Frank is so great and easy to work with. Hired him for a very large project (windows, siding,…read moreroofing and exterior doors). I had the most positive experience with Frank. He is reasonably priced, easy to communicate with and attentive to detail and time restrictions. We hired Frank and his team again this year to add a gas fireplace vent outside. The work is top notch. He listens to everything we want and always executes it perfectly. He will always communicate to make sure we are on the same page and will adjust so we are 100% satisfied. I would hire Frank again and again and recommend you to do the same! Thank you Frank and Team!

His brother, Michael, has taken care of and fixed my air conditioning for years. Due to this past winter storms, my house had some significant damage. Peter and his crew removed the vinyl siding, replaced the rotted wood and re-sided my home with Hardie siding. They also replaced some window and remodeled a kitchen. Peter communicates frequently and the jobs were done on time and on budget. He and his brother and their team are wonderful to work with and I would not consider anyone else for future projects or fixes. David F Beverly, Ma.

Peter Shepherd is a dishonest contractor. He is operating illegally as he does not have a…read morecontractors license and uses his son's with the same name. He was extremely difficult to work with. His workers do relatively quality work, but they cut corners due to Peter's instruction. I had them do a walk-in shower and the floor had to be redone by a professional tiler. The water was not draining (at the correct pitch) and puddling. After Peter's team re-did it the professional tiler took over because the puddling was not corrected. He ripped up what they had done and discovered they had just tiled over the first tile! He ripped it all up and started from scratch. Peter walked off the job and then sent me threatening texts, saying he was going to put a lien on my house, and sue me for slander. I had to hire an attorney. I had a very negative experience with this contractor and would highly recommend you run, not walk away!

Barrowclough came highly recommended, especially Paul Newman. I had seen his work at a couple…read morehomes. It was perfect. When it was time for us to do a major renovation, we invited them to give us a quote with other contractors. We ultimately chose them, although they were not the lowest quote. We chose to leave our home during construction to give them freedom to do their thing. Not only did Paul work quickly and efficiently, but during the job, he called frequently to keep me updated, and he came up with ideas to make the space more usable and modern. Rather than keep 2 old fashioned pantries, he had an idea to pull off the doors and order cabinet frames and doors and extend the kitchen into the hallway. He pulled out the insides and reengineered them to our custom specs. The result was that for minimal cost (hundreds of dollars) we got much more functionality and efficiency. We ended up adding to the kitchen and dining room job. What did we add? We removed popcorn ceiling, painted hallways and stairwell, painted master bath and bedroom, redid two upstairs bathrooms and more. We came home to a new house in April 2021 just as covid is (hopefully) winding down. What a gift Paul is. I'm happy to show the work that Paul and his crew did. He employs the best subcontractors and partners with them to ensure they are working together well. You can't go wrong with Paul and Barrowclough. Paul is a master carpenter.

We had an excellent experience with Tom Barrowclough Contracting on our recent home renovations…read more Tom met with us promptly after I called to request an appointment for a quote. Our project included a new roof, siding and all new windows. Tom delivered our detailed quote within a week or so. Our project started mid July 2018 and was completed last week. We were informed by Tom that the foreman, Paul Newman and crew would arrive at 7:00 am on a Monday morning, which did happen. Going forward Paul was in communication with us daily informing us of the next days schedule. All coordinating of product delivery, plumber, electrician, plasterer were under his supervision. There were no delays even with the August extreme heat. The crew of 3 were courteous and worked consistently through out the day. All materials were cleaned up at the end of the day. We requested some additional projects and the crew all worked together and made it happen. This included painting all the new window trim and a few rooms and ceilings. What impressed us the most, beside the quality of work, was that the Barrowclough team took our project and ran with it while consulting with us if needed. We would rate our experience as 5 stars and will use Tom Barrowclough for our next home project. Pat and John Dunn

Worst contractor I've ever hired. So many red flags telling me early on that these folks were not…read moreprofessional that I should have listened to. In the end, they took about 18 months to complete the job, were over budget, and did a terrible ob on multiple things. They may be okay for simple, quick projects, but do not, I repeat do not, have them do anything regarding tiling or grout. Terrible job done by teenagers (maybe twentyish) who clearly didn't know what they were doing and had no oversight by the owner, Mark.

All of my questions were answered clearly and I did not feel rushed. Once the decision was made a dumpster arrived, his crew assembled, replaced the roof and all associated issues. Gutter guards were put in place the next day. All in all a two day job, (the roof is large, with 3 parts and very high as we live on a hill) including meticulous clean up. Jim was on site frequently checking the work and answering any questions. Pricing was fair and affordable and every charge was reviewed.

We hired Gus and his son's team to repair our damaged chimney this past spring. The masonry work…read moreitself was well done. However, to rebuild the top of the chimney, Gus's workers punched numerous nail holes in our roof on the path up to the chimney. When the work was done, I could see sunlight streaming through the holes. Gus Jr insisted they were sealed with clear sealant. Well, during the next storm water just poured through those holes. Gus Jr insisted they were sealed, returned, and used tar to seal them from the inside (he refused to go back on the roof and insisted this would work). I chose to believe him, even though in hindsight I should have known this would never seal. Rain kept pouring through (see pics of original holes and tar filling, both leaking). For months, both Gus and Gus Jr promised to come back, scheduled days, and never came. Gus even started to blame the condition of my roof, even though it never leaked before and only leaked where his workers had climbed and punched holes in the roof. Now my roof and chimney combined are leaking more than before I hired Gus and his team, and I'm out many thousands of dollars. Be warned.

They cleaned our gutters and sealed them. Our gutters were in rough shape & completely overflowing but by the time they finished, they looked brand new. Not just cleaned, but meticulously cleared out and properly sealed so we don't have to worry every time it rains. They even took the time to explain what they were doing and why, which made us feel like we were in really good hands. Their work is quality & their pricing is competitive & very reasonable! This is the kind of service we wish every home contractor provided!

The…read morehome was left in pretty bad shape by the previous owners of 30 years, and the scope of work was extensive and daunting: gut and reno of a dated, compact bathroom; refinish of three wallpaper and horse hair plaster bedrooms; refinish worn hardwood floors; creation of custom laundry closet; new heating and hot water system; construction of new egresses; installation of new windows; etc. We loved his subcontractors. We purchased several natural stones for our bathroom renovation, and Carlos installed them with great care. He took the time to hand select individual pieces of stone from the 1' x 1' mesh to finish the edges of our walk-in shower. And Fred, Dave's plumber, is a gem. It's obvious he takes great pride in his work, and it really came through in the installation of the new heat and hot water systems in the basement. He even took the time to point out and explain some of the home's plumbing history (e.g. down spout for the old ice box!) We really enjoyed working with Dave. We gave him a high level vision of what we wanted, and he knew how to execute. This is our first home--first purchase and first renovation--and there were numerous times I thought to myself, "I'm not sure if we could've made it without Dave". He was timely, considerate, and always available. He gave us great recommendations for paints, fixtures, and accessories. The bottom line: We'll absolutely be doing more work on our home in the future, and we won't look to anyone but Dave.
