Worst contractor I've ever hired. So many red flags telling me early on that these folks were not…read moreprofessional that I should have listened to. In the end, they took about 18 months to complete the job, were over budget, and did a terrible ob on multiple things. They may be okay for simple, quick projects, but do not, I repeat do not, have them do anything regarding tiling or grout. Terrible job done by teenagers (maybe twentyish) who clearly didn't know what they were doing and had no oversight by the owner, Mark.

North Shore Builders replaced our old wood deck and stairs with composite over a year ago and…read moreeverything is holding up very well. Very happy with the results.

He was extremely knowledgeable, patient and kept us informed at each stage of the work. He and those on his crew absolutely knew their trade. The results were clean, precise and totally fabulous. There are lots of contractors out there, but not many who actually know what they're doing. Milton is a shining exception. I wouldn't think twice about hiring him for any carpentry or construction work.

If you need carpentry work done, look no further than Pierre Martin at PM Fine Carpentry in…read moreWaltham. He and his able assistant, Tony, have all the basic qualities you want from contractors: availability, honesty, fairness, punctuality, and high-quality workmanship. They are fun to work with, too. But this is the kicker: everyone else likes them, too, which makes getting the job done quickly much easier. The people in the Building Department like and trust them, thus easy to pull permits. Insurance people like and trust them, so work can sometimes proceed before all their bureaucratic hurdles have been passed, e.g., bids processed with higher-ups. He also functions as our general contractor and is great at that, too. Pierre was recommended to me by an architect who had worked with him on the construction of an addition. The work he is doing for me is the complete reconstruction of the second floor of my 1789 house (exterior walls in) and the replacement of my roof structure. My house will need a lot of work in the future, too, and I will never consider anyone other than Pierre Martin and Tony.

When it was time for us to do a major renovation, we invited them to give us a quote with other contractors. We ultimately chose them, although they were not the lowest quote. We chose to leave our home during construction to give them freedom to do their thing. Not only did Paul work quickly and efficiently, but during the job, he called frequently to keep me updated, and he came up with ideas to make the space more usable and modern. Rather than keep 2 old fashioned pantries, he had an idea to pull off the doors and order cabinet frames and doors and extend the kitchen into the hallway. He pulled out the insides and reengineered them to our custom specs. The result was that for minimal cost (hundreds of dollars) we got much more functionality and efficiency. We ended up adding to the kitchen and dining room job. What did we add? We removed popcorn ceiling, painted hallways and stairwell, painted master bath and bedroom, redid two upstairs bathrooms and more. We came home to a new house in April 2021 just as covid is (hopefully) winding down. What a gift Paul is. I'm happy to show the work that Paul and his crew did. He employs the best subcontractors and partners with them to ensure they are working together well. You can't go wrong with Paul and Barrowclough. Paul is a master carpenter.

We had an excellent experience with Tom Barrowclough Contracting on our recent home renovations…read more Tom met with us promptly after I called to request an appointment for a quote. Our project included a new roof, siding and all new windows. Tom delivered our detailed quote within a week or so. Our project started mid July 2018 and was completed last week. We were informed by Tom that the foreman, Paul Newman and crew would arrive at 7:00 am on a Monday morning, which did happen. Going forward Paul was in communication with us daily informing us of the next days schedule. All coordinating of product delivery, plumber, electrician, plasterer were under his supervision. There were no delays even with the August extreme heat. The crew of 3 were courteous and worked consistently through out the day. All materials were cleaned up at the end of the day. We requested some additional projects and the crew all worked together and made it happen. This included painting all the new window trim and a few rooms and ceilings. What impressed us the most, beside the quality of work, was that the Barrowclough team took our project and ran with it while consulting with us if needed. We would rate our experience as 5 stars and will use Tom Barrowclough for our next home project. Pat and John Dunn

Branor, Brianna and staff were consummate professionals. Always very polite and helpful. They took the time to hear my concerns and expectations and addressed them with clarity and honesty throughout the renovation process. I never felt pressured into any "upselling" that usually happens with other competitors. Prior to going with East Lynn Construction; I met with approximately twelve different contractors. I went with Branor due to his personality, family values and attention to detail. It felt that my best interests were always the priority and the experience was so refreshing! All the employees seem to take great pride in their work ... as if they were working on their own home. The craftsmanship and attention-to-detail was the best I have ever experienced and kept me at ease. They made my home exactly the way we had envisioned it and couldn't ask for anything more! The before and after imagines speak for themselves.
