Report
For 40+ years we have envisioned giving a 1900s cherry mantelpiece (purchased when we were graduate students) a permanent home. In 2018, we began our search for a renovation team that would provide consultation on incorporating our antique architectural element into a newly envisioned living room wall. David Norbut, CEO, was approachable and encouraged us with his ability to listen to our vision for the room and his suggestions to expand our options, not losing sight of our original plan.

We couldnt be happier working with Norbut Renovations. They turned our 1900s farmhouse into our dream home. The process was easy and smooth.
Dave made a point to be in constant communication throughout the renovation. This included meetings on site to discuss progress, phone calls, and emails. Dave got back to us within a 30 min. every single time contacted, including on a holiday weekend. You can see the passion Dave has for what he does and the pride he takes in his company. His advice was very meaningful and honest. Norbut stayed within our budget, timeframe, and delivered only quality

We had an excellent experience with Norbut Renovations. We used Dave Norbut to renovate the kitchen and main floor of our home. Dave is very detailed oriented and an excellent communicator. Everything was done on time and in budget. He really took the time to make sure everything was done to our satisfaction. The quality of the work by his team is exceptional and we were very happy with the finished renovation. Everyone we worked with at Norbut Renovations was outstanding. Dave has a keen eye for design and had many ideas to make our home functional and beautiful. We highly recommend Norbut Renovations

We hired Dave as the contractor to complete a design project previously proposed by another designer. Daves team took that design and came up with a plan that was way more functional! This project involved a roof tear-off raising our master bedroom walls and ceiling to give us an on-suite master bath and walk in closet all while we (a family of five and a dog) were living in the house through the construction. We could not have had a better experience! Dave has a great team that clearly cares about what they do. They are a hard-working, friendly crew that does quality work. The project was

We used Norbut now for two renovations- the main floor of our home, and then about 1.5 years later for our basement. We have been impressed by not only the quality of the work, but the personal attention and follow through we receive from Dave and his team. They are quick to respond to any concerns or questions that come up, and are detailed in finishing projects to complete customer satisfaction. We will use them again in the future as we continue to work on our home renovations!
