Can Keeps be used by women?

[@StudPack]

At the end when Jaime said "Most people said we shoulda bulldozed this place, but I disagree" that was key. The ability to build something from the ground up and at the very end you step back and say 'this place looks like it's been here the whole time' is something special. The cut nails, reclaimed wood for porch roof, floating stairs, all stunning details. Love it 👊

[@qgc3426]

Some times it makes more $$$ sense to bulldoze and start from scratch. Other times $$$ be damned. Keep with the traditional and rebuild. I believe you always want to keep to traditional. Retain and reclaim.

[@PerkinsBuilderBrothers]

Hey thanks! I’m pretty sure it was a lot more work than just building a new house from scratch! Definitely has more charm than most houses being built these days though!

[@galvanizedgnome]

100 percent tear down

[@PerkinsBuilderBrothers]

That’s exactly what our dad said

[@chrisbabbitt4202]

@@galvanizedgnome At first I would agree if was a permanent residence. However, they are jumping on the Airbnb bandwagon. So the idea of this being a rebuild and it has history to showcase, I'm guessing, would attract more people to rent it. And judging by the dates booked, it is doing, or will be doing well. Especially at $260 per night.

[@craftedworkshop]

Incredible work, Jamie. Seriously gorgeous, especially that staircase!

[@ozarkdaredevils]

Amazing work , most people would of tore it down .

[@Hardjaxl]

What a beautiful place! Kudos to Jason for made it almost by himself.

[@jaimeperkins9606]

He’s such a great guy…

[@zacharymurphy7004]

Where would this house be if not for Jason? 😂 dude … Jason is awesome!!! Love that guy!!!

[@jacobusjohannescaspers4476]

He surly put his soul into his work, just fantastic

[@DoctorPrepperMD]

Such a great job showcasing the value of the trades. Not only can you give new life to this place, you create a museum, a family gathering area, employment and online entertainment! Really great job!

[@wilkdog1582]

Perfect end to my Sunday. Walked the dog, clean the yard, done home work with the kids, had my Sunday roast dinner, now lay on the sofa watching a new vid from my favourite channel before back to work tomorrow

[@electricrenfro1480]

I feel like we all can be proud of Jamie and the crew for the desire and follow through to preserve this place but bring it in to the 21st century and ready for another 120 years.

[@jeradmiller4575]

I've been waiting to see how the staircase turned out. The reveal did not disappoint! It's incredible!

[@terminalvelocity6398]

Wonderful work. Not only did you showcase your building skills, but you also did your community proud in the process.

[@clydenakashima7393]

Jamie what a great job you and your crew did in rebuilding this house. Too many times old houses are torn down because the cost to rebuild is cost prohibitive. It was nice to see you save this one.

[@dannyfults3148]

The look of pride on Jamie’s face says it all! Good job Jason you NAILED IT!

[@boomitsgeorgio2355]

As a young carpenter I appreciate Jamie more and more every episode. He makes me excited to continuing learning

[@derekludlow]

Jaime, you need to start your own channel renovating houses like these! Your online personality and ability just rocks. Thanks for sharing the final completed tour. Can’t wait to see what you do next.

[@funtyes1970]

he does have his own channel he just don't upload any videos lol ......I think Jamie don't want to be bother with KZbin probably why Erik does all KZbin stuff

[@עומרויסקי]

Hello, my name is Omar, I am from Israel. by profession I am a renovation contractor I watch all your videos, every week waiting for the new one. From our tiny country the houses you build look amazing and full of inspiration. The house in Bryson City makes me want to come and visit. Right now it's a dream. Thank you very much and that we will just continue to build 🙏🏼

[@jaimeperkins9606]

Thanks for the comment! Let’s keep the building going..

[@TheExcellentLaborer]

That is a great renovation! I like how you did the 4 foot spacing on the exposed beams. OK I got to get back to laboring. Thanks for the video!

[@hugoakerlund5114]

Honestly I think that this is the best project you have on your channel. It honestly looks better than any of your other builds so far.

[@kevinmuzikar2037]

Such an amazing transformation! Thank you for “saving” that place Perkins crew. Beautiful. Your hard work shows Jason.

[@OUTDOORS55]

What a great job you guys did! Super impressed! Anyone can build new, not many can do old houses right👍

[@marcusperry8622]

True craftsmanship, inspiring work!

[@ГеоргийУрсаки-г5э]

Wow, so much work is out to it, I would have never bought that house because it’s so old. God job and God bless you Jaime and Eric Perkins and your family and all who work with you!!!

[@funvideos2633]

I visited Bryson City this past summer and drove by this house several times. I stopped and looked at the exterior and was excited to see just how great it looks in person. Great job to Jamie and the guys. Job well done.

[@amazon4716]

This was cool. Should have done a full remodel series.

[@kaydenpat]

Excellent job rehabilitating that shell of a house. That’s now a gorgeous, well designed home. The transformation is unbelievable. I especially love the loft area.

[@Nick-hm9rh]

House looks amazing. Definitely has old country vibes while not looking shabby. Id def crash in there anytime

[@lin3bass]

Nice one lads. In a world so divided atm watching craftmen, pride and hohnesty is a refreshing and beautiful. Bless you all and Jason

[@ThomasSlayer]

This is really really really amazing. Best house finish I have seen on any channel. Guys you can be extremely proud in what you do and who you are.

[@DoctorPrepperMD]

You saved some serious history. @ years to save over a hundred years!!!

[@BryansThailand]

5 stars guys ✨️ watching all the play list on this renovation is spectacular. Been following you guys for a year and a half seeing all you building work is fantastic. As a fellow builder from the UK building homes in thailand I always refer your videos to my clients so they can see how it should be built . Well done, keep em coming 🙏🙏🙏👌👍🇹🇭

[@DoctorHayduke]

I especially like the small radius section of rail in the loft. I've just taken up welding and I love it. I'm making all kinds of neat welded stuff in my bus build-out. Great job on the renovation.

[@joshuahomer2928]

I was missing the rental reno videos! Thank for the update! Great job Jamie!

[@codyjones7475]

This is one of the coolest projects you have done and probably my favorite! Keep up the good works guys.

[@robinimpey101]

👍👍 Hazel House turned out great.......and it only took 5 times as long as it takes to build a house from the ground up! 😄

[@robertkreiling1746]

My late wife and I had the most delightful visit to this town about 20 years ago . And we ate dinner twice at Theo Thudpuckers place . Lovely town I would love to visit again , but not by myself . Great job !

[@hr1551]

man that is piece of art!!! Wish I was young again to take a different career path.

[@William.Knight]

I was fortunate to have walked through this with Brett during the reconstruction. Really amazing to hear all of the little details, all the challenges, and see the care that has gone into preserving a piece of Bryson City.

[@GB-ue6wr]

This would be a complete money pit for someone who was not a contractor - or even for a contractor. But as a contractor, you can absorb some of the building costs. The house looks awesome! I love the way you guys build.

[@LarryStrawson]

Jamie is a man amongst men standing tall! I love that you restored the house (and didnt doze it) and did an amazing job to boot. Did you do all the interior design? or had a helping hand?

[@sdtok527]

Restoring these sorts of houses is very good for the community!

[@Danielism]

You can see the labour of love in that house

[@gregsidel3557]

You know I have watched a whole lot of your videos when you're building a new home from start from scratch but when you take an old house pals such as this and you have to strip it and basically rebuild the whole thing and do what you guys have done you guys deserve a big Hand because you guys have done a beautiful expert job I've got to hand it to you you're a little bit of stuff goes a long way it's really gratifying to watch you guys Build something Thank you for the video

[@wesgraham9588]

Good Job Guys! I remember doing a lot of remodels, I learned a lot from fixing an remodeling somewhere fun some weren’t, you guys have a good night !

[@thepagan5432]

Another enthralling series watched. The choices that were made were so sympathetic to the original house it was a joy to watch. Well done to all, so glad I found Perkins Builder Brothers. Thank you for posting this series, much appreciated.

[@zacharymurphy7004]

DOOOD… amazing work. Absolutely stunning. I get lost in these videos. It does me happiness to see an old gem restored to its glory.

[@markwinnett9365]

You and the whole crew do a spectacular job on all of your projects. As a metal detectorist I especially love the finds display. I remember about 7 years ago, going to Bryson City to take my Grandson on the Polar Express train ride. We actually parked right in front of this house while we did some sight seeing before the train ride. Great job glad to see it restored instead of razed!

[@patrickklepper3641]

I've watched just about every single one of your videos and this might just be my favorite. That house is magical!!

[@PerkinsBuilderBrothers]

Hey thanks Patrick!!

[@Iamthathillbilly]

Wow this place turned out stunning. The attention to detail is par none

[@azengland100]

What an amazing place, and such a great display of Jaime's craftmanship. Just stunning. Makes me want to come and visit No. Carolina...

[@wk6976]

What a great display of fine craftsmanship. I really like it when Jaimie gets to talk. The staircase is sowell done. Thanks for sharing.

[@rgarlinyc]

Wonderful job, Jamie and crew! It was the right thing to do to restore it to its former glory. and not just raze it to the ground and build something 2020'ish. Two years? Amazing! And Ashley's beautiful Hazel House sign is the perfect top-off to it all!

[@TinManKustoms]

Beautiful house. Rebuilding a old house can be a challenge but the skills learned and the memories created will last forever. Keep up the great work

[@vinnypinatelli221]

Such a beautiful home now who ever stays there is a lucky person!!!!

[@c.wombatz]

What an amazing restoration! This is yet another example of the focus on quality craftsmanship that your crew always seems to uphold. Well done, guys!

[@idontthinkso666]

Thank ya JESUS!

[@King_DTA]

@Perkins Builder Brothers I really appreciate you guys , I absolutely love and enjoy your videos and just retaining and learning from y’all. I’ve been maintaining and running my own small solo contracting business as sort of a reboot from my first one I lost when I was young and going through a divorce.. and I had been dealing with loss and a bunch of tragedy in my life as of late and my only “saving grace” if you want to call it that , has been my nightly routine of coming home and decompressing and binge watching you and your brother do amazing things.. I would give everything to spend even a day on a job site with you guys quite literally, and I would absolutely take full advantage of all the knowledge and experience from y’all and be a sponge. Thank you so much guys ! And great job ! My top 4 is always going to be Perkins builder brothers, stud pack, awesome framers and Kyle with RR buildings

[@adubbelde1]

I have a friend in Minnesota who's business is custom staircases. He makes curved floating stairs. They are generally layers of plywood bent around a curved form. Some of his staircases cost tens of thousands of Dollars.

[@jaimeperkins9606]

Sounds awesome! I was thinking to myself…what would I have to charge someone if I was doing for a customer..? I never came up with a number

[@ohasis8331]

That's one sweet little project. It shows age but with a modern look, a great little combo of the old and new.

[@bigal9078]

Great job Jamie. I appreciate watching this reveal more than any of the home reno crap shows out there. This is real craftsmanship as opposed to studio hired labour

[@simplyeasydiy]

I've always been a fan of craftsmanship over efficiency. Job well done.

[@paulnamaste]

Great job with the restoration Jaime! The place looks awesome. Good luck with the Air bnb aspect of it. We will pass on the word for folks headed out that way.

[@DewaltFanboy]

Talk about not giving up on something. That was incredible!

[@salvadorsepulveda6415]

Great Craftsmanship gentlemen, your eye to detail and creativeness was spot on. Blessings

[@Tuurs]

fantastic build

[@trevordennison9115]

Wow, that restoration was... amazing!

[@humphshumphs]

Stunning looking renovation. Thanks for showing us the completed house.

[@briansboucher]

that shadow box is incredible. historic and a beautiful piece of art.

[@palettetools6461]

Great job. Awesome amount of work. Many people will appreciate this house long into the future. Old charm and new function, best of both worlds. This house is something special.

[@michaelmorris7410]

Beautiful job Jaime and crew!!! Beautiful house for beautiful town. My wife and I love Bryson City and all of its charm! Again great job.

[@callowyellow]

The before and after transformation was amazing, hard work definitely paid off!

[@RalphIII_]

Amazing and cool job! Congrats for this remodeling. More videos like this 👌 It is an art working in wood and metal. Others 120 years of live for this home 👏🥇

[@lorismith8887]

I was in Bryson City in June and got to see just the outside. It looks amazing!

[@Natedoc808]

I am currently doing this same thing on a beautiful piece of land in GA. Exterior frame and roof only and a good amount of that had to be repaired as well. We are rolling the rest of the joists tomorrow, and the. Subfloor on Sunday, interior walls on Monday!!! Then onto the additions of 1K sqft and a 1K sqft garage. It’s going to be something special

[@ridgiesmakingit]

"Awesome" - its a joy to see what you did to keep some heritage in your town - A1 .

[@vintageMIDI]

I routinely stop by this channel to start my week with inspiration for the next leg of home projects; great work Perkins

[@Hondo1126]

Kirk Cameron approves of all of Jason's work!

[@denniscounts1983]

A labor of love, good job.

[@firemanj35]

Wow thats a lot of work. Most people would have just demo-ed the whole thing and build from scratch. Awesome

[@GottMusik08]

Incredible that Jason rebuilt this entire place, completely by himself. Working through the night in solitude. Just one man, his sheer force of will, and about 1,000 subway tiles. One Twenty Main: Built of yellow pine and sarcasm. (Seriously though, amazing renovation, guys!)

[@jaimeperkins9606]

What would I do without Jason…?! Thanks

[@clscurlock]

Beautiful job, guys! We have a nearly 100 y/o house that we want to renovate but could really use some input. This video has proven helpful! Of course, if y'all are bored and want to make a drive to East Tennessee to see our house, let me know!

[@iTriguy1]

Beautiful house, amazing craftsmanship. It is so awesome to see people who still take pride in their work.

[@shmubob]

Its beautiful. When I can fly again from the UK and have my long planned US roadtrip Im definitely gonna have to make a detour to Bryson City and try and stay!

[@hokie888888]

I was down in BC this summer and saw the house in person. It was gorgeous. You guys are true craftsmen. Well done!

[@machone1757]

Jason taking the Credit LOL Beautiful Reno Team Perkins

[@mikearmstrong655]

Beautiful work , love that you used fiberglass, that’s my trade . True craftsmanship boys

[@techamekka6211]

Whow so creatively designed and crafted to perfection. The Stairway is really a Masterpiece. I love also the idea of integration of the old staff you found. Great Job!

[@chet174able]

Very nice craftsmanship Jamie. Something to leave behind and others to enjoy.

[@jasonking2943]

That's awesome....the stairs wow !

[@robertastewart-fite1337]

Very much enjoyed watching the process and bringing life back to the forgotten past.

[@MrSF247]

Those stairs really amaze me. Jamie, you truly are an ingenious craftsman.

[@rafaelvazquez7465]

I always say it wouldn’t have taken me so long to build this new house if there wasn’t this old house in the way

[@tonygorton1874]

Living in Chattanooga, and of course being a long time fan of the channel, I think it’s only right to book a stay an see you all’s craftsmanship in person! Great job Perkins Crew 👏🏽

[@michaelaburt1195]

Gorgeous! I would love to stay there someday!

[@mikkelwynkoop1014]

Totally beautiful guys. Love the whole old school feeling. Looks so bright and inviting.

[@darrenfarrell5690]

Amazing transformation....... Great job

[@ginass77]

Absolutely a stunning home! I love the staircase it’s beautiful. It’s nice to take a step back and look at the awesome job you guy’s did when your finished. It just goes to show the work ethic, the experience, and most of all the heart you guy’s have!! A very awesome job to be proud of… I guess all those people who said to destroy the property is coming by to see your awesome job on the Hazel House now. Great job guy’s!!

[@mahadden]

Amazing transformation! Awesome work!!

[@465maltbie]

Looks really nice, I enjoyed watching some of the build. Thanks for sharing. Charles

[@ramonajansen4663]

[@BWIL2515]

[@billdent7449]

Intentionally drove by the house today (11/28/23) just to show my wife the results of your work because she thinks I'm crazy for watching all of your videos. Imagine that? The Hazel House looks great!😊

[@Andersfraser]

Wauw Jamie & crew what a transformation 👍🏻😉 great job

[@LesterSuggs]

I just HAD TO buy an acrylic *cow painting* from Ashley Hackshaw. Oh, and the house is nice too.
