Contractor Ryan

10 Years of Branton…

What started as a small renovation company in 2016 has grown into something we’re incredibly proud of.

Over the last decade, we’ve worked on countless homes, taken on some incredible projects, and had the privilege of working alongside talented trades, employees, designers, suppliers and partners.

Most importantly, our clients have trusted us with their homes. That’s something we’ve never taken for granted.

We’ve been documenting the journey on video almost from the beginning, and looking back through 10 years of footage is a pretty amazing reminder of how far we’ve come — and how many people have been part of getting us here.

To our clients, our team, our trades and everyone who has supported, recommended and followed Branton over the years — thank you.

10 years down. We’re excited for what comes next. 🔨

While tar sealing helps protect against leaks, we also have to address these exterior cracks to ensure the structure stays sound.

Do Plumbers Charge More On Weekends?

We had to call in Rob The Plumber on his day off for this winter weekend job, I wonder if his "emergency rate" will be inflated since it was -17 outside!?!
