The addition of a conforming bedroom and full bath will make the house so much more liveable! The team was courteous, professional and super friendly, not to mention talented. So happy we chose Li’l Brother for our construction needs!!

Lil’ Brother arrived on time, were polite and clean, and came in under their bid. We had them look at 2 different possible projects for us, one which they tackled, and one which they were honest and advised us they couldn’t do. I appreciate it when a person/company knows their expertise and limits and doesn’t tackle a project just to make money. I was very pleased all the way around. Great job guys, we will definitely use you again!
