I hired George to restore the crumbling cement and loosened stones around the corners and sides of…read morethe foundation of my triple decker in Boston. He struck me as highly intelligent, very thorough, and with a slight perfectionist streak. We did two circumambulations of the building, and reviewed the interior. He wanted to make exactly sure he understood what I wanted from him and how he thought he could best do it. I appreciated his thoroughness, both before he began the job and in his execution. His work was neat and clean and accomplished exactly what I needed, all for a good price. I will definitely be hiring him for my future masonry work.

BEWARE! Please DO NOT use AGM Construction for concrete repair/refinishing. We want to spare you…read morefrom our regrets. We waited a month after the work was performed, allowing time for the concrete to cure. Unfortunately, every day reveals new issues and overall product failure. There are two parts to this review, and I want to be fair regarding work that appears, for now, to be done well -- specifically repointing a large stone retaining wall and reinstalling stone treads on brick steps. Another thing to beware of is George's opinion of what should be done versus your express wishes. He will do what he wants. The second part of this review covers the other work in this project, refinishing concrete walkways and steps. That work delivered disastrous results, including extensive damage to shrubbery. I have many photos clearly showing the failed and failing concrete work as well as the shrubbery damage. In addition to the cracks and holes that are now visible, just walking on the concrete and hearing crackling sounds predicts that additional areas will soon visibly fail. There is not a single area of failure--it is everywhere. Despite many verbal assurances regarding quality, I can only describe AGM's concrete refinishing as incompetent. Our concrete surfaces are much worse now than before being "repaired." We wish we had something positive to say, but watching AGM's repair work continue to fail and our money mainly being wasted precludes that. We hope our miserable experience will be a strong caution should you consider AGM for any concrete repair work.

He was consistently professional and clearly knowledgable about the work, guiding me through the process when I clearly had no idea what I was doing. The quality of his work was excellent and he was genuinely a pleasure to work with, always responsive to my texts and questions. Price-wise, he was more than fair. I would recommend Boston Contractor Services without hesitation to anyone looking for a contractor who is truly skilled and also easy to work with. Will definitely be calling him again for any other future projects.

We hired Boston Best Construction (BBC) to complete a kitchen island and small remodel project in…read moreour Boston condo. We consulted with several contractors and ultimately settled on BBC due to the competitive price, references, and availability. We worked with Eduardo and his team throughout the duration of the project. We are very happy with the outcome. The Quote & Final Price. Of those we contacted, BBC took the least amount of time to get us a quote. The quote was also the most detailed of the ones we received. Eduardo included renderings of the island remodel and surrounding space as well as a detailed breakdown of materials and labor. The quoted price was very competitive -- it was among the lowest. BBC completed the project for the quoted price in spite of a few unexpected complications we encountered along the way. Quality of work. We are extremely happy with the quality of the work performed. We were very up front about certain key requirements going into the project and Eduardo did a very good job making sure to adhere to them. For example, we wanted to make sure the island cabinetry matched our older, discontinued, cabinetry. Eduardo was able to match our own cabinets very closely without impacting the price. We also had a number of other very specific requirements regarding cabinetry arrangement and Eduardo stuck to it perfectly. We got what we asked for. Communication and experience. Eduardo and his crew kept the dialogue going throughout the project. We spoke regularly via telephone, email, and text message. They listened to our questions and concerns along the way and made adjustments based on our input. They were very good at explaining when certain things made sense and when they didn't. Eduardo and his team were not afraid to speak up when they thought their input would lead to a better result. For example, Eduardo and one of his team members (Daniel) had some suggestions about how to cut the granite to wrap around some steam pipes adjacent to the island. This resulted in a much better finished appearance and the additional cost was negligible. We are glad we listened to their suggestions as the final result is better than we had expected. We had a great experience with BBC and would use them again. We recommend them for anyone considering any type of project for their home.

I am a broker in the Cambridge area. I recently engaged Klaus to help redesign a 2 family house…read morethat I bought for investment. One unit needed to be totally gutted with new floors, new kitchen, insulation and soundproofing. Klaus was masterful in raising the ceilings to create an elegant renovation that restored the unit to its previous appearance. His use of lighting was impressive in making the unit sparkle compared to its earlier dinginess. The kitchen was designed to maximize counter space and include a center island for dining. I was pleased that this came in on budget, which often doesn't happen. I have recommended Klaus to other brokers in the area for help in selling properties in need of "face-lifting".

We hired Marcel Maillet of Maillet and Sons, Sudbury MA to turn an ugly screened in porch into a…read more4-season room with a gas fire in our home in Concord Center In addition we remodeled the adjacent mudroom. We initially met with several other builders, none of whom impressed us as the right builder to hire like Marcel immediately did. We couldn't have possibly chosen a more skilled, more highly-organized, and more easy-to-work with builder than Marcel. Marcel gave us a fair and complete estimate for our job's total cost with a realistic schedule for a job start and end, both of which he stuck to, largely because Marcel is highly-competent and highly-organized at carrying out building projects from his many years of experience building homes with his father Al (who is now recently retired and who we were honored to meet); Marcel and his crew started our job on the exact date he said he would start. Marcel and his employees/sub-contractors came to work on time every day at 7am and worked diligently all day until our job was finished on time and on budget for the exact total cost Marcel quoted us up front; we couldn't POSSIBLY have asked for more from any other builder. When an unexpected challenge came up that Marcel could not have possibly foreseen, Marcel was so experienced and so competent at building/remodeling houses, that he immediately came up with a solution and a change-order that he implemented without issue for a very fair agreed on additional price. Other builders seemed more interested in telling how complicated the job was going to be with lots of potential unexpected problems. Marcel's attitude was completely different. He assured us that any unexpected issues that turned up would be easily sorted out. He prides himself in just getting the job done. This is indeed exactly how things went. On his website, Marcel says the following very true statement about his company: "Father and Son work together to produce the highest quality homes possible, maintaining both their relationships with subs and suppliers, and the company's reputation for an outstanding product." That statement is absolutely one-hundred percent true; in addition to Marcel being a highly-competent and highly-organized builder from his years of experience building home with his father, his close relationships with his sub-contractors and his suppliers was instrumental in ensuring that our job was completed on time and on budget. We highly recommend that you consider hiring Marcel for any building/remodeling project.
