Jason was able to fit us in to his schedule installing a vanity in my updated kitchen. He did a great job. I would highly recommend him to anyone doing a bathroom remodel. read more

The was amazing working with Jason and his crew at building buddies. Before the Reno started, I had no idea how to transform the space but Jason had great ideas and was great collaborating with him on them. They worked on removing old drop ceiling and out dated wall paneling with brand new plasterboard throughout the house. They were efficient with great attention to detail! I would work with Jason and the crew over and over again and am looking forward to doing so on different projects in the future. The value and results are well worth it! Mike read more

Jason and his team are nothing short of miracle workers. I basically handed him a 100-year-old, leaky, poorly renovated bathroom the size of a closet and asked him to make it feel like I was staying at a 5-star hotel. I wasn't sure how the rebuild should be done, but I had a few ideas. Jason was an excellent sounding board. I laid out my top priorities and how I thought they could be handled. He was easy to collaborate with, and whenever we hit practical limits to my vision, he was honest, clear, and quick to propose workable alternatives. His team showed up when they said they would and cleaned up every day, which made a big difference while living in the house during the job. They were also accommodating and able to work around four other projects I was managing in the house at the same time. The project did run a little longer than expected, but it was a negligible trade-off for the result: a bathroom that genuinely feels like something out of a magazine. What started as a plan to gain a bit of space and fix aging plumbing ended in something much better. I actually love taking showers again. Jason and his team delivered, big time. Only thing left now is saving enough to get him to do the rest of my house. read more

Building Buddies remodels bathrooms, kitchens, and other rooms. Building Buddies remodeled one of my full bathrooms in 2024 (see my previous review for details) and another full bathroom and a half bathroom in 2025. Building Buddies has a Facebook page, so through Facebook Messenger, I contacted the owner Jason to ask for estimates. He soon came to my house to view the proposed work, and he promptly emailed me estimates. Jason himself performed the remodeling of my bathrooms. He communicated about when he would arrive each day, and I thought that his work looked like a high quality. My attached photos show some of his work--tiled floors and installed bathtub, cabinets, toilets, faucets, and light fixture. (A different business installed the countertops and sinks, and I must still finish the painting and a few mirrors.) I have not yet used the bathtub, but overall my husband and I feel happy with our new bathrooms, and we will definitely consider hiring Building Buddies in the future to remodel our other bathroom, kitchen, and basement. read more

Jason and his team did a wonderful job converting our dark and unfinished basement into a warm and inviting living space with a full bathroom! Jason is very responsive and professional - we appreciated how quickly he reached out to us for our initial consultation and the consistency in his communication throughout the project. We found his pricing to be excellent compared with other competitors and the quality of his work to be great. Our basement had a couple challenges including beams, ductwork, and low ceilings, but Jason was super helpful coming up with new ideas / options to work around these and make the room look lovely. We are very happy with the final product and highly recommend him. read more

I recently had my master bathroom refinished by Building Buddies, and I can honestly say the experience exceeded every expectation. The craftsmanship was nothing short of excellent-truly brilliant work with attention to detail that shows in every corner. What really stood out to me was the reliability and professionalism. Jason was always there exactly when he said he would be, which is rare these days, and never once dodged a call or text. Every question I had was answered quickly and thoroughly, which made the entire process smooth and stress-free. Another thing worth mentioning is the quality of the materials and suppliers he works with-absolutely top-notch. You can tell he takes pride not only in his own work but, in every aspect of the project from start to finish. It's not often you come across someone this dedicated, skilled and dependable. I truly can't say enough good things about jason and his crew. If you're considering a bathroom renovation, do yourself a favor and go with Building Buddies-you won't be disappointed. read more

Jason and his team did a great job on our kitchen remodel. He did a really great job offering advice when we didn't know what to do and was very flexible with the stuff we really wanted. His crew were all very friendly and turned our kitchen into a space we can hardly believe is ours. I would highly recommend Building buddies for your next project!! read more

We couldn't be happier with the work that Jason and his team did in completely remodeling both our first and second floor bathrooms! Both bathrooms were too small and next to bedrooms with some extra space. Building Buddies came in and literally tore down a wall in each bathroom, then rebuilt the walls to allow for creating two spa-like bathrooms. Jason's idea to raise the height of the ceiling in one of the rooms was a game changer. We feel like we're taking a bath at the Four Seasons! On every front, Jason exceeded expectations: Creative solutions to challenges (he fixed a leak coming from the roof so he could continue working), great communication (we weren't in town while he was working, but he didn't miss a beat), more than reasonable pricing, and an outstanding final product. We wouldn't want anyone else to do this kind of work on our home! Building Buddies built a lifelong customer! read more

Jason did a great job replacing an old fiberglass shower with a new steel tub and tile surround. Project was complicated because of there was tile surrounding the old fiberglass tub that I was trying to preserve. The other contractors I spoke with told me it was guaranteed I would lose a lot of the tile when removing the old fiberglass tub - except for Jason. Sure enough, the tile was preserved and the job went perfectly. Can't say enough good things. read more

Our basement was a hodgepodge of three different floorings, one drop and one conventional ceiling, and two walls in the laundry area covered in plastic by a waterproofing company. Jason and his team renovated the whole basement by installing drywall, replacing the drop ceiling with a conventional ceiling and new lighting, and covering the entire floor with functional but attractive laminate. They went above and beyond to make sure we were involved in the design and satisfied with the results. In addition, they replaced our kitchen floor, which had some water damage, with beautiful ceramic tile to complement the existing quartz counters. This is the second major project Jason has done for us. He previously remodeled a bathroom for us, replacing all the fixtures and flooring, as well as installing a pocket door. We are very happy with all the work that was done and would highly recommend Building Buddies. read more

Hired Building Buddies for a tub to shower conversion. I did my research and was pleased with all of the five star reviews. When I met with Jason I made sure to tell him how important it was that this job get done swiftly as I only have one bathroom. I was assured on multiple occasions that it was a 3 to 4 day job. The job started on a Wednesday and was not completed by Friday so I had to wait until the following Monday for them to continue. So this was five days without a working shower. Five days turned into 14 days and the job was still not close to complete due to excuses like weather and broken materials that had to be re-ordered (I never saw photos or evidence. I believe materials didn't get ordered at all creating more delays. 2/3 of the project was paid up front so not ordering all materials prior to the start is unacceptable). I tried to be as patient as I could. I understand that things happen in projects. But there was also no communication. I asked several times for a promised date of completion and received vague "a couple days" answers. There were days where I would wait until 10 AM to ask if anyone was coming that day just to be told different reasons for why no one was going to show up. And work was only being completed for 3 to 4 hours a day when there was someone here. I can forgive a lot with good communication and a little hustle on the back end, but there was absolutely no urgency to complete this project. No apologies. No promises to get it done by a specific day. So on day 14 after paying for 2/3 of the project, I put an end to the relationship. The quality of work that was done was acceptable. I believe his worker, Jack, was going everything he could but was under the direction of a boss who simply didn't care about my project or me. I'm incredibly disappointed and have a bathroom and a house that is in shambles as I struggle to now get this done on my own. The picture is what was accomplished after 14 days for a 3-4 day job. After my bad experience I searched further and found that he used to go under JRL Remodeling which has nothing but one star reviews on Houzz and Yelp many for the same reasons I state here. I guess after a certain number of bad reviews he just changes the name of the company and starts over. As for business saying I never paid, I am happy to share images of cashed checks. Why make an outlandish lie that can easily be proved false? All tools were returned. But if you're going to lie and say I didn't pay, why not lie about everything. Buyer beware, please. read more

Our kitchen remodel took twice as long to finish as it should have and we are now paying another contractor to fix all of the problems that have come up since. Every time we brought up any issues during and after the job, there were nothing but excuses. They did reimburse us for the floor after we had to redo it, and they did haul away a little bit of extra debris for us, but our kitchen is still not right. I could cry. read more

Installation of Herringbone tile for under our kitchen island wall where we have stools. While this was a small job, Jason was prompt in providing a quote which was very competitive. The outcome was exactly what we were hoping for. The tile we chose was not a very strong product to cut due to the pattern/material. It was softer than glass tile. Jason found a great solution and was willing to make it work and we are very pleased with the result. I would highly recommend Building Buddies for any tiling/remodeling project. A+ read more
