What our customers say about us

Leslie Brown
Cranston, Rhode Island

We love our kitchen. We love our house. Bob rocks.

We hated our kitchen and it was the one reason we did not want to buy the house, but also the thing that made it affordable. Calyx (Bob, the owner) agreed to work with us through the whole project and spent a lot of time with us thinking and talking about a viable floor plan and how we might blend a new kitchen into a 1930s cape cod. He gave us a range of options for materials and explained clearly how the process would unfold and how pricing would work. We set a timetable (family coming to visit). Then Bob walked us through the project again, and orchestrated crews and subcontractors who did each layer of the work. Punctual, professional, they finished on time and on budget with no surprises, despite some problems along the way (like discovering mold and redoing a bathroom along the way). We love our kitchen. We love our house. Bob rocks. .

In a world where any guy with a shovel and a truck can call himself a contractor, we were highly discriminating when we took bids for our kitchen/family room remodel.

Big decisions are tough but our decision to use Calyx Builds (Bob Brierley) was, without a doubt, the right one. In a world where any guy with a shovel and a truck can call himself a contractor, we were highly discriminating when we took bids for our kitchen/family room remodel. We found Calyx Builds on Angie s List and checked their references thoroughly. The owner and general contractor, Bob Brierley, proved to be knowledgeable and accommodating from the start. His suggestions added important details to our plans that, in the end, improved the outcome tremendously. His detailed schedule and thorough contract gave us a precise picture of the project. His estimates for time and cost were realistic and accurate. Bob always answers his phone making him easily reachable; this is tremendously reassuring. Our job required coordination of carpenters, plumbers, electricians, a wallboard and plaster team, as well as a kitchen consultant. Each job was scheduled and completed like clockwork. Bob always called us the night before explaining the sub-contractor s up-coming task and arrived in the morning with them. Then, if he had to leave, he would check their work in the evening to make sure it was done correctly. Everyone involved in our project was professional and respectful. Also, each night the site was thoroughly cleaned-up and swept making the process easier to live with. Details are important to us and he checked with us along the way to make sure that the project was developing the way we wanted. If we wanted to make changes, Bob was happy to work with us and never became frustrated by the inevitable adjustments that often come up. The end result is even better than we envisioned. We will confidently recommend him to others and look forward to calling him again when his expertise is needed.

I was so pleased with every detail this company performed that I highly recommend Calyx Homes
to everyone.

Calyx Homes completely renovated my son’s home. A previous contractor had removed the whole roof to change a cape style home into a colonial. The previous contractor put a tarp with holes in it on the open roof and when it rained the entire house was completely flooded. Bob Brierley of Calyx Homes took over the project and within about seven weeks completely restored the entire home. His professionalism, concern and courtesy was outstanding. The men who work for him are well chosen and extremely competent.

I was so pleased with every detail this company performed that I highly recommend Calyx Homes to everyone. The company is well diversified. The build homes, renovates them and take on small jobs. They recently installed granite countertops in my kitchen. Bob Brierley, the owner of the company, is a hands on kind of guy and takes pride in all his workmanship. I am very satisfied and will continue to call on him for any future projects I may endeavor in.

Happy New Year Bob! I've finally got a moment to download some photos of our remodeled kitchen. We still love it! And no one can believe that you finished the project as scheduled, in only one month. Thanks!

Jo-Ann Molinaro (RI Realtor) Client's Comments

The kitchen remodel was pretty extensive - literally new from floor to ceiling - and we love it! I can't recommend Bob highly enough. He started and finished both projects on time and the work was great! He's a real perfectionist and is great at staying in contact through the work process.

Thank you for making my house beautiful. Now it looks like the cottage I always envisioned. Your workers were quick and reliable and they kept my yard immaculate   every day.
Now, when I drive up to my house I love it, love it, love it. My favorite part of the new exterior if the new half round window with the rounded shingles above it.  Erick and I really wanted the look of wood and the vinyl shingles achieved just the look we wanted. Thank you for making my little house the house I always knew it could be.

Our experience with Bob Brierley of Calyx Homes, along with his competent team of employees, subcontractors and vendors surpassed our expectations.
    
From our first meeting with Bob, we knew that his interest was in how he could design a house to suit our needs. He spent a lot of time discussing specifics and making sure everything was to our liking. He never hesitated in giving us references and we were given a tour of a house built by Calyx. We were shown in detail, aspect of the home, i.e. heating system, windows installed, siding, roofing, gutters, faucets, showers and many more specifics which we could tell were of excellent quality and design. The vendors Calyx Homes referred us to were very professional and all had extensive knowledge of their products and helped us immensely in choosing the items that would make our home just what we had in mind.
   
 Bob and his team were always prompt when making appointments, stayed with the deadlines as much as humanly possible and followed through on ever detail. We were extremely happy with all aspects of the building process. Should you chose to use Calyx Homes, and we would highly recommend you do, feel free to call us and we would be happy to discuss our experience with you.
