Multiple Projects (2/2024)
"We have worked closely with Kevin’s team at PMB for almost 10 years. PMB has done everything from routine house maintenance through full house remodelling and several new build projects. We’ve also used PMB for exterior driveways, hard landscaping and generator installations. We can’t speak highly enough of Kevin and the whole team at PMB, including the subcontractors that they deploy and manage. Their work is high quality and their whole approach is client focussed. They really partnered with us closely on each of our projects. They are transparent and honest on the money side and also thoughtful about delivering value for money. We have found them to be extremely responsive and reliable. They are realistic about time frames and they get on and get things done. Highly highly recommended."
"We have been working with Kevin and his team on an extensive renovation of our home. We were told that there are very few contractors in the area who would be up to the task of dealing with such a large project but that Prospect Mountain Builders would be ideal for our needs. This indeed proved to be the case. Kevin was very organized in how he approached our multiple projects including a complete kitchen renovation, multiple bathroom renovations, installation of French doors and windows, and a fairly complicated deck repair to name a few. He scheduled excellent, highly competent subcontractors to do the necessary electrical work, tile work, millwork, floor refinishing, etc. When I chose a deck tile that he had never worked with before, he found someone to install it who did a beautiful job. Whenever a problem arose, Kevin and his team were quick to correct the issue. We are grateful to Kevin for keeping us on schedule with the tasks we needed to complete so he could finish the renovations. He has still been on hand and as pleasant and accommodating as always as we complete the final touches. We would highly recommend Kevin and his team for any and all home renovations."
Attic addition
"We can unequivocally recommend working with Kevin Main and Prospect Mountain Builders. Kevin, his crew and his subcontractors were all fantastic to work with. To a man, they were always on-time, highly communicative, and most importantly, on budget. Our project involved the addition of living quarters to an unfinished attic space above our existing bedrooms. Kevin said the project would take 3 months and sure enough, they finished in 3 months on the spot. We lived in the house during a part of the construction and his crew and subcontractors went out of their way to minimize any disturbances to our family while the construction proceeded. Kevin and his team were also left a fair amount of judgment in matching the design of the attic to the rest of the house which they did with great success - not something most people would leave to their GC. We couldn't be happier with the outcome. Their instincts on design challenges were always correct and thoughtfully implemented. Finally, Kevin's stable of subcontractors are second to none: highly skilled, easy to communicate with and all performed exceptional work.. We're looking forward to working with Kevin and his team again on our future projects."
"We worked with Kevin Main/Prospect Mountain Builders on a kitchen renovation project and could not be happier with the experience. Kevin and his team are all highly skilled, and are also polite, reliable and very professional in all ways. The same applies to the sub-contractors he works with. Everyone put so much care into every aspect of the project. Kevin is extremely organized and made everything run smoothly and flawlessly. He also was able to pivot easily, and graciously, when we were faced with unexpected delays from an outside supplier. In addition to all, he is extremely easy to communicate with, answering texts promptly and coordinating everything beautifully. Absolutely the best experience we have had with construction and renovations of any kind."
"Our project was to remove an existing old barn and rebuild a barn style two car garage. Kevin was able to design and draw a plan that fit proportionately alongside our historic home that accommodated our storage needs. His knowledge of town regulations and over 30 years’ experience along with his bountiful enthusiasm made this project simple and painless. Kevin is a man of integrity that put us at ease. He along with his crew and subcontractors paid attention to detail throughout our build. Subcontractors were reliable with a strong work ethic and were very safety conscious. Kevin kept us up to date on what was planned and supplies were always available despite the pandemic. Neighbors walking by daily complimented us on the quality and efficiency of Prospect Mountain Builders. It was a pleasure working with Kevin, his crew and subcontractors"
"We hired Prospect Mountain Builders to complete a long overdue barn renovation and couldn’t be more pleased with the finished product. Kevin worked hard to prevent any project delays. When he saw that we were struggling to make a decision, he not only stayed on top of us, but also offered his assistance so that we wouldn’t be the cause of any disruptions. Any problems that arose were presented with solutions and addressed quickly. Kevin and his crew were dependable and reliable. They were on site every day, including most weekends, and were always mindful and respectful of our privacy. In addition, Kevin is incredible responsive – he answered every text/phone call promptly and he remained available until the project was complete and we were satisfied. Prospect Mountain Builders does beautiful work and we would happily both recommend, and use them again, for any future projects."
"Thank-you for the excellent work performed by you and the entire PMB team on our kitchen renovation. It’s said that renovations are more challenging than new construction. Our project was no exception, including replacing nearly 30 feet of exterior wall with a free-standing steel beam to support the second floor and many other technical challenges.
From the start to finish, the PMB crew was professional, courteous, clean and clearly committed to completing our project without delay. The contractors selected by PMB for the tile installation, masonry, flooring, plumbing, electrical/lighting, insulation, taping and painting were all exceptional and well-coordinated with installation of cabinetry, appliances and countertops. We especially appreciated that PMB worked with us on challenging design aspects, including repurposing a large wooden beam from the original kitchen for our fireplace mantle. We could not be happier with our new kitchen! "
"I recommend the work of Kevin Main and his firm, Prospect Mountain Builders, without reservation. I have had nothing but good things to say about the honesty, the process and the work executed by Kevin Main and his team. They have been reliable and communicative at all times during the process, and the quality of their work product is of the highest calibre. In addition, they always left the job site tidy and clean! The Prospect Mountain team are talented, capable and disciplined. And, working with them has been a pleasure. "
"Our new kitchen is the second project we have done with Kevin Main and Prospect Mountain Builders. Kevin and his team do impeccable work. The tile man, carpenters, painters, plumbers and electrician all do beautiful work. My friends said I was crazy to have a new kitchen built while I was in China, but Kevin planned everything and when we returned it was 90% complete. While I was gone he sent pictures of the progress and handled any problems that arose. "
Master Bedroom Suite Softly Screams “AHHHHH”
"I moved into my house in 2000. Kevin & PMB crew completely redid my kitchen with custom cabinetry and beams in 2010 (now my second favorite place in the house), and then some custom trim work in my bathroom in 2016 ….. So when I dreamed of my master bedroom suite remodel in 2018 I knew Kevin and PMB were the guys I would trust to transform my master bedroom and boy did they ever. My space was completely gutted. As construction was progressing Kevin brought me to another project of his to look at different trim and door styles. I am a visual gal so it was very important for me to see and feel the potential products prior to install and I also got some great ideas. My Master bedroom suite now has an office with beautiful custom cabinetry and wood work, an amazing walk in closet, a sitting/reading area and sleeping quarters. The PMB custom made gorgeous barn doors for my closet and office space. My floors are now heated and new flooring installed. The detail to all of the trim and the doors are most impressive. My master bedroom suite space has become my absolute favorite spot. It oozes a spa like atmosphere and automatically puts a smile on my face as soon as I walk in. Thank you, Kevin and your faithful, courteous and very clean workers, for making this girls dream come true."
"In considering how to move forward with an addition to our home, we chose to work directly with a builder who could help us refine our design ideas into a buildable project that would meet our needs and fit within our budget. After conversations with neighbors who had completed home renovation and addition projects, we chose Prospect Mountain Builders (PMB). Smart move!
PMB, headed by Kevin Main, is a team of highly skilled and courteous craftsmen, with a strong work ethic. The quality of their work is excellent. The team is supplemented by subcontractors, recommended by Kevin, who possess these same traits. Kevin was on the jobsite every working day and is a great communicator of what’s going to happen when. He and members of his team made many helpful suggestions throughout the “low stress” construction process. The finished product exceeded our expectations and was completed within budget. Thank you Prospect Mountain Builders!"
"When we purchased our farm in Litchfield, the property included a one story guest cottage with an attached 2 car garage. We were interested in expanding the first floor apartment to include a second bedroom, a remodeled bathroom, a functional kitchen, and an expanded open living space; in addition, we wanted a second floor that would be light-filled and serve as an art studio. Working with Kevin and his team at Prospect Mountain Builders we were both gratified and excited to see our project brought to fruition. We could not be more pleased with the outcome, both aesthetically and functionally. Kevin and his team were a pleasure to work with: the communication was excellent, they were impressively able to make our design vision a reality, and the craftsmanship was superb. If we were to contemplate any additional building projects, we would certainly use Prospect Mountain Builders. "
"We recently relocated to Litchfield to a gorgeous 1786 home that needed a new kitchen and other repairs. After chatting up a few of our helpful neighbors, every one of them recommended Prospect Mountain Builders to do the work. I am so glad we listened. Taking on a full kitchen remodel in the middle of winter with four small children at home was a daunting thought, but thanks to Kevin and his entire friendly, knowledgeable, and experienced crew, it went off without a snag. I loved that the crew showed up at the same time every morning, completed the work by mid afternoon, and were there every day like clockwork until the job was complete. We actually missed them when the job was finished! And the kitchen is now the most beautiful part of the home.
Kevin worked with me from beginning to end to make sure we had the same vision of exactly what we wanted. I would recommend Kevin and the entire PMB team to anyone looking for a competent, tidy, experienced, and friendly contractor. We are continuing to work with them on several other projects in the home."
"When we bought our new house we already knew that we’d be asking Kevin and his crew to take on some of our renovation projects. We’ve known Kevin for years and have been impressed with his work around town. When you have more than one project the whole process can become daunting and using Kevin made us feel comfortable and more at ease. Kevin or one of his team was always available to walk us through any questions along the way. Kevin is the ultimate contractor! He keeps his worksite neat and tidy. His team was friendly and efficient. The subcontractors were wonderful as well. After several months the whole group felt like family. When changes took place along the way (and they always take place) which required spending more than the allowed budget, before moving forward Kevin always made sure there were discussions on the cost and alternatives to recommend. We also discovered that through Kevin’s many years of experience and his team of skilled craftsmen - we were able to build out a full basement, office and laundry areas without having to hire an architect. These rooms came out beautifully. I would recommend Kevin/Prospect Mountain Builders to anyone in a heartbeat! PMB helped to create our forever home, and we will be forever grateful. "
"Kevin Main and Prospect Mountain Builders did a fantastic job building our barn on time, on budget and with great attention to detail. We wanted to ensure the barn fit into the character of our existing home with a similar look and feel to compliment our house as if it were an extension of our home, not an after-thought. Prospect Mountain Builders built us a beautiful barn -- there is a lower level where we store our patio furniture and lawn equipment, a main level and a loft with a copper topped cupola with solar lighting. They built the barn according to plans, but were also flexible and willing to offer suggestions when we wanted to make some modifications. The entire experience was extremely collaborative and we felt that Kevin and his team really cared about our project. We have received so many compliments on the beauty of our barn from friends, neighbors and family -- we cannot thank Kevin and his team enough and would highly recommend him for other projects."
"We couldn't be happier with Kevin and his team. His workmanship is terrific and he brought a lot of good ideas to the table. He delivered on all of his promises and is extremely responsive. During our renovation there was a storm and our home sustained some damage. We were away on vacation and without missing a beat, Kevin stepped up and handled everything for us. It was amazing... I don't know what we would have done without him. We love our newly renovated kitchen, bathroom and mud room. We would have no hesitation recommending Kevin to friends and neighbors and would definitely use him again for other projects."
"My wife and I moved to Litchfield a couple of years ago. One of our neighbors, a longtime Litchfield resident, totally raved about Kevin Main and PMB. Based on her enthusiasm, we hired Kevin to do some small things around the house--and then a major and rather complicated renovation--which was done over the winter while were were totally away. Our friends in Florida where we were spending the winter were astonished and kept asking if we were going up to CT to check both on the progress and the quality of the work. "No need" we replied. Kevin was constantly in communication emailing photos and discussing any issues that arose. When we arrived back in Litchfield in the spring, it was amazing--100% right! We are so thrilled with how our renovation came out--and that I never had a single worrisome thought as the work progressed. No one could ask for anything more. "
"When we decided to re-model a few rooms in our home and build an addition, a friend recommended Kevin Main and Prospect Mountain Builders; we certainly are grateful to our friend for the recommendation. Simply put - Kevin and his team did a great job for us. As we finalized our plans, Kevin contributed several ideas that improved the design and respected the budget. Throughout construction, Kevin continued to deliver, and his team created a high quality result. We have had a custom home built and twice done major additions. Such projects are all-consuming and stressful, but if we were to do it again, we would want to work with Kevin and PMB."
"Thank you so much for putting your heart, expertise, and top notch crew into building our beautiful barn. Your talented and skilled crew were always on site first thing in the morning and seemed to never stop working until day was over. Unless of course they decided to share their lunch with our dogs that was greatly appreciated. The quality of construction is exemplary, from the perfectly spaced nails on the siding, to the unique and stunning custom window trim. I get compliments weekly on the beauty and attention to detail you and your crew put into every aspect of the build. I look forward to working with you again on new projects in the future. Many thanks to Kevin and crew for a job extremely well done."
"I have been working with Kevin, and Prospect Mountain Builders, for more than five years, on a number of varied projects. Their approach to the work has always been professional, and the results bear this out. The work reflects a high level of quality, is completed within the timeframe discussed at the outset, on budget. Throughout the project, Kevin maintains good communications, and a clean and neat job site, both of which are very important to me. "
"Our past homes were existing buildings...This was our first venture into a home building experience, and it was complex...the design was highly customized along with a very challenging site location...After reveiwing several builders, we chose Kevin and it was undoubtedly the right decision... his team performed flawlessly ...Kevin was with us from the very beginning and continues to support us post occupancy...The quality and craftsmanship of his work was second to none. He brought together first class teams of craftsmen...not only was the "fit & finish" of the work product exceptional, but the collaboration and "working together" spirit among the teams created a lower stress job environment which let us comfortably ask the inexperienced questions... I tend to judge the smaller things as well; a clean and orderly job site and tradespeople who seem to enjoy their work...Kevin got that right!!!"
"If you are considering contracting with Prospect Mountain Builders to build your dream home, I applaud your decision. At the beginning I didn't know which builder or contractor to work with. My decision, as events proved, was a good one...the perfect one. I cannot imagine anyone being more helpful in every possible way. Kevin was extremely efficient in giving me the benefit, the wealth, of all his accumulated experience and knowledge. I feel that Kevin worked on my behalf as hard as anyone could be asked to work making himself accessible for questions, planning and advice long past normal business hours. His humor, his patience, his reliabilty, his diligence, his courtesies made all the difference in the world. Thanks to him and Prospect Mountain Builders, I have builty my dream home. I hope that the future abundantly rewards builders of his quality."
""Kevin Main has worked for us in 1996 and in 2008-09 on two major projects. We have found his work to be of the highest quality, completed within an agreed on time frame and within a cost we anticipated. Unlike the work of other contractors with whom we have worked, he stays with a project until all the small details are completed and working correctly and is there if anything is needed after completion. We found that the sub contractors he brought into our project to also share his conscientiousness and diligence. He is a pleasure to work with and we recommend his services without reservation."
"Working with PMB is a pleasure from start to finish. They are superb craftsmen, taking extraordinary pride in the work they do. Kevin once came to me, head in hands, because a painter I hired had done work beneath Kevin’s standards and diminished the outcome… They are also upfront and consistent about the cost of the job. But it’s not only the pride, workmanship and businesslike attitude, they are always thoughtful and truly want to make the whole experience go well for me. I recommend them without hesitation."
"I would not hesitate in recommending Kevin Main of Prospect Mountain Builders. He is not just a builder but a craftsman who takes great pride in his work. His project for me involved a new roof, windows, kitchen, two bathrooms/laundry room, new heating/AC system, a fireplace, and a deck. When changes were necessary in the later stages of the job, Kevin was able to make decisions w/out consulting the architect. When I waunsure about certain details, Kevin took the initiative and often came up with the solution. I would definitely use Kevin for any future projects!."
"Having had three renovations of our apartment in Manhattan and three renovations of our house in Washington, CT, we are very familiar with the renovation process and we have had a variety of contractors. Kevin is a consummate professional: he gave us the best bid for the job; had a skilled group of craftsmen for every aspect of the work; and finished the work when he promised. In addition, on a personal level he was always available when we wanted to talk to him and responsive to our concerns. He made helpful suggestions all along the way and always gave us alternatives. Most important, the addition to our house is beautiful and was finished within our budget."
"Kevin Main gets an A++++ from us!! Kevin built our dream house a little over a year ago and we couldn't be happier with the entire building process and the finished product. Kevin is an extremely gifted and experienced craftsman. Kevin has a solid work ethic and his attention to detail is exceptional. Kevin is also a joy to work with and he guided us through the building experience without a hitch. Kevin's team is also a group of fine craftsmen and also great to work with. We were not at all surprised when our house was undergoing its final walk through for our certificate of occupancy and the building inspector commented to me that our house was the finest built house he's ever evaluated. We highly recommend Kevin for any building or renovation project you may, he will not disappoint."
"I was given Kevin's name by a friend and every time I've had some work to be done he's been quick to respond and does a good job and when he himself can't be here to do the job the men he sends are courteous, hard working and meticulous. I also feel that he is fair with his pricing. I am happy to recommend him."
"Having work done on your home ranks as one of life's most stressful experiences along with moving, a new job or planning a wedding. Working with PMB's made it a great one. These are courteous professionals who are on schedule, in budget and talented craftsmen. They treat you as if they care about you because they truly do."
"Kevin Main is perfect as a craftsman, a designer, and a builder. He is meticulous, original, (but also follows instructions beautifully)—he is creative and imaginative. He has worked on several projects at our house and the level of achievement is amazing —we have always been impressed and pleased with his work. We are also impressed with his fine character and amazing sense of humor. You may call me for more imformation – you can get my phone number from him. He is a pleasure to have in one’s life."
"When I first saw my present house, a 1750 colonial, I envisioned the possibilities of what it might be despite its need of a total renovation. With Kevins' help as main carpenter—an endeavor generally considered extremely stressful —became a great adventure and learning experience. The end result was exactly as I had hoped with no compromises along the way. I now have a “new” old house plus the addition of an“old” new kitchen and they are a perfedt fit thanks to Kevins' knowledge, patience and attention to detail. "
