What clients are saying

I have been pleased to use PJ Builders for three separate projects over the last 15 years. Most recently PJ Builders built a mudroom addition on my home. From start to finish, I have been completely happy with PJ Builders. The cost projection for my mudroom was incredibly thorough, and when the project was complete, our expenses were nearly to the penny in sync with the cost projection. The work has always been completed to the highest quality, and in a timely manner. In the future, should I require a professional builder, I will definitely be calling PJ Builders.

Tom Reynolds

“When I needed to remodel my mountainside condominium, I contacted PJ Builders. Pete Olson not only gave me an affordable quote, he offered great advice on how to turn a sterile-looking room into a warm, rustic hideaway. I’ve also seen homes built entirely by PJ Builders and would recommend them to anyone for any type of project. They are professional, approachable and know the business inside and out.”

Katie Eldridge

I cannot say enough about Pete Olson, PJ builders and the incredible team of subs. I have done several remodels with other contractors and our projects always seemed to end with the feeling of ‘please just make this end’. With Pete and his team we never had a moment like that! The communication, respect for our budget, timeliness of his team and subs, respect and cleanliness of the worksite and quality of work were like nothing we have ever experienced. I knew Pete had multiple other projects at the time but he never made us feel like it. He answered text and phone calls, checked in continuously at the project and with his subs and was always a calming presence at a hectic job site. I am already looking forward to our next project with Pete and his team.

We contracted PJ Builders for an historic renovation in Old Town Park City. Being an old miners’ home it was not an easy renovation. At every turn there seemed to be another challenge that needed to be overcome. No obstacle seemed too much for Pete Olson. He would determine a solution that met planning codes and the renovation style we wanted to achieve. His attention to detail, workmanship and communication were always a priority, which was invaluable to us.

Having witnessed Pete’s previous work and spoken to other customers, it was obvious that Pete and his crew take a great deal of pride in what they do. Price is always a factor, but the most significant attributes involve the overall quality of work. The attention to detail was exemplary, as the end results were nothing short of beautiful. We appreciate the open lines of communication throughout the process, from the initial design phase all the way through to completion. In the event that a question or issue arose, we knew that it would be discussed and addressed in an honest and timely manner. We couldn’t be more satisfied with our experience with PJ Builders.

We are thrilled with our newly renovated home in Park City. The sub-contractors that PJ Builders used on our home were highly qualified, creative and very professional. We had a great working relationship with each of the sub-contractors which enabled them to understand and execute our vision. Because our home was a small footprint, there were many challenges associated with creating the storage and living space that we desired, and PJ Builders was able to accomplish all that we wanted and required.

Toni and Fritz

Pete is fantastic! We renovated a historic miner’s house in Park City, Utah in 2010. We live in Bermuda, so a complete renovation from afar is no easy task. Pete is a great communicator and problem solver which made the distance manageable. His attention to detail, quality workmanship, knowledge of building codes and issues made for a smooth renovation of 9 months. We strongly recommend him.

Me and my family have worked closely with Pete and his team for 20+ years. They are on top of their game, communicate well, and have a good sense of humor. It is nice to work with real people that know what they are doing, and aren’t afraid to fix any mistakes and confront adversity with strength until the job is done and done top notch. I would build my own custom home with PJ Builders someday. Thanks for everything you guys do!

We hired PJ Builders for an 18-month gut renovation project on our 4,400 sq/ft primary home in Park City. They did an exemplary job. They were able to stay on schedule despite endless challenges related to materials and subcontractors during COVID. They also had an attention to detail and quality that I hadn’t experienced with other contractors previously. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them for all types of projects in the PC area.

Everything PJ Builders did brought a higher level of quality to the job. The professionalism and detail-oriented practices of the firm makes them easy to work with. They are responsive and receptive to all input and concerns. No detail is too small or left unfinished. The quality of their work is excellent, the team was great.
