My wife and I couldn't be happier with choosing James River Construction to add a master suite addition to home. With an 1800s farmhouse we knew it would be a complicated build and were worried a new addition to our home could look out of place. The James River Construction team put so much thought into matching the right materials and had such high quality craftmanship that we could barely tell where our old house stopped and the new addition started! Our project manager Jimmy was always responsive, organized, and clear about the next steps of the project. They were spot on for what the final costs could be even in their initial estimate and were very fair with their pricing when we compared to proposals from other companies. And finally, they stuck around even after the project was finished to make sure every single thing was taken care of. It was clear after working with several members of the James River Construction Team that they were professional and clearly cared about the quality of their work. We consider ourselves lucky to have chosen James River Construction for our project and hope to use them again in the future!

James River Construction (JRC) just completed a total renovation of my 65 year-old home that I grew up in and recently inherited. My entire experience with my JRC team was wonderful. They truly understood my vision of bringing the house up to date and making it mine while still paying respect to the bones of the house that I knew so well. I had a core team member for each phase of the project, planning, design and construction. They worked very well together and with me. I truly felt like we were all in this together. I liked that they had me do a walk-thru every two weeks to see what had recently been done and what they were about to do. That allowed me to raise any questions or concerns as we went along so that they could be addressed then instead of waiting to the end. The finished project is amazing! What a transformation!. I feel like I'm living in a new house. Although I'm glad the project is finished so that I can now enjoy living in the house, I'm actually going to miss having my JRC team around. I don't think you can say that about too many contractors. They were always professional, kind, and did great work. They became like family to me. I highly recommend them for any renovation project.

James River Construction brought our vision to life, with professionalism, attention to detail and extraordinary quality. We set out to craft an addition to a beloved family home that would respect its history but address its limitations. The result is a light-filled living area that embraces its wooded surroundings, invites family gatherings and wows us each time we arrive home. In the end, what impressed us most about James River was not just the 99% of things that went right — it was their approach to the inevitable bumps that will arise with any construction project. They listened and found solutions. Kudos to the staff, and particularly to Raven, our project manager, for his tenacity in getting the details right. We couldn’t be happier.
