Catherine H.

Need for Build transformed my front yard from what was essentially a parking lot of paver stones, to a beautiful oasis! The difference is so stark that many of our neighbors have complimented the work. Isaac, Jonathan, and Mikey were a great team to work with.

Michele S.

We worked with Need For Build to finish our master bathroom remodel. It was easy to make an appointment and Russ Young came out to meet with us as our Project Manager. We were very impressed with Russ. He is knowledgeable, personable and extremely good with communication.

Jenn W.

We worked with Need for Build to install new flooring, painting, and doors. Our project manager, Darrell, guided us with the best recommendations and provided step-by-step instructions. We are very pleased with how communicative he is.

Hofit B.

We recently finished another backyard remodel with Nfb, after they did our first house 2 years ago we now hired them again for the new house we moved into, this company is just what I was hoping to find from a professional, the quality of work, the communication, and the quality of the processes is just very different from all the other companies we interviewed, they are not the cheapest but was definitely worth the price.

Greg K.

Overall very happy!
We’ve been putting off this job for 5+ years because of the cost. A lot of it was structural issues that we needed to fix. Deck literally falling apart, needed new retaining wall, drains, concrete support etc. so it was a huge cost job for not the most exciting updates.

Shantel J.

Doron was a great project manager. He listened and communicated with my spouse and I exceptionally. The results came out better than we expected.
