I recently hired Built by Babb to repair the ceiling in my bedroom after part of it collapsed due to a roof leak, and the experience exceeded all my expectations. They removed the damaged plaster and lathing, installed new drywall, painted, and even installed a ceiling fan. The entire team worked with remarkable skill, and the finished product is perfect!Johnny Babb, the owner, closely supervised the project, ensuring everything went smoothly. The subcontractors were well-coordinated. Throughout the process, communication was excellent, and I was always kept in the loop. They met the promised timeline and worked with my insurance company to provide all the necessary documentation.I truly felt like a partner in the process, and the project was completed within my budget. I highly recommend Built by Babb for their exceptional workmanship, excellent communication, and commitment to their clients.

Met John and his team when our SBA loan required a licensed contractor to work our project. To say he saved us is an understatement. He converted a Title Loans facility into a beautiful bakery and made my wife’s dream a reality! Great work, timely and on budget! Thanks Built by Babb for being amazing human beings and supporting this small business! Smallcakes Smithfield will partner with this world class team anytime!

Excellent Businessman and person! Cant stress this enough. John and his crew were outstanding. He came in and added a butlers pantry for us as well as reworked some of our existing kitchen and added a coffee bar. His quality and price cant be matched. If you are looking for any work to be done, please give him a call, you wont be disappointed!I dont have the before pics but heres what it looks like afterwards.

John Babb and his guys built the most beautiful porch and hot tub deck for us. I cannot say enough about how amazing they all were! The entire process was just what you would want for any construction or home improvement. From start to finish John was very responsive and always kept us informed about the job. The guys on the crew were great and very skilled. The finished project was so much more than what we had hoped for! We love it so much! We highly recommend!

Built by Babb did excellent work installing new drywall, garage door, opener, torsion springs and metal wrapping to upgrade from ceiling tiles and an old wooden door with extension springs. Babb was very considerate of my needs and schedule, remaining as patient and professional as one could expect while I was preparing despite him and his crew being ready. Excellent quality and craftsmanship at a much lower price than expected. Garage is still a mess as were still getting everything in its place but were extremely pleased with the outcome! Highly recommended to anyone needing just about any home improvement/repair needs! Thanks Babb!

Built by Babb did an excellent job renovating a 60-year-old rental house we own that had fallen into disrepair. John was very communicative and kept me posted at every step along the way. The final result was a beautiful, total makeover that the tenants love!

Had our living room remodeled. Existing brick fireplace was removed and 0 clearance fireplace installed with a stone face. Complete face lift with windows, doors, lighting and flooring. Steps upstairs were rebuilt. This gave us a lot of more room. structural repairs were made also. These guys did a precision job to make sure everything was level and square. This was challenging because my house was built in the 40s. I selected a couple before and after photos from the same angle.

Built by Babb did such and amazing job on ceiling damage we had around our fireplace and then come to find out roof needed to be replaced which probably needed after being in our house for 27 years. Johnny and his crew replaced our roof also. We highly highly recommended Built by Babb. We will be utilizing him in near future.

John is amazing. He communicates very well and is always straightforward and honest. He even took care of a busted pipe in my wall and completely redid all of the drywall and paint at no cost to me. Things always go wrong when doing a home remodel but it’s all about how it’s handled by the contractor and John was A plus.Not to mention the quality. My God, the quality is amazing. The tile work and the shower door just feel wonderful. Not that cheap “Home Depot” feeling.Recommend to anyone doing a home remodel.

I was very impressed with the quality and service provided by Babb and his team! This was a major project for us, and Built by Babb made sure that we got what we wanted at a price that we could afford. I was very anxious about the project to begin with, just due to the size and budget, but Babb broke it all down in a way that made me feel comfortable with how things would work. When anything looked like it might be about to deviate from the desired outcome, Babb was quick to communicate and adjust to ensure that we were happy with the final product. I will definitely be using him again for the many projects I have planned for the future!

We just had Built by Babb replace the windows and doors in our sunroom. Johnny and his crew did a wonderful job and I highly recommend them. Johnny is great to work with and really cares about his clients. He is a man of his word and wants nothing more than satisfied customers. He is very reliable and he won’t disappoint.

Built by Babb just completed a remodel of my master bath both on time and exactly how I had envisioned. John has amassed a great group of craftsmen that take pride in their work and it shows. Will not hesitate to use again.

We moved into a home that has two outdated and unsafe bathrooms. I happened to read a few comments on a Facebook site that recommended the contractor, Built by Babb. Boy, did I hit the jackpot!Johnny Babb responded quickly to my call, and he came to my house that week to advise me and to price the job. The total job included bathroom makeovers and new kitchen countertops. The work was done within in a month, and the results are beautiful! The best part is that the final price matched the estimate!Also, I can’t say enough about the skilled workers. Each worker took time to make everything exactly right, and I could tell that they value excellence.

This is Roxanne. Built By Babb came to our house this week and tore off the stairs on our front porch and replaced them in just under 4 hours. They were EXCELLENT, professional, personable, efficient, and timely for a fair price. They cleaned up every last scrap of material and hauled it off. I would recommend John and his crew again and again. Any time I need them they are always available and do a fantastic job!

Built by Babb completed a full bathroom remodel of my master bathroom. The entire experience from start to finish was great. John was very responsive and easy to reach during the entire process for every single idea, thought, and question I had. This was the first time I had ever done something of this nature and I was entirely clueless; he was very patient and helpful in helping me get steered in the right direction for all of the decisions that had to be made. The quality of the workmanship from his team is top notch, from the drywall people to the people who make the countertops, to the tile layers and more. His entire team was also very friendly and personable. Two weeks after the process was complete I contacted John for a minor issue with the shower and he sent a team member over to fix it the very next day no questions asked. That means a whole lot to me when a company cares that much about their work they make it right even after that final payment has been made. Wonderful experience and my bathroom is beautiful and everything I could have wanted. Definitely calling them when Im ready for my next project.

We just moved into a house that needed several things done. We called built by Babb and they were very responsive. Lined up all of the work to be done quickly. We were most impressed with the custom cabinetry we asked them to do in our den. It was perfect and we are so happy with the outcome. Built by Babb is professional, responsive, and does quality work. We would use them again for any job in our home.

Mr. Babb came out to see what repairs we needed on a bad shower faucet install, replacing an outdoor faucet and fixing the fascia trim. He sent his crew by one morning to double check what plumbing supplies were needed. While they worked on another job that day in Sedley they went to Franklin to get my repair parts and stopped back by that afternoon after they finished the Sedley job. They were able to fix all my repair jobs including the shower install done wrong that had vise grips holding the pipe in place. I was mortified that they were there. His guys were very professional and really knew what was needed to correct all 3 jobs. This company will definitely be our go to company for any repairs or new jobs that our home will need. Thank you for working us into your schedule and we have already recommended you to some of our friends.

We hired John to remodel our master bathroom. We are very pleased with the final product. Johns crew showed up everyday on time. They were very polite and professional. I would give him a 10 out of 10 rating. We have recommended him to several of our neighbors and will hire him for future home improvements

The BBB Team was hired by the sellers of the house I just bought to correct inspection defects. They performed the electrical work correctly, but due to a previously undisclosed issue (to me or them) the issue reoccurred once I took possession. They jumped right on it as if it was a workmanship issue, and even absorbed the cost of the initial hour of troubleshoting. In the end, they corrected the ROOT CAUSE quickly and reasonably! Its nice to see that accountability and credibility still mean something on this day in age! Thanks Dave Anthony, Smithfield VA.
