We have engaged Barry Renovation and Construction for the following renovations on two major projects involving extensive reconstruction of a 40-50 year old kitchen, master bathroom and downstairs powder room. Each project included design and demolition of existing structures and management of sub-contractors-plumbers, electricians, plasterers, flooring specialist, carpenters, tiling specialists and painters. The projects also included ordering of materials and equipment of a particularly high standard. We have been exceptionally pleased with all the services, which is the reason we have continued to work solely with Barry Renovations for all of our needs. We highly recommend Barry Renovations and Construction for a broad range of renovation and construction services.
I am pleased to write this letter of recommendation for Kevin Barry. I have worked with many contractors over my 40-year career in property management. Kevin stands out as one of the best. Kevin is very knowledgeable, respectful and above all, honest. I find him very pleasant to work with. Kevin has completed a number of very different jobs in my properties. His work is always to the satisfaction of myself and my residents. He is also effective at working his schedule around the property owner’s needs. One of his greatest attributes is finishing the job when he says he will.
Barry Renovation and Construction provided window and door replacements on one occasion and on a later occasion, a complete renovation of our entire kitchen including demolition and removal of walls and ceiling and floor, coordination and installation of new high-end kitchen cabinets and appliances. He personally oversaw his subcontractors who provided the new electric wiring and lighting, plumbing (including gas line relocation for the cooktop), drywall, painting and finishes. He provided quality work on time and within our budget.
Barry Renovation and Construction has performed multiple projects in our home over the past 5 years. He did a complete demolition and reconstruction of our master bathroom, replaced the hall staircase, modernized the cabinetry and replaced light fixtures in our kitchen and created a new bathroom in our basement family room. Not only has the work itself been of outstanding quality, but Mr. Barry was creative and inventive in maximizing space available in our town home and recommending features that added to the attractiveness of the renovations. He was always extremely pleasant to work with and exceptionally reliable. Any client would be pleased with his work and lucky to have him.
I have known Kevin of Barry Renovation and Construction primarily due to my involvement in construction related activities. Kevin Barry has appeared in Court in construction related cases as an expert witness and has been qualified as an expert in construction and home improvements. When I decided to put an addition on my own house, I hired an architect with whom I had worked on several large projects by the name of Tom Flanagan. I asked Kevin Barry to be the general contractor so far as it relates to the demolition, framing and completing the shell for a second floor addition. I have the utmost confidence in Kevin Barry.
Kevin Barry has undertaken a series of residential construction projects for me over the past decade. He undertook complete responsibility for managing and coordinating all the trades on site demolition, masonry, electrical, mechanical, carpentry and finish work. In every instance, Mr. Barry performed all the work in an exceedingly professional and reliable manner. Both his management and craft skills were superb, and I would definitely work with him again on future projects and enthusiastically recommend him to my colleagues
This letter is to confirm that I have known Kevin Barry for over 12 years, and have worked with Kevin on several projects in the state of Maryland over that period of time. As an architect, I have the highest regard for his professionalism, work ethic, competence, and craftsmanship as a building contractor. I would therefore recommend him without hesitation for any building or renovations.
