Dan and his crew did a great job remodeling my basement. Dan offered input and know-how during the…read moreproject that really improved the quality of life in our home. He was able to completely transform our previously cold and humid basement into the nicest room in the house. Additionally, he added a full bath, laundry room, upgraded the service panel, installed a French drain, HVAC system and egress window. His guys also build us a wall of cabinets and doors, really maximizing our storage area. A real life saver, you won't be disappointed. Professional, reasonable and knowledgeable I would recommend Aureli Construction for any project.

Dan and the team at Aureli Construction are fantastic! They've tackled multiple projects at my…read moreplace, including a second-floor addition with three bedrooms and two bathrooms, with 2nd floor laundry (which was Dan's idea and a feature I cannot live without now!) The great thing about Dan and his team is even after the construction was done he still answered my calls and has come back to do several additional projects years later. Most recently, Dan and his team finished my basement. It has been 8 years since the initial renovation and I am still super happy with the work and quality! What really sets Dan and his team apart is they listens to their clients and hears their request and concerns. We had one minor setback in my project and Dan's commitment to resolution was impressive. In my experience, no project is 100% smooth so knowing that Dan and his team can overcome the snags is HUGE to me! If you're looking for skilled professionals who deliver great results and truly get your vision, I highly recommend Aureli Construction. You won't be disappointed - they exceeded my expectations!

Jeff is terrific!…read more There was a leak in our kitchen which we knew was coming from the only full bath, one flight up. We thought it was the shower. Jeff came in, gave us an estimate for replacing the kitchen ceiling, and we agreed to go ahead, knowing that whatever would have to be fixed in the upstairs bath would cost extra. My husband and I were honestly expecting it would cost another 200% or more. Jeff found the leak (it was the clean water source for the toilet tank and not the shower at all), showed us the problem, and went ahead and fixed it. He redid the kitchen ceiling and painted it, all with minimal disruption to two people who work from home. And the extra cost? It was an additional 33 1/3% (or, an additional one-third added to the initial estimate)! Clean, quiet, professional, fast, smart, I cannot say enough good things about him!

J.L. Stone - competitive pricing, quality service…read more Professional and personable demeanor; creative and thoughtful approach; proficient and exceptional workmanship. Last year, I hired J.L. Stone for an extensive house renovation project, including but not limited to, a kitchen, two bathrooms, and a finished basement. Upon the commendable completion of the project, I can confidently attest to Jeff's skill and expertise, most notably demonstrated in his carefully crafted tile design and excellent carpentry work. Jeff listened patiently, offered helpful suggestions, was agreeable to most requests, and when presented with a challenge, was up to the task. In fact, my favorite feature is the herringbone patterned backsplash in the kitchen, which he meticulously custom-made - a real masterpiece! Overall, my experience working with Jeff was positive, enjoyable, and collaborative. He transformed an old, tired, and ordinary house into a fresh, modern, and remarkable home.

I was introduced to Ian through a friend, during the peak of pandemic where it's such a struggle to…read morefind good contractors with availability. I cant say enough about IDR and his crew, they are extremely easy to work with, honest and hardworking, and delivered beautiful results. They helped to fit our project in their timeline, including moving and reinstalling cabinets, configuring layout, *absolutely beautiful piece of art* backsplash, and change of a back exterior door. His crew helped me realize my vision with many custom configurations and designs professionally! He's currently helping us with our second home with a larger project of bathroom addition and kitchen island addition, and I think we will hire him without a doubt for any future projects too!

My husband and I bought a new home in Cambridge in need of a kitchen renovation. We found IDR…read moreConstruction via Google and Yelp reviews and we were very impressed with the reviews and pictures of IDR's work. Ian took the time to talk on the phone when I first reached out about the project and the scope of work. He even reviewed some drawings I had done of the space and pointed out some things to think about for the layout (such as if we moved the fridge, we'd have to make sure we could access a water line for the ice maker). Ian met with us at the house to talk about the project, and we engaged Ian and IDR shortly thereafter. All told, the renovation took about 4 weeks, which was a great timeline and we are very pleased with how it came out. Ian was responsive, polite, and overall a pleasure to work with, and his subcontractors were polite, unobtrusive and cleaned up each day. We were fortunate in that we had a clear vision of what we wanted (which made the design process easy), but Ian truly helped bring that vision to life and thought of ways to make it better that we hadn't thought of, all while never being pushy or disrespectful. We highly recommend Ian and the IDR team and we look forward to the opportunity to work with him again.

Joe worked on my house this summer, fixing a lot of structural issues (installing lally columns,…read morere-pointing the entire foundation, sistering beams, replacing the front porch, built a walk-in closet, etc.). His quality of work is excellent and he always finished on time or early. I would highly recommend Top-Notch Custom homes. I am a first time home owner (since July) and we had him start right after I moved in. When we were discussing the contract, he was kind enough to point out certain jobs that I could do myself and also showed me how to do it, thereby saving me money. He also gave me tips on other maintenance aspects of the house (the advice was very useful).

Halliday is interested in large projects, but they did me a favor in taking on a pretty small…read moreproject at my house: replacing the front deck. From start to finish, these guys are professionals. They handled the permitting, design, materials, framing, and finish work with great attention to detail. Jared Halliday talked with me about important decisions and shared updates on the process. Each afternoon, the area was swept clean. The end result: A beautiful, long-lasting deck with a strong foundation and proper flashing. I recommend Halliday without reservation.

If you are looking to get a job done the right way the first time, call Halliday Construction! We…read morehave used them several times over the past 5 years. Some projects have been big (complete kitchen remodel, window replacements) and some have been on the smaller side (replacing doors). No matter the size of the workload, each member of the Halliday Team was extremely professional, respectful and knowledgeable. When making recommendations for materials, Halliday made sure we had options that were budget conscious without compromising quality. They were always on time and left the worksite clean daily. I would use them again and recommend them in a heartbeat!

Anjo Home Improvement did an incredible job with building my new deck. I was hesitate at first…read morebecause I found them on Yelp and it wasn't through a referral, but I am extremely happy with the work that Joe and his team delivered. The reason why I chose Anjo over the other contracts is because I could tell Joe was very detailed oriented. He showed up with detailed architectural drawings of my new deck and that level of detail continued throughout the whole the process. Everything was done with great detail. The building inspector at the end of the project even commented on great Joe's work was. I highly recommend Anjo Home Improvement. They showed up everyday and got the work done in the timeframe they promised. And Joe provided me with fair pricing. I know I won't have to worry about my deck for 30 years. Just hire Joe and his team, they won't let you down.

Great Initial Work - But Refused to Finish the Job…read more Finishing Touch has a very talented crew - really impressive work. Unfortunately, as they seemed rushed to get to other jobs, entire sides of our house were left w/o the 2nd (as contracted) coat of stain. The differences between fully finished sides and the single coat walls are obvious - friends & neighbors consistently point out that the painters "missed a lot"... When we contacted the owner, Dave Depillo, he insisted they had done the 2nd coats. He even claimed the sides above the garage had 3 coats. He'd actually originally made that claim to me the first and only time he was up there. I called to discuss it and have him come meet me to look it over. He arrived earlier than arranged, met my wife instead and proceed to YELL at her about the issue - screaming about saving us money over another estimate. Honestly, we'd rather pay more to have a completed project. A neighbor later mentioned a shouting match Depillo had started when he painted their house a few years back. Also noticed a yelling complaint on the company's Facebook page. Seems to be a pattern with the owner. Lastly, I was just putting up new exterior lights and spotted something on one of the shingles (painted by the owner himself). I looked close and found it had been BROKEN - then TAPED with blue painter's tape and painted over. Funny that a guy can insist on charging $200 to paint shutters (Aren't they part of the house?), break one and then use the cheapest materials to "fix" it and hide the damage. Too bad it turned out this way - the crew were truly talented and conscientious (apart from all the cigarette butts in the yard..) But if they're rushed off one job to do another then the company really can't be recommended.
