    Jakub was excellent. He put railings on my front and back stairs. They are beautiful and installed perfectly. I loved working with him.

    Family Room/Attic Conversion and kitchen Remodel
    $1

    I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Jakub and BuildMax as they have successfully executed two major projects at our home. The first was in 2017 when BuildMax converted a small attic into an absolutely amazing family room. This was a very difficult project as (i) the exterior had to exactly match that of the three other units (ii) it was on 4th floor with some parts not easily reachable and (iii) he had to deal with some challenging personalities. Jakub and his crew came through with flying colors. They are professional, creative (provide great ideas) and true craftsmen. In addition, Jakub leverages his background as an architect to make fantastic recommendations with respect to designs, construction processes and materials. Jakub is very responsive and and backs up his work. After this project we've recommend BuildMax to numerous friends and we used him to remodel our kitchen which is now a cooking oasis thanks to BuildMax. In conclusion Jakub and BuildMax are the best contractor I've worked with and I've worked with a bunch!

    Basement
    $100,000

    Jakub and his crew remodeled our basement in 2019 and I couldn’t be happier. It went from wet and dingy to dry and gorgeous. He was very attentive throughout the whole process and always only a phone call away. I would definitely recommend him and work with him again in the future.
