S. A. Baxter, Inc.

We have worked with Sid over the past year. As a design professional, we have found SA Baxter to be well organized, led by experienced and knowledgeable staff who are diligent and exceptionally good craftsmen. We share the philosophy that essential to every successful project is the participation of the client, contractor, and consultant throughout.

We've known Sid for more than 10 years, and he has done projects for us ranging from tiny (a couple of stairs in the garage) to mid-size (living room and dining room built-ins) to huge (a bedroom, bath, and den addition). His work is consistently excellent. Unlike some contractors, he is highly responsible, communicative, and articulate. In our big project, he worked very well with our architect, providing valuable reality checks and feedback about various aspects of the planning. He was considerate of our neighbors, keeping the site clean, being careful about parking, and letting neighbors know when there would be disruptions. What's more, he demanded the same courtesy of his subcontractors and didn't hesitate to replace subs who didn't live up to his standards. He was careful to keep us updated, especially during tricky parts of the project, and was extremely clear about timing, payment schedule, change orders, and other aspects that can often lead to conflicts and difficulties. We've watched with admiration as Sid has grown his business, and we would not trust our house to anyone but him.

Sid did a complete gut and remodel of our apartment in 2007, floors, walls, kitchen, bathroom, windows. We loved it then, loved it again when we sold our place in 2015 for twice what we paid for it (including the remodel). During open houses everyone marveled at the lovely new remodel, eight years later.

Sid and his crew worked on our extensive bath remodel and re-siding of our entire exterior. We found Sid to be incredibly honest and his crew hard working and dedicated to making the project beautiful and the quality top notch. Sid proved to be an excellent problem solver and worked extremely well with both our architect and interior designer. If you are looking for someone who will dedicate themselves to the project and turn out a beautiful piece of construction then S.A. Baxter is the company for you. His crew became like family to us and we kind of missed them when they were done.
