One family has used Salt Pond Builders for renovations inside and out of their house over the past few years — that August 2024 Google review says the work stayed on budget and finished on time, and that Bill kept in touch afterward with vendor recommendations for emergency repairs. The South Kingstown, Rhode Island company describes itself on its website as a father-and-son design-build team with 40+ years of experience, focused on custom home building, remodeling, and kitchen and bathroom work. It shows 5 stars from 10 Google ratings, and its four written Google reviews all date from mid-2024. Those reviews describe real projects. In a June 2024 review, a homeowner had Bill re-side the house in cedar, from design and materials through installation and sealing the wood, then brought him back to redesign the deck railing and outdoor staircase railing. Another June 2024 review describes a big renovation and expansion finished on schedule, crediting Bill and Steven with guiding decisions that fit the budget and design goals. In a May 2024 review, a customer who had met with a number of Rhode Island contractors said that after the quote, Bill was fine with them taking the night to review the details with their spouse, and that the crew was efficient and respectful of the home. The company's website lists free estimates. Rhode Island's contractor registry lists its home improvement registration, #GC-41947, as expired.
We’ve used Salt Pond Builders to renovate almost every part of our house, inside and out, over the past few years. Bill and his team always do top-notch work, staying on budget, finishing on time, and delivering beautiful results. Bill’s professionalism doesn’t end when the job is done—he stays in touch and is a great source of advice for anything a homeowner might need. We’ve relied on him for expert recommendations for vendors needed for emergency repairs and other projects around the house. I highly recommend Bill and Salt Pond Builders for any home construction or renovation needs.
I had heard great reviews about Bill and his company, Salt Pond Builders, from a friend of mine and read good things online. They proved to be every bit as good as their stellar reviews, and then some. I contacted Bill to discuss re-siding our house (with cedar siding). He was helpful every step of the way, from selecting the most aesthetically-pleasing design, to selecting the best materials, to the installation itself, to the sealing of the wood once it was installed. The job was so well done that we then asked Bill to help us redesign our deck-railing and outdoor-staircase-railing, too. Not only was all of the work he and his team did extremely high-quality, but it was done on budget, and on time. Communication with Bill was excellent at all times, and he was great to collaborate with. My vision of how things should look was definitely enhanced talking each project through and collaborating with him. Bill and his crew were consummately professional, and every person Bill brought in to help with a project was equally professional, polite and efficient. In addition to his professional excellence, Bill also happens to be an incredibly nice person. In my experience, this combination of great capability, professionalism, and kindness is hard to find in this industry. I therefore cannot rate Bill and Salt Pond Builders highly enough: If I could award 6 stars to Bill and his company, I happily would.
We recently completed a big renovation and expansion at our house, and we couldn't be happier with Salt Pond Builders. They provided top-notch customer service and construction from start to finish. They were always responsive and paid close attention to details, keeping us informed every step of the way. The project was completed right on schedule as promised. Bill and Steven's expertise guided us to make smart decisions that fit both our budget and design goals. We would gladly choose them again for any future building projects!
After meeting with a number of contractors in Rhode Island over the past two years, working with Salt Pond Builders has been a refreshing change of pace. I knew from the beginning this project would be different because Bill demonstrably cares about his business and his clients. After quoting my project, I asked if I could take the night to review and discuss with my spouse, and without hesitation Bill said that was fine and we should review the details to make sure everything was correct and that we were comfortable with our choice to hire Salt Pond Builders.. The crew was efficient and respectful of our home, and the end result is better than I imagined. I can’t stop smiling when I see the differences in our new home.
