Testimonials

“My wife and I bought our forever home in the Summer of 2018. It was a farmhouse style built in 1900 and it was in need of a major renovation. It teetered on a full teardown or having the right builder who was up for the technical challenge to save and restore the historical details. We hired Artisan Builders and Swan Builders for the job. Robert Caruso was the lead architect and senior construction advisor and John, the lead builder. John and I communicated often on the intricate details of a complicated job. His attention to detail, thoroughness and ability to complete the work on a fast paced detail set him apart. We have lived in the house now for 6 years and could not be happier with our home. John is our go-to for all of our building projects large and small. He has since built us custom furniture, a day bed for our bay window, a custom shed, built in fireplace and trash enclosure. He has the skills from framing, roofing, siding, tiling and finish work. There is not a project I have found that John could not complete. His prices are fair and thoughtful and he completes the jobs on time. Our children were young during the house build and just adore John and when we talk about a new project they know to call Swan Builders.” —Jesse, Melrose  

“I hired John Swan to build a custom timber frame cabana for my back yard last summer. This cabana sits beside my pool and serves as an outdoor oasis for me and my family. John was very helpful with helping to design it, giving me ideas of what would look good, what materials would last through the seasons, and other details that I had not thought through.  Communication was also very easy in that he was quick to respond to all my emails and text messages. It took about 6 weeks from design to completion, and he also fixed up my deck as part of the work.  Aside from being a talented carpenter, John is just a good guy and was an absolute pleasure to work with. Two thumbs up and I highly recommend him to all my friends.” —Maria, North Reading 

“I’m very pleased with not only the finished product, but with the experience of working with John. He’s a good listener, put a lot of thought into the project, offered practical ideas, and paid attention to the details as well as the overall design. I found him to be reliable, hard-working, and communicative. I wouldn’t hesitate to call him again and I’d recommend Swan Builders to anyone looking to undertake a carpentry/building project.”— Monica, Newburyport

“We can't say enough about the craftsmanship that John put into this project.  The results are wonderful.  John communicated with us throughout the job and was up front about pricing etc.  The job site was kept clean and safe everyday.  I have to stress again that the results are amazing!  All of our neighbors have stopped to comment.  We would hire John again in a heartbeat.” — Matt, Gloucester

“John took the time to share his expertise and ideas on how to move forward on the rebuild of our old deck, with an emphasis on style and appearance as well as affordability. The pride he takes in his craftsmanship, as well as advice are very commendable and appreciated. We kept it pretty simple but his personal touches made it unique as well as beautiful. We love our deck.” —Kathy, Vineyard Haven
