Excellent quality workmanship. Would hire again for above. A bit slow at times and they do move people from job to job so it took a full year for a gut renovation project. Follow thorough is not their strongest point but when there were specific deadlines to meet eg Last years Thanksgiving they came through. We have a DECK house and wanted a contractor experienced with their style of construction which TSBC had. Over all very satisfied and would recommend and would use again Billy Kennedy was the primary carpenter and he was AMAZING.

The work was very good, although it took the Small Building Co two years to complete the work. We had foundation work done, which was very tricky, but they did get it done.
