When my husband and I decided to tear down our 60 year old beach cottage and rebuild a new home on the existing lot we knew that deciding on a builder was going to be a very important component in the process. We "nailed" it with Jeremy Bishop of Sterling Custom Construction! Jeremy built a beautiful, top quality, well constructed home that we are extremely happy with!
He steered us in the right direction with every decision from top to bottom. It's hard to believe we have been in our house over 6 years now, and still any time I have had a question or needed something Jeremy has responded right away. He's just a wonderful person to work with and someone you can trust without a doubt. He truly cares about doing a good job for his clients and I highly recommend him as a builder! Janie and Ken Budd

We extensively interviewed 4 builders for our very complicated, architect designed, major remodel. Jeremy was the one who always had the best ideas and solutions to problems during the bidding process and was fairly priced, so we chose Sterling.
The project involved pushing the entire back wall of the house out by 10 feet on all 3 floors, replacing most of the roof, adding 2 new bedrooms, removing 3 pilings in the great room and replacing them with a 40 foot steel beam. The work took about 9 months. This was very complicated and arduous work and the end result is nothing short of spectacular. Sterling has architectural as well as building expertise and so was able to make suggestions, even for revisions of the architect's plan, that dramatically improved the livability of the dwelling. Sterling also faithfully kept after the punch list after completion, and after final payment, until all items were resolved properly. I can't imagine a better builder or choice for our project. Being at the project every week to observe the work I can also say Jeremy and his crews were professional, very pleasant and accommodating to work with. This is our 6th house, several with major remodels, and it just doesn't get any better. If you would like a personal reference I am happy to provide one through Sterling.

The work went very well--we were impressed by each member of the remodeling team. We did have the painter repaint the room again, but that was because the paint color we had chosen didn't coordinate as well with the glass tile than we thought it would (the painter was very good about the switch, by the way). The work itself spanned roughly four weeks due to some delays resulting from some illnesses among the workers or from shipment schedules. All in all, we thought that the work time was reasonable. Jeremy was accessible throughout the remodel and did some of the final touches himself.
