North Twin Builders is a reputable and professional contractor. We are happy to have found them and plan to use them for all future remodeling needs. They came to our rescue and fixed our roof when another "contractor" didn't do the job. We hope to use them soon to expand and remodel our home. They do excellent work and at a fair price. Highly recommend them!

We used John V and North Twin Builders for a comprehensive Kitchen remodeling project and are very pleased with the quality of the finished product. We selected NTB after considering others due to their attention to detail, quality reputation and cost saving suggestions. The work was cost effective and completed on schedule. The NTB crew and subcontractors were always punctual and very accommodating. From painting to carpentry all aspects were completed with quality workmanship. We would not hesitate to recommend John and North Twin Builders. Wayne and Barbara Bell

The floor joists and sub-floors of our 1964 cottage were rotting. We were faced with either a tear down, sale or remodel. We favored the location and certain aspects of our cottage. North Twin guided us through an extensive restoration, remodel and expansion. The experience was great and we could not be happier.

When we decided to renovate our fifty - year old cottage, we chose North Twin Builders and that was the best decision that we could have made. John and his staff were outstanding in helping us with the planning, making many suggestions about what we could and couldn't do, and giving us cost estimates. They broke the project down into phases, and actually were able to do the roofing, siding, and a porch addition in the Winter, which was more convenient for us.
We were concerned about doing a project long distance, but John and his crew were excellent in providing progress updates, pictures, and suggestions for improvements. We could not be happier with the end result.
