Report
I found Brad Barlow by reading reviews online. He more than lived up to the praise online. We hired him to change our existing bathroom configuration to a powder room and two master baths. I wanted to "save" our older tile as it is very attractive. He worked with me to preserve that tile and make a beautiful bathroom configuration. We have also hired him to do some work at our business as well as more work at home.
He will be power washing and staining our deck, putting an egress window in the basement and replacing a sliding patio door and front door. He is very thorough and pays attention to every detail. He has pets himself, so he did not mind our two kitties monitoring his work. I really don't want to leave this review because I don't want to share his time with anyone, but what can you do?

Brad and his crew handled my sunroom reconstruction. They were very professional and kept the yard tidy while they were working. The final product is great. Several of my neighbors stopped by to ask for help with their own projects.

We are so very glad that we chose Barlow Builders when designing and building our new deck. Brad was wonderful to work with from the beginning, providing a detailed estimate for the materials and labor involved and excellent suggestions for finalizing the deck's design. He and his crew (Denny and Bruce) are meticulous craftsmen and made sure that every detail was carefully constructed. We especially appreciated their communication throughout the project and their explanations for handling the various issues that inevitably arise with home remodeling projects. We'd recommend Barlow Builders to anyone looking for a dedicated, reliable builder.

I contacted Barlow Builders because I needed some repairs on my home. Brad came out and assesed the work I needed to be done. Shortly a worker came from his company. He repaired my gutters and did some small projects that I needed done in the house. Completely satisfied with the work that was done at a reasonable rate. Thank you Brad!

Barlow Builders has finished many wonderful additions to our home. We have had Brad make a beautiful sun room upstairs and an art studio below it in the lower level. Brad has been able to fix many difficult problems to our complete satisfaction. Brad is very reasonable, honest and able to communicate intelligently the information I have needed to know.
