TESTIMONIALS & reviews
for read bros construction
“We renovated a 40 year old apartment, including 2 baths, laundry, expanding closets and storage, installing steam shower, raising door frames and lowering and wiring ceilings. They were on time & on budget, while managing many subcontractors. Two years later they designed and renovated our 40 year old kitchen. They were fast, efficient & very thorough, as usual. They are extremely conscientious and tidy.”

What People Are Saying
“Our house needed all kinds of work. We had tried two guys and then fired them for simply not getting jobs done properly, on time
and on budget. Took two months to figure it out. Then a painter suggested we contact the Read Bros, Nate and Noah. So we did and then met with them... and the whatever problems there may have been went away. And they went away as promised: on time and on budget!
— Aileen & David
“We hired the Read Bros to complete renovations in our suite and were absolutely satisfied with the workmanship. The experience was a breath of fresh air. They were on time, polite, on budget and did a great job! We would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone planning a renovation.”
— john & Sherri
“I would definitely recommend and/or hire Read Bros again for a future project because the guys delivered on their promises on time and on budget, kept in regular communications with us throughout the process, completed the project professionally and to the building code requirements, and did an excellent job cleaning up after themselves when they were finished.”
— Starr
“The primary objectives of our project were to replace two windows and install a third window in our basement. We needed the windows and frames to match (as best as possible) the current 1931 style of the house and other windows. We also wanted to explore options for replacing entry doors, of which the Read Bros provided us with some excellent suggestions and budget ranges for consideration.”
— Starr
“Noah and Nathan were on the same page about what we wanted to have done, and they also added their own expertise to provide recommendations on how the construction work and design could work best.
I would absolutely recommend the Read Bros for a future project, and we would definitely ask them to come back to do more work on our classic 1930's house again if needed. They were both very professional, knowledgeable and courteous, very clean and their work was non-disruptive to a busy household with small children and pets. We had a great experience with this team!”
— Ruth
“They're gentlemen. They're professionals. They take pride in what they do and they bring a whole lot of experience to every single job. If that isn't enough, they enjoy what they do. And we rested easy every day they were on the job!”
— Aileen & David
During the project, the Read Brothers’ communication with us was excellent - we always knew what the next week would look like. Their relationship with their sub-trades is superb and all who worked on our basement were very good and reliable. We ran into some structural issues along the way, and Noah and Nate were able to address all issues with creativity.
Their workmanship is outstanding.

A Read Bros Experience
We’ve used the Read Brothers for a few major renovations and we have been incredibly pleased with the results. In 2019 our roof deck and sunroom were leaking water to the structure below, and we needed to tear down the sunroom. From that starting point we decided to replace the sunroom as a deck to create a large outdoor deck and patio area along with a new stairwell into the backyard and revitalize our carport area. The brothers were quick and efficient, communicated the options for decisions and got our consent before moving forward. They were forward-thinking and able to coordinate the subtrades so the project could smoothly progress.
This year we are expecting our first child, so we thought we would either move or renovate our space so it was more comfortable and our family could grow into the space. Luckily the Read Brothers were available, confident the project could get completed before the baby arrived, and were enthusiastic about how the project would transform the space.
The renovation was extensive, and involved gutting the main level of the house, knocking down walls and a chimney, putting in a new kitchen, new insulation, windows, drywall, flooring, electrical/lighting, updating the heat system, plumbing, etc. Again they were consistently professional and had an eye for quality craftsmanship and detail.
They were able to adapt to delays from suppliers due to COVID-19, and coordinate the schedules of many subtrades. Whenever we found any issues they were quick to come up with a solution and make it work. The finished project looks fantastic and we are so happy with how the renovation has made our house so much more functional and comfortable. If we ever have a project that needs done in the future, we will definitely use the Read Brothers!
