We had our attic space finished by Blue Ribbon last year. While other construction companies I vetted communicated with me through salespeople, Blue Ribbon's owner John Sperath was my initial contact. John quickly revealed an impressive knowledge of the construction process and laid out a detailed vision of the attic's transformation. The most impressive part was how Blue Ribbon gave us a day-to-day schedule of how the construction would proceed with and they KEPT TO THAT SCHEDULE as well as to the budget. We are extremely pleased with how the attic turned out. All of the subcontractors were very professional and respectful of our space and family. Our project manager Jeremiah was always helpful and responsive to any questions we had, even months after the project completed. Blue Ribbon would definitely be my go-to for any future project.

I selected Blue Ribbon after speaking with several contractors. The project included a primary suite addition, redesign of the front porch/entry/foyer, removal of existing breezeway and raised patio - replaced with a three-season Eze-Breeze screened porch and Trex deck, HVAC and ductwork replacement, plumbing and electrical updates to accommodate the suite addition. This was a large project, encompassing the work of many subcontractors selected by Blue Ribbon. I was impressed with their design, hands on approach, ease of their online project tracking, selection and quality of subcontractors and the attention to the smallest detail. The owner, John Sperath, was involved from the very beginning, managing the design and approval processes, and continuously reviewed the project through completion, touching base with me to ensure satisfaction. The staff is pleasant, customer-focused and efficient. The project manager, Ian Herd, was attentive to all phases of the work, continually checking in to listen for any concerns or changes. His follow through to ensure subcontractors were completing their work timely was exceptional. This experience with Blue Ribbon has been extraordinary, from the design stage through completion. I highly recommend this firm.

We had a great experience with Blue Ribbon, which we contracted to design and build a screened porch, using the foundation of our existing deck, and replace the decking, railing and stairs of the unscreened portion with Trex composite material. We were particularly impressed with the quality of work from their dedicated subcontractors -- the framing and finish carpentry were meticulous, as was the painting. We had a very good project manager and are thrilled with the results. We've had several people see the porch and remark that it looks like it has always been part of our house. We'd work with Blue Ribbon again without hesitation.

We hired Blue Ribbon after bidding with a few companies. Their gantt charting and procedures really impressed us. Their design process helped us figure out our new kitchen layout. They use fantastic and responsible subs. They treat your home and family like a priority and listen to your needs. They expect quality work from their subs and warranty their work. Very good at figuring out solutions to issues that inevitably come up.

Highly professional, Very down to earth and honest, and caring for you as a client is a priority. Everything was done within manageable time, even with bumps in the road (which happens on any project) they communicated and adjusted when needed. Worth the extra money to hire an organized caring company
