My wife and I bought a very old house in Somersworth about a year ago. i contacted George about a…read morebathroom remodel. He responded right away, gave a good estimate and we had him do the remodel. Work was done in the time he estimated and for the price he quoted. Quality of the work was excellent and he was able to handle all the little (and big) issues that one encounters in an old house. Very satisfied with all his work and hope to get him to do more this year.

My wife and I just moved into a home in Rochester, NH. Although the home was only twenty years old…read moreit was suffering from years of neglect and needed a lot of work. George started working on various interior projects a week after we moved in. He worked a solid two weeks. He started off by doing upgrades and repairs to our three bathrooms. He then replaced ugly carpeting on two sets of stairs and replaced hardwood stairs. This included staining and and putting two coats of polyurethane on the stairs. What was once a major eyesore is now beautiful, to say the least. George is very professional and does solid work. Even better than that his prices are fair. We like him so much that he is coming back in a few weeks to rebuild our deck and put in a patio. I would recommend George for almost every household fixup issue. I am so happy that he was recommended to us!

The women working there are bored and contemptuous. We bought a slab, which we picked after looking…read moreat slabs in 3 different states and we found the perfect one here. I even would come back and look at it to admire it in the 2 months it took for the cabinets to come in. We did not get our cabinets there. We wanted to initially but they just seemed asleep at the wheel and like they didn't care whether we went with them or not and didn't help us to make decisions out of indifference. But whatever. We loved the marble slab and they would fabricate it, install it, etc., so fine. When I went to check out the slab a few days before they were to come--we went to see how they had laid out the template on the **2 slabs** we had picked and.......there was only one--and it was NOT the same slab we had picked and had been waiting all this time for. A worker confessed they had given the slabs to someone else and swapped out the slabs for a different lot. This lot, and the slots were darker and had lots of brown in it, which we did NOT want and we intentionally--as I said--had selected the slabs we wanted for the exact color of THOSE slabs. We had selected all the colors of the kitchen based on what we had selected. We picked the cabinets based on it, the backsplash, the wall color, the shelving, the flooring. The slab we wanted was shimmering luminescent sparkling white with streaks of green and blue-grey. This slab was opaque and none of the green or blue. The disdainful women sneered and said it was the exact slab/lot we had bought. I had photos of the original slab and showed them it was different. They lied to our faces and said with a shrug "Don't know what to tell you. You can pick something else but it'll be 12 weeks before we'd be able to schedule. " My Mom is 95 years old--back then she was 92--literally days before Thanksgiving, and we could not have plywood countertops for Thanksgiving and for 3 months subsequently. Plus, there was no comparable stone in their yard to what we had selected, so even if we decided to wait....they had no stone like the one we DID pick out. I started writing this review 3 years ago when this all happened and was so heartbroken I couldn't finish. Three years later....it still is awful and a massive disappointment. My Mom was going for her dream kitchen this late in life, and these ugly white and brown slabs that were NOT the slabs we picked have not improved. I wonder to this day who came along with a wad of money and convinced "Quality" Granite to give them OUR slab. Incredibly sad and kind of sickening. I am embarrassed when people pretend to like the countertops because they're not the magical sparkling counters my Mom fell in love with. Two stars because the installers did a great job and were polite and professional.

All started out well with Michael Bragg, as he returned my inital email, and came out for an…read moreestimate quite quickly. I walked him through the job I wanted to have done, which was redoing the exterior trim on our house around our three garage bays and well as some of the front sections on our house in PVC board. I would also have him install a ceiling fan and Nest thermostats. He came, spent a good amount of time at the house and supplied an estimate for the job. He seemed like a decent person and I enjoyed talking with him and as no other contractors had even retuned my calls (I called 4 others in the area). I was very clear with him that I wanted the job done right, and done once (something I repeated to him many times while he was working on the house as well, and he said this was how he worked). I gave him the job.  Upon arriving, I had decided to expand the job to the entire front of the house, as he had told me he had some time between jobs, and I figured it would be best to do it all at once. I asked him for a rough estimate, and as it was reasonable, I moved forward. As he started pulling up the trim, he found some areas of water damage, which delayed the project about day. You can't not fix water damage, so the delay was understandable and by end of the second day, all the damage was repaired.  That's where it all when downhill. After this point, progress was slow and I wanted to see what was going on. He gave me a number of excuses for why pieces were't done yet, and among those was the fact that one of the garage bays was a different size than he was expecting, and he had already cut the material and would need to remeasure and cut again. I was quite astonished by this, but thought I'd wait to see how he billed for his error. After this, I decided to work from home as many days as possible to keep an eye on him and his team. Following that, his team (of 5 people now working hourly at $400 each) had issues with the cold, started packing up at 2:30 and were gone by 3. I was charged for the full day for all workers. I should note here that as I was talking to him before the job, he said he worked from 8 to 5 and was the kind of person to make sure the person to be thorough and clean up after the job every day. Every day, his entire team was packing up before 4, and were gone at 4 on the dot. Michael himself was always there at or before 8 and often stayed after 4 to chat with me, but this was usually as I asked him questions about the job as I had a number of concerns. At the end of the first week, I was watching him team taking apart the siding, with one person particularly struggling with the removal.  He nearly ripped off part of the roof, and damaged some of the rain guides (sorry, I don't know the actual term for what this piece is) in the progress. Another working was replacing siding, but doing so at an angle.  I spoke with Michael and told him I did not want either of these people working on the house anymore. He understand and agreed, and told me they weren't usually on his team. On week two of the job, I told him I needed him to finish up by the end of the week, as I would be leaving town and the job was getting more and more expensive, as he decided he would start working hourly and would need to order much more material than expected (even after buying more material when I expanded the job on day one, and in the end, he didn't have enough material to do the remaining part of the job - I did end out with hundreds worth of leftover material, though the wrong size to finish the primary portions trim I needed him to complete.) Week two was supposed to be his remaining team of 3 (something he confirmed on Monday), plus one person coming back to do a high ceiling fan and thermostats that were itemized on the original estimate. He said he would be able to complete the job by the end of the week.  Throughout the job, I did tell him what needed to be done, and that if he was unable to, to let me know so we could make a gameplan to do the most important parts first, and wait on the rest. Every day I checked in on him and all was on track.  As I mentioned earlier, I constantly reminded him that it needed to be done right, not fast - which needed to be reiterated after seeing a lot of cracked siding, misaligned siding, damaged elements and his team working slow).
