Barnes Custom Builders

I have worked with Charlie and his crew for several years, and his work is top-notch. Barnes Custom Builders is an all-around great company to work with.

Just completed our fourth home improvement project with Charlie and his team. Our kitchen is now the happiest place in my home! We’ve done siding/window replacements, remodeled two bathrooms, built an amazing outdoor kitchen and now a complete update of our 30+ year old kitchen. From design, to selections, to scheduling this project couldn’t have gone more smoothly (thank you Chris for your incredible stewardship). The subcontractors were beyond professional, timely and responsive. Thank you Charlie, Kate, Chris, Jim, Josh and the whole crew! We are so happy!

The ease of business, great communication and beautiful workmanship are all combined to make Barnes the very best we have worked with.

I hired Barnes Custom Builders to remodel 2 full bathrooms plus some other updates. Overall, a frustrating experience. At my request, the bathrooms were done one at a time, but it took them about 10 months to finish both. Many days went by without any work and when a sub finally shows up, they usually didn't finish the job or made mistakes. You're paying Barnes to manage the project for you, but they usually don't bother checking the work in detail. A lot of work had to be fixed or redone which added months of delays. You try to call them (Jim, Charlie, Chris), and they just lie about when they'll finish the job or lie about calling me back. Charlie, the owner, kept blaming the lack of progress on me for breaking the job in two and was rude. At the end of the day, the job got done, but it wasn't a positive experience, and I would look at other companies before hiring this one.

Charlie and his team were tremendous; from the ideas and planning stage right through to the final nail of our project. Barnes Builders are talented, professional and were able to work with the myself and my Seacoast Shores team to build exacting what we discussed from the outset. Thank you Charlie, we look forward to working with you on our next project. Regards, Jon G Elmblad
