The sales process, project management, and installation folks as well as the scheduler were all excellent to deal with. They answer your questions and give you excellent suggestions. They don't nickel and dime doing their best to please you. I particularly like the salesperson and project managers who were still there to answer and help even after the sale and project was completed. The product (Owens Corning) seems to be as advertised. I love its modular design. The so-called experts say "high end" is using dry wall to match the home. What if you have plumbing problems? The basement requires access. And you want a product that handles humidity. The Owens Corning provides this and more! Go with the best using common sense would be my advice.

My starting assumption was that the project was so challenging (floor to ceiling cabinetry with no room for error, complex multi-level large island) that some glitches were certain. There were none. Zero. Color me blown away. Some comments: -I am a hands-on obsessive and we worked great together on the design process. We did extensive work deciding on the right wood, the right color. Great process, terrific results. -I thought that the cost was very reasonable and I would argue, strongly, that you would do better here than the high-end Euro kitchen places (Newbury St. etc.). I felt that Kenyon beat them on both quality and price with the bonus of getting a custom design instead of being limited to manufacturer configurations. -you can visit them to see their shop, it's all computer driven machinery.

I just…read morehad my new patio and fire pit done by DeLuca Masonry Construction, LLC at my home in Salem, NH, and I honestly couldn't be happier with how everything turned out! Greg DeLuca and his crew were amazing to work with from start to finish -- professional, friendly, and incredibly skilled. They took my ideas, added their own expert touches, and created a backyard space that's even better than I imagined. The stonework is absolutely beautiful, and the attention to detail is second to none. They showed up when they said they would, kept everything neat and organized, and finished right on schedule. It's clear they take real pride in their work. My new patio and fire pit have completely transformed my outdoor area -- it's now the perfect spot for relaxing and entertaining. If you're thinking about upgrading your outdoor space, I can't recommend DeLuca Masonry Construction, LLC enough. 5 stars all the way!

The walkway was redone with grey beacon hill flagstone concrete pavers and a boarder of charcoal concrete pavers. He repaired the brick stairway foundation and refinished it with fieldstone veneer fronts, blue granite treads, and blue mist granite pavers on the landing. To my flower beds, he added Stanstead granite cobblestone edging and retaining wall on the side by my driveway. As a nice finishing touch, he spread loam on the soil along the length of edging and walkway where the lawn had been disrupted, to prep it for us to plant grass seed. Last, but not least, he added a granite step to my shed entrance. It looks beautiful! At every step of the process, Greg was prompt, friendly, patient and informative. He's dedicated to his trade and the job on hand and he's hard-working. As I shared in my first review, he knows his trade exceptionally well, which is reflected in his work. We are so happy with the quality of his workmanship and highly recommend Greg DeLuca and DeLuca Masonry.

Jeff is terrific!…read more There was a leak in our kitchen which we knew was coming from the only full bath, one flight up. We thought it was the shower. Jeff came in, gave us an estimate for replacing the kitchen ceiling, and we agreed to go ahead, knowing that whatever would have to be fixed in the upstairs bath would cost extra. My husband and I were honestly expecting it would cost another 200% or more. Jeff found the leak (it was the clean water source for the toilet tank and not the shower at all), showed us the problem, and went ahead and fixed it. He redid the kitchen ceiling and painted it, all with minimal disruption to two people who work from home. And the extra cost? It was an additional 33 1/3% (or, an additional one-third added to the initial estimate)! Clean, quiet, professional, fast, smart, I cannot say enough good things about him!

Stone for an extensive house renovation project, including but not limited to, a kitchen, two bathrooms, and a finished basement. Upon the commendable completion of the project, I can confidently attest to Jeff's skill and expertise, most notably demonstrated in his carefully crafted tile design and excellent carpentry work. Jeff listened patiently, offered helpful suggestions, was agreeable to most requests, and when presented with a challenge, was up to the task. In fact, my favorite feature is the herringbone patterned backsplash in the kitchen, which he meticulously custom-made - a real masterpiece! Overall, my experience working with Jeff was positive, enjoyable, and collaborative. He transformed an old, tired, and ordinary house into a fresh, modern, and remarkable home.

He inspected the grounds to assess current conditions as well to evaluate our needs. He was a good listener and made several suggestions to improve our site. Once we came to a decision as to the scope of work we wanted, Mark thoroughly explained to us the process going forward and what we could expect. He explained how weather could impact the work, as well as what our owners could reasonably expect to encounter vis a vi access to the property during the process. He also gave us an accurate estimate of the time it would take to complete the job. Weather did in fact impact the job. Abacus communicated well and we were able to inform the owners in a timely manner of the pending delay and no one was negatively impacted by the delay. The delay was brief and the job was completed on time. Our place looks better than ever. Our drainage issues have been solved. We couldn't be happier with the end result. It was a pleasure working with Mark. He has an easygoing manner. And unlike other companies we spoke with regarding the job, he didn't try to up-sell us. He is seasoned professional and we won't hesitate to call him again when the need arises.

Every morning directly on the dot and often before 7am, they start drilling and sawing metal, running loud vacuums, and leaving snow blowers running idle for 30 mins at a time. They treat E st., a public road, as a shop yard, scattering tools and holding morning meetings in the middle of the street. They also park their vehicles illegally on too of my building's sidewalk here. Additionally, the spanish-speaking gentlemen are exceptionally loud & often their voices are my entire building's alarm clock. The level of disrespect is egregious and it needs to stop or my review stands.

I've always found this company to be professional and I've just recently hired them to do a deck and some interior construction work. It is so nice to be able to hire Professionals that you don't have to stay on top of and watch every day. These people are the real deal they work hard. They have longtime employees. I do this a lot and I was very impressed and happy to find Peter at G&O construction.
