Lambert and Barr LLC describes itself on its website as a family-owned general contractor and builder based in New Milford, CT, taking residential and commercial/non-profit work, and says it has been in business 53 years. The Better Business Bureau lists it as accredited with an A+ grade. A recent customer said Jim and his crew finished a very complicated barn restoration in their tight timeline. The lead pastor of Echo Grace Church New Milford wrote that the company renovated the church, took on several longstanding issues that had been neglected for years, and stayed on schedule. An out-of-state property owner who needed repairs said Lambert & Barr was one of only two of six contractors who called back, fit the job into its schedule right away, and regularly sent photos and videos of the progress. A 2026 customer said the company built a major addition onto their home, including a larger master bedroom with a vaulted ceiling and exposed wooden beam, a walk-in closet, a spacious bathroom and a covered porch. That 2026 customer said the company handled the job from design and architectural planning through excavation, foundation work and framing. A 2024 customer said Jen and her crew renovated their bathroom; the job took a little longer than expected but came in on budget. A 2023 customer said the company repaired a basement that had suffered water damage, and a 2022 customer said it completed renovations of a basement family and laundry room. A 2025 customer said the company called back three weeks after a request for an estimate on small jobs, came out to look, and never called back with the estimate. In a 2017 Houzz review, a customer who hired the company after a fire said it "butchered our cabinets," double charged for some items, and left stairs, a deck, a front porch and part of the roof that had to be fixed or replaced. Connecticut lists its home improvement contractor registration, HIC.0548639, as active, held by Lambert and Barr LLC.
Lambert and Barr has been absolutely amazing to work with. Not only are Jim and Jen both very personable, knowledgeable, and respectful, but the quality of the work is excellent and their prices are more than fair. They aren't out to nickel and dime you, and you can tell they genuinely have your best interest in mind. Jim has also been extremely helpful in working through some issues I've had with my property, and has given me indispensable advice. If you need someone you can trust, this is the place to call.
I cannot say enough good things about Lambert & Barr LLC. I contacted six contractors when I needed repairs, and Lambert & Barr was one of only two who actually called me back. From the very beginning, they were professional, responsive, and willing to take the time to assess the work that needed to be done and provide me with an estimate. They responded to every phone call and email I sent and were very thorough and transparent about their pricing, including clearly explaining what was due and when. They were also able to fit me into their schedule right away, which was incredibly helpful during a very stressful situation. Because I live out of state, I was especially concerned about how I would keep track of the work. Lambert & Barr went above and beyond by regularly sending me photos and videos of the progress throughout the entire process. This gave me tremendous peace of mind and allowed me to feel involved even though I couldn't be there in person. I also have to mention the workmanship of their crew. The attention to detail was exceptional, and I was extremely impressed with the quality of the work. As an out-of-state property owner, Lambert & Barr LLC made one of the most stressful times in my life much less worrisome. Their communication, professionalism, transparency, and quality of work truly stood out. I highly recommend Lambert & Barr LLC to anyone in need of repairs, whether the job is small or large. I am very grateful that I found a company I could trust when I needed it most!
We had a very complicated barn restoration to do and Jim and crew did an excellent job. The restoration was an engineering feat that Jim and his crew finished in our tight timeline. Everyone was professional, friendly and accommodating. Working with Jenn and Jim was easy and the outcome worked out very well.
We had an outstanding experience working with Lambert and Barr on the renovation of our church. Jen, Kathy, and Jim are wonderful to work with! From start to finish, their team demonstrated professionalism, craftsmanship, and a genuine commitment to excellence. They helped transform our facility into a more welcoming and functional space while also addressing several longstanding issues that had been neglected for years. Their attention to detail, clear communication, and ability to stay on schedule made the entire process smooth.. The quality of the work exceeded our expectations, and the finished result has already made a significant difference for our church family and community as we seek to Echo God's Grace throughout the Northeast! We are grateful for their expertise and dedication and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and skilled construction partner. Adam Bishop - Lead Pastor, Echo Grace Church New Milford
