Our favorite part of the projects we have done with E.J. Jaxtimer is the design process.  Over the past ten years, we have worked with E.J. and his construction team to expand a kitchen and family room including; custom cabinetry and teak and holly countertops crafted by Chris Rugg

When my husband and I purchased our home several years ago, the hard choice was whether to tear it down or renovate. The easy choice was the builder: E.J. Jaxtimer Builder was not our only option, but it certainly was our only choice. Since we ultimately decided to renovate nearly every foot of our house, we needed a company that would be sensitive to the special aspects of our antique home, while also giving us the updated conveniences and style that we wanted to incorporate. They responded with “Yes, we can” to every request with patience, and worked hard to solve complicated problems. We couldn’t have been more pleased.

We have been devoted customers to E.J. for at least two decades. He has steadfastly provided the highest level of service possible – from conceptualizing about a prospective project to the final flourish. E.J. has tremendous vision and clarity when talking through an idea for a project. Recently his crew of craftsmen transformed our bat-infested and claustrophobic attic into a spacious and light-filled work space. A large and modern kitchen was similarly created out of a rabbit-warren of pantries and larders. Our home is an “antique”, with sloping ceilings and floors and asymmetrical walls; excruciating attention to detail was needed in order to have a smooth finish.

Not only have we hired E.J. as our builder, but we use his landscape services. In conjunction with a kitchen project, a beautiful walled garden was created. It is now the focal point of our yard, where we gather for meals, barbeque, etc. The landscape crew is wonderful.

We had a great experience working with E.J. Jaxtimer and his team for an extensive cape house renovation. E.J. was highly recommended to us by our architect Patrick Ahearn. From start to finish, E.J. and his team were professional, diligent and performed high quality work with great attention to detail. They were responsive throughout the project and helped with guidance through many difficult decisions. The work site was as close to immaculate as one can be. Despite the fact that we were not able to check on the progress daily because we were not local, the team was on time and completed projects when promised. We highly recommend E.J. and team.

Michele and I share a common view of the work of E.J. Jaxtimer. In a word, “awesome”. During our past 50 years, we have lived in various parts of the country and have built or added onto numerous homes. On the Cape, we were fortunate to remodel and construct substantial additions onto two older, charming Cape homes. In both cases, though a few years apart, we used E.J. Jaxtimer and have been ecstatic with the results. The creativity and craftsmanship, in our experience, were unparalleled. Moreover, working with E.J. and his team of professionals both on and off of the job, is a joy!”

E.J.’s construction staff continues to be available to us whenever the need arises for something that needs attention or even something special! It’s great to know you’ve got a partner in E.J. He’s always willing to help.

We rented for the next few years until we found “the perfect” house and location. A summer cottage without heat or air, no basement, windows falling apart, but we loved it!

Several years later after our initial meeting with E.J., we called him. Once again he was very accommodating and friendly. We hired him to renovate our “dream cottage”. Having done several other house renovations, I like to be very involved in the project. I would visit the site every few weeks to check on progress and to make decisions as needed. I’d to meet with E.J. and his staff, they always seemed happy to see me. His crew was terrific. Our project manager was with us at every step of the way, helping with decisions and providing options. We had an amazing working relationship. His carpenters were perfectionists, his subs were all very responsive. The job site was always neat and clean (which is extremely important I realized having experienced some renovations that were not). E.J. met our move-in date for a planned family reunion and the house turned out to be perfect!
