Our best advertisements come from our many satisfied customers.  Here is a small example of the many testimonials that we receive:

"We heartily recommend John Tabor for his conscientious work, attention to detail, and careful, thoughtful management of projects.  Our construction project included demolition of an older addition to our 97-year-old home, and rebuilding a new, much larger addition from the ground up, including a new kitchen, mudroom, dining area, laundry room, two bathrooms, and two bedrooms, as well as expansion of an existing bedroom.  Extensive plumbing, electrical, heating and air-conditioning systems were created, and gas was piped in for the first time.  All the work fulfilled expectations, and was completed within a reasonable period of time.

John was pleasant to work with, well-organized, and always conscious of our needs, expectations, and budget restrictions.  Every stage of the project was scheduled to the day, and every item required was listed and selected in advance.  His employees and sub-contractors were competent, polite, and on the job when required.  Our requests for changes and additions in the course of the project were dealt with quickly and without fuss.

As homeowners new to the throes of major renovation, we approached this project with trepidation; it wasn't an easy thing to get through, but John made it as easy as possible.  His attitude towards his work seems to be that it is a great and exciting adventure, rather than a trial to be suffered through, and it's a contagious attitude."

"Tabor Design Build, Inc. has been the best thing ever to happen to our house, and has been wonderful for our peace of mind."

"We chose Tabor Design Build because they did a great job on my first renovation project.  We selected them then because John is knowledgeable, straight forward, willing to work with you, fair, and a good listener.

I'm already thinking about Phase III!  Thanks so much for making our house a home! You've brought our dreams to life!"

"Overall, I was impressed with the attention to detail, the quality of the work and the commitment to customer service (all too often lacking in the trades).

The lead carpenter on this job was a real pleasure to work with.  Besides being an excellent, highly skilled and motivated worker, he was also extraordinarily respectful of my privacy and with the juggling I would be doing in the morning when he arrived (working out, eating, showering, dog care, and the like).

As well, the office staff was prompt, courteous and very willing to go the extra mile with good communication and follow-up.  Lastly, John qualifies as one of those rare individuals, regardless of profession or trade, who is both technically knowledgeable and customer-savvy.  It was a great experience working with a company committed to 'getting it right' each and every time."

"We realize that our project consisted of several extraordinary requests.  We are truly appreciative of you taking the time to help us realize our goals.  Kathy thanks you for your attention to detail and scheduling; John thanks your indulgence in correcting a number of mechanical, electrical and plumbing inadequacies.  Both Scott and Steve are to be commended for contributing to a smooth remodel transition from the 'old' to the 'new' kitchen.

Even though a couple of unforeseen setbacks (sickness, weather) occurred, we were inconvenienced a minimal amount of time.   Of course, advance preparation and planning helped all of us.  We are delighted to have seen all this work finished in just under one month's time!  There are some work associates we have 'compared notes' with who have told us similar work took a year's time.  John Tabor's expert handling from plans through orders, on-site work, and the scheduling of required inspections at our request, is all highly valued."

"When my wife and I purchased a new home last February, we decided to immediately renovate the kitchen, construct an office and replace the lighting in the basement, build a walk-in closet in the attic and make other significant home improvements.  We knew exactly who to call --- Tabor Design Build, Inc. We never even considered anyone else.   Here's why:  Seven years ago we contracted with John Tabor to have work done at our previous home.  On that occasion, we had Tabor remodel the kitchen, finish the basement and replace the front door.  We were particularly impressed by the quality of the workmanship and John's insistence on using only the best building materials.  In addition, John made helpful recommendations based on his years of experience in the business.  And he informed us up front about the possibility of any potential additional costs that might arise once the work had begun.  We also appreciated the fact that the work was completed on schedule.  The end result was another satisfied Tabor customer --- and the same is true of our most recent experience with the company.�

"We met and interviewed several companies before settling on Tabor.  His professional manner, good ideas, and experience led us to select him.  The quality of work and supplies used was superb.  The entire building crew, from the foreman to plumbers, painters, electricians, and floor men was excellent. The crew appeared each morning promptly, and worked steadily through the day.  They cleaned up afterwards.  Even though the house was being entirely changed, the plan of work spared us undue inconvenience through proper planning on their part.  In addition, the costs were kept to original estimates.  We are extremely happy with the final results and would recommend Tabor Design Build, Inc. (and already have) to anyone considering a remodeling job, however complex."

"Our project was completed on time, on budget and was executed in such a way as to minimize disruption in our home.  I have to think that this is largely due to the personal attention that you yourself gave to the job.  It was clear to us that your entire firm was committed to ensuring that we had a successful outcome."

---

"I have been grateful for the pleasant attitude of your employees, and they have consistently left the work site in immaculate condition - always a pleasant surprise when I come home to see a completed job."

---

"I was extremely pleased with not only the end result, but also the process, the care his team took with my personal belongings, the cost-saving and ergonomic recommendations his team made, and their commitment throughout the process to minimize the impact on my personal life.

"Our experience with Tabor was exceptional.  It amazes everyone I know who has had remodeling done that not only was the job done two days early it was only a couple of hundred dollars over budget.  Everyone who sees our addition admires it enormously.   The regular Tabor crew (Joe, Steve and Scott) were a pleasure to have around and were always polite, helpful, informative, available, and on time each and every day.  There were very few glitches and all were resolved quickly and to our satisfaction.  John was always available and was very pleasant to work with.  The crew kept the yard very clean for a construction site, as we requested (due to pets), and wreaked very little havoc on the landscaping.  We would definitely use Tabor for any future remodeling work on our house and have already recommended them to neighbors.

"This was my first experience in remodeling and working with a contractor. John Tabor was always patient and straightforward with me, answering all my questions.  John listened to my requirements and always provided insightful suggestions.  John, Scott and all of the crews were always prompt, courteous, and respectful of my home.  It was a pleasure working with each of them and I am thrilled with the results of their hard work and meticulous planning.
