“What a process from start to finish this project was for us. We were somewhat doubtful on that Autumn day we brought Cellar Ridge into the house we had not yet purchased. We wanted this stark old house to work for our family, but it seemed as though there were several lifetimes of work to […]

“John and Carson are not only true visionaries but have the skill and persistence to bring ideas to reality. After a massive snowstorm nearly flattened one of the Granary District buildings in 2008, John and Carson went out of their way to bring forth ideas for rebuilding and reusing what was otherwise a complete teardown.

“I love John! The finished basement of our 1920’s home flooded in 2009, and we lost an entire floor of (shoddy) living space. We spent a year or two talking with various experts and contractors only to encounter more bad news and daunting obstacles. When Carson and John came on the scene, their positive attitude […]

A few things come to mind when we think about Cellar Ridge and the remodel they helped us complete: high quality, great people, above and beyond our expectations. Even before we purchased the 1901 farmhouse we currently live in, we consulted Cellar Ridge to talk about remodeling it. They saw the vision we had for […]

Our experience with Cellar Ridge was always positive. It’s difficult to think of a single phrase that sums it up. The main thing was the professionalism and expertise of Carson. Building this house was a big event for us and we were interested in every step. Carson patiently explained everything and permitted us to be […]

We had a very positive experience with Cellar Ridge construction. We selected Cellar Ridge Construction based on the company’s positive reputation and their expertise building high quality homes using energy efficient construction  techniques. We started our custom build while we lived out of state. Our project manager Carson Benner kept us informed throughout the build, with […]

We have worked with Cellar Ridge on two projects, the Saffron Fields’ Tasting Room (2012-2013) and our house on the same property (2018-2019).  Both of the projects involved several custom features including extensive use of reclaimed old growth wood from a barn on our property.    The crew that worked on both of the projects was […]
