I cannot even begin to say how great a job Richard did for us. He is such a kind guy, he's fairly…read morepriced, his work is excellent and he really got to know us and make us feel special. My husband and I have been remodeling an old two family for the past two years and of all the contractors we've hired, Richard was by far the best. He's responsive, replies to text and email, and keeps you updated on the progress of the project. He did our whole kitchen cabinet set, our bathroom vanity and installed a very oddly shaped back door. Throughout the whole process, I trusted him in my home and that he would finish the job. Anyone looking for new cabinets, big or small projects, I can't recommend Richard Gray enough.

We asked Richard to help design and build a custom cabinet/entertainment center/desk for our…read moreconverted bedroom to den in our Beacon Hill home. We found Richard to be a consummate professional from the beginning and throughout the entire process. He worked with us to understand the design aesthetic we were looking to achieve, and helped us choose wood and finishes which would most effectively complement the design. His measurements and fittings were impeccable. Once the design was chosen and the construction began (off site at Richard's workshop), Richard was excellent at keeping us updated as to how the project was proceeding and what our timetable was looking like. When it came time for installation (about a week), all of the components arrived and were put expertly (and neatly so) into place. The result is a beautiful, high-end built-in unit which looks great in our home. We could not be happier with the result of this project. I would not hesitate to recommend Richard Gray for any carpentry project and we expect to be calling upon Richard for other carpentry needs we will have.

Not only that, but he was clear in explaining things along each step of the way, was patient as we made different design decisions, and even helped us navigate hiccups that came up as a result of our appliance and stone guys leaving us confused picking up where they left off seamlessly. We've already recommended Eric to personal friends, and know we will want to use them for any other home projects that come up.

Peter Duffy's team took over the work that our previous, nightmare-of-a-contractor had started…read more From the start, Peter and his amazing crew, Oliver and Alan, showed up at our house first thing in the morning, and didn't stop until 5pm or later. They accomplished more in one week than our first crew did in 2 months. Peter was truly invested in the project, and it was clear how much he cares for his clients and his crew. Every step in the process was a collaboration: Peter scheduled appointments between us and the electrician, HVAC crew, and plumbers so we could all walk through the house together and talk through what we wanted and what would work. Peter also made suggestions throughout the process that improved the plan and house in ways that never would have occurred to us. At one point, Peter's crew had the idea to move an original built-in cabinet to another wall in order to open up the dining room to the kitchen, and it changed the entire flow of the house in the best way possible. Visitors always scratch their heads in disbelief when we tell them that the built-in was moved - they insist it looks like it has always lived in that corner of the room! Peter uses the best materials for his builds, and the finishing work is outstanding. Oliver is an incredible carpenter, so our new stairs, kitchen casework, trim around the walls and doors, and tile work in each bathroom is absolutely gorgeous. The existing walls in the house were in bad shape after we removed the wallpaper, so Peter's meticulous painting team patched and repaired all of the walls before painting. The walls are now absolutely smooth and look brand new. The few times there were issues, Peter and his crew addressed them immediately - things were corrected by the following day. Our entire project was massive, and Peter coordinated the work of all of the subcontractors seamlessly so there was never a day that no one showed up to work. Peter's prices throughout the project were also reasonable, especially for the quality of work and materials that they included. Our finished home is more beautiful than we could have ever imagined - we are beyond happy and grateful to Peter and his crew. If you've got a project coming up - no matter how big or small - Let Duffy Do It! Check out the attached social media video we made to showcase Peter's work, along with some other pictures of the finished kitchen, bathroom, and basement.

I've worked with Peter and his crew on several different projects since we have moved into our old…read morehouse. We first worked with the crew to fix our tub surround. They did an amazing job, went above and beyond what was asked. His crew was very respectful of our property, always cleaned up every single day, and most importantly was respectful in their communication and interaction with us. We had several horrible experiences with contractors previously, so we were so glad to work with a contractor who was kindhearted, honest, knowledgeable, and good at his work. Two months ago we finally pulled the trigger and added a 1/2 bath to our property. We loved working with Peter so much that we worked with him again! Small compact powder room, but it gets the job done. Overall pleased with outcome of every project. Peter was helpful in the process as he had many suggestions, ideas in bringing things together. Pricing was very reasonable compared to the 2-3 other quotes that's I've received from other contractors. I was proactive on my end on communicating exactly what the needs were for my family. Communicated timeline, expectations, and cost so that there were no surprise for the both of us. My husband and I have worked with many different contractors, and it's really difficult to come by someone who is as helpful and honest as Peter!

It was a mess but Alex said he could take care of it a little later on because he had to go to another job. He text me came back and finished the ceiling and painted some old chairs.

He will be working on my house for years to come it's nice you can have someone who does a great job and is trusting nowadays that's hard to find!!! Thanks Green Mountain Painting you're the best!!

While the quality of the work was quite good and the project was completed on time, the owner of this firm is very difficult to work with: 1) He gave a very vague quote, giving the impression that the total cost was much lower than expected ($5,100 versus $3,600.); and 2) upon realizing this mistake, the owner never apologized but instead threatened to sue us and file a mechanic's lien when we tried to compromise to reach a resolution. The owner lacks business acumen with little no understanding of business protocol (that in quoting a job, he needs to separate labor from material costs and that this should be done on one estimate, not broken into two separate invoices, or start a job before all the signatories have signed an contract.), and, worse, resorted to racist and inflammatory comments during our later interactions to resolve the matter. This firm may appear to provide better pricing than competitors, but the owner is a very immature young man and cannot be trusted to any serious project. Do not take the bait!

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.
