This past summer my wife told me her dream was to have a farmers porch. A couple of months later we…read morebegan construction. The project involved several contractors including carpenters, an electrician, and masons. We selected Steve Nicholson to complete the masonry work which included some excavation, structural concrete walls, a walkway, and stone veneer. The masonry portion of the project was about 20k and went on for weeks. A couple of weeks into the project, Steve asks me if I plan to cap the retaining walls. I obviously responded telling him I was under the assumption that a completed retaining wall would not leave beautifully veneered walls exposed with concrete filler falling out (see image). Steve then charged me an additional $800 to cap the walls. A few days later Steve asks if I plan to waterproof the wall, I told him that if it was suggested then yes. Steve gave me a price of $500 to complete the waterproofing and we agreed to waterproof the wall. Eventually we reached a point in the project that Steve needed to let the carpenter finish the stair treads before Steve could finish up the last few square feet of veneer, Steve left the job site and was slated to return in a day or two before the building inspection was expected, but Steve didn't show up. Weeks later Steve comes back to the job site. Steve had to finish the aforementioned veneer, my bottom stair, and waterproof the stonework. Steve completed the veneer but the quality was much lower then the rest of the job (see images), Steve was unhappy we progressed through the project before he finished the bottom stair. After a couple of hours, Steve informed me he was done and needed to return. He hadn't completed the bottom stair (see image), didn't properly veneer around my stair tread lights (see image), or waterproof yet but that he would be back in a few days if the weather held up. A few sunny days went by and the rest of the project had been completed weeks prior. I contacted Steve but got no answer, so I left a message but got no response. A day or two later I text Steve, I even offered to accept the $500 waterproofing refund and that I would finish the waterproofing and bottom stair myself but still no response... My carpenter reached out to Steve as he had worked with him in the past and hoped to get a response. Steve responded to the carpenter and informed him that he would not be returning. Once I heard Steve wasn't planning to return I called two more times, got no answer, and left a message. Steve let me down I trusted him to standby his work and finish the project. After several weeks of work and personally interacting with Steve everyday, he seemed like a good guy but unfortunately that's not the case. Steve stole my $500 and never completed my stairs. So the good news is my wife's dream has almost come true, now that I know Steve won't return I will finish things up myself. It's to bad I paid for a 20k headache, it looks like others have reported similar instances on this thread. OWNERS BEWARE, IF YOU LIKE YOUR MONEY DON'T GIVE IT TO STEVE! DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND CALL ANOTHER MASON!

I had previously scheduled a sealcoating job with another East Bridgewater company. However, they were a no show, no call on the TWO dates they told me they were coming out to do the job. I contacted Lawrence Sealcoating via their website on 7/13/15 for an estimate to sealcoat my driveway and minor crack repair after the aforementioned issues. They responded immediately advising that they would be by to provide an estimate. I e-mailed them again 4 days later to see if/when they were going to stop by to provide an estimate. As a result of my e-mail, they came out and provided an estimate. Although they were a little bit higher than the other company, I elected to go with Lawrence Sealcoating because I had heard good things and wanted to get the job done. I e-mailed Lawrence Sealcoating on 7/18/15 to advise them that we received the estimate and would like to move forward. I asked when they would be able to stop out to do the work. Today is August 10, 2015. It has been three weeks and I have not received a phone call, an e-mail, a letter or any other type of communication from Lawrence Sealcoating. Therefore, I am now going with another company. Their lack of communication/customer service is horrible. I would not recommend unless you are looking for a contractor with lack of communication, follow-up/follow through, etc. A few years ago during the recession, contractors would respond immediately, communicate well, appreciated the jobs/pay, etc. I guess that is all forgotten.

I was a bit shocked at first however they are doing a lot more work than I even imagined. Example; my home is antique and well over 100 years old. Reinforcing and leveling the floor took about 2 weeks but when the project was done the floor repair was totally necessary and added so much to the finished result. Also if you are hoping the project will be done in a few weeks, it might, however the bigger the project the more chance for delays. Pros: I was communicating with a team of extremely competent people. Each is a specialist in a narrow field. Greg has an incredible sense of design and really digs into the details. Sonja handles the crew that does the prep, construction and heavy lifting. Mylia coordinates all products to be ordered. Special shout out to Bill who handles anything going on with all the crews. He returns your text or call in a minute or less and remembers every detail of your project. No regrets for me.

Needed to add a kitchen and two full baths, as well as closets, move beam and add a laundry area. It came out fantastic. This group--from Tracey Perry's help with design (amazing!) to Mike Heinrich's detailed budget which they stuck to and Bill Schmidt's communication on every detail, it was actually a pleasant experience. I highly recommend this group. In between my two projects with Cape & Islands Kitchens I did another property with a well known, popular Falmouth builder (hint: begins with an "L"). It was a DISASTER. Do not be fooled by the lower initial numbers--you will pay in the end and the quality of work will suffer. I am so glad I was able to do this renovation with Cape & Islands Kitchens!

I specifically told Allan that I was concerned the job would be rushed if it started that late and asked him to make sure quality wasn't sacrificed just to get it done. He assured me multiple times that the work would not be rushed and that everything would be done properly. Unfortunately, that's exactly what happened. The steps were essentially slapped back together with little attention to detail. Boards were misaligned, gaps were inconsistent, and sections of the steps were installed directly against the shingles instead of being properly fitted and finished. After I raised concerns, Allan promised the issues would be corrected and personally assured me everything would be made right. Based on those assurances, I gave the company a second chance. After the crew returned, communication stopped and my text messages went unanswered. When I eventually returned home and inspected the work, the steps were in even worse condition. The PVC decking was scratched and damaged, and the installers drove screws directly through the decking without properly pre-drilling for the matching plug system. As a result, the holes couldn't even be plugged afterward, leaving an unacceptable finished product. In hindsight, I should have terminated the project after the initial installation and walked away from the deposit instead of giving the company a second chance. Unfortunately, the corrective work was worse than the original installation. Based on my experience, I strongly recommend using a different contractor.

I would love to have the work speak for it self. ---- We were blind sighted with this "contractor" by the initial lender at the last minute. He found a way to remove our chosen contractor about 10 days before closing. I will go right in and forget about the book long details. The work he did in the home, his professionalism and his lack of regard when it comes to his dealings with people is deplorable. See attached pictures: The roof leaked in the same spot that had prior issues before full roof replacement was supposedly done by WC before we even moved in. The panel vinyl siding he"installed" is laying in the bushes and not on the facade were it once was. The nails used to "hold them in place" are rusting, which seems to me weakens their life. Its warped in some areas, the gutter leaks and the paint inside the home looks as though 10 year old apprentice on their first day of class did the work. The paint is see through on every wall in this house but one. The paint quality he used is not adequate for all rooms especially the bathrooms and kitchen. There's no real coverage and anyone who enters knows the color the rooms were before. He never attempted to really paint the trims. The brush strokes never touch in the trim. Our ceilings have paint from the brush touching them in (every room). His work failed it was trash from the start.
