Had a wonderful experience working with Matt and team at Anthony James builders. My wife and I could not be happier with our new addition. Unlike other builders, they really took the time to listen to what we were looking for and not try to convince us to get things we didn’t want or need in our addition. The results were exactly what we were looking for. Tommy really knows his stuff. And the job finished exactly when they said it was gonna end. I would give them six stars if I could.
After undergoing a seven month renovation project with Anthony James Master Builders we are thrilled with the results. Many years ago we had been through a miserable major renovation project with a different contractor. This was the complete opposite experience. Pat, Tommy and Matt were a pleasure to work with. When problems arose (they always do) they had problem solved it in a thoughtful and aesthetically pleasing way. They were honest and professional. All their sub-contractors were excellent craftsmen and extremely polite. They cleaned up at the end of every day. They used top of the materials. No short cuts were taken. As a home owner for 35 years I highly recommend Anthony James for all projects large or small.Their professionalism and craftsmanship are unmatched. Plus they are really nice guys. They might be a bit expensive but you get what you paid for!
After completing a full-gut kitchen renovation for us several years ago, we knew to look no further than AJMB when planning a large-scale home addition. Their craftsmanship is exceptional and helped us transform our dated ranch-style house into a home built for today’s modern lifestyle. The AJMB team assisted us with every step of the process, leaving no detail neglected. Their sub-contractors and vendors were all highly skilled and easy to work with. We highly recommend them for any large home renovation project or new build.
Our house addition and major home renovation with Anthony James Construction came out beautiful. The design and workmanship is top notch as all of the details are handled by specialists from the framing to the floors, the tile /stone work, trim work to every aspect. We trusted the design concepts and details for the changes to our home and are beyond thrilled with the new layout. We added a new master suite and renovated the majority of our house. As we lived through the construction, Anthony & his team were respectful of this as well as to complete in time for the holidays. As a corporate executive I expected nothing but the best from Anthony’s team from communication, to remain on task and budget which they delivered. We still cannot believe that this is our home and would highly recommend Anthony James Construction as you will be very happy with the outcome.
Anthony James Construction is a First Class renovation/construction firm that also offers design services. They have completely reconstructed three homes for my family in the past 15 years (see below). The quality and attention to detail is amazing! There is no "magic bullet", however. Anthony Cerami works tirelessly to improve his successful formula every waking day. He has long-standing relationships with each trade, so they not only show up for his jobs...they do their best work for his jobs. He knows most of the local townships and suppliers, so speed is never compromised. Further, Anthony and his team know how to make your house a home. Although the services of an architect are paramount to home design/construction/renovation, the finishing touches...the decisions that make ones home comfortable vs geometric, perfect vs efficient, the ones that make you love your home instead of curse the pantry door that swings the wrong way every time you reach for cereal in the morning...happen on site, with the contractor at the 11th hour. That is why AJC has always offered design services within his firm.But I digress. You want Anthony James Construction on your job because they know their business, they work to timelines, they will own your project years into the future (the welcome phone call during a hurricane) and the project cost process is fair, timely and transparent. Top that off with the driving force of the company is the desire to make your house your home. What more can you ask for?
