My Project was Completed on Time and On Budget

I contracted with Connor Building and Design (CBD) to remodel 3 bathrooms in my home in the upper east side of Helena. As the general contractor, CBD brought in a plumber, electrician, cabinet supplier, tile installer, and project foreman to meet with me, determine materials and furnishings, and establish a project schedule.

Although delayed for a couple of days by bitterly cold weather, the project kicked off on schedule and work progressed as planned from start to finish. The crews were at the job site on time everyday, and worked diligently to keep the project on schedule. They were very responsive to my questions and suggestions, and always took time to explain what I should expect as one phase neared completion and the next phase began.

When unexpected challenges arose, or my travel schedule required changes in the project plan the CBD staff were most accommodating. They did a good job of supervising the trade contractors and always resolved problems within 24 hours of notification.

My remodel project was completed on time and on budget by CBD, to a level of quality that met, or in many cases exceeded my expectations. As a result of the way in which they completed that project, I decided to contract with CBD to replace my roof which was done a few months later.

Although there are many building contractors in the greater Helena area who are available and looking for work, I strongly recommend Connor Building and Design. They develop a good project plan, stay on the plan, respond quickly to changes, and at the end of day they deliver what they agreed on at the beginning.

High Quality Work!

I want to thank you very much for the remodeling work you did at my home on Highland. The minor expansion of the exterior kitchen wall gave us much more room than I thought possible by just moving the wall out 2 ½ feet. This project also gave me some idea of the quality of work and great communication that I have come to appreciate from your company. This work was accomplished in a timely manner to the exact specifications discussed. An extra effort was made to ensure that the one issue that was undecided on at the time the work started (a heater duct being placed in the correct location) was coordinated to obtain exactly what was needed.

The deck expansion was done very quickly following these same standards. Kevin, your help and guidance in determining the best most effective method was well founded. As the work progressed I was again very happy with the quality of construction and it was very easy for me to see that you do get what you pay for. The entire crew was very knowledgeable about the work they were doing, they were always safety conscience, very respectful, were open to discussion and able to answer questions that I posed. The one day the crew did not work was a day it snowed. The work site was cleaned at the end of each day and at the end of the project.

I have had years of experience working with a variety of contractors ( don’t forget my son is a project superintendent working on multi-million dollar homes in the Seattle area) and I find that working with your company is the best experience I have had working with a contractor. The quality of workmanship and appropriate level of communication is very commendable. I especially enjoyed the attitude that David has that his work and the work of his crew should have the same standard that a homeowner would have for their own property.

Thanks again for the work that you did. I consider myself lucky to have found a company of your caliber to work on the projects that I have. I hope you will be available in the future should I have projects that you can help me with.

Regards,

The Connor Team Guided Us Through Every Phase

We expected the design and building of a custom home to be an overwhelming task. However, the Connor team guided us through every phase of the project with professionalism and ease. We definitely chose the right builders. From beginning to end we couldn’t have been more pleased with you, your crew and your subcontractors.

We highly recommend Connor Building and Design.

Our Experience With Connor Building & Design Was Most Enjoyable

Superior craftsmanship, attention to detail, quality products and a friendly attitude, made our experience with Connor Building and Design most enjoyable. We decided to add a garage with a breezeway to our house and called Connor for a quote and estimate of when they could do the job. We were given a fair quote, a drawing of what he had explained to him and a time frame in which the job could be started. As promised, the work crew showed up the first week of August and had everything done and completed the second week of September. The quality of my garage is impressive. The crew was extremely friendly and when the job was done they cleaned up all their mess. I had no callbacks to Connor Building as the job was well done. I would recommend them to anyone.

Quality, Knowledge, and the fact the project came in on time and under budget

Connor Building and Design built our family’s personal residence. My wife and I were very happy with the finished product and enjoyed our experience with them. Not only did we find their company to be very professional, we also came away very impressed with the quality, knowledge, and the fact that the project came in on time and on budget. I would recommend them to anyone for their construction needs and would build with them again if the opportunity ever presented itself. Please call me with any questions.

Jake and Kevin Explained the process to us upfront

We love the location of our little 1950’s house. However, we also like some of the amenities that newer homes have. We decided to blend the two by adding some modern updates to our cozy home. Our first choice was to add some outdoor living space. We wanted a front porch that was covered and big enough to spend time on. Being inside the city limits, we had problems even getting some contractors to come by the house to give us a bid. Instead of city regulations chasing them off, Jake and Kevin instead explained the process to us. Up front they laid out what the city would allow us to do and what our options were if we wanted to ask for a variance. Throughout the design phase, Jake went beyond what one would consider as patient. My husband and I would come to the table with at least 10 different options for each choice. Jake was able to take that information and help us narrow those options into a final choice. One of our challenges was how to blend a new addition with the older structure. With his guidance, we were able to build a porch that blends so nicely with the house you would never know it was an addition.

The Connor Building employees were a pleasure to have around. They were always willing to explain what they were doing and made sure to confirm particulars before moving forward with the project. Their great attitude and attention to detail made us feel confident that the end result would be a success.

Now as we round out the summer sipping drinks on our new front porch, we raise our glasses to the team at Connor Building. When we decide what our next update will be, we will without hesitation call Connor Building for the job. Our Project was exactly what we asked for, and more.

The Process was seamless from the start

We just moved into our brand new house and couldn’t be happier with it and our experience with Connor Building and Design. The process was seamless from the start. Jake provided a few specially-designed floor plans and helped us to tweak the right one to create the perfect layout for our family. Pricing was provided up-front and we faced no money surprises. The carpenters worked in inclement weather to keep the project on schedule and we were actually able to move in almost a month ahead of time. The entire experience was stress-free, fun and exciting. We wholeheartedly recommend Connor Building and Design to our friends and family and will definitely work with the Connors on our next home project.
