Sabia Construction

Sabia Construction was a dream to work with and really brought our c. 1905 fixer-upper back to life. Their eye for detail and design really helped with decisions that needed to be made and their timeline was accurate. We enjoyed working with them and would recommend them to our friends and family.

We hired CJ / Sabia Construction for the renovation of our 1958 mid-century ranch in 2018. This being our second home and also our second home renovation (we renovated a 1910 Folk Victorian back in 2012 with a different contractor) - we knew the stress and chaos that a renovation can bring to daily life. We did our research and interviewed five contractors prior to making a decision. Upon meeting CJ, it was immediately apparent that he had a real passion for home renovation. He showed up to the interview with an open mind and listened intently to our needs and concerns before drawing up several iterations for floor plans. He took an incredibly personal and detailed approach throughout the entire project, treating our house as if it was his own. He provided historical and architectural context based on the era in which our home was built, and also came to the table with many great ideas that we hadn't thought of ourselves. Sabia's project manager and the subs were all friendly, efficient, and displayed excellent workmanship. They provided a standing weekly meeting to go over progress for each week that gave us peace of mind that things were getting done on time and on budget. I cannot stress how much this meeting meant to us each week. Our project completed within a week or two of the originally proposed timeline, and was very close to the originally proposed budget. There were no hidden surprises or unexpected issues. There are plenty of "cookie cutter" contractors out there to choose from, but if you want a personal and detailed approach with someone who is passionate about what they do, I highly recommend Sabia Construction. I recommend them to everyone and we will definitely be hiring them again if we do any additional work on our house in the future.

After we purchased our 1940 Cape Cod style home, we turned to Sabia Construction for the renovation. The scope of the project was a complete renovation of the 1st floor of the home with minor improvements to the 2nd floor and outdoor space We gutted the 1st floor, removing the original plaster that had been dry walled over, eliminating a major sag in the ceiling between floors and installing a new living room, kitchen, mudroom, bathroom, master bedroom, bath and closet. CJ did a wonderful job and we are so happy with our home. His subs were always friendly people who cared about the quality of their work as well as how happy we were with that work. He did everything the right way, no cutting corners, no easy fixes. He made sure we were involved, informed, and educated. CJ walked us through every step of the planning process with meticulous attention to detail. With any project of this size, challenges with an old house will arise and CJ quickly addressed those issues to our satisfaction. We had meetings each week to review the timeline, budget, outstanding issues and upcoming work plans. He came in right on schedule as promised and within budget. He was extremely patient with our many questions and he offers helpful suggestions, options and ideas. His prices reflect the quality of his team’s work. He is an awesome person to work with and generous in every way. We asked lots of questions and rather than taking those as a challenge to his expertise, he responds with humility and generosity and reassurance. We could not be more pleased with all he and his team have done for our home.

Sabia construction completed a large complex deck project for our home. CJ was pivotal in assisting us in selecting the wood type and helping assist with the design. The work was done timely and the project started and was completed on time. They were fantastic at staying within the budget that we allocated at the beginning of the project . Anytime we had a question it was answered timely and professionally. The work was done in a clean manner and they left our yard in great shape. We were so pleased with the work that was done and love the final product!
