Custom Build Home Professionals in Chatham, NY

“We hired Tony and crew to design and execute a Post and Beam front porch using our own cherry harvested from our property. Tony chose the trees, harvested them , planed the beams , and designed and erected the most beautiful, elegant front entry we've ever seen or could have imagined. It has a simplicity that makes the most of the wood and complements the design of the house. His enthusiasm and craftmanship with the project was unparalleled in our experience.”

“Thanks to Flatbrook, I LOVE my kitchen again. They transformed a small, uninteresting space into an modern, beautiful and ergonomically designed space that has become the central focus of the house. They were respectful of my time line and my budget and I highly recommend them.”

“Jock and his team have now done two big renovation jobs at our house outside Chatham and we are already talking about a third. I wouldn't think of hiring a different builder. The budgeting and billing process is fair and transparent with no rude surprises, the workmanship is flawless, the workmen are great to have around and both jobs have gotten done in exactly the time frame promised. (Having done other jobs with other contractors in other places, believe me, these are words I never thought I would say about any contractor!) When unexpected conditions come up as they always do in renovations of old houses Jock is instantly on the spot to address them. Andrew, Jock's design partner, is gifted and tireless. Though I am now a screenwriter and director I was previously an architect, which makes me not the easiest design client, and both Andrew and Jock have handled my hyper-involved madness with grace and calm. The finished product on both jobs has the glow of work done meticulously and with a deep commitment to getting it exactly right. I give Claverack Builders my highest recommendation.”

“I used Daniel Riemer to give me an estimate on a property I am in the process of purchasing. So far he has been very professional and his price is very reasonable. He also has responded swiftly to any questions or concerns I’ve had.”

“Joe and his team were awesome to work with our gut renovation. Their design/build process helped up navigate our dreams, our budget, and the building's technical constraints. Every sub-contractor and expert they connected us with has been as high-quality as well. They also managed to source some great materials for us.”

“Built By Design remodeled my kitchen in 2012. I was extremely happy with their professionalism, attention to detail, and ability to get the project done within budget and on time. I LOVE my kitchen! I would recommend this company without reservation.”
