We hired Crabtree Homebuilding to renovate two bathrooms. One was a partial update, the other was a complete renovation, demolishing back to the studs. I was very happy with the service. There was a problem (roof leak) discovered during demolition that was rapidly corrected. The subcontractor that handled it went well beyond the scope of work to be sure there were no other leaks. I have done enough DIY projects to be very picky, but also to recognize the professional work done by all the subcontractors. I was particularly happy with the impeccable work done in tiling both surrounds, especially the one that included handmade accent tiles. I was able to relax about both projects, knowing that even the unseen, behind-the-walls work was done well. We were in the house through both projects, and the rest of the house was kept as clean as possible, and the work areas cleaned up each day. The impact on our family was kept as low as possible. I continue to use Crabtree for projects we have and would strongly recommend them to anyone looking to build or renovate.

We worked with Gail Crabtree Home Building to renovate our kitchen. We had heard that renovations are difficult and there are always problems. As it turned out, we love our new kitchen and we even enjoyed the renovation process. We worked with Ellen Cassilly, a wonderful architect in our area to develop a design plan, and hired Gail Crabtree Home Building to carry out the plan. About 30 people with different skills and expertise were involved in the project from beginning to end and each one was delightful and efficient! The care they took to keep the construction area sealed from the rest of the house allowed us to remain in our home, meet the team, and see the progress. Gail Crabtree and her team did a fabulous job, kept the project moving forward at a fast pace, took the design and completed it on time and on budget. Gail came to the house daily to see the progress and ensure that the work was the high quality that she expects. We couldn't have asked for a better process or outcome. We highly recommend G. Crabtree Home Building for home renovation or new construction!

Working with Gail and all her crews was a joy. Every day was a new entertainment, watching them work together, seemingly always knowing each other's next move. Gail was always accessible and answered all of our many questions honestly. The work was never delayed. Crews arrived when promised and worked diligently. Having had work done previously by another contractor, I can't even explain how valuable it was to us to work with people with so much integrity.

Our newly remodeled kitchen, dining room, and screen porch are works of art. Consummate professionals, the G Crabtree team clearly set expectations on the timeline and ensured the project moved along as quickly as possible. They communicated in an open and transparent manner throughout the process making certain we were comfortable with the decisions and next steps. The team was patient as we made adjustments and tweaks to the vision along the way. The quality was impeccable, no detail was overlooked in the design, and there was seamless execution of the project. We couldn't be happier with the outcome--the space is not just functional but beautiful.

Gail Crabtree did an outstanding job on the renovation of my kitchen, master bath, guest bath, and powder room. I am so pleased with the quality of the workmanship, which has received many compliments from family and friends, and pleased that Gail stopped by daily to check on the progress of the projects. Gail and Rama were the best at communicating so that I always knew which subcontractors would be working and what was happening each day - they are well-respected and experienced professionals who delivered a worry-free renovation.

Crabtree Homebuilding is exceedingly easy to work with: they show up when they say, they do what they say, it costs what they project, and they deliver on time. We believe our addition is beautiful, with an eye for design and detail that matches the rest of our house. The materials used and craftsmanship were very high quality.
