I received Jeremy Lucia's name in a list of masons from Trowel Trade in Colchester. I was looking…read morefor someone to repoint two sides of my house's foundation. I called/emailed about 5 of the people on the list. Only 2 were immediately responsive (one was Jeremy). His quote was higher than the other guy, but it also included more services and was more detailed. After doing some research and talking to many people (and changing my scope of work and having to have people come out and give me new estimates), I decided to go with Jeremy because his quote was the smartest and took into account my real needs (not just my needs as I perceived them - I'm a new house owner so I'm pretty clueless). On top of being the most responsive and having the most intelligent quote, he actually showed up and performed the service when he said he would (even my best contractors often don't show up when they say). And to make things better still, I had the work checked out by my exterminator (part of my problem was mice entering through the foundation of the house) and he said the work was excellent - truly top notch. I've been working with various contractors now for 2 years on my new house and have pretty low expectations in terms of customer service and communication (because let's face it, contractors don't seem to be very good at that even on good days). Jeremy exceeded my expectations in every aspect of his work. And for that, I'm very grateful. Thank you! I would highly recommend him based on professionalism, work ethic and quality of finished product. I never had to worry with him or check in on his work or wonder where he was. If you want a worry free masonry experience (which is worth tons in my mind) with a reasonable price and a high level of service, I would definitely choose Jeremy.

Bill and Kyle Thwait lead an outstanding Team of very hard working and exceptionally skilled…read moreworkers. I have had a lot of contractors from many trade work for me for upwards of 40 years and it is quite easy for me to say no company has ever exceeded my expectations in the way the Thwait company has. I highly recommend Bill and his Team to anyone (residential or commercial needs) who has an excavation / septic/ land management need. They work hard, smart and leave the job site in emasculate shape every day no matter how much they have to excavate to get your building or other site preparation project completed. For as long as I am on this side of the Earth, the Thwait company is my one and only choice for excavation work of any kind. Thanks for all you have done and we are not done yet! So I'll be calling soon. Chris Rottner Lake Placid

He demolished the pad for our existing wood stove, built a new pad, and installed our new 560 lb. Hearthstone Heritage stove using a leverage technique he invented on the spot. From estimate to completion, 7 days. Even 12 inches of snow on our steep road didn't keep him from the job. He and his helper were meticulous in every detail and involved us in the design process every step of the way. Nice guys and very pleasant to be with.

I hired Morning Dew to take care of a laundry list of jobs: weeding and mulching flowerbeds, adding…read morefines to walkways and paths, cleaning up a stone wall, replacing a chipped patio stone, and brush-hogging. Matt, the owner, was very pleasant to work with, and made sure nothing on the list was forgotten. I was out-of-state while most of the work was being done, and Matt kept in touch by text and by sending pictures. When I asked if he could send pictures of work done by another contractor at the site at the same time, he not only sent them, but he also went to the trouble of calling to explain the details. He also made an extra trip to the site to take care of minor cleanup that I couldn't do while I was away. I would be happy to hire Morning Dew again for a large or small job.
