John, Dave, and the teams they work with were all incredible. We couldn't have asked for a better experience, especially with this being our first major home project. Dave really ensured we felt comfortable throughout the project and had our backs. We didn't feel like just another client but taken care of. Certainly look forward to working with the entire Iron Bear team again in the future!

John, Iron Bear Projects and his entire team were great to work with for my master bathroom remodel. Professional and clean work throughout the entire job. The final project exceeded expectations. The PM David was always responsive and always eager to get to the next phase in order to complete the job for us. I can now say I have a spa at home because of iron bear. Highly recommend and we will surely use again for our next project.

Iron Bear just finished our kitchen, and we could not love it more. We originally set out to replace some cabinets, but decided to go for it on a complete expansion and reno. John and his crew were great to work with, and we are so happy with how our home turned out.

John and his team at Iron Bear really knocked it out of the park. Excellent finishes at my home in Brick. He worked with us closely as we are selling and needed to meet a date. Exceeded expectations and will recommend to anyone in the area!

John and the Iron Bear team built an incredible second-floor wraparound porch for us. The craftsmanship is top-notch—truly exceeding expectations. When unexpected conditions required adjustments to the original drawings, the team adapted seamlessly and still delivered everything in an impressive timeframe. They were reliable, showing up exactly when they said they would and putting in full days until the job was complete. Communication was another standout: the project managers kept us updated with clear timelines, weekly plans, and check-ins to make sure every detail matched what we wanted. Overall, the experience was excellent from start to finish. I’ll be recommending Iron Bear to friends without hesitation and fully plan to work with them again on future projects.

Our addition project was a big undertaking. John was all over it and his crew took care of everything. Excavating, framing, plumbing, electrical, tile, cabinets, countertops and finishing. Our finished project was perfection. On to the next project!

John and the guys at Iron Bear Projects did an amazing job on our unexpected home renovation! From the time we started, someone was always there working on the project to ensure it was completed as quickly as possible. We worked a lot with Dave and Mike and were in constant contact with them throughout the renovation. Someone was always available to address any questions or concerns that we had which we really appreciated! Would definitely use them again for future projects!

John and team at Iron Bear Projects went above and beyond to make my bathroom reno exactly what I imagined! I was overwhelmed with the idea of this project and they were extremely patient with all of my asks, and had amazing suggestions for me to upgrade my space. Everything was handled by them with meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail. Couldn’t be happier with my modern beach vibe bathroom 🙂 I highly recommend John and Iron Bear Projects - pleasure to work with!
