    New composite flooring for front deck
    Vanita W.

    Terrific job done by Boston Framers! We had contacted seven other contractors before getting such a positive response from Boston Framers. Our initial inquiry was sent on a Saturday, but the owner, Ruy Barbosa, replied within an hour. He met us the following workday to go over our needs and discussed various options. He projected confidence at being able to renovate our deck yet maintain its overall look. He was willing to work with us and the city's historic commission to preserve some key features of the deck. During the course of the work, Ruy and his staff were responsive to questions or changes that we requested. Communication with them was great. They were eager to please us and found ways to make the project stay on-time and within budget, even when curve balls were thrown at them. Overall, they renovated our dilapidated deck boards with composite flooring. They removed heavy railings and pillars, completely overhauled the structural supports, installed the composite flooring and finally replaced the railings & pillars. Additionally, we had them pressure wash and paint the deck. The cost associated with the structural supports and flooring was very much in line with what we believed was reasonable. We liked their work so much that they have also redone our rear porch & steps. Currently we are waiting on estimates for three more home projects. Before and after photos attached

    Sunroom

    Henrique and his team did a great job reframing and refinishing the sunroom on my newly purchased house. The walls and floors had bad rotting and damage due to the previous owners' neglect. Henrique and his fixed the damage, made the room much more weatherproof, and made the inside far far nicer than it was before. Henrique also had great suggestions on how to improve, rather than just repair. My wife and I are extremely happy with how everything turned out.

    Ruy and his crew did an excellent job on the second floor deck rebuild. They fixed up the rotted section, patched the roof, added framing, and put in new deck and railing. The work was great with clear communications throughout the process. 5/5 would recommend.

    Ruy and his crew are fantastic. He was so responsive, that I waited a year to get back to him and he still got back to me right away. We had a 40 year old sad, terrible, wood deck, that was sinking at one end, replaced with composite. It's beautiful now. The work was impeccable. He did exactly what I wanted, and was checking in along the way to make sure everything was how I wanted it. The project was done quickly, one day the crew showed up once a rainstorm stopped. I would never have expected them to work on a rainy day, but they were on it! All of his workers are friendly and polite. Ruy and the guys did some troubleshooting and fixed up an issue we had with our clothesline pole, because they are awesome. I got four quotes for this deck and Boston Framers was the best price and gave us what we wanted. One company told me it would take three months to do the project and they couldn't start for months. Ruy started when he said he would, and finished when he said he would. I recommend Boston Framers wholeheartedly!

    As the 5 Star rating indicates, we had a great experience with Ruy and the Boston Framers team. We moved into our home in October of 2021 and knew that at some point in the near future the old 20 X 15 wooden deck had to be rebuilt. We knew we wanted a low maintenance deck and preferred Timbertech Azek products over Trex. We communicated with the Timbertech sales team for samples and for a recommended contractor. Boston Framers was one of the 3 recommended contractors. We received 3 quotes and felt most comfortable going forward with Ruy and Boston Framers based on our interactions, his timely responses, knowledge, experience with Timbertech and the many 5 Star reviews. Work began sooner than we expected and the project was completed on time and per the quoted price. No surprises, no disappointments. The quality of their work is excellent. He has built a team that is attentive to every detail, communicates immediately when decisions must be made and provide recommendations on what will look best. In addition to the quality of work we were pleasantly surprised by the respect they all showed us the customer. Ruy was always on time and communicates via text at lightning speed. His team is polite and works hard even when the August temperatures hit 100. The team cleaned every dirt mark and finger print on the new construction and removed all the old debris before they considered the job complete. We look forward to contacting Ruy and Boston Framers for the future projects that we are considering.

    We asked Powell to repair several areas of rotted/damaged wood and paint the exterior of our house…read more They did a fantastic job, for a reasonable price, and well within the expected timelines. The carpentry is beautiful and looks original. The paint job is expert, even in areas that are challenging to reach. They even replaced a few broken panes of glass. The crew was extremely professional and performed high-quality work. The project manager, Andre, checked in twice daily to ensure we were happy, give us updates, and answer any questions. We are delighted with the work, and would highly recommend Powell.

    Working with Powell has been one of the best experiences I have had as a new homeowner…read more I reached out to Powell to see if they would be willing to paint the basement room in the townhouse that serves as my movie room\home office. The color that the prior owners picked while nice was a bit too dark for such a small room. They responded to my inquiry the same day and arranged a date and time to stop by and look at the room. Bryan and Andre arrived exactly on time and took a look at the room. Super friendly, patient, and willing to address any questions and concerns. As part of the renovation of the room, I was planning on replacing the carpet and asked him if I should do it before painting the room or after. He strongly suggested to replace the carpet first since the installers tend to scuff the baseboards terribly as they are ripping the old carpet out. I followed his advice and did the carpet first and sure enough the baseboards were in such bad shape after that had I painted I would have had to repaint them. I'm so thankful for that. On the day of the job, Bryan and Andre introduced me to Freddie who would be painting the room for me. Super friendly, professional, and honest. After grabbing the paint, he laid down tarp to cover the brand new carpet and got to work on the walls. It's amazing how quickly he was able to paint this room. It felt as if every move was calculated. What's more impressive is that he conversed with me the entire time! During the end of day 1, Freddie called me over and informed me that the two coats of paint that the quoted me for the job would not be sufficient for cover the walls and they will need to grab another can of paint. I asked him how much extra would I need to pay on top of the quote and said nothing. They told me it would take two coats, it didn't, so it was on them to make it right. Freddie told me he already informed Bryan and he would stop by the paint store tomorrow to grab another can of paint on their dime. I wasn't expecting that at all but greatly appreciated it. In the early afternoon of the second day the room was done. I thanked Freddie and waited for the paint to dry before heading down to plan out moving furniture back in. It was then that I noticed that there were some areas in the room that we not completely covered. I reached out to Stephanie and she called back soon after and told me that Freddie would be stopping by again later the SAME day to take a look. True to their word, Freddie stopped by and took a look at the walls now that they were dry and he confirmed the coverage issues. He grabbed paint and did another pass on the walls which removed the old color. After Freddie departed I started to notice that that wall color is much much warmer that I expected. I tried various color temps on the lights to no effect. I took a look at the sample patch in the other room and confirmed that it looked very different and that maybe I might have made an expensive mistake with the paint choice for this room. On a whim I took a few pics and emailed Stephanie with my concerns. I figured at this point they'll I'm crazy and I didn't expect to hear back. After all, I chose the paint color, they painted the room perfectly, their task is done. An hour after I send the email I get a call, it was Bryan. He looked at the photos, and saw the same thing that I have seen, and he and Stephanie have been trying to figure out the root cause. It turned out that there was some miscommunication and an incorrect shade of white was used on the doors and trim causing white walls to become warmer than they should. He apologized and asked to send a couple of painters the following day with the correct paint to address. I already felt bad about Freddie having to come back so I told Bryan not to rush but he insisted. He knew I took the week off to clear out the room to get it painted, and he wanted to get the job done so I have the weekend to put everything back together so I can work on Monday. 7am the following morning Andre and another painter arrived with the correct paint and took a little over an hour to repaint the doors and trim. As soon as I stepped into the room the walls immediately cooled down. And the state of the brand-new carpet after they were done? Spotless. I love the room now. Snow like color make the room feel bigger and more comfortable. It's easily my favorite place in the house. If you're looking for painting service for your home and are within the service area don't bother looking anywhere else. It's not just the quality of their work (which is outstanding), it's their level of accountability. They will do everything to ensure that the job is done and that you are happy. They came back to my home at two separate occasions to complete one room and I didn't pay a penny more than what was initially quoted to me. I cannot recommend Powell enough and can't wait until I can get them to paint other areas of the home.
