Green Light Construction

We had a wonderful experience start to finish working with Maxwell and his team on our basement remodel. We had a flood in our basement from our egress windows and in the dry-out process, we had to remove drywall and carpet. We worked with Maxwell to put it all back together and put in a custom entertainment center/shelving unit to house and hide kids' toys and books. Maxwell was so friendly and walked us through the process with frequent in-person and email updates about progress of the project and next steps. He helped us troubleshoot a couple issues - like how to level out the floor (as best able!) - with very reasonable solutions. He and his team took excellent care of the rest of our house when coming and going. We would highly recommended Green Light Construction both for the work product and their professionalism!

After living with our partially finished basement for over 3 years, we decided it was time to transform it into a proper living space for our family with two soon-to-be teens. The project included adding a bathroom, a multi-purpose room with egress windows (to qualify as a legal bedroom), closet space, and a laundry area. We met with three companies, but something about Maxwell and Green Light Construction just clicked with us - and wow, did that instinct pay off. From the design phase through completion, Maxwell struck the perfect balance of being professional and personable. He worked collaboratively with us on the floor plan, offering several options and explaining how structural and plumbing realities might affect the layout. The budget discussions were refreshingly transparent - Maxwell was clear about what was included in the core costs and which items (like bathroom fixtures and carpet) we'd select and purchase separately. Like others have mentioned, Maxwell's communication throughout was spot-on. His team and subcontractors were consistently punctual and skilled, and they kept the workspace remarkably clean. They even set up our washer/dryer in temporary spots throughout the phases so we could keep doing laundry - a huge help for our family of four. The project stayed on schedule, passed every inspection without a hitch, and even when we requested changes, Maxwell was accommodating and offered creative solutions when needed. What really stood out was how little the renovation disrupted our daily life, partly thanks to the basement location with garage access, but mostly due to Maxwell's considerate approach to managing the project. After completion, he gave us time to live in the space before coming back for touch-ups - that kind of attention to detail makes all the difference. We've ended up with exactly what we wanted: a warm, inviting space that works perfectly for our family now and will adapt well for future needs. Looking back, we keep saying how fortunate we were to have found Maxwell and Green Light Construction for this project.

Maxwell and his team are a joy to work with. They came up with the perfect design for our basement based on our initial sketches, making smart tradeoffs and honoring the spirit of our ideas while coming up with much better uses of the space. The construction project stayed right on schedule, and Maxwell’s communication was consistent and accurate all the way through. Our formerly depressing unfinished basement is now a gorgeous and functional space that we enjoy every single day. We had such a great experience that we asked his team to expand the project to include a new beautiful new deck. We were braced for a stressful project, but Green Light surprised us with a pleasant experience start to finish.

I am happy to sing the praises of Greenlight Construction. We recently worked with Maxwell and his team to renovate our basement. This was the first time my husband and I undertook a home project of this size and while excited, we were also somewhat intimidated by the process of finding the right person for the job, knowing how to think through the design options, staying within a reasonable budget and feeling certain that the work that was being done was top quality. From the beginning, Maxwell was responsive and communicative. He made himself available to look at the space and provide us with a ballpark estimate within a shorter timeframe than the other companies we had reached out to. He was then patient with us as we waited for the other estimates to be returned to us so that we could make an informed decision as to who we wanted to work with. Maxwell kept to the timelines he had outlined in his bid. He and his crew were here everyday and made steady progress on the project. He made great efforts to keep the workspace tidy, to prevent excess dust from coming to the upper floors, and to keep the laundry facilities in the basement functional throughout the project. He was very receptive to any ideas/feedback/questions we had and worked hard to make sure the work he and his team were doing fit our vision. Towards the end of the project we had an issue with a flooring company trying to charge us more than they had estimated. Maxwell was able to redirect us to another option that met our needs and because of his connections, was able to get an installer scheduled quickly so it wasn’t necessary to add on too much time to the project. Maxwell is a great guy who knows his stuff, partners with high quality sub-contractors and loves what he does. I would definitely recommend him for any home projects you’re considering.

We recently completed a full-scale basement remodel with Maxwell and the crew from Greenlight & we couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome! Our basement has been transformed from an unfinished and unwelcoming “dungeon” into an absolutely beautiful space - one of the nicest & most welcoming places in our home. We now have an amazing guest bed/bath, top notch family room & gorgeous wet-bar area along with much more. Throughout the entire process Maxwell and his team were communicative, reliable, and performed top-notch work. He was helpful and supportive as we navigated design challenges, decisions, and a few inevitable (100+ year old house) surprises along the way. His team of sub-contractors were similarly professional and amazingly skilled – exceptional craftsmen and women & great to work with! We were lucky to have been given the referral of Greenlight by some friends and I could go on and on, but I think the pictures speak for themselves! Do yourself a favor and give Maxwell a call if you are looking to get quality work done on your home – he really is all you could want in a contractor.
