As a newbie to woodworking, the staff at Barney and Carey were so kind and helpful to me!! The day…read moreI went in, the owner helped me select wood that fit my project and budget needs, and then he actually stayed an extra hour and a half after they had closed to help me get my wood cut and planed. He didn't rush or cut any corners just because it was getting late, and I really appreciate the perfectionism and professional quality of the work! I am so glad I found this place, and even happier with the excellent service I received!! They have such a vast variety of wood, and I can see myself going back for a number of additional projects! I highly recommend this lumber specialty workshop.

I definitely will use them again for some home repairs!

Joe reached out to me within a few hours and said he come out the same week to take a look. He is very knowledgeable and friendly.

I would recommend him and will keep him in mind for anything that comes up in the future.

One Star: EXPENSIVE AND INFLEXIBLE…read more I hired Mr. Handyman (Mr. Handyman of Central - Eastern Norfolk County & S.Shore) to install an awning cover on an existing frame at my home for the summer months. Two workers came to do the installation. Although they both worked hard at the task, neither had done such a job before, restarting the job twice and calling a local awning company for advice. Due to their inexperience and a rising wind, the workers had to leave with the work undone. The second day one of the workers returned and finished the task. A total of about 7 man hours of labor were expended to do the work that in prior years was accomplished in 3 to 4 man hours. The owner of the franchise was unwilling to negotiate the cost of the work. I paid for on-the-job training as well as for the actual installation. The cost to install the awning was roughly FIVE times the cost as for previous years. I'll will never I hire this company again.

Also they took the old gate lock without permission so ai can't even determine the correct lock to replace their terrible work with. Also, they ruined the fence with extra holes installing this incorrect gate lock. This was a shady service with awful results. Do not recommend.

Dream House Services has been our go-to contractor for years because the quality, reliability, and…read morecreativity is unmatched. Khanh and his team consistently do an amazing job providing a finished project that meets or exceeds our expectations, all while protecting and respecting our property. Khanh is the only contractor I trust to not only accomplish my vision (in detail and meticulously) but also NOT destroy my property in the process. He always makes sure he knows exactly what you're asking for. He confirms he can accomplish it and even suggests modifications to the plan to improve it, to give you the best outcome. The whole team will come to your home and spend a day prepping your space "Dexter" style. He protects everything and anything near or around the work he will do. I've never had a problem with damage to my property with Khanh but I have with EVERY other contractor, no matter the job. In the past, every time we chose to go with someone else because Khanh wasn't available (scheduling), we regretted it! Khanh is a contractor that pays attention to detail, respects you and your property, and gives you exactly what you paid for or more. He's the only professional contractor I will work with for my home.

His team took care of the existing space and provided quality work for the kitchen repair (wall, cabinets, counters, minor plumbing). Furthermore, Khanh had great insight and possible solutions to issues that occurred during the re-build. Dream House Services team was clear on their invoices and quick to update or provide context if there were issues or questions. The team was able to work with us on pricing and figuring out ways to re-use or re-purpose existing undamaged parts of the kitchen to keep cost low. Lastly, Khanh and team was able to stick fairly close to schedule even when material delays or additional issues discovered. I would recommend the Dream House Services team for future any future work

Ruy Barbosa is high off the charts in professionalism. He was responsive to our questions, and…read moreintuitive about our interests. He communicated with us throughout the project of installing a new Timberteck deck. His crew worked straight on through from start to finish without empty lapses of time. The men are so highly skilled. We continue to be happy with our beautiful deck. Therefore, we asked Ruy to install a Timberteck stair rail at our front doors, which also has withstood the test of time. We'd been concerned that installments like this would compromise the brick, whereby requiring a total rebuild, but a rebuild wasn't necessary. He also advise us on an easy and effective fix to divert water from flowing from the gutter and freezing to ice on those brick steps in winter. Based on the outcome of these projects, and our experience in their progression, we highly recommend this company.

Brutal experience with them back in 2022-2024. Would take weeks and, more than once, even months…read moreto get them to come back and do any work (see screenshots of my text interactions with them -- note the dates). They were supposed to build a new rubber roof. It started leaking on 3 separate occasions (which btw was never fully fixed -- we moved on to different contractors who did address the issues). And like I said, it would take months for them to actually come back and attempt to fix anything. Often they'd come by, look at the damage, then I wouldn't hear from them for multiple weeks. Meanwhile, more damage continues to accrue to the walls and ceilings. The internal fixes they applied for the water damage were just patch jobs. They just plastered and painted over. Meanwhile, the insulation behind the wall was soaked and accrued black mold that we had to address later. Also worth pointing out a major blunder at the beginning of the project (see attached videos and pics). They opened up the roof, and left it open for multiple days without doing any work. Well of course a major rainstorm came by (which was on the weather forecast well in advance). Alll that water poured into the house in the middle of the night setting off fire alarms. It was a nightmare to deal with on my end.

I did some research online, and found that Mercury Moving was highly recommended, and touted as the "best" in the area. So I read every word on their website, and had my husband check them out as well. We were very impressed with all of the information on there, and decided to give them a try. Best. decision. ever. They showed up to our place right on time, and were extremely careful, friendly and fast. Since we had just donated our car the day before our move, they let my husband ride in the truck with them to our new place, while I took the train. Their guys are really strong, and I was amazed at how efficiently they moved our stuff. When our bed wouldn't fit into the doorway, they found a way through the back porch and maneuvered it to our 2nd floor place without a scratch. They usually charge extra for this kind of thing, but thankfully gave us a break and did it without the charge. We were sure to tip them nicely, of course.

Move day was honestly a piece of cake. Santiago, Jose, and, Nick arrived on time, took care of everything and were loaded up in no time. These guys were amazing - top notch. Efficient, professional, and super pleasant to be around. Without hesitation or reservation, I would refer Mercury to family and friends. This is a top-tier business providing excellent service at a competitive price point. Thank you Mercury.
