Reviews consistently mention strong coordination, clear communication, and staying on budget. Homeowners note solid workmanship on chimney rebuilds, tuckpointing, and concrete/porch projects that pass inspection smoothly. Many highlight respectful site cleanup and practical problem solving when issues arise.

They did a ground up restoration of our chimney, which is in a bad shape. The rebuild looks strong and blends in with the rest of the home. They also stayed within the budget we agreed on. I'd recommend them for similar projects.

We recently completed a kitchen renovation and had the pleasure of working with Jakub. From start to finish, he did an outstanding job coordinating every aspect of the project, including cabinet installation, lighting, and countertops. His attention to detail and ability to keep all the moving parts on track made the process smooth and stress-free.
He guided us through each step, making sure we understood what to expect and helping us make informed decisions along the way. There were no surprises - just good communication and high-quality work.
Buildmax’s crew was highly skilled, professional, and punctual - very impressive work on every aspect of the kitchen. They were able to meet our custom requirements with creative solutions.
We’re extremely happy with the outcome and would highly recommend Jakub to anyone looking for a reliable, professional, and skilled contractor for their renovation project.

I have nothing but good experiences working with this company. In fact I can’t remember working with a company the was as willing to listen and help as much as this company is. I contacted Jakub about fixing my retaining wall and concrete stairs leading down to my basement. It was a large task and honestly I’m not really in his servicing area but because he saw I was in dire need he took me on anyway. Everything he did was professional! He gave me an estimate, drew up a contract and had his men coming out on time every day until the project was done. He always contacted me when the project was going into the next phase and what to expect, and I never had a problem contacting him with any questions. I can’t say enough how happy I am with their work. Before I hired them I tried really hard to find a bad review but I honestly could not and I see why. They are professional, on time and get the job done without cutting corners. I hope to work with Jakub and his crew in the future!

We engaged Buildmax Design and Construction, Inc. for our 3-unit garage roof and porch replacement. Jakub's expertise showed through during the complex stages of the buildout and the inevitability of unforeseen issues for this larger project. He created architectural solutions on the spot thus gaining our architect's complete confidence in resolving any problems. The inspection passed with flying colors and we were super happy to have someone like Jakub help us navigate the project from beginning to end. Buildmax has proven to be reliable in their quality of work and communication, and unlike other contractors, Buildmax's costs are also very reasonable.

Buildmax Design proved to be a reliable choice for tuckpointing services, addressing my home's deteriorating mortar joints with professionalism and efficiency. Their straightforward approach during the consultation, transparent pricing, and meticulous craftsmanship set them apart. The project was completed on time, leaving the site clean and demonstrating their commitment to practical and effective solutions.
