About Us

"A few years back, my wife advised me that she was weary of cleaning snow and ice from her auto before going to work. This request began my association with Black Dog builders. We asked for a garage to be connected to our farmer's porch via a breezeway. Due to code issues, in order to access our propane tanks, the area had to remain open, and the difference in elevations had to be accounted for. Additionally, the emergency generator panel had to be installed next to the new main switch in the garage. We worked with John Nicholson on the design, and were very happy, with photos of the design and final work appearing below.

Needless to say, we are extremely happy with the superb materials and the workmanship. Oh, yes, my wife remains very, very happy. And, of course, she uses the parking spot closest to the house. I’d have it no other way!"

"I am writing to highly recommend the services of Blackdog Design/Build/Remodeling. As a satisfied customer, I had the opportunity to work with them on our house addition in 2025, designed for single-floor living. Initially, we considered purchasing a new home, but with the current housing market costs being so high, we found that the cost of an addition was more reasonable—and it came without the headaches of moving.

Choosing Blackdog for this project turned out to be one of the best decisions we made. From the very first meeting with our design consultant, Eli, and our project manager, Jason, Blackdog demonstrated exceptional technical expertise and outstanding project management skills. They guided us through every step of the process, ensuring we felt informed and supported throughout. They consistently met all deadlines and, to our pleasant surprise, even managed to keep the project ahead of schedule. The team delivered within the agreed-upon budget while maintaining a high standard of quality in every detail. Beyond their technical capabilities, their communication skills stood out. They provided clear, professional updates daily, keeping us informed of progress and promptly addressing any concerns we raised. I have no reservations in offering Blackdog my highest recommendation for any future projects. Their professionalism, expertise, and dedication make them an invaluable asset to anyone planning a home project."

"Blackdog is a top-notch outfit... we had a major renovation at our home. We had never done any work of this magnitude, but from design to renovation never felt uncomfortable or out of touch with where things stood. We felt like we had full control through the whole process, and when things did come up (as they do in any renovation), we were given our options in a transparent way. I would definitely recommend them."

"Blackdog renovated our entire first floor, including kitchen, powder room, and entryway. They did a great job, are very responsive, and were very satisfied. Would recommend them."

"Blackdog just completed a complete remodel of our master bathroom, including expansion into an adjacent closet. We were extremely pleased with the entire process, including the numerous hours that Melissa spent with us on the optimal layout and design. She carefully listened to all our wishes while providing additional creative ideas and alternatives, and helped us in picking out matching tiles, flooring, etc. There are so many options that it can be overwhelming, but Melissa streamlined it all into a manageable process.
