Contractor and Custom Home Builder

"One of the luckiest moments in our lives was when we found Jim Adler to build our house. Having been through both new construction and renovations we were wary at best when it came time to find someone to build our new home. From the beginning Jim was courteous and professional and we began to relax when it became apparent that he knew what he was doing. Then it just got better and better. Jim worked with us to fine tune the plans and once construction began (on time) he stayed with the project until it was finished. His custom work is extraordinary with a keen sense of detail. We trusted him completely with every aspect of the building process and of the many times we asked his opinion we always went with his suggestions. He would do things the electrician and plumber said couldn’t be done. Jim went the extra mile many times for us. ... We are so thankful that we were lucky enough to find him to build our home."
