Calder Custom Building

Nick Calder and his company essentially rebuilt our entire home and did an amazing job from start to finish. The project involved a complete remodel of almost all rooms – new plumbing, electrical, windows, doors, walls, ceilings, floors, fixtures, etc., including 4 complete bathrooms. There was major structural work, including the addition of a new deck and 800 sq. ft. of completely new space. He even designed, plumbed and built a set of incredible cascading water features.
Nick’s team undertook every phase of the project with a level of craftsmanship and attention to detail that I have never experienced in any previous remodeling effort. His finished product was spectacular. He also brought the project in within budget and on schedule.
Throughout the project, Nick worked closely with us at every stage and kept us fully informed of every salient detail of the progress. The few issues that arose (caused by pre-​existing issues, not by him) were caught and solved early and Nick found creative and clever ways to avoid additional costs and maintain everything within the established budget. He also has a great sense of economy and environmental preservation; e.g., he helped us salvage vintage hardwood from an obsolete deck and use it to terrific effect in the new construction.

I know it sounds like a stretch to suggest we could have done an entire project of this scope and never had a single problem, but I have to tell you that’s how it went down, and I credit it to Nick Calder and Calder Custom Building. I give him the highest possible endorsement.

How often do you hear these words about a general contractor? «I love my contractor and I cannot say enough good things about him». Any time anyone asks me about Nick, that is exactly what they hear from me.
Nick Calder and his crew remodeled our 100+ year old home, adding a bedroom, a bathroom and an entry hall as well as updating the kitchen, putting in recessed lighting, painting, moving some walls around, and building a brand new two car garage.
Initially we were concerned because he was the lowest of the four bids that we received, but after several conversations with his previous clients, we were convinced that Nick was our guy. And we were right. Nick is a very stand up straightforward person, who takes real pride in his work. When the inevitable hiccups came up, he handled them head on, made great suggestions and did everything at a reasonable cost. He has an amazing crew, who are careful conscientious and real artisans. We are so happy with the work they did and by the end (because we were living in the house while they finished up) they felt like family. I recommend him to anyone I know who is looking to do work on their home and in the the very unlikely event that we go through the remodel process again, I would hire him in a heartbeat.
