Superb craftsmanship when completing our kitchen/ bathroom job. They were meticulous with the tile and backsplash work. They took their time, did not rush and answered all my questions throughout the process....

The operations team went above and beyond meeting my demands in a changing project.

I know we had agreed to a certain layout with stonework, decking, and opening up the back of our kitchen in the beginning.

However, I wanted to change a lot of how the patio looked and the team was able to accommodate and make sure everything came out perfectly as I wanted....

We had an excellent experience with Blue Collar Scholars installing a set of ikea cabinets in our kitchen. We went with them instead of the ikea installers because BCS did demo and all needed plumbing (minor, like detaching and reattaching the sink and dishwasher) and ikea wouldn't, for comparable prices. We're so glad we went with them. Roberto and his crew were fantastic at every step of the process. When any functional or aesthetic questions came up, they clearly explained our options and their recommendations. There was no upsell, though we did decide to add on a few tasks based on issues we only saw once the old cabinets were removed. Even though this was a small job compared to big custom kitchens, it really felt like they cared about the quality of the work and how happy we would be with the resulting kitchen. Also, all of the company stuff were lovely to communicate with and very responsive. Would definitely strongly recommend the company and would hire them for future work....

Has been handling property management for our commercial/ residential property since 2015. I've always dealt with the same crews and this outfit is like a one stop shop. They take care of our landscaping, hardscaping, decking, fencing driveway repairs, drainage, waterproofing (those terrible summer rains!!!), interior/ exterior painting, plumbing, drywall and even handle interior alterations when permits are needed. They recently asked how we liked their company and I decided to let the whole world know here on google! Happy 2026 everyone and go Blue Collar Scholars!!! :)...

What began as a stressful situation with another contractor quickly turned into one of the best decisions we’ve ever made when we hired Blue Collar Scholars. Their team took what started as a nightmare — after we initially hired a small contractor with only a couple of reviews who completely botched the job — and turned it into an absolute success story. Blue Collar Scholars stepped in, reassessed everything with true professionalism, and saved the entire project.

The attention to detail and quality of work are unmatched. The new addition was built with a fully waterproofed crawlspace, giving us peace of mind for the long term. Inside, the natural hardwood floors flow beautifully throughout the space, and custom windows now overlook the backyard, creating a warm, open feel filled with natural light. They even planted privacy trees along the entire perimeter of the yard, and in just a couple of years we’ll have complete privacy — something we’ve always wanted.

The kitchen has been completely transformed. It’s now open and inviting, with natural cherry cabinets and granite countertops that make the space both functional and stunning. The electrical work was done flawlessly, giving us perfect lighting that connects seamlessly from the addition into the open kitchen. The master bathroom was expanded, and we now have a beautiful walk-in closet that has completely elevated how we use our space.

They also solved drainage issues the right way, installing two dry wells that ensure the property remains protected even after heavy rains. The deck extension was built with Island Mist Trex and accented with sleek black aluminum railings — a perfect combination of durability and style. Just off the addition and deck, they created a gorgeous Techo-Bloc patio where we now gather around fires in the fall.

Every step of the way, the planning, design, and craftsmanship were top-notch. Even other contractors who have since been on the property have complimented the quality of the work. From the crawlspace to the custom finishes, Blue Collar Scholars delivered beyond expectations, and we are absolutely thrilled with the results.

My kids were really excited about the framing/electrical and drywell portion of the job so i'll post pics of the process!

Updated! There was a minor warranty issue with the deck, they came out literally next day and fixed the issue! Thanks!...

Great collaboration with this team! Little shaky in the beginning about communication but once we touched based again communication was superb. They put in a brand new laundry room, brand new bathroom, and renovated kitchen. Extremely happy with work. They were able to reconfigure an electrical outlet through the wall to accomdate an electric stove we bought with very inconvenient outlet intake, very expertly done.

Great work done by Jordan, Julie and William!...

Their architect and remodeling team did a fantastic job obtaining permits and completing our addition/remodel job on time....
