“I have worked with James Brolly on projects ranging from renovations in complex historical buildings, to the complete renovation and conversion of a single family home into a fully accessible home for multiple residents with severe developmental disabilities for a large non-profit organization.”
“James is a contractor with whom I would be happy to do business again”
I had an excellent experience with Jim Brolly from Brolly construction.
We just had a small job done with James Brolly and the finished result exceeded my expectations. Our home was built in the 20s and has a unique design. They had to replace siding, however we wanted to use cedar wood. In order to do this they had to custom each piece of siding to look like the original design. The project was done on time and we are very happy with their work.
