Affordable Carpentry

My husband and I have built two homes. For the first many years ago, we used a small builder out of…read moreBelchertown. They did a decent job. But in building our second home in 2011, we wanted a more experienced builder who could help us build our dream home. We had learned from our first experience and went into searching for a builder feeling well-educated in the process. After meeting with three high-end home builders, we ultimately chose Pecoy. Though their bid was not the lowest, we were impressed by the homes they toured us through and even more impressed when we checked references prior to making a final choice. From the first meeting with Kent and Suzanne, we felt reassured that they understood our needs and were committed to being partners in this process with us. Because both my husband and I have demanding jobs, our meetings were often in the evenings and on the weekends. Kent, Suzanne and the construction project manager, Don, always made themselves available to meet at times that were convenient for us. Both my husband and I exchanged literally hundreds of emails with both Suzanne and Don throughout the process, and both of them were extremely responsive. After 10 months we moved into a home that exceeded our expectations. Although we had our sights set on a particular style home, the Pecoy team made several recommendations along the way - and showed us examples of their recommendations in other homes they had built - which truly helped shape our vision. For example, they recommended expanding our garage to a three car garage which made for a massive family room above. With high ceilings, room enough for two sitting areas and a wet bar (a last-minute addition suggested by Suzanne), as well as a large space for the numerous toys and games our son uses daily, this room has become not only where our family spends most of our time together, but also a phenomenal entertaining space. We know first-hand that building a home can be stressful; however, this second and final experience building a home was an absolute pleasure. We found the quality of the people at the Pecoy offices as well as all of the tradesmen that worked directly on the house to be professional, skilled, and most importantly, passionate about what they do and how they do it. They all take a great deal of pride in their work. One thing I was particularly appreciative of was a call I received from Suzanne - not during the building process, but three months later. She was calling to ask how we were enjoying our new home. Our last invoice had been paid months prior, yet she was still providing such a high-level of customer service months after our build was complete. We have recommended Pecoy to two families who have also built homes. Both have raved about the experience and absolute love their homes.

He met with us to see our space, hear our vision and then made that vision come to life. There wasn't a day that went by, during construction, that he was not actively at our home - he not only managed his crew, but he also got to work himself. Lee's work is top-notch, and we couldn't be happier with the result. Often times, I find myself wondering whose house I am in - it looks THAT fabulous!

The entire process was remarkable in that, unlike others, Dave kept his appointments on schedule. He personally inspected the roof and delivered a review of his proposal in tremendous detail. He has a warehouse with all of the material he needed for my roof, so no excuses about shipping delays, cost escalations or backorders. He promised a mid May installation and actually came a week early. He even got the building permit from the Town, which some other contractors seem to forget. His crew was well-prepared, setting up tarps to keep the old roofing out of the shrubs and lawn, got the entire roof (36 squares) done by around 4:00 pm. Clean up was impeccable. New gutters were installed a few days later by very knowledgeable craftsmen who made some upgrades that were much appreciated. I have no hesitation to recommend Dave Miner for your roofing and gutter replacement project. It's refreshing to work directly with the owner of the company.

After we agreed on a price, things changed once he arrived. He added work without gaining approval first. In fact, we had told him in writing that the tenant might ask for more work to be done, but we were not authorizing it. He did it anyway and charged us. He was also not transparent about disposal fees until he was already on site and there wasn't much we could do about it. Not only did he lack transparency, but his overall professionalism was lacking. We had to ask, multiple times for an invoice for our records. The invoice terms stated Net 30 but he began harassing us to pay the invoice via text and email within hours of sending the invoice.

The project manager said that Anthony had done good work in the past and was confident in his skill level. But it got to a point where I wouldn't allow his crew to return. The owner of the restoration company asked if I would give Anthony a second chance to come in and complete the tile work. The bathroom floor was straightforward and came out good. But the kitchen was a bit more complex and about 1/4 needs to be torn out. I actually had to explain edging and bullnose tile to him. The pictures are just a small representation of what they considered to be finished work...they had packed up and removed their equipment. I was speechless. There was wall paint all over my cabinets and molding, molding paint all over the ceiling and walls, and gobs of joint compound. The demo crew set up a plastic containment barrier. When it was removed, Anthony's crew painted over the adhesive residue left from the tape. A breakfast nook escaped damage except for a 6-8 inch stain on the ceiling. Instead of using stain blocker, the crew slapped joint compound on the stain and painted over it without sanding. In addition to being sloppy, they clearly do not have the skill to work in old homes. Additionally, they took down the motion sensor to the security system, lost half of the unit, and hung up what was remaining. No one recalls touching it - that's a $350 replacement and installation cost. They also covered my Corian sink in paint, lost the paint covered garbage disposal stopper, used my mop bucket and left it behind covered in crap, and let tons of construction debris pile up in a pantry sink that has 114 year old pipes. The restoration company had their demo guys come in to try and clean up the mess, but unfortunately the ceilings need major remediation and I have to hire someone else to come in to clean up the poor caulking and painting. Work time was already extended at least 1 week because of mistakes and sloppiness. I got the distinct impression that Anthony was juggling a lot. Judging from the reviews, he should drop construction from his business model and focus on the landscaping.
