We were extremely pleased with the workmanship of the cabinets. He and Justin were very easy to work with and had many great ideas in our process. Small details like creating a spice drawer under our cooktop is an example of the extra touch that makes the kitchen complete. We especially love our soft close cabinets and brand new drawers. His painters and cabinet workers were on time, courteous and always cleaned up after the days work. The finish product exceeding our expectations. We would recommend him highly and have already recommended him to several of our friends who are considering any type of remodel. Looking back at our pictures we cannot believe we did not do this sooner!

Dave and his crew, shout out to Angel, remodeled our 1966 bathroom with custom made cabinets, new wall texture, new paint and new tile, sinks, fixtures... everything! It looks beautiful. We, believe it or not, enjoyed having the guys here working for a few months. Angel was our main worker and what a professional! He truly knows how to do everything and does it well! After the bathroom was finished, they tore out the tile in our entry way and replaced it with hardwood floors. Then they took out ( ripped out/demolished) our flagstone fireplace surround and replaced that with a marble surround. They did a great job on everything and brought us into the 21st century! I am thinking of another project so I can have them back! I highly recommend Dave Fontan and his crew.

The project…read moreinvolved demolishing a wall to create a peninsula between the kitchen and dining, soundproofing the ceilings, installation of all new cabinetry, and updating the electrical and plumbing. From the get-go, Noel was prompt, responsive, and worked on schedule. He came out to view the project, worked up an estimate within about a week, and was able to begin work about 6 weeks after I hired him. He told me the project would take about 6 weeks to complete, and he was right on schedule. His subs all did excellent work and were helpful with decision-making on the fly (a huge perk if you are working without a designer, like I did). Noel is also really helpful with decision making, such as where to place cabinet pulls, how much of an overhang looks good for countertops, etc. Noel is calm, capable, and extremely hard working. He and his team are respectful and a real pleasure to have around, which is so important when you consider that they are going to be in your home daily for many weeks! I'll definitely be working with him again in the future. Can't recommend him highly enough.

I really love working with Jim because I can bring him in, tell him my "vision" and he lets me know what's realistic/affordable and what can't or shouldn't be done. He is very responsive, honest and follows up/fixes any issues. His team Al and Jaimie are hard working and respectful. Al especially is very thoughtful about how to approach things, really thinking everything through and checking/double-checking things. They always show up and communication is very good. Jim's cabinet guy/team is also really great. We have one more big house project that we will look to Jim and team to do in the future, no question!

We had several projects...remove a fireplace, install a closet, install shelves, fix a wall, etc. Many of these items were extremely dusty although we barely noticed this thanks to the containment unit they installed and the diligence of the workers to remove their shoes. Tommy had a great crew working on our house and he checked in every morning and often every afternoon to make sure the project was progressing as expected and that the quality was high. On one occasion there was a small issue that came up due to a miscommunication and Tommy took care of it in a most professional manner. I highly recommend TNC Construction. We are pleased with the final product and will definitely look to use them again in the future.

For our project we replaced the foundation and rebuilt our entire basement, coverting it to an additional floor. Our house went from a 2 bedroom 1 bath to a 5 bedroom 3 bath with an additional large family room. We worked very closely with Chris Burnham and his superintendent, Chris Donatelli, during the entire process. First off, Chris gives realistic expectations regarding budget, time estimates, and potential problems or issues that might come up during construction. Some other contractors under-bid to try to get business. Also more inexperienced contractors don't anticipate all of the potential problems that can arise during construction. Chris is respectful of your budget but honest about what to expect in terms of budget and time estimates. Chris and his crew were always professional, prepared, and on time. During the remodel they worked very hard to help turn our vision into a reality. Our intention was to create a seamless flow from one floor to the other and make the remodel look as close to the original 1920's construction as possible. It was therefore necessary to hire carpenters, brick workers, and other skilled craftsman for the remodel. Chris only hired the best people, so we know that every element of the remodel from plumbing to carpentry was done to the highest standards. Chris is a perfectionist and has pride in his work. He made sure everything was done correctly, and fixed things without prompting that we did not have the expertise to notice. We moved out for 6 months of the remodel and had to move back in before construction was completed. He was extremely accommodating and went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable. On the rare occasions that there was an issue with water or heating, he came on nights and weekends to fix the problem. He even came on a weekend to let us into our house with the spare key when we locked ourselves out of our house one day! Chris did not disappear toward the end of the remodel and made sure to complete everything on the "punch list". He has even come to fix the occasional issue or problem months after the construction. The best part is that he doesn't do it grudgingly- he has true pride in his work and wants his clients to be happy with the finished product. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Chris Burnham, Chris Donatelli, and his whole crew. They have the talent and experience to carry off any type of construction project out there, no matter how complicated. If you hire them you will not regret it!

When we got the house, the kitchen was too small and very old. We needed a bigger and more practical kitchen, so we decided to talk to Jack. We started out working with his architect and structural engineer in order to get a permit for remodeling. Once we got a permit, demolition and construction began. This was a huge project and took months to complete. The project seemed to take forever, but we couldn't be happier with the end result (especially me, who loves to bake at home). Jack was easy to work with, communicated throughout the project and very professional. We felt his pricing was very reasonable for the level of craft he provided. His crews were in and out with the job done quickly and well. They did a great job of cleaning up before heading home for the day, which made it easy for us to check out the work that had been done on a daily basis. We're thinking about remodeling our bathrooms in the near future, and Jack is our go-to person when it comes to home improvements. I highly recommend him!!!

Jack was super flexible. My closing date changed several times and he was still able to make it work. I was so happy with the work I'm having him update my kitchen now, and will work with him again when it's time to do my bathrooms.
