What a nightmare. Steve will tell you he got permits, but he did not for my job and when we parted ways before completion, he kicked in my door to collect his tools rather than coordinate with me for an amicable pick-up. I tried to work with Steve, but he is very hostile and he is a not to be trusted. He also claimed that he got materials cheaper because they "fell off the truck". I had no desire to use stolen property to renovate mine. Our property was in NH.

NOT WORTH YOUR MONEY!! Highly NOT RECOMMEND him!…read more To be fair, I started with his good points, the contractors left my place nice and clean after finishing their job everyday. The masonry was built in the perfect straight line as it should be. I like that, and that's the only two pros of this operator. Actually there are a few more cons about what their works, but I select only two points which really upset me. First Cons, compared to what they did, it's terribly overpriced! We called 5 different companies to discuss restoration of my masonry and estimate the cost. All of them estimated the range of the cost from 2000-3200$ for rebuilding the masonry only. When we first talked to Steve at the beginning, he told us that it'd help and prevent lots of problems in the future if he can install the drainage system in our new masonry which total costs 4500$ for restoration + waterproofing + drainage, so it won't be damaged easily later. We're willing to pay this cost, as the drainage system sounds wonderful and he seemed to know his job well. He didn't tell us exactly what the new drainage will look like, but we let him do it, since we first believed him that he's professional. They took a few days to complete. The day before the final day, Steven came to check and asked us to pay the last 70% payment. We noticed that the constructors rebuilt only the masonry, but nothing else. I'm afraid that he might forget about the waterproofing + drainage, so we reminded him what he promised. Steven said "Oh yeah? did I say that too?". Well, I don't really appreciate the way he responded, it sounded like he didn't know what he promised to do, it's not a very professional manner. Then on the final day, the constructors said they were done with their work, I went there to check the final result. I asked the constructors if he put the waterproofing on our masonry, one of them rolled his eyes to us and threw the same question on his colleague instead. His colleague seemed unsatisfied that I reminded them of these, and he said "OK, I can do it". I mean WHAT IS THIS?? They didn't know what they needed to do? And it sounded like we asked them to do extra work which is not. This is not a professional way at all. It's like if we had not enough time to keep our eyes on every single step, all of them tend to forget and skip what we are supposed to get. I don't know if they're genuinely forgetful only this time or if they always did this to every busy house owner, but I'm not appreciate that at all. However, that is not the worst part of my experience yet. Secondly, my worst part is his drainage! When I saw their new drainage system, I was shocked, didn't know if I should start laughing or crying first! It's completely ridiculous, I don't know how they called it 'drainage system'. They just simply removed my old small higher drain pipe, and replaced it with a bigger pipe at the lower position, that's it! (I don't have a photo of my original pipe, but it looks exactly the same as the next one to it.) I wanted to cry and laugh at the same time. They did what they said, but the way they did it is not what I expected at all. From the front, when concrete is completely dried, it's not even look neat, especially when compared to other construction companies, I paid +1300$ extra for his drainage system!! This is totally ridiculous. In conclusion, I HIGHLY NOT RECOMMEND THEM at all. I paid total of 4,500$ for 1'x1'x31' masonry rebuilding + drainage. It's such a small job with a high price but I still didn't get professional service. Extremely disappointed. My personal advice is please hire other companies, especially for the home owners who don't have much time to follow up their work everyday.

A drunk driver drove into the foundation of our 270 year old antique colonial which resulted in so…read moremany headaches beginning with insurance company, court appearances and general havoc in our lives. We were very concerned that so many contractors would not be experienced enough to deal with the challenges that a house, built in 1753 would naturally have. Dave and Mike came into an absolute mess with our post and beam construction since the damage to the fieldstone foundation impacted the entire house. They did a fabulous job, better than any of our expectations. Whenever they encountered a problem we thought would be insurmountable, they calmly figured it out; even as our house was then effected by the Columbia gas explosion, right in the middle of construction. Dave gave us good advice, made solid suggestions on how to maximize our insurance money and was calm even when we were not. The communication was quick and clear even with the other contractors. This was an unbearable situation made bearable only because of Dave and Mike's professionalism, honesty and patience. Highest recommendation for HRH Construction

Our project remains uncompleted with a mudroom without a roof, despite us having paid the full amount of $13,000 for the project. What is most unacceptable is the complete breakdown of communication. Over the past few months, we have placed numerous calls and sent multiple emails; however, they have become entirely unresponsive, only occasionally replying to give us false completion dates. We were promised a timely and professional service, and instead, we are left with an unfinished job and a vendor who has essentially abandoned the project. This lack of accountability and disregard for a paying client is alarming. I cannot recommend Senco Home Services to anyone who values clear communication and project completion. Avoid the stress and look elsewhere.

In January 2023 I signed a contract for a new roof and in April paid the $4,900 deposit, but I…read morenever heard back about the install date despite repeated attempts to contact them. On May 27, 2023, I notified them that I had filed a Fraud Claim with my Bank to recoup the deposit, and that got their attention and they scheduled the installation for early July. There was minor damage done to an attic fan and a gutter issue they were supposed to fix during the installation. In October 2023 there was a (new) significant leak that caused over $1,000 in interior damage. They finally sent someone to fix the roofing issue but never sent the electrician to fix the fan. In February 2024, Chris showed up and explained what else he was going to do to fix the leak issue including re-routing a gutter and making a downspout larger. Between July 5, 2023 and May 15, 2024, I sent dozens of emails and texts and made multiple phone calls to three people at SENCO. In May 2024 I threatened to file claims here, with the Better Business Bureau, and the Tewksbury Chamber of Commerce. Within days they called me to say they would be by within the week to make things right. I haven't heard from them since. If you hire SENCO, expect to pay out of pocket for any damages.

The price quote was fair and we weren't charged more for "extras" like painting our porch rocking chairs and repairing several damaged areas that were uncovered once the siding was off. We were also impressed with the level of communication from Scott. He checked in with his crew onsite every morning and frequently updated us during this time before we headed to work. He also responded to texts quickly and took pictures for us of any rotted wood/repairs that were in places we couldn't easily see (like the third floor dormers). The workers were hard working, tidy, and professional. We highly recommend SCH and plan to use them again for some interior work this winter.

The scope was fairly extensive--plumbing, electrical, drywall, ventilation, inspections, and appliance installation--and Orazio and his team handled it all with a high level of professionalism. What stood out most to me was how consistent the team was. Everyone who came into my home was respectful, easy to communicate with, and took the time to answer questions when I had them. That made a big difference during a project of this size. As a homeowner, trust is a huge factor when choosing a contractor. I always felt that Orazio was straightforward and had my best interests in mind, which made the process feel much more manageable. No renovation is completely stress-free, but having a team that communicates well and follows through makes all the difference--and that was my experience here. I'd absolutely consider working with them again for future projects.
