Lavallee Construction

TESTIMONIALS

"As an Architect, I always try to match the contractor's personality and craftsmanship with the project and the client. If you have honesty, integrity, a wonderful personality and a high quality project, then Russ Lavallee is the perfect match for you. I have also known Russ for at least thirty years and have never been disappointed."

"Russ remodeled our house a couple of years ago and we found him to be flexible, hardworking, insightful, sensible and responsible. He was a pleasure to work with and very helpful when we encountered unexpected issues. Inevitably when remodeling, things arise that no one expects. When confronted with these problems Russ investigated solutions and presented options in layman’s terms that we could understand. Russ uses quality materials, stands by his work and I would recommend him to anyone looking for a great contractor."

"Russ did a major remodel of our home. Due to a misunderstanding with our architect, the porch turned out to be dark and was not what we were expecting. We sat down with Russ and explained what we really wanted. He suggested that we add 3 skylights and what a difference it made! The sunroom (porch) is now our favorite room in the house. Russ is a professional, does top quality work and follows up on his commitment to his customers."

"When our home was flooded, we hired Russ at the recommendation of a family friend. Later on when it was decided to raise the building, he was the person we wanted to do the work. Even though the house now stands over eight feet higher than it originally did, it is as solid as ever. Russ’ work is high quality and he is thorough."

"As an active Real Estate Broker, I tour a lot of homes and have become a stickler on finish quality and construction. Over the years, I've come to learn that inferior work done today will inevitably cost more in the long run. Unfortunately, in the world of mass production, quality craftsmanship is becoming more and more difficult to find. After 10 years of working with Russ, I know when he puts together an estimate for a project he has balanced quality with price. Not only will the surface work be beautiful to the eye but more importantly, all the craftsmanship behind the scenes will be built with integrity and made to endure a lifetime.

Renovation and restaurants are a lot alike in that the end result of a memorable meal lies in the ingredients and skills of the chef. It’s illusive, it’s subtle and it can mean the difference between success and failure. Likewise, Russ has mastered his craft and not only possesses the experience, skill and passion to do your job right but will always be there if you need him in the future."

"We have worked with Lavallee Construction for over 12 years and wouldn’t think of using anyone else. They’ve built everything for us from decks, offices, a beach house and finally a custom home. We proudly welcome our friends and family into great living spaces that have been thoughtfully designed and constructed to meet our needs.

Home construction can be stressful. Top on our list is to avoid nightmares like those that we hear from friends about their projects. Some think they can avoid potential problems with competitive bids. Bidding is good but you need to find someone who you trust will do the right thing for you, the homeowner.

Well-built things are what we value the most. We expect to live in our home for decades and don’t want shortcuts taken that will be painful in the future. Over the years we have learned that we can count on Russ to build a home that is well constructed with quality materials, is comfortable and will last."

"It’s one thing to find a great contractor but it’s truly a home run to find one that comes with an all-star supporting team of quality subcontractors. Opening your home can be stressful and as a mother, I can say that this is one thing that I’ve never had to worry about with Lavallee Construction. Russ has worked with his electrician, painter and plumber for over 20 years and this speaks volumes about the level of experience and quality craftsmanship that you can expect from his company."
