jobsite, while still focusing on the details.

My experience with the local builders and contractors had been that they either never called back when asked about doing a job, or if they did show interest in the job, as soon as they saw the house they asked some extraordinary amount for their work. We were recommended to Eric Zahn and that is when things changed. Our first job was to have them install custom designed closets throughout the house. When we asked for a price we were given an hourly rate that was very fair. I took a chance and gave them the job and they were great. They worked quickly and neatly finishing the job much quicker than I expected. They had all the right tools and the quality of their work was very high. I got the bill and it was exactly as agreed with no hassles. I have since given them a number of other projects which they completed flawlessly and there was no "price creap" as I found with other contractors. I would not hesitate to recommend them for any project as long as I can still get them to work for me when I need them.

Eric's work as a builder is of the highest possible quality, with great attention to detail. He has taken on every type of project from the very smallest repairs to some of the biggest builds I've ever seen. There are three key qualities that set him apart from other builders I know: 1. He is extremely knowledgeable about materials and techniques. He has worked with everything and he has done it in every way. He knows which combination of the two will solve any construction challenge. 2. He is the hardest working individual I've ever known, with a seemingly endless supply of energy. He delivers impressive results in the tightest of time frames. 3. Most importantly, Eric is driven solely by his love for his craft. That means he doesn't care about the solution that makes him the most money - he cares about finding the RIGHT solution for any given situation. He is as good an adviser as he is a builder, and he guides his customers toward what works best for them. He is a true partner to his clients and that's why he does so much repeat business. There is nobody better for any project great or small.

Eric Zahn Builders LLC flipped a house on Cole Ave in Pittsfield and the result is extraordinary. My husband and I purchased the home from them, and we couldn't be happier with the level of detail, care and workmanship. We were recommended to the property by a friend of ours who had used Eric Zahn Builders LLC for the building of his garage and he was so happy with the work that he told us we should absolutely look into this opportunity. Eric Zahn and his team are just amazing - they're conscientious, deliberate, careful and so easy to work with. They took our concerns and considerations to heart, worked with us on understanding what had been done, and produced an absolutely beautiful home for us to live in. I seriously can't say enough at just how pleased we are at the result and we strongly recommend him and his team for any job - they're phenomenal.

I have used Eric Zahn Builders LLC twice this past year for two different projects. Eric is professional, dependable, and great to work with! I could not be more pleased with his work. Not only would I highly recommend him, I would use him again for any project...big or small!

Eric Zahn and his guys were recommended to me by a friend. I needed some deck repairs done. Eric was very prompt in returning my phone call,showed up and emailed a quote ( which was very competitive). He did everything he said he would do. His guys were very polite,professional and got the job done in the time frame he said. I will continue to use Eric Zahn for my future building/repair needs.

Eric recently built a project I designed for a cabin renovation. He did a fine job of the work, as well as communicating with myself and others in a timely & profession manner. The owners were very happy. Highly recommended.
