Builders Halesowen

We had our driveway done by Southpaw. Stunning job and we are very happy. Top workmanship and very professional. We would absolutely recommend them!

Julian and team knocked through our downstairs rooms - throughout the communication has been excellent and work completed to a high standard. We had some minor hassles with building regulations and Southpaw were helpful and supportive whilst these were sorted out. Thoroughly recommended

We are completely satisfied. Over the past 40 years, my wife and I have worked with many contractors, both for renovating our homes, and for renovating dozens of rental apartments that we owned. After a few years, I developed strict criteria for hiring or rehiring contractors that I would recommend to friends. To achieve a 5-star rating from us, the contractor must do at least the following: -must have adequate experience handling the type of job that we need to be completed -must be fully licensed to handle our job and is fully insured -must have lots of experience working with the town or city where the work is to be done if permits are needed for any or all of the work -must be willing to give us 3 names of clients who they have worked with over the last 5 years that we can call for a reference -must present us with a thorough and detailed proposal including costs that are clearly laid out for the work to be done. -must tell us when and if certain aspects of the job will be sub-contracted to others who are not in their direct employ, -must present us with ideas on how we can do the work more efficiently and aesthetically. -must be easy to work with, easy to contact, have excellent communication skills and be able to discuss a difference of opinion without being defensive. -must keep us up to date on the progress of the job without having to be asked -And after the work is completed must be willing to return to correct any part of the job that was not completed to our satisfaction Southpaw readily met or exceeded the above criteria. In our case, Chris Lisinski, as our general contractor, gave us a clear and competitive proposal. He answered all of our questions over several weeks while we were reviewing other bids. Although we were hesitant to do so, circumstances beyond our control, caused us to be out of state while the work was being done. The work was extensive including gutting our 1600 square foot condo to the concrete walls, covering the popcorn ceilings and adding recessed lighting, upgrading our electrical work including adding the capacity for an EV and a tankless water heater, replacing all interior doors and windows, installing a new kitchen, replacing all flooring and adding 2 new beautiful bathrooms. Throughout the work we received 4-5 photos each day to show us the progress that day. If I had questions about the photos or other aspects of the job I could count on a prompt reply either by phone or text. Chris would promptly present me with change orders and costs so that I had no surprise costs at the end of the job. Before we found Chris, we hired an excellent interior designer named Adrienne to see beyond the cookie-cutter 80’s condo and turn it into a unique and beautifully appointed home. Her design and advice resulted in our having the best-looking condo in our association. In fact, things went so well with them working together that she became part of the Southpaw team after our work was complete. She too is a gem. Overall, Chris, and Danielle his wife, are easy to work with and diligent . I could not have hoped for a better experience or outcome.

Have used many times, very reasonable prices and totally reliable. Highly recommend.

IWe recently used Southpaw Building for a rear extension on our detached home, along with a full reconfiguration of the downstairs layout and relocating our kitchen, and we are absolutely delighted with the results.From the very beginning, they were professional, trustworthy, approachable and extremely knowledgeable. They didn’t just complete the build; they also supported us through the planning application process, which made what could have been a stressful stage feel straightforward and manageable. Their guidance and experience were invaluable.Throughout the project, the team were polite, respectful and hardworking. Communication was clear and consistent, and we always felt informed and reassured. The quality of workmanship is excellent; the new extension has completely transformed our home, creating a bright, spacious layout that works perfectly for our family. The kitchen relocation was handled seamlessly, with real attention to detail.Pricing was fair and transparent, with no hidden surprises, and everything was delivered to a high standard.We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Southpaw Building to anyone considering similar work. A genuinely professional company providing quality work and excellent service, 5 stars.

Julians lads came down short notice on and rescued our project and helped us massively in hitting the very tight deadline we had, thank you to all of you, very greatfull, especially for mick who kept the morale up when everyone was stressing

The team was professional, punctual, and incredibly skilled, but what really set them apart was their passion and attention to detail. They didn’t just “do a job” they took pride in every element, from the layout and structure to the finishing touches that made the space truly special. Every suggestion they made improved the design, and they were never pushy — just genuinely invested in making sure the final result was perfect for me.
My garden is now a tranquil relaxing space. Thank you again 🙂

The best builders Julian and the team are nothing short of brilliant. Like most people, we don't know much about the process of building an extension, but from the very first meeting, we knew that we were in safe hands. You can tell that they really care about what they do, and it really shows when the work is finished. We are so happy with our new kitchen.

If you're having any work done - speak to Julian first. That's my advice.

Amazing transformation Absolutely blown away with the work completed by southpaw! From start to finish everything was thorough and detailed with what works were going to be taking place and what needed doing. Even throughout the project nothing was too much to ask off the lads. Everyone was helpful, kind and polite. I would definitely recommend southpaw to anyone and a massive thank you to Julian & his team for all the work and effort that has gone into the spectacular transformation of our back garden.
