We were looking to replace a very old wooden privacy fence, much of which had fallen down in recent…read moreyears. We are in Boston where the houses are close together, and our yard has a significant slope in the back. We got estimates from several companies and we went with Durable Fence because they were very competitive and the on-line reviews were excellent. The work turned out to be a challenge because our neighbor believed we were building the fence on her property (which we were not - it was a foot behind the property line surveyed by her surveyor). The first day of construction started out with our neighbor screaming at us (including at Felipe and his crew), and at the end of that day, we received a cease-and-desist order from our neighbor's lawyer. It was only after 9 months of back and forth with lawyers that we could resume the construction. Felipe and his team did a spectacular job with the fence under tense conditions. If we hadn't had the trouble with the neighbor, I would still give Durable Fence 5 stars because the construction was outstanding. The fence is very sturdy and absolutely beautiful, the cleanup was superb, and they were very careful with our shrubs and bushes along the fence line. Felipe was a total professional throughout the process, and was unbelievably patient with a situation that took so long to resolve. I can imagine that other fencing companies would not have been so patient. I'm so glad I went with Durable Fence - I would give them 6 stars if I could!

Our Brady Built Sunroom is 33 years old. It was the best investment we have ever made. We have…read morehad to replace a few windows but that's not bad considering its age. It owes us nothing. I had a friend over to visit whom I hadn't seen in years. She walked in and said "Oh, you have a Brady Built"! Her brother had one in his house here in Mass. and was so disappointed when he had to move to NJ. He wished he could have taken the room with him. The Brady Built service has been very responsive and helpful. I would definitely do business with Brady Built again and I highly recommend them.

I'll start by saying that the room is beautiful…read more I'll follow that with, its been rough going. I also want to give some overall advice to not put a hot tub in your sunroom unless it's a HUGE space. It's not worth the hassle and we truly regret the decision. Ours is roughly 200 square feet, which isn't teeny - but clearly not big enough. Despite the design team's assurance that they "install hot tubs in sunrooms all the time" - in the years and years that they have been in business they clearly don't understand the electrical codes that come along with adding a water component to the space. You can't have any outlets or fixtures within 5 feet of your hot tub. That includes the ceiling. We wish this was explained to us. If you are going to go ahead with a tub in the space here's some lighting and electricity considerations: Get track lighting cans built into the room. Yes, you'll lose some glass but you'll save on headaches. Two of the three pre-wired lighting areas that were put into the ceiling cannot be used due to the proximity to the tub. We already purchased all of the lighting elements (track lighting and a fan) over a year ago, as we were instructed to during the design phase. We now have two big silver circles in the ceiling that we'll stare at while we sit in our hot tub. The fan is the biggest bummer. It was something that we really wanted and were told that we could have one, "no problem." The circular light fixture bases that are standard on any lighting element are also larger than the ceiling beams and hang over on both sides of the wood. (see photos) It looks terrible. We would have made a different lighting choice all around if this was explained to us. It's too late to change this. We are stuck with it. We were also sold a super-high-tech de-humidifier fan that wasn't installed properly by the folks at Brady and we are in the midst of figuring that out. God help us if we have to rip open the walls, re-plaster, etc. but it looks like that's where we are headed. And also, while not an electrical issue, we would advise adding a drain to the floor near the tub. A lot of water comes off your body as you get in and out. More than you think. Even on a waterproof floor, we wish we would have put one in. Overall, be sure to check the plan details CAREFULLY, and follow up with Kevin: We were provided the final designs for review and corrected the way the sliding doors were supposed to go and it was never corrected on the final designs. Normally not a huge deal, except that the hot tub is currently blocking the entrance. With everyone clamoring for remodels and with all of the people out due to Covid cases, it's taken over three months to get the correct doors. We are still waiting. Using "their guys": The general contractor from Hillcrest Siding is awesome. Very communicative, considerate and a great craftsman. If you have your own electrician that you like, use them instead. The electrician was not reliable or communicative. We are sensitive to the health issue his family was undergoing, but you need to communicate and keep folks informed. Top 4 Takeaways: 1. Don't put a hot tub in the space unless you have your own electrician review the plans. Our lighting situation isn't great and we are stuck with it. 2. Kevin disappears after the sale has gone through, so don't expect him to take accountability for any of the missteps. Poor Kathi. 3. Don't have the expectation that your room will be up and running 2-3 weeks after it's dropped in from a crane. Site prep started the week of Labor Day. The room was delivered on Sept. 23. We couldn't use the space until Dec. 17. A stick build onsite would have taken roughly the same amount of time and would have been less people to deal with. 4. Budget roughly $10-20k more for your room to pay additional contractors to finish the space. And I'll add that my husband put in the floor, we painted and put in baseboards and the door frame ourselves. Compare the final price to a stick build and see what's worth it.

Beautiful Flooring. Disapointig customer service experience…read more I recently purchased and installed LVP I purchased from DEBSAN in downtown Natick. The flooring is beautiful but I am disappointed in the way a few of the personal interactions went. 1. I always do my own measurements so I can estimate costs while shopping.. The installer Debsan sent came up with a number that was 70 square feet higher than mine. I had another installer give me a quote and his measurement matched mine almost exactly. If their installer was this careless doing a measurement, what type of job would he do? I went with the second installer. DEBSAM has a strict no refund policy. If I had not done my own measurement, I would have paid for an additional 4 cases of flooring plus extra install costs, since they charge by the sq.Ft. That would have been hundreds of dollars more. 2. The flooring arrived 3 weeks before the project was scheduled to start. When I went to pick it up, I Was told by Valleri that a threshold was missing, but it would be in soon. On the Monday morning of the install, I emailed Valleri to find out about the threshold. I let the installer know we were missing the threshold and he suggested we could use one of the other transition pieces. He showed me what it would look like, I liked it and went with his suggestion. Valleri finally got back to me at the end of the day on Tuesday, after the install was completed by-the-way, and told me the vendor had been waiting for "Clarification" and had not sent the piece. I told her the job was now completed and I no longer needed it and asked for a refund. From her response, it seems either the vendor or Valleri made an error which resulted in me not recieving the piece on time. Since an error was made, I asked for an exception to their no refund policy. Valleri's response, "Sorry. Too late." As of the writing of this review, which is 4 days past the completion of the project, I still do not have the piece they are insisting I pay for. The piece cost $45.00 plus shipping.and the total sale was about $4,200.00. Now that $45.00 is not going to break me, but it felt like a total lack of respect and caring about their customer. You do better price wise at a big box store or online, but I paid a little more because I thought a small business like theirs would go the extra mile for their customer if something came up. That is just about the only thing a small business has gong for it over the cheaer discount stores. I was wrong. You may not get personalized service at the big box stores, but the chain stores and online vendors all allow you to return unopened boxes and unused finishing pieces. The flooring for this project cost 4,200.00. I purchased flooring twice before from them. One project cost 1,800.00 and the other was around 3,000.00. I remember the days when being a loyal repeat customer meant something
