Exceptional Home Building, Renovations, Restorations
Client Focused Construction Management
We have met the goal Jay set when he started the company in 1980 which was to set the standards considered the best in the trades.
Our Current Project
We have countless successful projects completed over decades. New homes, additions, restoration work on historic homes, an uncountable number of kitchens and baths and smaller unique tile and trim jobs which we still love to do.
We treat each project as if it were our own. That may be a sales pitch but it isn’t a lie. There are no lies here.
We are a group of meticulous craftsmen and trades people who love displaying our competence.

What Our Clients Say
- Annemarie C.
"I’m just blown away by how beautiful the pool house looked tonight when I came down!! There are no words except THANK YOU for the custom design and pain staking detail of your work. We are so appreciative of all you do and your hard work and craftsmanship. Just wow! ❤️"
- Laura F.
“When we moved to Rochester in 2014, a friend recommended Jay Tovey as a good person to re-do our kitchen. It was the best advice we’ve ever received. Ever since, Jay has been our go-to person for innumerable projects, all undertaken with consummate professionalism and an un-matched eye for detail. We still marvel at the custom-made trim Jay added to ordinary closet doors to make them more in keeping with the other ones in our 1913 home, and the hand-crafted crown molding he designed for our kitchen ceiling, and at the trompe l'oeuil wood grain paint job he commissioned for the door into the wine cellar he built us. On top of all that, everyone who works for Jay is a fabulous human being who is a delight to be around. We’ve grown close to the whole team over the years.”

"Have I mentioned that I love my house? Last night I would not have known there was a crazy windstorm if I didn’t have wind chimes. It’s nice and warm and SOLID, not to mention peaceful and comfortable. "
"The back deck is perfect... The house is so well insulated that the AC wasn't needed until ~ July 5. Just in case i forgot to mention that I love my home 😁😁😁."
"I'm Just so glad to have had this home during all the covid surges. I never stopped going into work, I haven't had covid yet, but having a calm, functional home space has been vitally important."
- Deb P.
A note forwarded from a Tile Vendor:
"There are not enough wonderful adjectives for me to tell you how pleased we are with our tile! Thank you for all your help I promise to speak well of your establishment, and I promise to speak often!
We also need to tell you that Jay Tovey our contractor tweaked our original design, per our last minute annoying request, and it is fantastic! His artistic vision not only compensated for our request but entirely improved on the original design! We can not speak strongly enough about Mr.Tovey’s high quality performance under fire. If you need work done call Jay, he made your beautiful product that much more beautiful, and he has been a pleasure to work with.
Thank you very very much!"
- Dr. and Mrs. John G.
