Charged me $40 right off the bat. Calls me and tells me what is wrong and I ask him to try and repair it. Says he will check on parts. Calls me back and says he can't get parts and the machine can't be repaired due to this. I told him I would just come and get it. I pick it up and spend 10 mins with it. The drive wasn't seized!!!!!! It was just stuck and needed to be greased. Ran old gas out of machine and put VP 4 cycle in and runs like a top with drive now working. Feels like they saw an older machine and didn't want to deal with it when they can just take the money from the deep pocketed town folks. Won't be going back. They should be ashamed of this. Will not recommend them for repairs or anything else for that matter. ZERO Stars rating( made me leave something)

Went to Lowes for cabinets for my kitchen. The designer came up with a schlock design and when she…read morepriced it out it was ridiculous. When she found out I wasn't going to use Lowes to install it she informed me she couldn't work with me anymore. My brother in-law suggested discount kitchens and told me to speak to Jim Woodward. Jim came out to the house and made some excellent suggestions and came up with a great design. He showed us cabinet options and we went with Forevermark cabinets and couldn't be happier. My brother in-law installed them. They look great! I asked Jim for a good granite house for the counter tops. He suggested a local company in Weymouth. We love our kitchen! And it was far less for materials than Lowes!

The layout was perfect! We went in to view the cabinet options. Jim was very forthcoming and showed us a few options. We went with his first choice and couldn't be happier. When it was time for counter tops Jim suggested a few folks for us to visit. We went with a local company and couldn't be happier. The price we got for our cabinets that have a plywood box, not particle board was less expensive than Lowes! Forget the big box stores, Discount Kitchens is a better deal with personalized service.

We couldn't be happier with the result! (Note that in this photo, we haven't yet replaced the mirror, that's why it's a bit too small!)

We recently contracted Norfolk Kitchen & Bath to do a complete renovation of our master bathroom,…read moreand we could not be happier. From the initial design process with Danielle we felt at home with her guidance, and she made the entire experience fun and enjoyable. Danielle was extremely knowledgeable, and put us on the right path with regard to our budget, design expectations and really helping us to understand how the entire process works. Right from the beginning, we knew we had reached out to the right company. Then came the build process, in which we were fortunate enough to work with Steve Costa who not only juggled a third-floor walk-up, a building from the late 1800s, but also an extremely pregnant woman who was keen on getting this project off the ground and completed as quickly as possible. Steve led a fantastic group of NKB employees and subcontractors, but I would be remiss to not give a special shoutout to John and Mike who were our dream team carpenters, kitchen décor experts, and mental support during the project. Our dog clearly misses Steve, John and Mike as they became best friends it seems during the project. Additionally, Kelsea from the PMA team was a huge help in keeping the schedule/accounting on track for us. We were THRILLED with the final product (photos attached), and we are so very thankful for all of the hard work of the entire NKB team to bring our dream bathroom to life (before the baby, may I add)! If you are looking to have work done, look no further than NKB. We know that we will be using them in the future when needed, with no doubts about it.

I love this store. Took my teen-aged daughter in to pick paint for her bedroom and she walked out…read morejust thrilled about what a nice place it is. Elizabeth, the color specialist (?), took such good care of us. And she was just lovely to deal with. We have relied on Steve and his good advice for years as we have painted and re-painted the rooms in our house. The difference in having a store like this, as opposed to having to google answers to my questions - to help out the folks at the big hardware chains - is what makes "shopping local" the treat that it is. Please be kind to our home town merchants. Not every visit is perfect (I read some other comments) but we are so lucky to have options outside of the big box stores. Small businesses truly deserve our support!

We spent well over $100,000 at Hingham Lumber for home reno materials, including a full set of…read morekitchen cabinets. Going to Hingham Lumber for kitchen cabinets was a horrible experience and a big mistake. The Hingham Lumber designer mismeasured for more than half the cabinets had them made wrong. Rather than fixing their mistakes, the HL designer and cabinet department manager stonewalled us and the manager subjected me to verbally and physically abusive behavior. Due to the HL designer's mismeasurements, an entire wall of cabinets was not long enough to fit the space. To avoid weeks of delay, we agreed to adjust the placement of cabinets in our kitchen rather than having these cabinets redone. Also, the upper cabinets on the same wall didn't line up with the lowers as they were supposed to. We had repeatedly told the HL designer our design and space required they line up. When, after installation, we found the upper cabinets didn't line up, the designer said that - regardless of what we wanted - she had deliberately designed the cabinets to not line up because it was "customary". Again, to avoid weeks of delay, we agreed to have only one upper cabinet at the end remade with an extended section on one side. Because of Hingham Lumber's mistakes our kitchen doesn't look as good as it should have. The HL designer also mismeasured three lower cabinets that had to fit together between a wall and a load bearing post. They were too long to fit in the space. She told us to have our contractor cut into the load bearing post to deal with her mistakes! The HL designer ordered a back panel for these cabinets that was too long, with completely wrong trimwork. The crown moldings for the cabinets didn't arrive with the rest of the order. The HL designer said she forgot to order them. Then it got worse. The HL designer scheduled a revisit to our home. When she came, she brought a man she introduced as the manager of the Hingham Lumber cabinet department. Together, the HL designer and manager tried to blame our contractor, and then us, for the designer's mismeasurements. I reminded them the HL designer was the person who measured for and ordered the cabinets. Then, the six foot four male manager (more than a foot taller than I) suddenly stepped forward to stand toe-to-toe with me. His face turned red, he shook his finger right in my face and he shouted that Hingham Lumber wasn't going to pay to redo the cabinets they had mismeasured. I told the HL manager to move away from me, but he didn't. My husband shouted at him to get away from me, but he didn't. I had to start to step forward to get him to step back and finally get away from me. The HL manager finally agreed to take responsibility to have 4 of the 11 mismeasured cabinets remade. He said it would take four to six weeks to deliver them. The HL designer had previously told us it would take two weeks for delivery if any items needed to be remade. I asked the manager if his longer time period was in retaliation for me refusing to accept his bullying. He didn't answer. A week later, when we'd heard nothing from the designer, we contacted her. She hadn't even ordered the replacement cabinets. A week after that, a Hingham Lumber employee called us. This HL employee wanted to know if we were going to file action against Hingham Lumber regarding their manager's behavior. This HL employee then said any idea the designer and manager had acted inappropriately was only my "perception". I told him there were witnesses to the HL manager's behavior. He then asked me what I wanted. I said I wanted Hingham Lumber to order the cabinets that had to be remade right away and give a delivery date so our contractor could schedule his time. I also said I wanted Hingham Lumber to reimburse us for our contractor's charge for having to install cabinets a second time. Hingham Lumber still didn't order the replacement cabinets we needed. In desperation, I contacted the cabinet maker, Tedd Wood, directly. I asked for Tedd Wood's help in getting the cabinets we needed. Within 48 hours of my call to Tedd Wood, Hingham Lumber finally agreed the corrected cabinets would arrive timely and gave me a delivery date. (Thank you, Tedd Wood!!!) Hingham Lumber has never reimbursed us for the extra contractor fee we paid for Hingham Lumber's mistakes. Instead, the store billed us for $700 (plus interest) for miscellaneous cabinet parts, including some which arrived long after the cabinets were installed. This amount is far less than the extra fee our contractor charged us for installing the cabinets twice. Neither the store owner nor any of the HL employees involved ever apologized to me for the verbally and physically abusive behavior of the HL manager. We're now considering whether to take action to collect the contractor fee Hingham Lumber owes us and more, since Hingham Lumber seems to care more about avoiding the consequences of their bad behavior than treating their customers well and fairly.

We had excellent service and design help here. On our two visits we dealt with Patti Sylvester…read more She was an absolute joy to work with and was extraordinarily helpful. We have recently completed a major pool/patio area renovation. One of the first things we had to decide (out of so many things!) was the type of pavers we wanted for the pool apron and patio area. Our landscape/masonry company recommended Back Yard Living and Patti in particular. One can easily become overwhelmed at the sheer number of paver selections...various types and colors of stone abound. We took an initial walk through the store as well as outside where they have extensive examples laid out. We eventually narrowed things down but it was Patti who ultimately knew what questions to ask us and helped steer us to our final selection. The pavers and borders have since been installed and we couldn't be happier. We had to return to the store to decide on new pool coping. We hated the pool coping style that was there originially. There are a number of pool edges to choose from. We thought we wanted a flat edge but are happy we went with the "coastal cape design" that Patti showed us and recommended. We had a great experience here.

I've…read morepurchased everything from Christmas trees to all of the shrubs and perennials in my front yard. The plants are always high quality and they have such a great selection, but it can be pricey compared to other nurseries in the area. During the Spring and Summer they have a sprawling selection of plants, trees, and shrubs, I could (and have) spent hours browsing through them all. The staff is always really nice and you get the vibe that they're genuinely interested in your project and happy to give recommendations. In addition to the actual plants, they have landscaping services, lots of gardening supplies, and even decorative items and gifts. I haven't participated in anything just yet, but they even host all kinds of events and classes throughout the year. Overall, I'm super happy to have such a fun community spot nearby. They only lost a star for me because of the high prices, but as long as the plants keep doing so well I'll keep coming back anyways :)
