    Overall, an exhausting and deeply disappointing experience…read more I selected Ryan based on his consultative approach and positive reviews, but unfortunately I cannot echo them. Exception - the tile guy was great. I had two projects: bathroom renovation and roof/sunroom repairs. He quoted 3-4 weeks. After 7 weeks, the bathroom was still unfinished and much of the work was poor enough that it had to be redone by other professionals. He never started the second project before going onto other jobs (which I'm now grateful for). Drywall and finish work were unacceptable. The walls and ceiling were poorly mudded and taped, with visible seams, blobs, and defects -- especially on the ceiling. I raised concerns early, but he continued painting (badly) over unfinished surfaces instead of correcting them. After five weeks, he left for another job and told me to mark defects with painter's tape for his part-time employee to fix. That employee told me he does not do drywall work. Although Ryan repeatedly promised to bring in a professional, he showed up alone in week seven with excuses and no solution. A drywall professional later confirmed extensive errors and provided a $3,250 estimate to fix the work. Ryan rejected the cost, and it took me contacting five companies to find someone willing to correct it for less. During this time, I was without use of my bathroom while he repeatedly pressured me for final payment before corrections were complete. Poor attention to detail throughout: Trim was unpainted, uncaulked, nail holes weren't filled, doors were poorly painted, walls and wainscoting had paint drips all over. The vanity, mirror, and light were not centered. Trim doesn't meet the cabinets properly. One drawer can't fully open. The toilet doesn't sit flush. The shower door has a crooked fixture. A cat door was installed by cutting into trim (instead of above it), mounted crooked, and the trim was never nailed back into the wall. The floor transition piece was never installed. Electrical and plumbing issues: I was charged $400 to relocate the sink drain, which wasn't aligned below the sink. I was charged $800 for electrical work to remove a wire from the panel, move a light, and install a ceiling fan. Yet when I asked for a simple light switch change, he said, "I'm not an electrician." The ceiling fan does not function properly, and I was told to read the manual (which he threw out). Floors are perfectly straight. The closet is totally crooked and it's very obvious. Ceiling tiles below the bathroom became waterlogged twice. Ryan initially denied a leak. It was later discovered that a pipe had been left completely disconnected, causing ongoing leakage. I am now fixing the damage myself. Disregard for my home and pets: Gates, doors, and sliders were repeatedly left open, resulting in my dog escaping and me having to search the neighborhood. No drop cloths were used during painting; it was all over my bedroom floor. Sanding was done with no dust control and the door wide open, coating my bedroom in drywall dust and triggering allergies. He took the box fan we use for sleep noise (without permission) to use in the bathroom, caking the inside with drywall dust. The basement bathroom was repeatedly left trashed after plumbing access. He also left my water turned off there for over a week after leaving for surgery (which I was told about the day before). Pressure for early payments: The original contract and subsequent change order both required 50% down and 50% upon completion. I paid 50% for each initially. Despite this, I was soon asked to pay the remaining balance on the change order prior to work completion. He also demanded half of the final payment prior to completion, claiming only a few days of work remained, though the project was still unfinished weeks later. He continued to pressure me for final payment while significant defects were still being addressed. Bottom line: Cut corners, risk to my pets, poor workmanship, missed deadlines, constant pressure for payment, and a lack of accountability. After he shared a story about resolving a dispute with a prior client by entering her property to remove materials, I felt compelled to change my garage PIN and add camera monitoring for my own peace of mind. I would not recommend this contractor.

    Ryan is wonderful to work with. Knowledgeable, honest, very fair pricing and hard working. A true…read moreprofessional. The work was done on time and it was done the "right way"'. He even went back to the store because some spindles were a little warped (and *maybe* could have passed, but, he did not want to just leave his work looking like that). We had our railings replaced and they look great! I am so happy with the whole project from beginning to end. Ryan is a pleasure to work with, he made the whole process so easy. I highly recommend him!

    Dracut Window and Door made our window replacement project a real pleasure. We appreciated Steve…read moreRoger's detailed presentation of the Mercury replacement window and its features. It was a no pressure sales presentation. We picked the right contractor. The installation team was on time, efficient, professional, quality focused and very tidy. Steve, Bobby, Andriana and Christ were simply outstanding. Dracut Window and Door deserves the highest satisfaction rating - definitely Five Stars!! If you want the job done right, you must use Dracut Window and Door. We will definitely be reaching out to them for future projects!

    Dracut Window and Door is a rare find in todays world of service contractors. There is no monkey…read morebusiness here! Contacting them is easy, place your call or email and it will be returned in a timely fashion. They are polite, patient, provide quality products and do not take short cuts. Dracut window and door provided exceptional value in both products and service. Your window or door will be installed efficiently and with perfection. This is the second time that I used Dracut Window and Door. The first was to install a storm door in a very old house where there was no storm door. They found that the entryway measurements were not even. They did such a great job on replacing the entire entry way correctly that you would never know there wasn't a door there to begin with. No drafts, no leaks, totally an upgrade in energy perfection and efficiency! They provided the same top rate service the second time I called them to install new windows. Steve measured my windows with skill and accuracy. He noticed that my current windows were a half inch to small and had no installation around them. I mentioned this to you because the previous windows in the home were also energy efficient- however that energy was lost because they were never correctly at that time. I saw if you are looking for quality work and with a company you can trust CALL Dracut Window and Door. See for yourself and I am sure that you will be just as happy as I am!
