Adirondack Construction

Deb and Rob just finished up their second project for us. The first was a kitchen remodel and the second was our secondary bathroom remodel. We could not be more pleased! They stayed on schedule and kept us up to date as to what was going on the entire project. I would highly recommend them for any project that you need done!

Westport Whole House Remodel. We bought a 1974 home on Lake Norman in November of 2018 with the intention of remodeling the main floor, modernizing the house, and improving the view. This project would include removing and moving walls, a new full kitchen, new master bath, new flooring, mechanical upgrades, many improvements, and a lot of unknowns. We met Robert and Deborah Fox twice at the home along with other contractors to discuss the approach and options I order to achieve the goals for our new family home. We are very hands on homeowners and intended to be closely involved throughout the project and wanted to be able to tailor the home and scope of work as we went along. It was obvious that asking for a hard bid would not work for us. We felt comfortable with Rob and Deborah and the approach to budgeting that Rob discussed as time and material plus a management fee. Almost immediately, we ran into unexpected structural issues that might have been a show-stopper for most contractors. Rob handled all the unexpected problems and we moved forward with the project. He is highly skilled and experienced in all aspects of the job. As we progressed along, we added more work and increased the scope without any pushback. Rob advised me of the progress almost every day and did a great job of communicating. He always answered his phone or promptly responded to my texts. I would talk about doing extra items or changing things and they took care of it. Rob listened to my hopes and dreams and they became his hopes and dreams. I am a picky and detailed person, but never had any issues with Rob or his work throughout the job. Overall, this was a big and complicated project. We discussed a six month timeline with completion by the 4th of July and we watched the fireworks from our new sunroom in our new home. There was significant work and progress every week. We replaced or upgraded the electrical, plumbing, heat/air, insulation, and just about everything else. We moved walls, doors, replaced the entire staircase, installed a huge wood floor, and have a dream kitchen and bath. We also did this on a budget. We were very mindful of spending and so was Rob. We picked every finish item and surface material carefully. One more important benefit is that when you choose Adirondack Construction you also get Deborah Fox. She designed/planned our kitchen, did all the cabinet layout and design, incorporated our ideas, ordered the cabinets, oversaw the cabinet installation, guided us through the granite selection and installation, managed all of the tile work, and handled problems. She worked with us on many more things than I am giving her credit for in this write up. Deborah is a major part of this Company. It was a real team effort. In the end, we spent more than originally planned, but we also did and received so much more than we originally planned. We basically remodeled or upgraded the entire house and it is magnificent. It is exactly the style we dreamed of, high quality, and would not have likely have happened with another contractor. All of our original goals were met and the finished project was better than we imagined. If you are a fair and reasonable customer, the Foxes are great people and a pleasure to work with. You will not be disappointed with the results or the experience!

Being new to the area we needed recommendations for a contractor. Our neighbors recommended Rob & Deb Fox of Adirondack. We couldn’t have been happier with their work, professionalism and concern for our projects. Having been in the business before, I could see and respect the effort they put into our remodel and addition. I HIGHLY recommend them for projects you may have.

Asked for an estimate from him and he didn't know how he could quote the job and had his friend who is a great engineer come out to discuss the different options in order to have Adirondack Construction complete the estimate. Unfortunately no estimate has ever been received and then meanwhile 2 months later he decides to charge us $350 for an hour of time. I thought we where going to use him, but based on his business ethics, I would never hire this company to even build a dog house.

It is rare in today’s world that we have the privilege of working with a firm with as much honesty and integrity as Adirondack. They have done multiple projects on three of our homes and each time have exceeded our expectations. Great ideas, quality, and excellent service.

Rob and his crew are not only terrific craftsmen but problem solvers. We bought a foreclosure in a great neighborhood and while it needed light work i.e. the replacement of a broken deck, we wanted to enlarge it and add a covered room. We also "blew out" the ceiling on a second floor "bedroom" with no windows (ugh) and Rob incorporated an attic window into the room, put in a fan, lights, and created a gorgeous landing by the window which is now accessed via a "spiral" staircase that Rob ran straight against the wall to the landing. Extraordinary! We also replaced some crappy windows and added sliders to the deck. From help with picking out the stone to the floor tile, new carpet, paint colors and windows, replacing cracked granite counters, and finding cedar boards for the interior of the room, Rob and his wife Deb, an interior decorator, were there for us every step of the way. Rob also sourced amazingly gorgeous thin wire and sleek steel curved stanchions for the new deck. Any problem was resolved without issue. His crew is also terrific and completely trustworthy, holding my keys for several months. One also did some other odd jobs during his time off with Rob's permission. And Rob even came by on Christmas Day, no less, when we were desperate and discovered a different garden contractor had installed an outdoor faucet that had frozen and broken, and water that we pay for was pouring out with no way to shut it off while we had no water pressure in the rest of the house! (That guy didn't even call back until almost noon the following day!) So above and beyond.
