Loring W. Pratt, MD - Fairfield Maine 
"Mr. Sawyer made major repairs to our house and barn about 1996. At that time, there was some external evidence of damage from the weather. When he investigated the extent of this damage, he found that water had penetrated the exterior of the building and had caused serious internal and structural damage to the frame of the building. He meticulously removed and reconstructed the areas of decay and replaced the exterior surface with such care and accuracy that one cannot tell where the old building left off and the new work
began."
"Throughout all of the work period, he exhibited a calm demeanor and it was a pleasure to work with him. At no time did he ever show signs of being temperamental or difficult in his relations with the homeowner or with the other workmen on the job."
"He is always willing to discuss the work in prospect or in progress and will present the pros and cons of a particular problem. At the conclusion of the discussion, he will agreeably proceed with whatever decision is made, but he will often urge the adoption of a plan that he believes will produce a superior result.
"At that time he expressed the desire to specialize in restoring antique buildings. He is now engaged that specialty."
"I can only give him the highest recommendations for his skill, meticulous attention to detail and ability to restore a decaying building to its original beauty. His honesty and integrity are above reproach."

Winslow Residence 
"Mr. Sawyer was very helpful and easy to work with during both planning and construction. We made many changes during construction, and Mr. Sawyer also suggested several changes that we have been very satisfied with. We appreciated his flexibility and willingness to listen to our questions and concerns. "
"We have lived in our "new" home for 2 years now, and are very happy with it. I would recommend Mr. Sawyer's company for any renovation or construction project. We found him to be easy to work with, and are happy with the quality of his work. "

Fairfield History House
"Mr. Sawyer worked most of the past summer restoring the Fairfield History House, the Queen Anne Victorian jewel of the Fairfield Historical Society. As President of the Society, it fell my lot to be the chief liaison between Mr. Sawyer and the Fairfield Historical Society."
"The house suffered from poor maintenance in addition to the ravages of our harsh Maine weather. There were many areas where water had penetrated the exterior of the House and produced large areas of hidden damage in the form of decay of the underlying structure of the building."
"Mr. Sawyer repaired and restored the House by preserving all of the original material that was in good enough condition to be salvaged. He replaced and restored those parts that were beyond repair. The result is a structure that has been restored to its original beauty and has the exterior integrity to withstand another 50 or 100 years of our New England weather. His workmanship is impeccable. All new materials were crafted to match the original structure and the areas repaired match exactly the original building."
"In addition to his skill as a workman, Mr. Sawyer is an easy person with whom to work. He is always pleasant, willing to discuss the pros and cons of a particular problem and employs assistance that is equally pleasant. To summarize, Mr. Sawyer is a skilled craftsman, knowledgeable in the restoration of elderly buildings, and it is a pleasure to work with him."
"I am happy to have the opportunity to speak well of his work and the relationship he developed with the Fairfield Historical Society. I recommend him without reservation of any sort for any work he feels qualified to accept."
