“I called Steve at South Shore Dream Bath on November 19 and he came out the next day for a consultation on tub to shower conversion. He listened to us and made suggestions and gave us a quote while he was here. We agreed and he told us it would take about 3 weeks to get the materials. Rich came to our house on December 10th and did the complete job in one day. We were very happy with his work and would definitely use them again.“
“What a wonderful experience this renovation was. This was one of my first major gut jobs in my home so I was very nervous. My nerves were very quickly settled once I sat down with Joe and Debbie to discuss the transition from start to finish. They are some of the best people I have ever met in my life. The communication, value, punctuality and cleanliness of the entire project was amazing. I didn’t even know that part of the house was under construction because of how clean everyone was! Thank you Joe, Debbie and Corey for a wonderful experience and I can’t wait to call for my kitchen in a few years!“
“Almar Building was a pleasure to work with. They replaced 17 windows and did a great job. Bob, Mark, Tom & Owen were awesome to work with and the job they did was perfect. Thank you Almar team!“
“I would highly recommend Eagle Build and Remodel for your roofing needs. As a home owner, having trust in a company is important. I chose them in 2019 for a roof replacement and was happy with the process and results. And then I contacted them again for recent storm damage repair. I will definitely consider them for future work on my second home. Please read on if you want to know more!
For the 2019 roof replacement, I got 3 quotes. The cheapest quote was from a company that advertises a lot on the radio. The highest quote was from a reputable company that wanted to place a port-a-john on the property. Eagle's quote was in the middle.
I like high quality stuff, but I am on a tight budget. Everone was selling CertainTeed shingles, so I called CertainTeed's corporate office to check on the fabulous warranty being offered by the lowest quoting company. In the process, I found out the lowest quoting salesman offered a 5 star warranty on a 4 star shingle. CertainTeed would not backup the limited lifetime/50 year warranty the local contractor claimed as a chief selling point. I took a strong pass on them. After thinking about the highest quote, I realized it had too many extras, like a secondary ridge vent.
What I realized was that the middle priced quote from Stephen O'Keefe was honest, straightforward, and didn't come with a high-pressure sales pitch. The proposal was for a normally priced roof replacement from a regular guy that wanted to provide a serivice to a customer. It had just what I needed. I liked that a lot.
When planning the job, Stephen took into account special requests I made. For example, I was worried about trucks causing walkway damage so he brought a smaller trailer to haul away the shingles. My neighbor's contractor had already damaged my property so this was important to me. Also, Stephen checked out the vent area after the first rain at my request. He reinforced it for good measure too. He clearly takes pride in his work. It's a bonus that he sends pictures of his roofing work!
After 5 years, and of course a pandemic, the roof was going strong. Then after 2 back-to-back storms my daughter-in-law saw a water stain on the kitchen ceiling. I texted Stephen O'Keefe on a Saturday morning and he got back to me right away. A branch had damaged the roof and he repaired it within hours.
I am going to add on another layer here just to show how much trust matters to a consumer, especially to me as a woman consumer. I had a water heater problem last summer with the runaround from 5 plumbers until the final job was done. Then I bought a gas stove. The wellknown appliance retailer subbed out the install for $300. When writing the gas fitter a check, he told me he liked me so much that he would drop the cost to $300 (the previously contracted price, gee thanks!). And when I had a flat tire, my husband sent me to my auto dealership for a plug. They refused to plug it saying it is illegal. This may be true, but I send in my husband with the same tire, and bingo, tire plugged! I could give you tons of other examples, but life is too short.
If you've read this far, you now know why trust is important to me as a consumer. I never felt like I got the runaround from Eagle Build and Remodel and would use them again!“
“CMC did a terrific job removing our existing driveway, regrading it so it drains properly and paving it beautifully. They consulted with me about specific details (adding a path to the garage door and a catch drain area under a down spout) and gave suggestions based on their wealth of experience. I most appreciated that Steve the owner not only did the quote, but was actively involved in the project with his shovel and manning several of the machines they brought (most other places have the owner or head guy quote, and the job rolls downhill). The all-English speaking American citizen team is well oiled, each with a role that they know well. And friendly, polite and professional, too. Our driveway is now fantastic. I highly recommend.“
“We've just completed the process of working with KAKS for the finishing of the basement of our house. I cannot say enough good things about working with Steve and every member of the KAKS team. After interviewing many contractors for the project, we decided to go with KAKS because Steve immediately seemed familiar with the many potential pitfalls of our particular basement situation. He was one of the most expensive quotes we received, but was worth every penny. I cannot believe how nice our basement turned out. He was excellent about communication from the beginning to the end. All of the tradespeople who worked for him were clean, professional, and kind. Steve is a great contractor and a great guy. Would give 6 stars if I could.Service: Basement remodeling“
“Alex and crew did a fantastic job installing new windows. Bill & Bob were a pleasure to deal with as well“
“We purchased a house in Norwell knowing it needed a new heating system. Bob and his son spent three days at our home installing a new system. Knowledgeable, courteous, a pleasure to deal with. My six year old daughter enjoyed exchanging jokes with senior and often asks when Andrew and Bobby will be coming back. Highly recommend.Service: Water heater installation“
“Mike is very professional from start to finish. He explained the process when I initially scheduled the appointment with him. When he showed up for the job, he was punctual. Paul came soon after to assist with the job. They did an amazing job. Prior to them leaving, we discussed how to care for the tub and sink and he also provided printed instructions on how to take care of the bathroom and how to extend the life of the bathtub/sink. Highly recommend“
“Thom is terrific! Mean that in the truest sense. I had a partial bath renovation that included new tiling and alcove bath. Tile job was perfect as was the necessary carpentry. Thom is a perfectionist and leaves worksite immaculate after each visit. His suggestions are on target.You may have to wait to hire him and have wiggle room for your project but he is worth it!“
“I had the best experience with LG Painting! They are so professional and did an amazing job painting my studio. The owner Gleason is meticulous and made sure everything was done to perfection. I highly recommend them!Maria Wood Studio’s Inc.Pembroke, MA“
“This builder is amazing. He is personable, trustworthy, and well worth hiring. If you want the best of the best, Call Bethoney Builders.. You won't be disappointed.“
“I would highly recommend Drohan Development for any of your home improvement needs. In 2021, we just had an addition put on our house in Marshfield. Jake and Jesse guided us through the entire project from the permit process to the final inspection. We love our new addition with two extra bedrooms and one-half bathroom- this gives us so much extra room. The guys were very easy to communicate with. They answered every call and answered every question we had. I would highly recommend Drohan Development.“
“Paramount Roofing Company showed up as planned. Their large crew stripped and repaired my 33 square roof all in one day! They used a high quality product and tackled all roof repairs as needed. The work was performed 6 months ago and my roof has been through major storms and extremely high winds without a single issue.Service: Roof installation“
“I highly recommend Derek Barnes Construction for home improvement jobs, big or small. Derek returns calls and texts promptly, is courteous, and provides expert advice on how to tackle a project in the most economical manner without sacrificing quality of workmanship. Derek and his helper Tom are true professionals. They arrive to work on time and work tirelessly until the job is done. Derek and Tom are meticulous in cleaning the area after each work day. Thanks to Derek we have a new sturdy back deck and front stairs that meet current safety requirements and looks beautiful. Derek and Tom also cleaned the gutters without charge. He is a gem, and will be utilized for any future repair/improvement project.“
“There aren't enough stars to express my gratitude for Shoreline Builders and the Wolffer family! We have had the great privilege of working with Shoreline on two home renovations. Most recently, we renovated a farmhouse built in the 1870's. Jim and his team worked with us through every stage of the project from the design, to getting approval from the historic commission, to repurposing the wood from the original house into one of a kind features. Shoreline helped us turn a crazy dream into our reality. I highly recommend Shoreline Builders!“
“I cannot say enough good things About Tru Design… I had an extensive kitchen renovation, which also involved incorporating a covered porch into the project to extend the kitchen and add a mudroom… I could not believe how well it went, and I lived in my house during all of the construction! Everyone who worked on the project was spectacular! They worked every day and on some Saturdays and never missed a beat. They were all great craftsmen and I am very pleased with the result. Ken, the project manager was extraordinary in coordinating everyone who worked on the project and making sure things ran smoothly. He came to the Project every day, first thing in the morning and last thing in at night. He also stopped in from time to time during the day to make sure things were going smoothly, and he really was magnificent! Amy, the kitchen designer was wonderful! She understood exactly what I wanted and also made me aware of things I didn’t know I needed!! She made the whole process very easy and the only tasks I ended up with were purchasing the appliances And going with her to pick out the quartz for the countertops and backsplashes.I cannot recommend Tru Design highly enough!!“
“Woodland Builders are amazing. Our project consisted of a bathroom remodel, kitchen reconfiguration, attic room renovated and an outdoor kitchen (design/install). We had done renovations in the past. Woodland Builders far exceeded our expectations. The crew (Steve & Rick) were amazing, professional and prompt. We loved our project manager Jay. He was at our home every morning to discuss the days work to be completed and was here at the end of every day to follow up on the days progress. We were always in constant contact with him via phone, text or in person. We highly recommend Woodland Builders.“
“Great customer service! They should be the benchmark for customer service, they knocked it out of the park.“
“I’ve used All Town for several years and they are amazing. Polite, professional, show up on time and get the job done!“
“Marlene and The Cabinetry are fantastic!!! I met Marlene in 2009 when she designed our kitchen renovation and supplied cabinets, countertops and a lot of vision. Having had such a great experience in 2009, when it came time to turn our playroom into a butler's pantry in 2014 The Cabinetry was my first and only call. Most recently, I worked with Marlene to design a run of cabinets for my church's renovated kitchen. For all three projects, Marlene and her team were incredibly responsive and a real pleasure to deal with. Her vision and her products stand the test of time and continue to stay in style - my kitchen turned 15 years old this year, and I continue to get compliments on what a beautiful and functional space it is! Thank you Marlene!!!“
