What Our Clients Say
"Barbour Construction, Inc. did an amazing job helping us completely remodel the kitchen in our 101-year-old home. We are thrilled with the final product. Paul, Carri, Jammie, and Gabe were available to us every step of the way. They were all so skilled in their specific areas and always eager to help us. They never made us feel we were asking too many questions, and they never found a problem they could not solve. The problem-solving skill came in handy when having to deal with unexpected matters in a house that had been around for more than a century. I have never seen such attention to detail. The carpentry work was so beautiful, and they did a wonderful job keeping the integrity and character of an older home while updating everything with new materials. At the end of each workday, they made an effort to straighten up and clean the work area very well before they left. Paul used project management software which made it so easy for us to message everyone, purchase products, watch the budget, and be kept current with the scheduling. It was so nice to know exactly what would happen and when. We would highly recommend Barbour Construction, Inc. to anyone who needs an ethical, responsive company that does very high-quality work."

"We couldn't be happier with the work that Barbour Construction did on our home! From start to finish, they were professional, reliable, organized, and kept us informed every step of the way. The quality of their work is outstanding, and their attention to detail shows in every corner, of every room. We highly recommend Paul and his team at Barbour Construction to anyone looking for a skilled, trustworthy contractor!"
Katie Harshman
"We are happy to recommend Paul Barbour Construction. Over the years we’ve worked with Paul and his team on two or three significant projects, including two major bathroom remodels, as well as a lot of window and exterior work.
Based on our now fairly extensive experience with his team, Paul’s crew is very easy to deal with. They are very friendly, knowledgeable and consistently work in the best interests of their clients. They deal well with the unexpected, have remained true to their quotes, and regularly have answers to unforeseen problems. They’ve assisted us in design choices, vendor recommendations and finding the best and often most economical ways to solve problems.
In our opinion, they are trustworthy, dedicated to customer satisfaction and diligent. They do what they say they will do. In the end, we’ve been very satisfied with the work that the Barbour team and their various partners (like Ferguson, Z-Stone, Johnny the Tile Guy, and others) have done for us. We are happy to recommend and refer Barbour Construction accordingly. They’re just good people!"

"We hired Barbour Construction for a new home build in New Buffalo, Michigan. Paul and his team were thorough, prompt, communicated well throughout the project, and did a great job suggesting and overseeing subcontractors. Paul and his team made the budgeting and selection process for our home easy. We could not be happier with the finished project, and would highly recommend Barbour Construction for any home renovation or build."
Rebecca Geyer
"We were very satisfied with the renovation project Barbour Construction completed for us in our 1930's home. They completed a renovation of our three upstairs bathrooms and walk in closet. They took great care in all aspects of the renovation process, solved issues that came up efficiently, were very clean and careful throughout the process, and paid close attention to detail. They used high quality sub contractors who gave the same attention to detail and quality work, and their carpentry work was excellent. We were very happy with the high quality materials they used, their workmanship, and appreciated their attention to all details to full completion of the project. We would not hesitate to use them again for future projects."
