From Our Family to Yours
Your Home is so much more than a project to us. The kitchen is the setting of countless meals with family and loved ones, and sharing moments together with a late-night cup of hot cocoa. The new bedroom is where the newest member of your family will grow and learn. The newly developed basement is where you snuggle up and make movie night memories, and so much more. At Melanson Homes, whatever the project, we consider your family in every detail.
Our Business is Built on Trust
Here’s a few of the testimonials our customers have shared with us.
Stayed On Budget
Jeff (Managing Director) was a pleasure to work with – stayed on budget and timeline, always professional and accommodating our changes and ideas. He hired good subtrades and held them accountable for the high standard he set for his company.
Duna & Dale
Delivered On Time
We engaged Melanson Homes to finish our basement after evaluating three bids. While Melanson’s bid was not the cheapest, it was transparent and gave us a confidence that we would not see any hidden costs or surprises and thus keep our costs in control…Above all, the project was delivered on time and within budget!
Dhanajay
Helpful & Genuine
“…I could instantly see that Jeff (Managing Director) understood how hiring a contractor is just as much about customer service as it is work. Jeff was helpful, and genuine, most surprisingly he gave me a quote and while I expected it to be 15% higher than the quote, he stuck to every dime!
