    For my major rennovations in Orleans, I found the firm to be overly expensive, inattentive to key…read morerequirements, slow, inaccurate, and inefficient. They provided what appeared to be rushed artifacts with gross errors that should not have been presented to a client. They were not very responsive to requests for corrections or complete, accurate documentation. I suspect poor internal communications between leadership and staff. When I was allowed to interact directly with a staff member working my design, I found that fundamental client constraints had not been flowed down. That person was very responsive, but further failures by leadership led me to fire the firm.

    Working with Aline has been an amazing experience. We had a nondescript center-hall colonial box of…read morea house, with minimal light and zero charm. Aline has transformed it into a bright, spacious, and inviting space, all in keeping with our vision of optimal use and our aesthetic preferences. Inside and out, the house is unique and interesting and incredibly practical. Changes have included converting a small bedroom into a walk-in closet, converting a small living room into a den/first-floor bedroom, converting a kitchen and dining room into a much larger kitchen with a center island and a pantry, converting a family room into a dining room, adding a new center entryway, and converting the garage into a 500-square-foot great room that is flooded with light all day long. Apart from just being a lovely person, Joy Cumings has been sensitive to our taste, as well as our budget, breaking the transformation up into five independent phases, each of which created a nice, livable version of the house pending the next step. I could not possibly recommend Aline's architectural services more confidently or more enthusiastically.

    My parents needed help when they decided to upgrade their kitchen and bath…read more After twenty five years in their home, they wanted to change the kitchen from dark cabinets to something lighter and more of today's styles. We looked into the large stores but decided to take a chance on a local company that we heard advertising on the radio. Lewis and Weldon was advertising their new line of cabinetry, Cranberry Cove, not only were their prices great, but they could handle everything from design, to installation. And, all the cabinetry would be constructed right on site, at their shop. My parents could see the design plans from their design group before they started and they could visit the shop during construction to see everything being built. Thanks Chuck and all at Lewis and Weldon for being so gracious in helping my parents with a major change in their life. Nancy

    Do your research on this company! His contract reads he will make every effort to complete the job…read morewithin 6 months but this may vary depending on circumstances. We contracted with him late September 2023 and our job still is not completed one year later. He told us he could have it done by April or May! He has a tendency to get ahead on his billing saying items are 100% done when they are not completed. Some of his subcontractors are great but others come in and never complete even the work that can be done. When something is done incorrectly they have a bucket full of excuses, some I have never heard of. I would be very hesitant to believe reviews that are positive here or on Angi's list. If you want a good experience remodeling your home look elsewhere.

    If there were a negative star (Charlie Sheen?), that would be the rating. This would take far too…read morelong, so I'll number it and try to be concise: 1) Sales Rep told us "no demo required" and drafted a plan for somewhere between 9-11 galvanized steel piers to be driven into "bedrock" (later explained to not be the case). 2) $10K deposit already processed when the crew showed up. a) "This diagram is inaccurate." "We need to go under the deck and rip up the first 8-10 planks". b) Wrong - we can't go under the deck. "We need to chisel out the floor at the rear of the garage to install 4 piers there". 3) AFTER I was told they had to go in through the garage floor, I told them not to come back, and I needed a day to review all changes, send me a new contract, and drawings. After digesting all the changes, I called and asked if I should grab some 12 mil plastic sheeting to cover up everything in the garage. Digging, cement dust, dirt = headaches. "The crew will take care of all of that for you". After you read this, LOOK at the garage pics, and EVERYTHING the crew DID NOT cover. Free of charge, I get to take everything from my garage and remove the layers of cement dust and dirt off all of it. All my tools, the kayaking equipment, all chairs, the 9 ft high shelving - EVERYTHING. They only had to say "yeah, probably a good idea", and they'd be off the hook. But not Ground Works. It's a DNA thing to just tell anyone what they want to hear. That would have taken me 45 minutes, but now I get to spend hours on another Keystone cops outcome. 4) This 3-4 day job, tomorrow am, 23 Jun, will be day 14. 5) They had an excavator, all the dirt, boulders, and other loose stones parked on the side of the lawn for 13 days before removal. 6) AFTER finally removing the excavator - 22 June - the crew told me I was supposed to remit payment. a) They haven't addressed the large crack in the corner of the garage, and b) I financed 60% of the job through their 3rd party finance company, GreenSky. There is no money owed them, once they finish - it's now on a payment plan through GreenSky. PS - Their office has NO IDEA how this works. Called 3 times to ensure billing would be applied to the account we were approved for. NO CLUE AT ALL. 7) They also had to dig to the foundation on the R side of the garage (known). They dug it up to spill over the retaining wall into the neighbor's driveway. The neighbors couldn't use half their driveway for the same two weeks due to dirt and stones falling into their driveway. Read GROK (preferred AI), & their BBB ratings (33 W Bacon St, Plainville, MA specifically). There is always an excuse, and it's death by a thousand cuts with these guys. I NEVER WANT ANY COMPANY TO LOSE WORK, because there are too many people who lose business because ppl want their butts kissed. Absolutely not the case here. LOOK at the pics, and imagine this is your yard, your house, and all the extra work you get to do after they've left. This is only written so no one else has to go through anything like this, and I'm kicking myself for not trusting my gut. When you see the images of their dump truck in my neighbor's driveway, that's when the home office told the kid to run to Home Depot and jack in some hydraulic cement into a large foundational crack. It was exposed when digging, but they never addressed it. Now it's "sealed" only from the ground up. Good riddance, and I'll dig it out myself to not have them come back. THAT'S how they completed the job. Remember, this company told us 3-4 days. The ONLY reason I agreed to ripping up the garage floor was that I would have it back in a few days. The left hand never knows what the right hand is doing. I hope they read this, and refute it - I'll be happy to elaborate further, this is enough for now. Again, use your preferred AI for reviews, prompt it for follow-ups, delays, service, complaints, and the longer list of complaints for return calls. Prompt for BBB issues with Ground Works at this location. No pun intended, but DIG DEEPER. You do not want this experience.
