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!”

I met E.J. Jaxtimer about 12 years ago when we were looking to a buy a home that needed a major renovation. I wanted to get a contractor to look at it and give me some professional advice. I had only heard of E.J.’s reputation through some friends and acquaintances. We had never met, but he agreed to meet me and look over the house and property. He gave me some ballpark numbers, his personal opinions, showed me other houses he was working on to give me an idea of the caliber of work they did. E.J. was very professional, accommodating, and very engaging. He has a very happy smile! The work done on the homes he showed me was impeccable, beautiful craftsmanship, exquisite woodworking.” But, we didn’t buy that house.

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.

My architect did a great job of crafting the build docs, but there were still instances where special realities had to be reinterpreted and modified. Again, the Jaxtimer team was very effective in bringing their expertise to my aid to help in those “configuration” tweaks as they arose. I felt they had my best interest in mind. I felt they understood the importance of this house to my wife and I, and I appreciated that genuine concern.
We had a few bumps along the way. Each was handled correctly and resolutions were always found.

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.
