Recognized Excellence

Recognized Excellence - Stephanie has a great eye for design details, and was able to quickly make recommendations that made our vision a reality. Will's concise input regarding big-picture reconstruction matters was invaluable.

Bellweather did a complete gut and renovation of our kitchen and we would highly recommend them to anyone considering a similar project. Designer Stephanie was fantastic- really hearing what was most important to us and ensuring those things were incorporated into the final design. The project team of Ryan, Rick and Bryanna were super easy to work with, professional, and all- around a great and friendly team. The team spent a significant amount of time prepping adjoining areas to avoid damage, worked EXTREMELY hard to keep dust to an absolute minimum and kept the outside/ public area clean and free of debris. We also really appreciated our weekly face to face meetings with Rick where we could discuss what had been accomplished, what to expect in the upcoming week and work through any project plan issues. Finally, we absolutely love our new kitchen and couldn't be happier with the results. Thank you Will, Stephanie, Rick, Ryan, Bryanna and the rest of the Bellweather team for the care and attention you gave to our home- and to us. We highly recommend Bellweather!

Bellweather was extremely professional. We are thrilled with the finished product. Bellweather managed the project very well - checking on the job site multiple times a day and keeping us up to date on everything we needed to know.

Areas Of Satisfaction

Areas Of Satisfaction - They were very communicative, and always appraised us of what was going on. They were also available, even at odd hours, to discuss problems or emergencies.

Additional Comments

Additional Comments - We used Bellweather to do a row house reno -- we had an outside architect draw up plans, but they also suggested a variety of design choices. We need a good deal of structural diagnosis, and their engineer was fantastic! They were so professional and communicative, and they handled setbacks or unexpected issues quickly and reasonably. Plus, their attention to detail was beyond amazing!

Areas Of Satisfaction

Areas Of Satisfaction - The best part of working with Bellweather is they solve problems before they become problems and you feel very confident in their expertise. It was truly stress-free situation.

Employees & Subcontractors

Employees & Subcontractors - Everyone was very friendly, courteous, and skilled. I felt like we were in good hands and trusted they were going to good job. And they did not disappoint!

Recognized Excellence

Recognized Excellence - Joey managed our project beautifully. I don’t think we could have asked for anyone who was more pleasant and competent to work with. He did an excellent job of communicating and coordinating everything. He handled issues well. He kept us informed about everything that was happening along the way. We felt like we were in good hands. Stephanie did an amazing job with our kitchen design and we’d like to give a huge shout out to her!

We had worked with Bellweather when they remodeled our deck, so when we decided to replace all of our bathrooms there was no question who we would turn to. The folks there really know what they are doing and we knew we would be in good hands. They are professional in every sense of the word and especially good at communication. Special kudos to Rick and Brianna.

Communication

Communication - They could not be more responsive to any requests and were always proactive in communicating with us.

Additional Comments

Additional Comments - This was a very large addition and remodel and Bellweather worked very hard to keep us informed and keep the timeline going as planned. We ran into unexpected costs and issues, but overall always trusted that things would get resolved, and they did. From what we had heard about contractors in the Philadelphia area we were nervous about the process and they exceeded our expectations. One small thing I would recommend is the design team touching base occasionally as construction is underway ( maybe a once a month meeting with designer and project manager and client during a walk through or something like that).

Bellweather knows their stuff. Stephanie and Will were amazing during the design stage of our project. We were new to the design-build process and Will provided invaluable insight so we knew what to expect, and helped us to prioritize the project to work within our budget. Stephanie's vision, creativity, strategic thinking, and troubleshooting helped us to reconfigure our space to better suit our family's needs. They had to overcome some challenges with the space and did so without needing to sacrifice style or function. They are both brilliant, honest, and fun. We couldn't be happier to soon move into a home that far exceeds our expectations.

The construction part was excellent!! We had some issues with the design team regarding the windows.

Areas Of Satisfaction

Areas Of Satisfaction - In particular, the professionalism, responsiveness, and great people when we got to the build stage. Rick and Brianna were amazing and we felt so comfortable having them in our home at any point. We appreciated them building a relationship with Zachary so that having the "worker men" over felt like a normal part of our lives. And he LOVES his new room and tells everyone that the worker men made it for him.

Recognized Excellence

Recognized Excellence - Thanks Rick and Brianna for being amazing people! We will miss you!

Additional Comments

Additional Comments - We would tell people, if you want the highest quality work and support from start to finish, with minimal worry on your end, hire Bellweather. It's worth it for the peace of mind that comes with having an established group that knows the neighborhood, these historic houses, and the best subcontractors around. Thanks again!

There is no other firm we could have imagined using for our project. Every team member had a strong design sensibility and a skill for looking at the project's big picture as well as examining and solving small details. They worked well together, and worked hard behind the scenes to ensure that design and construction proceeded smoothly. We would recommend them to any of our friends and neighbors.

Areas Of Satisfaction

Areas Of Satisfaction - The project required not only a superficial renovation of our space but a structural remodeling of fundamental components of the house. Bellweather was up to the challenge. They were great communicators and were also willing to have conversations about the progression of the work rather than dictate it.

Additional Comments

Additional Comments - Thank you all so much. We love the third floor so much and can't thank you enough for all your help and support over these past few months.

This was our second project with Bellwether, and we've been extremely happy with both the finished work and the overall experience. They were well-organized, friendly to work with, and very attentive to details. We will definitely choose them again in the future.

Very professional team - high quality work!

Bellweather Construction exceeded all expectations. When challenges arose, they immediately came up with solutions that were effective (and, in some cases, better than the original plan!). They communicated every step of the way and conducted every aspect of the project, from design to final punch list, in a professional, timely, and efficient way. Our house has been transformed and we love our space now! I have already recommended them to several people.

Additional Comments

Additional Comments - I heard so many horror stories about renovations that I was afraid to get started on this one, but I have been absolutely delighted with this process and am excited to see how things progress! THANK YOU BELLWEATHER!

Working with Bellweather has been nothing short of an excellent experience. Our project was on a very tight budget and timeline, but Bellweather worked with us every step of the way and executed exactly what they said they would. My wife and I are extremely happy with the results so far and would not hesitate to work with them again in the future.

Bellweather worked closely with us to design the home that we envisioned, and it was a great experience from start to finish.

Bellweather was great. I couldn't have asked for anything better and the work is beautiful. I would highly recommend them to anyone that is doing carpentry in their home!

Great team and very trustworthy! They delivered on all promises!

Areas Of Satisfaction

Areas Of Satisfaction - The trustworthiness and responsiveness of the team were the best parts of our experience.

We had a great experience working with Bellweather. The project was completed on-time despite some pretty standard hitches here and there. Whenever we had a concern, they were immediately responsive and always took care of the issue promptly. We also appreciated the design guidance, and are very satisfied with how our kitchen turned out.

The folks at Bellweather were professional, on time, courteous and easy to work with. They communicated as things came up and resolved issues in a timely manner. I would recommend the company and would gladly use them again if needed. Thank you Bellweather team!

The folks at Bellweather are knowledgeable and a joy to work with. They helped us guide us on seemingly infinite decisions, and were always working to make sure our choices serve us well.

Hire them and look no more! We thought about having work done in our home for years but were too afraid of trusting someone with the scope of work. It included: adding a bathroom in a space were plumbing didn't exist, replacing and changing the layout of our main staircase while altering the front door to our home, plus hardwood floors throughout.We found Bellweather on Houzz and we are sure glad we did!Will came to our home and took the time to walk around our house with us while we discussed our plans. He took his time to survey the space, digest our ideas, and chimed in every so often when he needed to be honest about feasibility and/or if he had any other comments. He explained their entire Design-Build process in the beginning to ensure we understood each aspect of the process. This has made our part in this entire experience less stressful by having small goals and deadlines to keep things moving. Every member of the Bellweather team we have dealt with has been responsive, knowledgeable, open-minded, professional yet friendly.
