By Elias B.September 30, 2024Living room and bathroom renovation$30,000
We just finished an extensive home improvement project with Calderbank’s that included plumbing, electrical, plus a ton of intricate carpentry (replacing destroyed 100+ year old inlaid hardwood floors). We could not be happier with the finished product. The attention to detail alone was worth the price, but it’s the fact that Glenn sources the best possible materials that sealed the deal for me. Respectful, courteous, and always on time as promised. This is the best contractor experience we’ve ever had.

Time sure flies when you are having fun! This review is long overdue. My family has been working with Glenn Calderbank for the last several months on a project to renovate an historical property. We knew nothing about what was going to be involved - but we did know we needed a skilled/experienced contractor and craftsman, someone we can trust, someone who could guide us, keep expenses under control, and lastly, maintain the historical aesthetic of our property. In walks Glenn. We all knew he was our guy at the first meeting. Our renovations were significant, but Glenn was unfazed, flexible and heard all of our concerns. He took care of everything - giving us good advice on everything from cabinets, to appliances and what's "not gonna work". He came up with some really wonderful design ideas that just took our breath away. Some of the ideas we had to push to "phase 2" - but everything was done that we asked for and then some. We did have a few surprises (more than 1 but less than 10!) - all of which he was able to solve and he did it right - no shortcuts or sloppy work here. It probably would be pretty easy to gloss over these surprises given we are renovation neophytes. But he didn't - he made the repairs the right way even though it pushed the schedule back. Glenn's crew is top notch: professional, skilled and totally reliable. It is an absolute joy to have them on the property. It's not a usual thing where the contractor is so trusted you just let him do what he needs to do and some of what he wants to do. We have learned from Glenn. He has taught us alot and he shares his knowledge and experience easily. We felt incredibly blessed to have him and his crew on our team. Glenn is our guy for as long as he's willing to put up with us!

By Zena M.July 9, 2024rebuild enclosed porch$24,350
Glenn and his team rebuilt our front porch for us. We had inherited someone's DIY extravaganza, and it was actually beginning to fall off the house, so it needed to be replaced. We were also hopeful that we could arrange for something more attractive, and had seen a porch Glenn had done across town that we admired. Everything he suggested turned out beautifully: stained glass accents, a period-appropriate front door, 200-year-old oak for the interior. What my husband used to affectionately call our "junkyard porch" is no more, and in its place is something absolutely gorgeous. People literally cross the street to tell me how lovely it is!
Also, having worked with a number of contractors in my life, I appreciate Glenn a lot. He's straightforward and communicative as well as highly skilled; he has a great eye for detail; and his rates are quite reasonable (especially considering the end result). If you want something not just really good but genuinely special, he is the person to hire.

We’ve only started our bathroom remodel with Glenn but so far they have been excellent. They went above and beyond to be careful, clean and considerate with the demo and we were surprised at how well they cleaned up.
Will update as the job is completed but so far everything has been great and run smoothly! -
By buildzoomMay 30, 2023Fix structural issue and redo bathroom
We had started out wanting to correct 2nd floor sagging issue and redo a bathroom, and Glenn investigated and quickly found the root of the problem with our floors was a failed beam in a load bearing location. (This was after several other contractors missed the problem.) Glenn's team quickly addressed the structural issue, fixing our floor sag in the process, as well as restoring our bathroom. The dry wall work, tiling, etc. were very well executed - we were very satisfied with the job.

By D R.December 22, 2022Porch restoration
Our 2 porches were in need of lots of work - and Glenn and his team did a great job restoring them. They replaced railings and posts (fabricating to match our 1880s house) replaced stairs, refinished floor on one porch and installed new mahogany floor on the other. Glenn also replied promptly to calls and gave the estimate quickly. We highly recommend him!

When Calderbank’s calvary rumbles down your driveway you will breathe a sigh of relief knowing that your home is in their hands. Glenn is an “old school” remarkable craftsman and more. He and his crew restored/rescued our nearly 100yr old lakehouse; it was amazing to watch their precision and artistry transfigure our home. Working with Glenn is a gift…a mix of This Old House mastery meets Teddy Roosevelt leadership with a touch of Dr Phil realism. It’s an eccentric blend but one that leads to beautiful results. If you treasure your home and admire fine craftsmanship, don’t hesitate to call Glenn.

By Thomas K.October 14, 2022Bathroom renovation, room addition, exterior repairs & master closet construction$150,000
We had interior and exterior work done by Glenn and his team. This property is my home but I own several rental properties. In the time that I have owned the rentals and other past primary residences I have worked with a multitude of general contractors. My experience with Glenn and his team was the first really positive one. Glenn is very straightforward. He won’t show up to your house with a lifted truck and a flashy presentation. He comes with a keen eye and years of experience. He will provide you with a detailed proposal and will deliver on that proposal. Hidden costs won’t appear and you won’t hear any “sorry this cost more than I expected” from him. The only reason we had any changes to the amount my project cost was when I explicitly said I wanted to add something and Glenn made it clear that I would incur an additional charge. The quality of workmanship was excellent and it was obvious that Glenn cared about the finished product as much, if not more, than I did. He added character to every space. No room was just paint, Sheetrock and fixtures. Every room was given personality and Glenn personally crafted added details to each space. He sources the best materials and for work on historic homes he takes great pride in making sure his work is indistinguishable from the original structure. Could not more highly recommend Glenn and his team!

By Alexander Z.December 2, 2021Full house renovation and 2 story addition$300,000
Glenn and his team are absolutely incredible. We are so happy to have found them. Glenn truly treats each job like he was working on his own house. He has such care for our vision for the house but what sets Glenn apart is that he brings so much experience to the table that he is able to understand our hodgepodge vision and make it a reality. And not just a reality, but something we couldn't even imagine was possible. If I could, I would give Glenn 6 Stars! Because that would be one more than 5.

By John G.May 17, 2021Kitchen remodel
Glen and his team were a perfect match for us for our kitchen remodel/rebuild. We had a few ideas of the general direction we wanted to go, and he took those simple ideas and was able to create our dream kitchen and home bar. The job was on budget and completed on time. I would recommend Glen for any construction project especially to people willing to sit back and let him work his magic.

By Loryn P.August 3, 2019Molding, crown molding, painting, minor electrical work$18,000
We were very impressed with Glenn’s carpentry and the professionalism of his team, however, even with a detailed work order Glenn was belligerent with me regarding completing it in a timely manner. We started the job at least one week late, then he took off three days and a one week job turned out into a three week endeavor while I was sick with bronchitis. Unfortunately his work did not hold up and we paid $18,000.00 to replace two closet French doors, electrical work molding and crown molding. I had to request they paint my doors, even though this was in the contract. I even obsolved him of minor damage that he was overwrought about occurring. He removed window treatment with a written contract to put new window treatments back up but he stated this was not in the contract — he had to come back to repair an electrical failure, but refused when the curtain rod fell off the wall and closet doors no longer close due to issues with the doors. He charged a lot of money and was rude to my husband.
Response from Calderbank's historical restoration LLC. Glenn Calderbank 856.628.0428 August 17, 2019There is just no pleasing some people The window treatments were overweight and in children's rooms And it's almost a year later I offered to reinstall at cost But they hung up on me -
By Billy M.March 10, 2019Living Room, Hall and Bedroom$15,000
Glenn and team are extremely professional and amazing craftsman. His vision for our entire home was transformed from a paper drawing to reality. Attention to detail and innovative design was the result and the family is happy with all the improvements. I highly recommend Calderbanks to anyone that is looking for high quality. Thank you for everything.

By Richard S.August 11, 2017Verified HireBathroom Remodel project
Good result for the cost and quality of work offered. Job was completed in timely manner, but supervision of workers could have been better: In particular, some details of spackling and painting were initially subpar, and required calls to the contractor to address these deficiencies in the last couple of days. To his credit, Glenn dealt with the issues we raised in a professional manner and delivered above expectations with the plumbing and electrical work performed. Overall end result was very good.

Incredible wonderful excellence experience. I've used several contractors in the last 35 years and my exerience as been both good and bad. My experience with Calderbank was the best out of all contractors I've used in my lifetime. He goes above and beyond to make the customer pleased.

When it comes to renovating and restoring century plus, historic homes, finding the right contractor who respects and understands the essence of your home’s history is crucial. That’s exactly what we found with Glenn Calderbank. Even with a small project like the restoration of our 150-year-old double entry doors, Calderbank’s demonstrated a profound commitment to balancing modern functionality with historic quality
What impressed us most was not just Calderbank’s expertise but also their passion for the work. I feel Glenn is a true historian at heart, meticulous and serious about maintaining high-quality craftsmanship. This wasn’t just another job for him and his team; it was a passion project. They spent considerable time ensuring that the new door handles blended seamlessly with the older hardware we cherished, as well as with the existing door frame—challenges that might have deterred a less dedicated professional.
The team was friendly and hardworking, always keeping their workstation tidy and ensuring everything was clean after each day's work. It's clear that Calderbank’s aims to please their clients and won’t settle for anything less than perfection.
The project, which took 8 weeks and was completed at a fair price. Most of the time was waiting on custom-ordered materials tailored to our unique needs. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome.
For those living in historic districts or own century-plus old homes, I highly recommend Calderbank’s for your restoration projects, big or small. I look forward to using them more in the future. Their dedication and expertise are unmatched.
