At our initial meeting, my wife and I laid out in great detail several projects we needed done. They patiently listened and quickly visualized what we wanted. Rob also gave some creative suggestions and offered to facilitate delivery of materials as our primary home is 2+ hours away. We couldn't be happier with the outcome. The quality of work and attention to detail is top-notch. Moreover, they're just great people. We plan to hire them again for future projects. Highly recommend BigSpan!

My partner Autumn and I had a wonderful experience with Rob & Laura. We can't recommend them enough…read morefor any job, large or small. For context, our project was a full gut renovation of an old home that sat abandoned for 10+ years. Think leaking ceilings, no functional systems, and a crumbling foundation. Rob & Laura were the driving force for the final 4 months of our home's transformation from "very broken" to beautiful and livable. They were supportive of our project in the months leading up, and have continued to stay in touch since they wrapped up. Their to do list included structural changes, door and window swaps, drywall, trim, and full kitchen and bath installs. That's not to mention a massive list of surprise to do's that crop up with any old home renovation. From their first visit, Rob's cool confidence in their ability to bring our home to life never waned. This was a labor of love on our part. Rob & Laura understood and embraced that. They were happy to hear our vision, and translate it into an executable plan. They rocked every detail from necessities like drywall to custom touches like recreating the original curved ceilings and installing handmade tile from floor to ceiling in the primary bathroom. Communication was easy throughout. I was the primary coordinator of other contractors (electric, plumbing etc). We had zero issues with any overlap. Rob & Laura were always flexible, and easy to work with. I also have immense gratitude for their openness to my participation in the process. This is by no means required, but my partner and I strove to jump in wherever we could. This let us reduce the cost on our end, and learn a few things along the way including how to tape drywall and install tile. If you can get on Rob & Laura's calendar, don't hesitate!

Our house dates from 1949, as did the septic tank, a galvanized tin container about 6' in diameter,…read moreno leach field. As the tank had caved in recently, we no longer had a functioning system (which indeed backed into the house at Christmas time.) After we trenched out the old system and at least got liquids flowing, we sought out bids to replace. Not only did the whole system have to get rebuilt to code, but we also had to deal with shale rock inches below the lawn and a wooded area leading down the hillside for the site of the leach field. Given the scope of the project, the first contractor we spoke to was never heard from again. J&R Contracting, headed up the the father and son team of Rick and Rick, arrived 2 days after we called, sized up the project, gave us a realistic estimate given the challenges of the site (e.g. assume an extra day to jack hammer through the shale to create a pit.) We said, "Sure!" Rick took a deposit to pay for the construction of a low profile holding tank, said they'd be back to do the job when the tank was ready. Sure enough, 3 weeks later, the team showed up with two backhoes, a dozer, trucks to transport in sand and topsoil, and chainsaws. We mapped out an area for the tank and leach field, and then they got to work. Over three days a level area was created for the leach field after removing some scrub trees. Specimen trees were tagged and left alone. The big project was jack hammering out the pit, as deep as I am tall. The tank was lowered in, piping connected and soil smoothed over. As J&R already had all the equipment on site, we asked for two days of extra work to bring in ten loads of sand and topsoil to regrade the lawn, reshaping to direct rainfall and winter melt away from the house foundations. The final step in late April will be to distribute shade tolerant grass seed across the new lawn. The final bill matched the original estimate. The added time and materials for sculpting the lawn was, of course, extra. The results far exceeded our expectations.
