Testimonials
“Birchmere Builders did a fantastic job on our deck project. Although we knew generally what we wanted, Andy drove the design, permitting, and cost estimating process and delivered a beautiful high-quality project that we’re thrilled with. At every turn, Andy was responsive, communicated clearly and acted with honesty and integrity. We would not hesitate to work with Andy and his team on a future build.”

“I have observed and occasionally worked with Andy on my house and others and observed him building from the ground up. That includes excavation, below ground structures, framing, siding, roofing and special details and finish work, electricity, plumbing and landscaping, His work is precise and the area around the work site is clear, safe and attended to. Andy values a well done job and a satisfied customer, so if you want a plan completed to its smallest detail with energy and commitment to your vision, I recommend Andy.”

Heidi And BobWe hired Andy and his crew to replace a deck on front of our house and replace fascia. They did a great job and were very thorough. Set expectations with clear communication which we very much appreciated. Andy even took a design I found on-line and was able to recreate exactly as we wanted to cover the base of the deck. We had such a great experience we hired him and team back for an indoor project, replacing floors and creating an additional bedroom. Andy and team were able to provide solutions to address all our concerns. Will be using them again for our next project.”

“Andy Metcalf did an amazing job with our custom doors (barn door external slider and a pocket door) and our custom kitchen cabinets. We are very picky clients and he worked with us to determine our vision and make them perfect. Our slider and pocket doors were both massive and he assisted us with the proper wood options for our design as well as adding some metal trim elements that really made them one of a kind. They were beautiful. For our kitchen cabinets, we were looking for some unconventional sizes and Andy delivered. We always wanted a centerpiece with large wooden drawers for storing pots and pans and this required thinking out of the box for some heavy duty sliders and soft close details. We also had plenty of storage and a huge countertop space. It was ready for our choice of countertop and all elements really held up to the abuse of our growing family. Very happy with his workmanship and design assistance.”

“Andy Metcalf was instrumental in the design and build of our 3 story house with a front curve. His creative passion combined with outstanding craftsmanship made it possible for our house to elegantly grow out of the forest. The complex level of framing a curve combined with a double wall resulted in the most efficient house with over R50 insulated walls for the extreme environment of Interior Alaska. I would have 100% trust in Andy to build anything from a simple cabin to a multi story mansion, all with a details of fine framing to precision finish work.”

“I’ve known Andy Metcalf for twenty years both as a friend and as an employee of mine in my 20 year old construction company. Andy worked for me for at least 2 1/2 years as a carpenter. During that time, I found that I could rely on him as an excellent carpenter with a very good knowledge of all aspects of house building and design from the foundation to the roof. My trust in his ability extended to my hiring him as a foreman to finish my own home. I was disappointed to lose him when he moved away from Alaska.”
