I highly recommend Tom Brady Carpentry. He and his team were fast, rialable and reasonably priced…read more We have a small old bathroom that wasn't repaired for many years. The sink was coming off the wall. It was unusable. We decided to replace not only sink, by old tile floor, toilet, mirror and lights. Tom answered all the questions and concerns before the job started. He found a small vanity sink that fit our bathroom. There were not too many options when it came to tiles, so seeing a few more options before deciding would have been nice. The job took 4 days instead of 5. It moved along at a good pace. Overall, it was a positive experience. I really enjoy the final results of our half bathroom remodel.

Tom is personable, transparent, meticulous, and efficient - an unheard of collection of traits in a…read morecontractor. He handled a large kitchen renovation for us that involved the design itself, taking down a load-bearing wall, replacing a wooden floor, moving a steam pipe, moving ductwork, adding light fixtures, running new electrical & plumbing, installing cabinetry, and painting & finishing. I think a big value add, and justification for his rate, is that he is a one-stop shop. He has a closely-knit team of trusted partners, and that contributes to the consistent quality and speed of work. You could pursue a cheaper option like Home Depot, but they make no guarantee on their subcontractors' expertise, and what they can do is extremely limited (structural changes are a nonstarter). We'll be hiring Tom again no doubt.

By Home (Mike) is fantastic. A few key things:…read more 1. Mike is approachable, patient, and keeps in close contact. Whenever I had a question during our project, he would get back to me very quickly, which inspired a lot of confidence. 2. Very high quality. The quality of the work is laudable. We hired Mike to install a new bathroom in our house and also do some other tiling work. Our friends and family have consistently commented on how impressed they are with how everything looks! 3. Pricing is very fair and transparent with no surprises. At no point were there surprise change orders or anything like that. Mike was honest and straightforward. We found By Home and Mike via Yelp- we received many estimates for our project and found Mike to strike the best balance between price and expertise. We are very glad we went with By Home. I highly recommend the company. I definitely plan to use them again for future home improvements.

We had our main floor painted- family room, kitchen, dining room as well as a bathroom, master bedroom and several hall spaces. This included a lot of wallpaper removal, natural wood preservation and popcorn ceiling removal! We had a tight deadline that was made even tighter by our move situation and Dan still came through as promised! He was so great to work with from start to finish.

100% Disabled Veteran Warning: Marra Flooring & Their Supplier…read more I rarely leave reviews, but after a year-long nightmare and $60,000+ down the drain, I feel an obligation to warn others. From the very beginning, I told Marra that the one thing that mattered was a floor that wouldn't creak, splinter, or trigger me -- something that has bothered me since my deployment. A year later, I'm stuck with the exact opposite. What happened: Safety hazards from day one: Boards chipped immediately and lifted early. My kids and I have gotten multiple slivers -- some up to ~2 inches -- lodged in our feet. Marra didn't seem to care. Worsening over time: Even replaced boards are lifting, creating elevation changes you can feel underfoot. Rob, the owner, told me directly it was the last time he was addressing the floor -- despite obvious issues that remain. Not normal wear-and-tear: Marra staff, installers, and even the manufacturer's inspector acknowledged this was abnormal and a bad situation for me. One inspector told me outright he wouldn't sell this product because of its known chipping issues. Installation & project management failures: Basic protocol ignored: The subcontractor installers (honest, professional guys) told me they disagreed with Marra and said the flooring wasn't acclimated properly in my home before installation. No real project oversight: The project manager asked the subcontractor how replacements were done -- he didn't even know himself, nor was he present half the time. Missed scope / measurement mess: They missed ~15 sq ft. Even Dylan admitted it was missed. Later, they rewrote history in email with "not in scope." I re-measured: we had more flooring left than the zero-waste minimum, proving the 15 sq ft should have been installed. Mismeasurement ripple: At one visit, even Glenn questioned why 33+ boxes were still on site (more in spare room), he was the one that mismeasured. Supplier red flags: According to the DOJ (press release, Mar. 25, 2025), Marra's supplier Evolutions Flooring and its owners settled an $8.1M case over falsifying import records and evading duties on Chinese flooring. The whistleblower (Urban Global LLC) that sued them was extremely helpful to me. They confirmed my suspicion: if a supplier will cut corners at import, it's not a stretch to think they'd cut corners elsewhere. They even connected me to the only U.S. lab that can properly test this wood (located down south). Promises not kept: Refunds: Dylan promised to reimburse me for my own product used during repairs. We used more of my product than the manufacturer provided. No refund to date. Verbal vs. written contradictions: In person, Marra (including Rob) staff called the issues "unacceptable." Rob said he would be fixing many spots he pointed out (spots that still exist today). In email, they walked it back. Lack of urgency: I had to push to get inspectors scheduled, then push for updates. When inspectors came, they didn't even check all damaged areas. Manufacturer tried to say it was my basement being too cold, Marra didn't push back on this to my knowledge. How I held up my end: I followed all manufacturer specs and even went above and beyond by installing a robust HVAC system exclusively to protect the flooring's environment. Do your homework before trusting them: BBB: Check their DBAs, complaint history, and ownership structure. Wayback Machine: See archived warranties/spec sheets and how their parent/child entities shift over time. This company shuffles names and info. Turning this mess into something good: I have ~1,000 sq ft of this flooring remaining. I do not recommend installing it, but I'll give it to a veteran or family in need who understands the risks. If I can't place it, I'll sell it and donate the proceeds so at least something positive comes from this. Final note to ownership: Rob wears a cross -- a symbol of integrity and accountability -- but never took ownership of this situation. I'll gladly send him a signed copy of Jocko Willink's Extreme Ownership. It's a lesson this company desperately needs.
