My wife and I have hired B&D for a number of projects (large and small) over the past 6 years…read more These projects included a full gut remodel of a kitchen, a complete exterior redo of a barn that included all new clapboard, windows, and roof, as well as new windows and doors on our rental property. Our experience could not have been better. Our experience with Paul, Lisa, and Tim (PM) has always been very positive. We have found B&D to be responsive, courteous, and actually finished our kitchen remodel a week earlier than they planned. We have recommended B&D to relatives who have had a similar experiences. We would hire B&D again without hesitation. M&M Somerville, MA

Beckmann Construction was overall great to work with. They are fairly priced, hard workers, honest,…read moreand truly care about making sure you're happy with the finished product. We had our kitchen renovated and even after we hit a major snag and had a few hiccups, they remained dedicated to completing the job well, rather than rushing through. There were a few instances where our finished surfaces weren't covered after installation and work was still going on (cabinets, countertop, floors) and it would have been great to have them protected right after installation without us asking, but nonetheless they always followed through on our requests and respected our wishes as the homeowners and the finished kitchen came out great. The crew was respectful and we always felt like they really worked hard to ensure we were happy. Beckmann construction very clearly knows what they are doing and are great at it. We would definitely recommend them!

Dream House Services has been our go-to contractor for years because the quality, reliability, and…read morecreativity is unmatched. Khanh and his team consistently do an amazing job providing a finished project that meets or exceeds our expectations, all while protecting and respecting our property. Khanh is the only contractor I trust to not only accomplish my vision (in detail and meticulously) but also NOT destroy my property in the process. He always makes sure he knows exactly what you're asking for. He confirms he can accomplish it and even suggests modifications to the plan to improve it, to give you the best outcome. The whole team will come to your home and spend a day prepping your space "Dexter" style. He protects everything and anything near or around the work he will do. I've never had a problem with damage to my property with Khanh but I have with EVERY other contractor, no matter the job. In the past, every time we chose to go with someone else because Khanh wasn't available (scheduling), we regretted it! Khanh is a contractor that pays attention to detail, respects you and your property, and gives you exactly what you paid for or more. He's the only professional contractor I will work with for my home.

His team took care of the existing space and provided quality work for the kitchen repair (wall, cabinets, counters, minor plumbing). Furthermore, Khanh had great insight and possible solutions to issues that occurred during the re-build. Dream House Services team was clear on their invoices and quick to update or provide context if there were issues or questions. The team was able to work with us on pricing and figuring out ways to re-use or re-purpose existing undamaged parts of the kitchen to keep cost low. Lastly, Khanh and team was able to stick fairly close to schedule even when material delays or additional issues discovered. I would recommend the Dream House Services team for future any future work

We hired RK Construction to do two projects at our home, a deck and a major basement renovation. I…read morecan't say enough good things about this team! They arrived on schedule, completed the project on time, and did a wonderful job. They use high quality products, took the time to educate us so we understood the decisions we were making, and have conscientious, friendly, knowledgeable staff. Dana, the foreman, talked with me each morning to fill me in on the plan for the day and answer any questions I had about the work. He was even helpful (and patient) with me when I had to delay the finish of the porch because we ordered a hot tub that hadn't yet arrived. They completed as much as they could without the hot tub in place, then came back to do the finishing touches after the install. They were respectful of my property and cleaned up at the end of every day - which is a huge plus for me!! We get constant compliments on both projects! I've worked with many contractors over the years but will be using RK Construction for all my projects going forward.

Well, I can't tell you what kind of work they do because they never bothered showing up and this is after rescheduling multiple times. I took time off from work to drive down just to meet them (and battle 2 hours of traffic). What's with these contractors doing no-shows? Business must be good to treat people like this. No, thanks. Glad they showed their colors before we engaged their services.

Unfortunately, my house was effected by the 2015 Boston snowpoccalypse. After four months of…read moreinterviewing a few non-ideal contractors, I searched Angie's List and came across Bryson Builders. Overall, for me, Bryson Builders was a great decision, because Peter, the contractor, has experience with the insurance claim process; he is not "salesy" and listened to my concerns/questions; and he had a thorough estimate that clearly outlined all the work that would be completed. Having never been through a renovation, the repair process went beyond my expectations. Given that my roommate and I were still living in my home through the process, it was not as bad as I thought it would be. The Bryson Builders team members were professional and treated my home well. For the most part, the work area was cleaned on a daily basis and I can see progress as time passed. Due to my schedule, I appreciated the flexibility in being able to communicate with Peter via phone or email. I received updates from Peter frequently allowing me to be mentally prepared and/or to prepare my home as necessary. The finished product is so amazing, from the quality paint job throughout the home, the installation of the countertops, electrical work, and the bathroom tiling to the roof replacement. Not only does my house feel more like home but I feel confident that my home can withstand another snowpoccalypse. I appreciate Bryson Builders' hard work, and really feel that things would not have worked out if I chose another contractor. Bryson Builders will be my go to contractor in the future.

Byggmeister was very good at protecting all interiors and keeping everything clean/not dusty in what can be very messy work. Responsive team that is extremely knowledgeable about building science. They also removed radiators (I've gone to all heat pumps for heating and cooling) and repaired my wood floors where radiators were removed so I have more space. I can't say enough about the quality of their carpentry,innovativeness in taking wood from closet to repair holes in wood flooring so matches incredibly well, and ease of dealing with Byggmeister employees. I'd highly recommend Byggmeister if you looking to remodel - have a historic renovation, to finish attic or basement- convert home to two units etc- especially because they are SO knowledgeable about incorporating energy upgrades in older homes as part of renovation. This is unique to all design build contractors that I have experience with.

It's beautiful now, and very solid and well-insulated (the opposite of its former state). They also replaced two basement windows, and our carpenter ant infested bulkhead door. Paul's crew were all very nice, interesting, hard-working, and talented people. Great communication throughout the work. Another reason I like them is that they are extremely concerned with the quality of their work - as opposed to those who are simply collecting a paycheck. They said that they will contact us to follow up after a year, and again in 2 years. Finally, they are very much aware of the energy efficiency of the structures they are building, and even brought an air-sealing specialist over one morning to ensure that there were no air leaks into the new crawlspace (what other firm would bother to do that, at least for a crawlspace?). If you go with a dirt-cheap contractor, you may pay less up front, but more over time through your utility bills.

I would absolutely recommend Steve and Stella Roofing Services. I have to say after the job they…read moredid today, I am not surprised seeing so many 5 star reviews about his work ethic and most importantly, his communication. When I decided it was time to replace my 40+ year-old roof after consulting with Steve, he told me truthfully that he would do everything he can as a local owner and a friendly neighbor (literally one street over) to help me in any way he could to take care of my need for a new roof under my financial limits. He made sure to address any potential issues, he assessed the inside attic space and made sure he didn't see any serious concerns before making any knee jerk assumptions like some do from a visual standpoint. Whether it be from the delivery of the shingles (which he communicated with me immediately to take care of a shipment error on the warehouse side before the job started) so that the job didn't start with the wrong shingle we selected !! His price was fair compared to a couple other companies who he competes against, because he truly wanted the business so he can continue to grow to compete against the other big name companies that upsell from a commissions perspective. Everything happened as he had scheduled. His team arrived in the early morning and finished in 7 hours. Shane assisted with taking care of boarding up the existing Gable vents and cleaning up everything inside the house as well as assisting the rest of the team so that there was no trail of a mess left behind. In echoing another reviewer, after the job finished, "his entire team cleaned up so you wouldn't even know they were there." I am thankful I went with Steve and Stella Roofing Services, and will consider for any future home improvement projects.

I honestly don't understand how anyone could give more than one star, I would have given zero if…read morethat were an option. I've completed previously several projects on my property with half a dozen different contractors, and I've never had an experience as poor as the one I had with Stella. 1. Subcontracted Work: Stella subcontracted 100% of the work to third-party contractors except for trash removal, which I'll address later. They likely hired cheap subcontractors and added a 20-30% markup for their own profit. 2. Lack of Communication: Communication was minimal. I was rarely informed about the next steps or timelines. Initially, I thought this was just one person's oversight, but after interacting with other employees, I realized it's systemic. The company seems to operate with a policy of minimal customer engagement unless absolutely necessary. 3. Unannounced Workers: Subcontractors (painters, electricians, carpenters, etc.) frequently showed up without notice and began working without even a greeting. On multiple occasions, I nearly called the police, thinking someone was trespassing. Most didn't wear uniforms, spoke little or no English, and simply said "talk to boss," making it impossible to understand what they were doing. Stella never communicated these details, and one of their employees even scolded me for asking the workers what they were doing. Ironically, Stella charged a "management fee" despite me having to coordinate with the subcontractors myself. These workers came sporadically one or two days at a time, then disappeared for weeks. This dragged the project out for several months. 4. No Shoe Covers: None of the subcontractors wore shoe covers, so I had to clean up after them daily. 5. Billing Issues: Stella issued invoices for partially completed work and expected immediate payment. If not paid right away, they charged interest even though the work wasn't finished. 6. Trash Removal: The only physical work done by a Stella employee was trash removal. My property was surrounded by piles of debris for months. They sent one person every 2-3 weeks, only when the trash had accumulated substantially. I had to constantly watch for loose nails and other hazards. 7. Final Advice: Save yourself 20-30% of the cost and a lot of headaches, hire a reliable local contractor instead.
