Honest hard working guys. Completed everything ahead of schedule and in a competitive cost.
Would recommend to others and wouldn't hesitate to use them again as we are having them build us a new deck this summer.

Greg and Justin varnes are complete crooks. We hired them to work on our house while we got ready for our first child. Not only did they do horrible HORRIBLE work throughout our house but the very day we had our baby they took off with all our money and we never heard from them again. We obviously couldn't bring our newborn home to our demolished house so while me and the baby stayed with our parents my husband had to hire a new contractor and pay him DOUBLE to finish the house.
Greg an Justin were not professional. Not reliable. Not trustworthy. DO NOT HIRE THESE PEOPLE!!!!!
They claim to have a ton if experience but if u saw how our house looked ud laugh. They did a horrific drywall job, taping, mudding, sanding was all done VERY POORLY. There tile work was uneven and I stub my toe on the higher tiles every day.
They also break ur stuff (our stove) without even a sorry or a replacement. They made ME, a 7 month pregnant girl to clean up after them. They showed up between 9-11 in the morning, They took off for lunch for hours our of the day and then left for the day between 3-5. DO NOT HIRE! CROOKS!!!!!! I cannot stress this enough.
This was a job we should have never taken on.
It was part of a RAPP program scam on the part of the homeowner who did not list her "husband" on title so they could still qualify for the government payouts.
There was no formal contract in place, changes to the scope of work were continuous, payouts were minimal to cover the costs of materials and we had to deal with the inspectors on their behalf.
Once we realized we were not able to continue we were not allowed access to any of our tools and thus were faced with a huge loss financially.
We have learned to never take on a project without proper paperwork in place.

GJ Varnes Construction & Renovation were fabulous to hire and we couldn't be more pleased with the work performed for us. Greg and his son Justin were friendly, very knowledgeable and ensured complete satisfaction prior to concluding their business with us!
I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking to hire a contractor to perform any new construction or renovation project.
