We hired Howland Built Construction to remodel an existing studio on our property into a small dream home, an elegant house with exactly what we wanted during our retirement years. Now, one year later, we have been living in this new space for 3 months. From A to Z, we have been thrilled and delighted with Rory's attention to our project, and the high standards to which he held himself and every member of his team. The results are stunning, and we could not be happier. Rory has impeccable integrity - that really stands out. He never complains, raises his voice, or gets defensive. He is extremely creative and positive, and his contributions go way beyond just building to get the job done. He is involved in every decision, and willing to work patiently and thoughtfully with customers until any potential issues are resolved. He is a great problem solver, and on a couple of occasions he did not bill us to fix errors that occurred during the building process. Rory's communication skills are outstanding. He is perfectly clear about what to expect on a weekly basis, both in terms of costs and results. His team of workers are all meticulous craftsmen, and are some of the nicest people you'd ever want to have around your home. All of them contributed to the vision that we had, and worked to make it even better than we could have imagined. Their suggestions and their fine workmanship made for a superb outcome. Everyone who visits us is wowed by the beauty and efficiency of our new home. I recommend Rory Howland without any reservation. He is simply fabulous. If you are looking for a contractor who will give you the best of everything, choose Howland Built.

My wife and I hired Rory to replace broken down sliding glass patio doors with dual French doors. Work included demo, reframing, installation and detailed interior and exterior. finish. Setup was smooth. Rory came to our home to review the work to be done, and to help us choose the right doors and hardware. His bid was reasonable, and he was happy to negotiate some savings based on having us supply handle and lock hardware ourselves. He personally inspected our doors when they arrived at the suppliers. They were damaged during shipping. Rather than trying to fix or work around them, he had them sent back for a replacement pair at no extra cost to us. The two builders Rory sent were also professional and thorough, and worked through a few challenges resulting from sloppy work by the original home builders years ago. They did a great job, and the final result exceeded our expectations. We're happy to give him 5 stars - highly recommended!
