We never minded having them around! They really made our design vision come true, and their initial quote for cost was right on. The time estimate was off (took about 8 weeks instead of 3) but that's to be expected with construction (and we had some roadblocks because of how our house was built). Overall, we are very happy.

I write this review with a very heavy heart. I feel like documenting my experience is important,…read moreso that other people know what they might be getting into in the future. First of all Costas is a great guy. Friendly and fun to talk to. His son Tony helps him out, and is really nice too. And his 87 year old father, Tony Sr., helps out too. They did various projects for me over the course of about six weeks, most of which turned out pretty well. The problem came when they went to paint a room, and this is where it got bad. I'm no fan of sloppy painting, and I told Costas this many times. "I don't want any wall paint on the varnished woodwork, and I want everything taped." He promised me repeatedly that they are very neat painters, and that they will tape everything. I repeated this conversation with Costas about four times, over the weeks leading up to when they were going to paint. Finally, the day before they were going to paint, I talked about it again. "Not a single drop of paint on that varnished woodwork, Costas." And promised to be neat, and to tape everything. After their first coat, I went in on Saturday to examine their work so far. Nothing was taped. Not a single piece of tape anywhere in the entire room. And there was paint on all the woodwork. The edge of every varnished wood window frame had visible brush strokes of gray wall paint, some of them a half inch wide. There were little splatters here and there, some on the fronts of the window frames. There was paint on the smoke detector. Paint on the thermostat. Paint on a wall plate. Paint on the wooden fan blades. Paint on the black metal fan stanchions. Paint on the baseboard heaters. I couldn't believe it. I finally got a hold of Costas on Sunday, and at first he told me that they were on schedule to finish on Monday. I asked him about the paint on the woodwork. He said, "I told the guys to tape, but they didn't listen. They thought they could be careful and cut in against the woodwork without getting paint on it." Well, obviously, they couldn't be that careful, since there's paint everywhere. And the woodwork is ruined. But in that phone call, he promised to make it right. He'd save the woodwork, and clean it up, with Goof Off paint remover. "It will come right off," he promised. "Won't that take the varnish off the woodwork?", I asked. "No, it will be fine. That paint will come right off." I decided to give him a chance to make it right. Monday morning, I was meeting some other contractors at the house. I heard the guys working up in the painted room, but hadn't had a chance to see the results. After the meeting, Costas arrived. "Oh, Jason, good thing you're here," Costas said. "I tried to call you this morning, but I couldn't reach you. Come upstairs, so I can show you our progress." He pointed to one of the window frames and said, "See, the Goof Off ended up taking off some of the varnish, but don't worry, we found a way to fix it." Then he pointed to a second window frame and said, "See, we painted it to match, and it looks great." "Painted it? What do you mean you painted it?" "We found a color of paint that matches the woodwork." And I took a closer look at my window woodwork, which I suddenly realized had been painted a solid brown color. He had taken one of the wood mullions down to the paint store and had them scan it with their color match system. They mixed up a solid brown paint that "matched" the color of the varnished woodwork. And then he painted the entire window frame, including the sill, brown. I now had brown trim where my beautiful, 25-year-old woodwork used to be. Brown. Not even a color that I would have picked if I wanted my windows painted. "Costas, you just ruined my woodwork!" shouted. "No, it matches," he insisted. "But you didn't ask me if I wanted my woodwork painted!" "I tried to call you this morning, but I couldn't reach you." "So you went ahead and painted the woodwork brown without my permission?" Fortunately, he had only gotten to one window (out of 8 in the room) before I stopped him. I looked around the room and saw masking tape on the walls around the other frames, ready for brown paint. Now they tape? At that point, I told him to pack up his stuff and leave. I had already paid him for the remainder of this paint work on Friday. He protested, and said he'd fix it, and strip the brown paint off, or rebuild the window with new woodwork. Of course, the woodwork was 25 years old, so a rebuild would never match the other windows. And they packed up their stuff and left. So, fair warning: Be very firm with your instructions, and monitor their work closely, step-by-step. Maybe, with some careful guidance, True North can do some good work. But they're apt to ignore repeated instructions, do inappropriate things without permission, and destroy 25-year-old woodwork. Costas and his family are really nice people, though.

My wife and I bought a very old house in Somersworth about a year ago. i contacted George about a…read morebathroom remodel. He responded right away, gave a good estimate and we had him do the remodel. Work was done in the time he estimated and for the price he quoted. Quality of the work was excellent and he was able to handle all the little (and big) issues that one encounters in an old house. Very satisfied with all his work and hope to get him to do more this year.

George started working on various interior projects a week after we moved in. He worked a solid two weeks. He started off by doing upgrades and repairs to our three bathrooms. He then replaced ugly carpeting on two sets of stairs and replaced hardwood stairs. This included staining and and putting two coats of polyurethane on the stairs. What was once a major eyesore is now beautiful, to say the least. George is very professional and does solid work. Even better than that his prices are fair. We like him so much that he is coming back in a few weeks to rebuild our deck and put in a patio. I would recommend George for almost every household fixup issue. I am so happy that he was recommended to us!

He came out promptly and provided a quote for replacing old worn pine flooring with new cherry hardwood in one room and refinishing the pine flooring in another room. He provide a fair reasonable quote. Sean and Nick performed the work beautifully, professionally and cleaned up. The floors came out amazingly. Will definitely hire him again for new floors in other rooms.

Unfortunately the work and effort did not meet expectations. From all the dealings with the owner…read moreI was led to believe I was hiring the owner and his company/employee(s) to complete my work. After the flooring was delivered and carpeting was taken out he never showed up. He said he had phone calls and photos to keep track. The person doing the work I was informed was a 'jobber' or contractor; they did not work for the company. For such an expensive job, if the company wasn't doing the work I'd expect regular 'inspections' in person as a photo can be misleading. When the work was completed all I heard was they wanted immediate payment (no final inspection) and after seeing the final work I understood because the work was done but not to the contract and not to what I would call 'reasonable' standards. I did see the work in progress not being done as agreed, but where the owner wasn't there and the way the work was underway in a less than desirable way (and ripping it out made less sense), I didn't complain or stop the work to the contractor as I'm sure the person I was paying would have charged me again to start over. Now I have to 'fix' parts that are just not right. One specific area to highlight is the actual flooring. The owner came to the house and measured it with a laser. I know when doing the work you don't want to run out and have to stop, but he bought a significant amount in excess (two full boxes plus many additional feet) that I had to pay for (and I expect overhead) and now have flooring I don't need. If he truly knows his work I'd expect a much closer estimate or he buys back extra full boxes to show good will (based on his apparent poor estimation). He also got wood with the wrong finish. He said he'd return it but that would have made a significant delay. I guess to try to justify the mistake (it's a drastic difference between the floors), he said what he bought was better. I was not there when all the work was being done, (I was in and out roughly half the days) but don't think the homeowner should have to oversee the job to ensure it meets the contract or expected quality. One specific item I'll point out; the company's correspondence normally has a statement "Our superior quality and customer satisfaction is guaranteed!". I was not satisfied for most aspects and I definitely don't feel the work was superior quality, at best average. When I pointed out that the work didn't follow what was put in writing he came back with what I would call excuses but to me they were backward and illogical, either way, I was not satisfied and he expected payment for work not done to what he put in writing. Again, how can he 'argue' when he never set foot at the work location during any of the actual work or after completion. These are my experiences and thoughts. I was asked to provide his name to a friend in the area but will not. When working with the government years ago, I would have rated this 'Do not recommend.'.
