"Wow! ... We instantly fell in love with your home after a long, arduous 6 month search! It was almost instantaneous after walking in the front door that we both looked at each other and said - “This is the one!” The recent renovation of the home is truly the most beautiful and well done we have seen! Every design decision you made was perfect, and we are absolutely in love!" - Buyer

"Your home spoke to us for many reasons... the kitchen is spacious, bright, and full of charm. It is the perfect setting to continue to explore our love of cooking." — Buyer

"Although he doesn’t normally do side jobs, Jared was in between projects and he helped (us) with a simple bathroom renovation project... What started out as asking for advice turned into us hiring him as a contractor. He was so knowledgeable and professional, and his crews were great. Detailed bid, constant and thorough communication, quick and helpful responses to all questions and concerns, and attention to detail. We couldn’t be more pleased. He really went the extra mile to make sure we were happy. If only the rest of my house looked as good as this little bathroom does! I consider him a friend now. Thank you!" — Becky Pestana Casares

"I have seen his work. Top quality in construction and design. The owner prides himself on building with integrity."
— Robert H. LeGrand Jr.

"Jared and his Trailway Builders team have been nothing short of fantastic.  They replaced our old 80's wood siding with beautiful new HardiePlank lap siding.  As usual there were unexpected issues (dang Raccoons!) but the bumps in the road were always well communicated and problems all solved.  We've hired them again to build a new raised patio canopy in our yard and so far everything has been very smooth there as well.  We highly recommend Trailway Builders!" - Andrew Norris

When I walked in… I said to myself, “I’m in Real Estate Heaven” — Realtor

"We first fell in love with Trailway Builders' work at a house that we had seen during our house hunt.  So when we found our home and discovered they were taking new clients, we were excited to see how Jared would transform our house.  Spoiler alert, it was beyond anything we could have imagined.  Jared has a great eye and feel for a home's unique space, making our cramped and dark 1950s home feel bright and airy! His attention to detail and function is impeccable.  Jared worked closely with us to get everything "right" and it was a joy working with him!  Trailway Builders was always transparent with us.  We were always on the same page and Jared was always available day or night if we had questions.  Our house is stunning but it doesn't compare to the professionalism, quality, and exceptional level of service Trailway Builders provided.  We are so grateful and cannot speak higher of Trailway Builders.  They helped us create a beautiful home that we will build so may memories in the years to come." — Scott & Jessica Magee

"Jared works hard to produce a top quality product. Beautiful from the top boards to the landscaped gardens."
— Jean Ann LeGrand

"Jared & Kelsey helped us remodel our large, outdated master bathroom, and we couldn’t be more happy with the result. Our bathroom’s design went from ugly and dark to modern and spa-like. Her design will definitely add to the resale value of our house. The crew at Trailway was also wonderful. They finished on time, and it looks amazing. Thank you, Jared and Kelsey!"
— Claire D. East

"Your home is the first that I’ve seen that I can truly see myself enjoying living in... Done with incredibly high quality and aligns exactly with my taste." — Buyer
