After interviewing several companies, we selected S.J. Janis because of the careful listening, the initial process of consult and conceptual design, and the people we interacted with, led by Casey. Throughout each phase of design, project prep, demo, and build, we appreciated the unified approach of everyone involved with the project offsite and onsite. Every subcontractor, including referrals for appliances, fixtures and fireplace was excellent to work with. We truly valued and enjoyed working with each Janis staff member, with a clear understanding of their roles, and by the leadership of our

As an interior designer, I had the pleasure of partnering with SJ Janis on a renovation for my client. This renovation included a 2 room addition among other things. It was imperative that the exterior of the addition blend seamlessly with the original portion of the home - and SJ Janis nailed it.
Their team is able to handle everything from architectural drawings to project management, and they keep their clients informed and involved throughout the project.
If you want quality work with an ethical contracting firm, I would recommend SJ Janis and their team.

We just finished an addition with SJ Janis and we have nothing but great things to say. Everyone was very professional, very nice and easy to work with. I work out of my home and this was an additional living room space, so I was a little worried about how this was going to go, but I never had any issues. All of the contractors were great and they always cleaned up before they left. Our PM, Josh, was awesome. I'm a business owner and mom so I am busy and would sometimes I would ask him questions after hours just so I didn't forget and he always got back to me soon after I texted him, which I really

Two years ago I hired this company to enclose my outdoor swimming pool to a indoor pool. At first everything was fine but then when winter came mold began to form on the walls in the pool room. Eventually I learned that the walls were not insulated right. No real insulation was installed just foam which was not done right either. Now two years later the job is still not completed correctly. Do not hire this company, they do not know what they are doing and are full lots of excuses and delays. They are the worst on fooling up and continue to do nothing to finish my project. Horrible company do not

SJ Janis was our primary contractor and designer for a large kitchen remodel that included taking down a load bearing wall and retorting plumbing, hvac and electrical systems to live inside beautiful columns in our island. They brought to the table extensive engineering experience, design know how and a high level of custom craftsmanship. They were the best contractor we've ever worked with and the entire project went very smoothly. I would recommend them to anyone.

S J Janis Company has performed three different remodeling projects on our home over the last 10 years. Each one was professionally and timely.
We have a Cape Cod home and they added an addition above the first floor master bedroom and remodeled our upstairs bathroom. The second renovation was a complete remodeling of our kitchen, breakfast room and living room. The last renovation project was the complete demolition and remodel of our master bathroom and closet space.
Janis made sure to keep the area under construction as clean as possible and put up barriers so the areas that were not being

We have completed two major projects with S. J. Janis. We were so happy with them during the first project that we never even considered another company when we decided to remodel our kitchen. We've all heard our share of remodel nightmare stories so were hesitant to even begin our first project. The staff at S. J. Janis was a delight to work with. From initial plans right through to completion every detail was taken into consideration, discussed, checked and rechecked so there would be no major problems or issues. Materials were suggested by Joe based on our style preferences as well as his experience

I have had several positive experiences with S.J. Janis over a period of approximately 12 years. The first project they completed was finishing our basement. This project was completed during the promised time frame and our family has had many years of enjoyment using the basement, complete with full bathroom. Our second project was a master bath remodel. They went beyond my expectations with the design, the respect of our home (always cleaning up at the end of the day) and the finished project. Our last and most recent project was the replacement of windows in four rooms in our home. I could have
