“Exceptional quality work and extremely easy to deal with.”
“We had our first floor and an addition completely renovated by Elmshire almost ten years ago.”
We had our first floor and an addition completely renovated by Elmshire almost ten years ago. Even now, a decade later, we consistently receive praise on the work as if it was just completed. They were both easy to collaborate with and highly professional.

I've used Elmshire 3x to help create the home of my dreams. Their work is always high quality and their ream is easy to work with and importantly they aspire to complete the work exactly as you all had agreed to. They are always my first call and have recommended them to everyone who asks!

“We had such a wonderful experience with Elmshire Builders.”
We had such a wonderful experience with Elmshire Builders. From the initial meeting through the final steps, Elmshire made the process as easy as possible. They took the time to make us feel comfortable with our decisions, and their attention to detail was like none other! I would 100% recommend Elmshire and would only use them again.

“We had a fire that required a total rebuild (everything inside--past the studs and all the way to the bricks had to go).”
We had a fire that required a total rebuild (everything inside--past the studs and all the way to the bricks had to go). We had the great good fortune to be connected with Elmshire by our architect. The Elmshire team was super in every way--highly skilled in every respect (electrical, paint, carpentry, plumbing, etc., etc.). And we also benefited from the excellent overall supervision and direction by Rob W, the head man from Elmshire on our project. It's now been 9 years since the fire. We talk at home a lot about what a great job Elmshire did and they remain available to us if we have questions or requests. Highest recommendation!

“We used Elmshire Builders for two projects in our home.”
We used Elmshire Builders for two projects in our home. We were newbies at renovations and they held our hand throughout a major renovation of our first floor. After a great experience with them on our first floor project, we hired them to turn our master bathroom and bedroom into a spa like retreat.

“We worked with Elmshire Builders on a gut rehab project in 2021/22.”
We worked with Elmshire Builders on a gut rehab project in 2021/22. We had done smaller projects on our own before, but never one of this scale. This was also during Covid, so we had it all: pricing volatility, people falling sick, shortages of sub contractors - but we worked through it all. They were not only fantastic, knowledgeable (and well organized) craftsman regarding most building tasks, but great to collaborate with along a winding and often surprising journey. I highly doubt anyone would regret choosing them on any building project!

I have used Elmshire for several substantial projects at our 1924 home over several years - refinishing our kitchen, powder room, mudroom and laundry, redoing all the windows in our home as well as refinishing our bathrooms. Eric and his team are easy to communicate with, set reasonable expectations, and do exceptional work that was in keeping with our historic home. I highly recommend Elmshire.

“These guys are the best.”
These guys are the best. Exceptional quality work and extremely easy to deal with. They stand behind their work and are very responsive. I’ve recommended them to several folks over the years, many of which have engaged them for their home construction needs.
