We've had the company perform work at our house many times over the past twenty years and each time they've been courteous, well-organized, prompt, and fairly priced. On top of that, their work is fantastic. There's very little they can't do. While we don't look for problems to solve, when we run into them, Cooke & Jones is our first call. If they can't do the work, they sub-contract what's needed or refer us elsewhere. They're fantastic. Period.

Austin came over soon after we made our request, gave us a fair quote, and began the first part of the repair soon after. The project was in two parts because part of the damage was under solar panels. So we paid for what he did, and stayed in touch as the installers weren't able to get to us for weeks. Final roofing work happened yesterday, and he also replaced two shingles that had fallen since he'd left (not his fault). Easy to communicate with, generally responded same day or next day. Would use again.

I would like to warn people not to hire this company, now renamed AP Home Improvements and Repair…read moreLLC, in Gill. The owner is Andrew Paige and his employee is David A. Walker Jr. I interviewed them in the fall to do a kitchen remodel for me. When I asked, Mr. Paige told me he was a registered home improvement contractor and Mr. Walker told me he was a licensed construction supervisor with 20 years of experience. They seemed very agreeable, personable and flexible. Mr. Paige was just starting up his business and offered that I could purchase tools for them and we would take it off the labor cost. I became frustrated because Mr. Paige was showing up very inconsistently and always asking to be advanced more money. I tried to make it work because I wanted the project done. But eventually I started asking about permits and they got skittish and tried to dissuade me. Once I insisted on getting them, Mr. Walker told me he would call the building inspector, and he recounted a conversation to me that he had with someone there, who I later found out from the actual building inspector, is not a real person. Mr. Paige meanwhile said he would help me obtain the permits and then stood me up every day for a week, stalling my ability to get them and move forward. At that point I looked them up on the state registration and licensing boards, which of course I wish I had done to begin with. I discovered they had lied to me from day one. I later confirmed with the HIC registry that they have no record of Mr. Paige's ever applying, and I confirmed with the state public safety board that Mr. Walker has never been licensed in MA. Operating this kind of business in MA without an HIC registration is illegal. Additionally if someone operates this kind of business without an HIC registration, you as the homeowner have less recourse to get help from the state if there is a problem. When I confronted them about their misrepresentations they vanished. They did plumbing and electrical work themselves in my home that they were not licensed or qualified to do, that I have had to pay to correct, because it was hazardous. I did not understand it was out of their scope; I knew very little at the time about how these things work. I am out an enormous amount of money and most of the work on my kitchen still needs doing. I was lucky I found someone who is actually qualified willing to do it. These folks took advantage of me and were in my house regularly and got to know my children. Mr. Paige continues to post photos of the interior of my home on social media to promote his company and when I contacted him he refused to take anything down. He also is promoting his company as "fully licensed" - which is clearly a lie. I have tried to go through the Better Business Bureau to resolve this and get something back, but unsurprisingly, Mr. Paige hasn't responded. I am embarrassed to be in this position but mostly I would like to spare other people the same type of experience. It has been unbelievably stressful and costly.
