I was really happy with the work that John did for us. We hired him to re-do our front and back porches on our older home in Greektown. The job required taking down the entire back porch, and most of the front, and was completed earlier this summer in the span of 1.5 weeks.
John took the time to discuss what our needs were before any work had progressed, and touched base regularly throughout to update and make any designs tweaks as they came up. We ran into a few unexpected issues (e.g., rotted wood in our rear foundation) that were only visible once work began and John walked us through our options for addressing them before he proceeded.
While some of these unforeseen issues added to the cost the final price was still within a comfortable range of the estimate, and the additional costs for the unexpected work were always relayed to me prior to the work being done. I certainly feel that our porch was worth what we paid for it.
I can't speak to other types of home renovation, since this was the first job they did for us, but they certainly struck me as competent and knowledgeable. I would certainly consider hiring them again (and already am thinking about it!) for some other projects here.
Overall we are thrilled with the result. The craftsmanship is wonderful and we are constantly getting compliments on the work. It really has enhanced the feel of our house and I'm happy we went with BBG.
