In my opinion, there are three critical traits of a successful general contractor: honesty, attention to detail and craftsmanship. John Shay exhibited all three during our renovation project. While no remodeling project goes exactly according to plan, John kept us informed as to what changes were needed once we opened the house up. He communicated clearly and was honest and straightforward throughout the process. John also has a keen eye for detail and strove to match the details of our 80-year-old home, oftentimes pointing out things we didn't notice. His craftsmanship was also excellent on the parts he personally worked on, including window trim, crown molding and other fine details. John takes enormous pride in his work and doesn't consider the job done until he is satisfied. Whether your project is major or minor, new construction or a renovation, you can trust John Shay to get it done right.

It all begins with an idea. Many people can create something that looks beautiful, but I’ve said it before and i’ll say it again, it’s what you don’t see that matters. My houses are built to last the test of time because things are done right, from the ground up.

Great builds start with great framing.
A lot of contractors find the basics boring, but, is where we take pride. It is what differentiates us from the rest. Detailed craftsmanship, the kind one rarely sees today.
