WHO WE ARE

Our remodeling project of 3100 square foot house is completed and we are grateful for working with a good construction team of Changras and Frey in the past 18 months. We are happy and pleased with the outcome of the project. John Changras also built 4 beautiful pieces of wood furniture for our house too. The team is continuing to do a few more projects for our yard.

It's rare to come across contractors like John & Walt. They care so deeply about their work, and it shows in the final product. They are meticulous, extremely knowledgeable, and always fair. I had a very large full-home remodel that lasted 2 years, and they were always on top of it. They have great communication, and they're excellent project managers. They also have a well-curated team of sub-contractors that they hold to a very high standard. I even ended up asking them to oversee my landscaping because they were so good. I have been through many remodels before, and I never ended up being friendly with the contractors afterward. I think because John & Walt not only are perfectionists, b...

Changras and Frey did an extensive remodel for us, moving the kitchen from one side of the house to the other, opening up the floorplan, installing a fireplace, doors, windows and extensive plumbing work. The project took about 6 months. C&F were great to work with. The project was on time, they were dependable in terms of meeting their time/work/business commitments. The quality of work was excellent and their subcontractors were first-rate. We continue to stay in touch with C&F as they do other projects in our area, and have provided references to several other potential clients. We would not hesitate to recommend them, and we would use them again if we had another project.

We interviewed 4 contractors all referred to us by friends with high marks. John Changras and Walter Frey were the only ones where we knew more than one friend who hired them twice. They also were the only ones to actually have all of their various subs come out and give their own actual estimates for each component before they gave us their final bid. This is unheard of in my experience, and represented their commitment to do the job right and they spent more time and energy to get the bid than others. It also resulted in the costs staying true to their bid throughout with no surprises or unreasonable delays at all. Usually both John and Walt were on site early every morning, and at mi...

My husband and I highly recommend Changras and Frey for any construction projects you may have. They do and excellent job and are honest and reliable. Walt Frey listens closely as you plan your project and makes sure you are happy with the results. They clean up at the end of the day, which I loved as we were living in our home during out remodel. They billed as expected and there were no surprises at the end of the project. Our project has been completed for awhile, and I can still call Walt if there are any problems that arise in my house. Because we used Changras and Frey, we actually enjoyed the whole remodel process.

John Changras was referred to us by friends, and we were not disappointed in his professionalism and the quality of his work. He managed an addition and the complete remodel of our house, for which we could not be more pleased with the results. His attention to detail and the pride he takes in his work translated into amazing results. Despite a tremendous amount of rain and unforeseen issues with the existing structure he managed to stay within the deadlines, working seamlessly with Planning and the Building Department. He and Walt make a great team, and we would not hesitate to recommend them.

We couldn’t be happier that we chose Changras & Frey Construction for our home renovation. John & Walt listened to us every step of the way; both before and during the construction process. We have recommended them to all of our friends and have 100% faith in their skills, professionalism, and attention-to-detail. We love our newly improved home and will look to Changras & Frey Construction for any of our future building needs. We endorse them without hesitation.

We had intentions of remodeling our kitchen, bathroom, and family room for way too long...just knowing all the inconveniences and uncertainty is enough to make anyone hesitate. We talked and interviewed many people along the way; but it never quite felt right. Then we spoke with Changras and Frey and things fell into place and it just felt right. Through all phases of the job we were in capable hands. They listened to our wants and needs, always provided good honest input, and executed with professionalism and quality work. As the saying goes..."Birds of a feather flock together." The same holds true with the people who work with and for them...from flooring, plumbing, electrical and painting...all were of the same quality.
This anecdote says it all: There was a very small issue with a pocket door. After the job was complete, they were not happy with it. It required a small part to be ordered. He repeatedly contacted us to install! The usual scenario is the hardship in trying to get a hold of a long-gone contractor. Not the case here! They repeatedly contacted us to schedule a mutually acceptable time for us during a demanding time for them. Who has such good post remodel stories? Who is luckier than us? We can wholeheartedly recommend Changras and Frey for a rewarding, positive experience. We are truly enjoying our new surroundings!
