I cannot even begin to say how great a job Richard did for us. He is such a kind guy, he's fairly…read morepriced, his work is excellent and he really got to know us and make us feel special. My husband and I have been remodeling an old two family for the past two years and of all the contractors we've hired, Richard was by far the best. He's responsive, replies to text and email, and keeps you updated on the progress of the project. He did our whole kitchen cabinet set, our bathroom vanity and installed a very oddly shaped back door. Throughout the whole process, I trusted him in my home and that he would finish the job. Anyone looking for new cabinets, big or small projects, I can't recommend Richard Gray enough.

We asked Richard to help design and build a custom cabinet/entertainment center/desk for our…read moreconverted bedroom to den in our Beacon Hill home. We found Richard to be a consummate professional from the beginning and throughout the entire process. He worked with us to understand the design aesthetic we were looking to achieve, and helped us choose wood and finishes which would most effectively complement the design. His measurements and fittings were impeccable. Once the design was chosen and the construction began (off site at Richard's workshop), Richard was excellent at keeping us updated as to how the project was proceeding and what our timetable was looking like. When it came time for installation (about a week), all of the components arrived and were put expertly (and neatly so) into place. The result is a beautiful, high-end built-in unit which looks great in our home. We could not be happier with the result of this project. I would not hesitate to recommend Richard Gray for any carpentry project and we expect to be calling upon Richard for other carpentry needs we will have.

We needed a new porch for our 1920's colonial. Mike from LJR met with us, analyzed the situation in…read moredetail, and gave us well-explained options regarding materials, timelines and aesthetics. Friendly, professional, and efficient, Mike and his crew gave us a result that was even better than we expected. As a favor to us, he also recommended an electrician for a separate issue and we were completely pleased with his work, too. Most importantly, we are very happy with our new porch, recommend LJR highly, and would happily work with them again on any project!

I have used LJR for many projects over the years and they have always done exceptional work. From…read morejobs as small as installing a new bedroom door to as large as overhauling an entire commercial building they can do it all. My favorite thing about working with them is they ask me about every detail down to the exact placement of mirror or the color/type of a light switch. I hate when contractors make decisions without asking the property owner's opinion and with LJR you will always have the final say. They are also very neat and clean and always put down tarps and keep the dust down to a minimum. Most importantly they are meticulous with finishes and will not cut corners. I highly recommend them for any job and I will use them again and again for future work.

We recently worked with Wander and his team to delead our home, replace 23 windows,…read morereplace/weatherize an exterior door and reglaze our bathtub. Our experience with Wander was fantastic from start to finish. Wander promptly responded to all our questions during the quoting process and came by multiple times at our request to ensure we were fully informed about the process, timelines, and expectations. He worked with our schedules to ensure minimal disruption, which we were very thankful for, having an infant son. The project was executed seamlessly and Wander kept communication open with us the entire time. He was proactive in telling us that a few extra days were needed to complete the project. We couldn't be more happy with the results! His team went above and beyond, even touching up and painting different spots inside and outside the house that weren't originally in scope, at no extra cost. The team kept a clean work environment and left no trace that they were even in our home. When a few minor issues were identified post-project, Wander was quick to address them. We will most certainly be reaching out to Wander and Crane Carpentry for our next renovation project.

Wander is professional, quick to respond, fair in price, and always willing to stop by to discuss plans and progress. We were so pleased with his work on the deleading, that we expanded our work with him to include a near-gut renovation of our kitchen, whole house painting, tile work, and some custom carpentry. All were done quickly and at a high quality. I can't complain at all. I highly recommend Wander for really any project that you have, but especially custom carpentry work.

While this work did not involve a lot of carpentry, I'll share that Paul was: - Incredibly responsive. He answered my call asap and came the next day to help as planned. - Persistent. This thing was really stuck and Paul would not give up. He got it out after an incredible amount of work. - Courteous. Paul cleaned up everything after the job very thoroughly. - Went the extra mile. Paul noticed that we were missing a plug on our disposal so he drove to the hardware store, bought one, and came back to install it, saving me the trouble. All of this speaks to Paul's character and work ethic. Should I have any carpentry work, I would not hesitate to call Paul. In fact, now that I have his number, I'm dreaming up carpentry jobs!

The entire Our House team is amazing, I knew it was going to be a good fit from the initial…read moreconsultation. Steve knows what he knows (and what he doesn't stating he'll get back to you - which he actually does), knows he's got a strong team behind him (he's collected the best of best from years in the business and he'll tell you so - but he's not saying it in a way that comes across rude or a hard sell, he's just stating a fact) and everything supports that! After living in our house for 10 years I knew the kitchen could be better, I just didn't know how. I made it clear to Steve that I would need the options and associated cost laid out so we could make an informed decision, we knew the scope creep possibilities could be endless! Steve assigned us to Amy (the visionary and Alex whisperer) and Alex (the engineer, pro CAD user bringing Amy's visions to life) and from there we were off to the races. We ended up taking down a wall and removing the chimney, which led to moving heating, electrical, and some plumbing to the upper floors; we removed two windows and a set of French doors, replaced by one big window and a single door to the back deck. A BIG project, estimated to take 4-6 months, and they came in right at the 5 month mark! Another key selling point is they are familiar with and took care of the entire permitting process - which for anyone who lives in Somerville knows, is no easy task in our city. It was an explicit criteria I had as we were seeking bids. Reid was our project manager, he was on site almost every day and absolutely amazing in terms of addressing any questions. Pat was our safety officer, but also a PM of sorts - he made sure there was limited dust, and overall everything went smoothly because of his attention to detail. When there was a mishap with the dumpster and our relatively new paved driveway, Pat declared, "No dumpster!", they removed trash manually every evening and fixed the pavers at the end of the project. Kevin is a MASTER carpenter, super kind, smart, and generous with his time. When he asked me how I wanted the crown molding in a weird doorway alcove, I told him I had no idea! He walked me thru the options, was patient with all my questions, and shared his opinion what would look best. It's gorgeous. The best example, is we saved our unique door and window trim to incorporate into the new window & door. No one believes me when I say the new kitchen window trim is actually comprised of 6-8 pieces of trim! It's beautiful and a masterpiece! (Also Kevin and team listen to great music and would be awesome karaoke partners!) Brian (plumber), Wayne (HVAC), Joe (electrician) - also amazing. Answered all of my questions, their teams are very courteous and clean - no one entered the house without introducing themselves. And a shout out to Paige, the designer, who saved us countless hours by narrowing down options! We are in love with our countertops. But the biggest compliment comes from friends and family when they see the outcome - they all day the same thing (aside from its amazingly beautiful) it looks like it was meant to be! Thanks to Paige we were able to update & make our kitchen more function, without losing the period feel of the house which is now more open concept. Communication is key, and aside from the workmanship and skill of Steve and the entire Our House team, the fact that they listen and work WITH you is what makes them stand out. As other reviewers have stated, you get what you pay for. This was not the lowest bid, but what we got in terms of process management and importantly the END RESULT was well worth it. We are saving up for our next Our House project!!

We absolutely love working with Our House! If you like contractors that communicate well -- and…read morelisten well! -- you'll love them too. We've now hired them for several projects around our house: a bathroom renovation, a new retaining wall, a new basement foundation, a new set of stairs, and a huge attic renovation project including two giant new dormers installed. We've hired other contractors before for other projects in our fixer-upper, but once we found Our House, we've only worked with them since. OH is really good about doing what they say they'll do when they say they'll do it (while notifying you of any changes), and they're super responsive via email. It's clear that they take pride in the quality of their work, too. When we had an issue with water in the basement almost a full year after the foundation was poured, we emailed them about it and they were out the next day to see what they could do to fix it. Through all the work they've done for us, our project manager and architect were amazing about checking in with us every step of the way to make sure everything was exactly the way we wanted it. Furthermore, when you have lots of construction projects going on in the house you're living in, you don't realize up front just how dusty everything is going to be. It's impossible to contain ALL the dust, but man, do they do a really good job of trying to keep your living space clean. They contain the area they're working on behind a plastic zip wall, and more days than not, they vacuum/sweep the areas they had to track through your house so that they're keeping the mess behind the curtain. We also have two cats that we weren't willing to rehome while construction was going on, and OH put up extra zip walls to help us confine them to the first floor while they worked on the attic so the cats wouldn't get out or get in the way! OH may not be the lowest bidder for your project, but you definitely get what you pay for. They're honest, timely, and professional, and each and every time they've completed a project for us, the result is beautiful. I can't recommend them highly enough!
