"My father had the pleasure of buying the incredible Millers Hall building in the 1980, which was one of the oldest and most historic buildings in Lawrence. This building has hosted abolitionist strategic meetings with John Brown and the activism activity of the 9th street Baptist church, as well as surviving the fires of Quantrill's raid. I have been stewarding this property in my fathers stead and want to do right by its historic importance and vintage beauty. When I found that our 1870’s original tin ceiling was in danger of imminent collapse under the pressure of thousands of pounds of broken bits of horse-hair plaster, I was so distraught and intimidated by undertaking its repair. Enter CBC and their skilled crew who diligently pulled down every tile and nail to clear a hundred and fifty years of debris and place it back so beautifully it looked virtually untouched. Would highly recommend!"

“I used CBC to add a half bath and large closet area to my lower level family room. They did a great job, kept the construction mess contained, they were timely, and stayed on budget. They were so enjoyable, and always had useful suggestions. If I have another project, they will be my first call."

"CBC construction — Chris, Sam, Steve, Charlotte and their subcontractors — are great! We worked with them on building a new building, the Kansas Zen Center, a not typical construction with all kinds of not typical requirements — not just the building but surrounding infrastructure — and they did a beautiful job. People who know construction always comment on how well it is built. In fact we were so happy with their work that we hired them to do extensive work on our house — walls, floors, doors, and so on — and again their work was beautiful and solid. As a small company they are involved directly in a lot of the work, which helps ensure the high quality of what they do."

“Chris and his staff at CBC construction were amazing to work with. We did a full master bathroom remodel, and the whole process was flawless. Communication was always on point, and the completion timeline was executed perfectly. Our bathroom turned out great in every detail. We would recommend Chris at CBC construction to anyone looking to remodel their home.”
- Thiago Barbosa
“Chris and his team at CBC became a part of our family for a while. This is our home and trusting someone to make changes that we will live with for a long time is important. Chris and his team worked with and around our family with skill, compassion and creativity. They listened and made adjustments as the project proceeded that both enhanced the function and quality of our home, but also gave us practical advice along the way that saved us money and helped us better meet our goals."

"In 2018, we were looking for someone to help us figure out how to fix a design flaw in our kitchen. We had a couple of other companies come out to give an estimate, but we couldn’t get past their most pressing question: what was our budget? Without giving them a number, they wouldn’t offer us any other information or entertain any suggestions. A friend recommended Chris with CBC and when he came out, I explained the issue and he spent a good amount of time giving different ideas to fix the problem without fixating on money. He came up with a solution that we loved, and the job was done quickly and the finished product was outstanding. Because of our great experience with the previous work, when we bought a home that needed some work, he was our first contact to come assess the situation. This was a MUCH bigger job and a considerably older home than the first, so there were many unforeseen issues. We appreciated the up-front cost projections, and the communication regarding every step of the process was stellar. Even with the unexpected issues (and supply chain delays), our project was done in a good amount of time, and the results are phenomenal! We are already contemplating our next projects for the house, and CBC will be our first call when the time comes!"

“After interviewing several contractors for a total bathroom remodel, we chose Christopher Berry Construction. Chris impressed us with his openness and Charlotte was a bonus with her expertise in design. All the people who participated in this job were so personable, neat, and professional. And we loved the finished product so much we immediately had them start on a kitchen update! Both projects turned out better than we could have hoped. We were kept updated and informed every step of the way. Not only would we use CBC for any other projects we may have, but I would also highly recommend CBC to our friends and neighbors.”
