What Larchmont Homeowners Say
JMR replaced the entire slate roof on our 1928 Colonial in Larchmont. They sourced Vermont slate to match the original profile — something two other contractors said wasn't worth the effort. Every flashing detail was rebuilt correctly. The handover package included photos of every transition before it was covered. Outstanding.

My new house is gorgeous in Scarsdale. As a doctor I don't know if I can heal people the way Mira and Florenc treated me and my ideas — with so much passion. They are truly exceptional.

JMR built our home in Bedford from foundation to certificate of occupancy. They coordinated directly with our architect and never modified the design intent without written approval. The documentation package at handover was thorough — as-builts, all warranties, every permit in order. We would hire them again without hesitation.
