“Bruner Construction did a stellar job talking our family through a major renovation from design, demolition, foundation, framing, finish work, and the final punch list for occupation of the new space. We lived in the original part of the house the entire time, and James and his team were masterful at reducing the impact on our family and getting the job done in a timely manner despite New England’s unpredictable weather conditions. When the inevitable puzzles arose marrying an energy efficient new building with a 1950s colonial, James came up with brilliant and affordable solutions every time. We recommend Bruner construction highly for projects both large and small.”

“James Bruner saved my renovation project and my sanity! I was left with a horrible mess when a contractor walked out on my renovation job in the spring of 2012. James had to take over someone else’s poor work and make it beautiful for us in a very tight timeline. He did an amazing job renovating my master bedroom and bath and the new bedroom for my daughter. James is honest, trustworthy and reliable – which was incredibly important to me after my bad experience. He does what he says he will do, when he says he will do it and at the price he has quoted - that’s the most you can ask of a contractor. He is also very professional but friendly and easy to work with. We LOVE the finished product and couldn’t be happier. I have confidently recommended him to many friends over the past year and will continue to do so. You can’t go wrong working with James Bruner.”

“We could not be happier with the outcome - the care and integrity James brings to his work really shows in the final results. It is a pleasure to work with a master carpenter with such a complete understanding of all aspects of the job, who pays meticulous attention to fine details, and truly cares about his customer’s satisfaction. His obvious talent, along with an honest approach and competitive cost, will have me recommending James Bruner to anyone who needs carpentry or building work.”

“James Bruner is one of the most honest people I have ever met. His work is top notch - meant to last and be completed with character. He respects his customers, and he understands commitment.”

“Bruner and Son Construction built our recent addition and we could not be happier. James supported us in all aspects of the project. He was involved in the earliest planning stages as we worked through the design all the way to the final coat of paint. Throughout the project we were consistently delighted by James’ work ethic and craftsmanship. James was a problem solver, industrious and a true collaborator. We have worked with many contractors in the past, but our experience with James was by far and away the most positive. We can highly recommend working with him.”

“I initially hired James to get my rental apartment in shape for tenants; and he did such a quality job that when it came time for a major, architect designed renovation of my home, I choose James for the job. He spent the next 11 months on this huge project, working in all weather conditions, adjusting to the inevitable surprises encountered in an old house renovation, and working with me throughout the process to help manage costs, select materials, think about alternatives, and find the right sub-contractors. James demonstrated great technical skill in his work. He wants the renovation to work from the inside out - that is, he focuses on the details you will never see that are important to avoid repairs, leaks and issues in the future. Extra time with insulation, water proofing, ventilation, sealing cracks, solid foundations and thinking about the right materials, all gave me confidence that this house will last me for many years.

The thing that makes James stand out is his attention to quality; he is just not satisfied unless it is right. He works with quality materials throughout the job, and does not cut corners. A clean and safe work site is one of his obsessions, and you will find him cleaning and sweeping up at the end of each day. His prices are fair, and he is honest, extremely hard working, and communicates when things need adjusting, as they always do in a big project. I completely trusted James with my home, and I couldn’t be happier with the finished product. I would not hesitate to recommend his work.”
