Praxis Home Builders

My wife and I bought a house in Lyon Farm in Greenwich, Ct pre-covid. That alone would make any project almost impossible.We did a complete gut renovation down to the studs. We worked with Chris to create a interior that suited our needs including adding an elevator. Chris worked well with the architect and made many thoughtful suggestions. Chris has excellent taste which helps a lot when redesigning a home. He was very hands on, his subs did a great job and he has stood by all his work. We put a lot of trust in Chris, as we were not living in Ct during most of the construction. He did not disappoint and exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend him and and feel he is a few steps above most contractors. He deserves 5 stars! Sue and Dan Mahoney

Chris is very easy to work with, very knowledgeable, practical and very available. My project was a whole house gut renovation. The project went smoothly, any issues handled efficiently and it looks great! Would work with him again

Praxis Home Builders completed a kitchen and family room renovation. Chris Barrymow is extremely professional. He has extensive knowledge and experience in building and renovating, pays attention to detail, is hands on and seeks solutions. He respects timelines, budgets. Chris is very responsive to client needs, brought high level expertise to the project and produced an outstanding result.

We have known Chris for over 10 years and he has completed a host of projects for us, including building a beautiful new home. Perhaps the most important thing I can note for anyone reading these reviews is that I have recommended him to two good friends who have also built, or are building, new homes with him. Having known many contractors over the years, I can say without hesitation that Chris is a professional and trustworthy contractor that is fair on price and backs up his promises, which can be a rarity in this field. His subcontractors are honorable and talented people, he runs an efficient operation and he does it at a reasonable price. He is also extremely responsive which is of the utmost importance when dealing with construction management. At every turn Chris has exceeded our expectations, stayed on budget and finished our projects on time. His professionalism, knowledge, honesty and responsiveness are beyond reproach.

We recently purchased a very old house that needed to be completely gutted and renovated. Our decision to use Chris was a bit unusual - in order to secure a renovation loan and mortgage we needed to have a contractor identified and loan papers signed in a very short period of time. Not knowing any contractors, I called Chris on a weekend and he picked up his phone, answered my questions and agreed to meet us at house to give his opinion. He kindly signed our papers the evening before leaving for a family vacation and we had no choice but to put our faith in him. He delivered! During the course of our project, Chris was ALWAYS on time when we needed to meet, as well as on time finishing the project! He also communicated things clearly and we appreciated that. Since we were new to renovating, we occasionally needed help making decisions. Chris and his “guys” were helpful in this area. As for the price, I can’t comment on his costs because I have nothing to compare it to. I can say, however, that everything looks really, really nice and we are very happy with the results. He’s been responsive anytime we’ve had to call with questions or issues after moving in. Renovations can be stressful but Chris and his people definitely minimized the stress and made the process as painless as possible. Highly recommend.

I have known Chris from Praxis for over 10 years. He is very reliable and knowledgable about the home building process. I encourage anyone who it looking for a builder to utilize Praxis Home Builders services.

We have used Praxis/Chris for a number of years for a number of projects: from simple (tile 1/2 bath floor), to big (fundamental refresh across many sub-project: plumbing, painting, window replacement, etc,). He is great. Always a great attitude; identifies solutions not problems. His subs a all great; many have come back a number of times. Highly recommend him
