J.P. Smith Builders describes its work as rooted in traditional craftsmanship, running from exterior restoration and repair to custom millwork, cabinetry and interior renovations. A recent Google customer hired J. Smith to restore a very old barn that doubles as a garage, and said he secured the entire structure with locally hewn hardwood beams while keeping the character of the original barn. A recent customer who hired JP to remodel their stairs said the project replaced the carpet and existing treads with new oak treads, replaced the newel posts and dowels, secured posts that were very loose, and added a new railing, risers, side panels and a decorative runner. The same customer said JP was efficient and communicated well throughout the project. A 2025 customer said JP worked on both the interior and exterior of their home, often putting in 9-hour days to get the job done. A 2024 customer said JP had done various construction and home maintenance projects in their older Cape home over the previous four years. A 2024 customer who used J.P. for multiple contractor jobs at their business said he always showed up when he said he would.

We feel incredibly fortunate to have found J. Smith to restore our very old barn, which doubles as a garage. He understood that this was more than just a building—it was a piece of our property’s history that deserved to be preserved. He secured the entire structure with beautiful, locally hewn hardwood beams, restoring its integrity both structurally and aesthetically while honoring the character of the original barn. He is an exceptionally talented craftsman. He is thoughtful, trustworthy, incredibly hardworking, and uniquely kind. He takes tremendous pride in his work and approaches every detail with genuine care and respect. We are deeply grateful for what he has done and would recommend him wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a truly exceptional builder and craftsman.
We hired JP to remodel our stairs this summer and he did a great job from start to finish. The project included replacing the carpet and existing treads with new oak treads, replacing the newel posts and dowels, securing the posts (which were very loose), installing a new railing and risers, and adding new side panels along the stairs, and a decorative runner. JP was efficient, communicated well throughout the project, and the finished stairs look awesome. We’re very happy with the results and would highly recommend his work. Attached are the before and after photos!
I am so grateful to have found JP. His craftsmanship on both the interior and exterior of my home surpassed any and all expectations I had. His work is meticulous, his work ethic incredible, often working 9 hour days to get the job done, and his only goal is to please his customers. My home actually looks better than I imagined it would! Thank you JP, we can't wait to work with you again!
