I sent in a plan for a take-off for a 6000 sf house and got minimal assistance. After 1 month of waiting for a quote I gave up. No updates or feedback on the timeframe, I assume that they just hoped I would give up. Seems like a bad business model to me. There are plenty of alternatives I would advise you to avoid these guys and go elsewhere.

This past summer, Custom Contracting did a huge amount of work on our house. They built a new deck,…read morerevamped our bedroom, remodelled two bathrooms and a kitchen, and did a lot of painting. We were very pleased with the outcome. I want to especially recognize the stellar work done by Bryan Lamoureux, head carpenter. For years, I had nightmares that the second floor of the house was going to collapse. When Bryan took the kitchen ceiling back to the bare joists, he found out that somebody had cut massive holes in those joists to run a pipe through them. This made the house structurally unsound. Bryan showed us the holes and proposed a solution to make the house sound. The "bounce" that we experienced while walking around on the second floor disappeared, and so did my nightmares. Bryan is a superb young carpenter with old-school knowledge and values. Thank you, Bryan! I also want to recognize kitchen designer Jane Scammon. We told her what we wanted, and she immediately drew up an inspired design proposal for us. We bought tiles and cabinets based on her design, and we love the new look. Thank you, Jane!

The on-site manager, Jonathan, was great, and they gracefully and quickly responded to additional requests and changes of plans we requested, including entirely changing one of the windows. Even our neighbor reached out to tell us how nice and respectful they were and asked us how we found them. The answer is that I just saw that they were well-reviewed on Yelp, so I'm adding my review here too. Their pricing was very reasonable, and their work was exceptional. They replaced a shower system, which involved breaking existing tile and seamlessly re-tiling the affected section after the new shower was installed. During the process, they covered the opening with plastic so we could continue using the shower (even though it only took a couple of days). The re-tiled area blends perfectly with the rest of the shower (see attached pic). You'd never know it was repaired. They also repaired significant water damage from burst pipes, replacing and adding insulation and drywall, installed recessed lighting with dimmers, replaced a window and glass shower doors, swapped out an awkward set of swinging bathroom doors for a proper door, and took care of several long-overdue household repairs. Everything was completed quickly, quietly, and efficiently. If we ever need renovations in the future, we'll definitely be using them again.

But then never responded to text messages.

From the design phase to the final walkthrough, their professionalism and expertise were unmatched. The craftsmanship is incredible--the screen tension is perfect, the deck boards are beautifully laid, and they seamlessly blended the new structure with our house.

The project was completed on schedule. We now have a beautiful new living space, and I highly recommend Ed for any outdoor renovation! Martin Kane
