Our Story

My name is Chris Orme, and I founded CJO Builders to fill the need for high-quality, honest contractors in the Ashland, MA area. With over 20 years of experience in the trades, I started learning the ropes at 15, working alongside my father in roofing and expanding my skills through all phases of construction, including basement renovations. Today, I’ve built a team that shares my passion for delivering top-tier craftsmanship and personalized remodeling solutions.

Basement remodels are one of the most exciting projects because they allow homeowners to unlock the hidden potential of their home. Whether it's turning an underutilized space into a luxury entertainment room, a functional home office, or even a rentable ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit), we can help you transform your basement to suit your lifestyle and goals.
