"We're glad we were able to work with the Reaps on our major home renovation. Their work is solid and we're proud to show off the beautiful carpentry inside and out. Throughout the project Bob and Joy were always available to answer our questions with patience and good humor. Joy's diligence on the budgeting and accounting was extraordinary. The project went so well that in the end, it was sad for our family to see the Reap crew leave!"

"This was the fourth project we have worked on with Reap Construction. In each case we were very satisfied with the work done and overall experience. In this particular project there was a lot of coordination with subcontractors. Joy kept them all on task and schedule and made sure we were happy with the results.

In each instance that we have worked with Bob and Joy and their team, we have found the work to be a high quality, the costs within budgets, the project done on time, and the people very pleasant to work with."

"This spring we were looking for contractor to design and build an addition for our home. We wanted someone who was reliable, easy to work with, and also a contractor who was engaged in the actual build, not just someone who would run the project from afar and send an invoice. We could not be any happier than with our choice of Reap Construction. They have been nothing but professionals, craftsmen, and overall good people.

Joy is consistently timely, and runs an extremely fair project. She has the uncanny ability to see the forest through the trees and was able to keep a complex project on time, on budget, and in control. At all times we felt as though we knew what was going on, what was next, and were never surprised by any "gotchas". She always had smart guidance when we were stuck, and knew when to say " OK" even though our decisions might have been a bit non-standard.

What we liked best about Bob was that he was an active participant in the job, and was always there to give us the correct guidance in what was reality and how it was going to look in the end. To that end, what we envisioned is exactly the way our project came out in the end. One can tell that all of the Subs on the job have the utmost respect for Bob and it shows in their attention to detail as well.

Also, we could not have imagined our project without Ted. His attention to detail and craftsmanship has created a space that is truly unique and stunning. We feel as though all of the structure and detail of our home is of the highest quality, and that is truly custom.

And lastly, the whole Reap crew was always prompt, friendly, and above all professionals in their own rights. We always felt that whatever specific part of the job was being worked on, it was getting done right.

So, in the end, we have a space that we always wanted, and we know it will last forever. We would never hesitate to use Reap Construction again from another addition, to another new home build."

"Bob and Joy Reap, along with their amazing crew, built us our custom home this past year. They worked diligently through the harshest weather conditions, while maintaining quality and craftsmanship in every area. They caught several mistakes in our design, beforehand, which saved us time and money. It was absolutely clear that our satisfaction was the most important thing to them throughout the entire project. Our sincerest gratitude goes out to Reap Construction for making our dream home a reality."

"Susan and I could not be happier with the product of our work with Reap Construction. The final result reflects not only their crew’s considerable skill, but also their very close attention to our own aesthetics and choices. In their multitude of tool boxes, there is not a single cookie cutter."

Communication with the company is excellent. Joy is always at the other end of the phone or email; answers to questions or concerns are practically instantaneous.

Bob, Joy, and their employees are a pleasure to deal with. Their work is outstanding and on budget. I can’t recommend them more highly."

"The Proctor Center is very happy with our new research building. We absolutely needed to be in the new building by the start of the sugaring season. In September Reap Construction agreed to take on our project only after they were sure that they could finish on time and within budget. Bob and the crew were able to make the best of a particularly harsh winter job site and finished on schedule. It is clear that they take their jobs very seriously and are unhappy unless it is done right. Reap Construction's communication during the project was excellent and their timely construction and problem solving abilities made for a very successful season in our new building."

"We have been nothing but impressed with Reap Construction . Owners Bob and Joy are knowledgeable, have a complete understanding of our vision for the project, and our needs. There isn't a week that has gone by in which they haven't either saved us significant savings or have improved upon what we had planned (and no additional cost!). Our project is big, complicated, involves many government and private sector partners -- they handle it with professionalism, and are extremely efficient."

"Reap Construction has worked at both our home and business. All of their budgets, timelines, commitment and quality work have been refreshing and valuable. As well, they are thoughtful and considerate of the disruption and work extremely hard to accommodate the households' needs.

I recommend Reap Construction without reservation.”

The Kitchen Table Bistro has had the pleasure of using Reap Construction on several projects. The Reaps always bring the highest professional level, amazing talent and skill, and complete the given project in a very timely manner. Response to questions or concerns has always been prompt, and always with the feeling that our needs were their main concern. We would highly recommend Reap Construction to anyone and will use them in the future on other projects.
