Chris Sherriff and his team performed beyond all expectations. The initial meeting showed that he understood what we wanted and made suggestions the were right on to what we had in mind. Once the project started all efforts were made to furnish superior workmanship and excellent professional results. Always paying attention to details and offering useful suggestions showing how much they all were invested in making the best results. Great people and we have found a solution for any future projects. We expressed how grateful we were for the end result. You would be advised to seek this contractor if for nothing else peace of mind and a project within your budget. read more

Chris Sherriff did our kitchen renovation recently. He did a great job, on budget, and finished early. His work is excellent quality, and he also has first class subcontractors. He kept us informed throughout the project, was really tidy, and we couldn't be happier with the final result. Plus he is a super nice guy who we enjoyed seeing every day. For sure we will hire Chris again for any renovations. read more

Sherriff Fine Building & Remodeling - Our new kitchen - General Contractors Near Me

What can you say about a complete bathroom renovation project that was completely without stress for the home owner? From Chris's first site-visit that included clipboard notations and photos I was impressed. The entire process was so well managed with timely notification of the project start, the multiple subcontractor visits, and handling of permitting and city inspections. What a pleasure to deal with a contactor who is inherently honest with great communication skills! The quality of the work was first rate, and any difficulties in the project were pointed out in advance to allow for the proper solution, and without additional cost. Chris used multiple subcontractors for all specialty work that included electrical, plumbing, sheetrock, plastering, and floor/wall tile. Ergo, the finished product was pure quality. The work space was cleaned daily and all workers were very respectful and polite. Assuredly I would use Chris for any and all future projects. read more

After two extremely frustrating, disappointing, and painful experiences with local contractors, a colleague and friend recommended Chris Sherriff to us. Hiring Chris Sherriff was the BEST decision we could have made. Chris Sherriff has restored our faith in local contractors, and after what we had endured previously, this was no small feat! Chris and his right-hand-man, Warren, were extremely professional, knowledgeable, and experienced. Our small kitchen was in dire need of a major overhaul, and we were beyond impressed by Chris's ability (and patience!) to listen to our vision, offer suggestions, guidance, and advice, and expertly see our vision to fruition. Having a renovation done in the midst of a pandemic could have been an absolute nightmare, but Chris and his team are true professionals, and they run like a well-oiled machine. As others have mentioned in their reviews, Chris and Warren became like family. They were prompt, responsive, personable, reliable, attentive, hard-working, and professional. We were so impressed by their attention to detail, their organization, and all of their efforts to maintain a meticulously clean working environment. Above all, they were honest, transparent, and reliable. These are qualities that had been woefully missing with previous contractors, and to us, this sets Chris and his team apart from all the others. Chris Sherriff's workmanship is impeccable, and the quality of his craftsmanship is worth the cost. Chris was upfront and thorough with his estimate, and after the horrendous experiences we had previously endured, this transparency was appreciated. Our small 1920's house is a work in progress, but we will most DEFINITELY hire Chris Sherriff and his team again for any and all work we have done in the future. We cannot say enough positive things about Sherriff Fine Building & Remodeling, and we highly recommend them. read more

Chris, Warren and their team have done two projects at our house and they are outstanding. These guys are everything you want in a contractor: honest, fair, transparent, amazing at what they do. We could t be happier with our finished basement, new bathroom, new mini-split system, two new sets of stairs... the list goes on and on! I'd hire Chris again in a heartbeat. read more

Requested estimate twice in the past year. Never received an estimate either time. I cannot understand someone bothering to come to our house, spend an hour talking about what we are looking for, and never following through....twice! Never gave us estimate either time. read more

We gutted and renovated our bathroom, also converting it from a half bath to full bath. Chris and Warren were fantastic. They did great work while also being respectful and careful of our home, including kids and pets. I would recommend them in a heartbeat and will be hiring them again in the future! read more

I recently bought a home that needed a lot of TLC. We decided the first thing to tackle was a kitchen reno as it is the focal point of the home and also needed the most help. After reaching out to many non-responsive local contractors, we contacted Chris and a received a response almost immediately. We scheduled a time for him to come out and give us an estimate of the job. What I appreciated off the bat was his "no nickel and diming" approach. The estimate was fair and we hired him to start our kitchen. I'm sure there are contractors out there who may be cheaper or claim to be able to do the work for less but I'm a big believer in 'You get what you pay for". Chris started demo the day he said he would. He took much care to protect our floors and draped plastic around the work area to contain as much dust as possible. The job site was cleaned after each day and tools were not scattered all over the place. He keeps a very clean and organized work space. He shows up each day when he says he will and communicated with us any time he was running a few minutes behind or had to step out. We were never kept in the dark. Chris answered any questions that we had. He was very accommodating of our requests and was even gracious enough to look at a few other small problems in the house even though they were not in the scope of work. This is where we most appreciated his no nickel and diming approach. The quality and workmanship was top notch and we were thrilled with the end result. We've already told Chris that he should be hearing from us regarding our next home project. read more

Chris and his crew just completed a kitchen renovation for us, and we are thrilled with the results. His workmanship is exceptional and his team was professional and a joy to work with. Every step of the project was carried out as described and was completed as predicted. He communicated with us daily to keep us abreast of the schedule and kept the workspace enclosed and neat. He and his team were enormously helpful when we had questions or were undecided on some aspect of the project, pointing out the pros and cons of each idea. His quote was competitive and very fair. I highly recommend Chris and his team, and they will be the only ones I will call for home projects in the future. read more

I was introduced to Chris Sherriff through a mutual friend in 2014, and have worked with him several times. As a real estate broker, I work with many contractors, and I must say Chris is second to none. For example, I was selling a Woburn home in Spring 2016. An inspection revealed an issue that required an experienced contractor to solve. My first call was to Chris. At a time of year when all good contractors are busy, and many don't return calls, Chris came to help right away. He promptly proposed a solution, and his expertise was crucial in getting the deal closed. Call Chris Sherriff for your next project. read more

Sherriff Fine Building & Remodeling is owned by Mr. Chris Sherriff. After many years working for others in the construction business, Chris decided the time was right to start his own business. My wife and I have had Chris work on our home on two separate occasions with excellent results both times. Chris is a hard working, dependable contractor. We will most definitely be hiring Chris to do work on our home in the future. read more

Chris came to our rescue after a horrible experience with a different contractor. He and his team were extremely professional, punctual, hardworking, and knowledgeable. It was an absolute pleasure to work with him and he will be our go-to for any project from now on. I wish we had found him the first time around! It is so hard to find honest, skilled workers these days and Chris is really one of a kind. I can't recommend him highly enough. read more

Last year I hired Chris to finish my attic. He did such a great job that when we decided to have our sun room completely re-hauled, we knew exactly who to call. Having Chris do the work on our house takes all of the stress out of renovations because we know it's in good hands. During the quote, Chris is always sure to inspect every detail and ask questions about things I hadn't thought of to make sure there were no surprise charges at the end of the job. Unlike many other contractors I've worked with who send a smart guy for the quote and send lazy dudes for the actual work, Chris works with you from start to finish - from the quote to the actual work and is present to oversee all sub-contracting. For those few items he doesn't install himself (electrical, plastering), he uses trustworthy, professional guys who do pristine work. Chris always makes sure that everything he works on is completely sound - after ripping up my siding to replace it, he found that the underlying structure had been more rotten than expected. Instead of ignoring it and covering up, he took the extra time to completely replace the framing before continuing on. Even with a flat quote, he put in an extra week of work to replace my framing and doesn't cut corners with cheap materials. He takes pride in doing the best job possible and making the structure solid and low-maintenance. He puts up with my neurotic requests, like raising a window a couple of inches to be in line with the door header and bead-board on a cathedral ceiling, and takes care to do fine finish work that I hadn't though of, like the symmetrical placement of new windows and siding decorations. read more

I wanted to build a workshop room in my basement, and contacted Sherriff after a recommendation from a neighbor. Chris Sherriff helped me to figure out a good plan for what to do, sent an estimate promptly and did the work quickly. Most importantly he communicated very well about options and costs, and the project was done more quickly than I expected and within budget (except for 2 small additions, which I knew about). Overall both very good work professionally executed. Sherriff is on my list to call next time I have a project. read more

Once again Chris to the rescue. As usual I decided at the last minute, to replace some drafty 30 year old windows and called Chris to help me out before my oil burner, which never stops running, puts me in the poor house. He came over, took the measurements and expedited the widows from the factory. He installed my new ENERGY EFFICIENT WINDOWS, yesterday, painted the window trim so that not only are the windows new, but the trim looks new also. He always does that extra little bit of detail work that makes the difference between him and the rest of the crowd. His prices are always reasonable and he's very accommodating. I couldn't be more happy with the finished product. read more

Unfortunately I cannot comment on their work and craftsmanship....I can comment on their customer service: Terrible! I was excited to have Chris come out for an estimate as his work was highly recommended. However, I got one (maybe two) call backs saying he could come out the following week. Chris never followed up to set an appointment, nor did he call when he said he would and none of my calls were answered after our initial discussion. Very disappointed that I was essentially forgotten about... read more

I honestly can't say enough good things about Chris and his team. We were referred to him from a neighbor and from the day we met him until the day he finished our project, he was nothing but professional, attentive and thorough. We had our upstairs bathroom completely gutted, and they transformed it from a 1950's outdated design to an absolutely gorgeous modern bathroom straight out of a magazine. I was very scared to do any sort of renovation because I had heard nothing but horror stories from family and friends. Our experience was nothing but fun and pleasant. Chris and his team truly became part of our family while they were working in our home, and my two young children looked forward to them arriving every morning. They did everything they said, exceeded timelines and did a flawless job with prep and cleanup. Once they finished the project, we were so sad to see them go that we're now trying to come up with other renovations simply so that we can continue working with them. Truly can't recommend enough! read more

There were some qualities that I was looking for in a contractor to remodel my kitchen and Chris Sherriff definitely displayed all of them plus more! My top 3 qualities were honesty, trustworthy, and professionalism. Chris did not try to gyp or swindle us in any way, he gave us a quote and would update us on any scope of work for the week. He got permits and inspections done when needed, he got his electrician to fix illegal electrical work in the living room when it was discovered as well as electrical work in other rooms (no extra charges), he also installed my dryer when the company that dropped it off wouldn't do it. Chris showed up when he said he would and before he left he would always clean up. Chris is extremely reliable - we left our house key with him for days because I ended up going into labor and couldn't be home. By the time we got home with our baby, Chris made sure the work was completed soon after. He and his wife even got our son a little gift! We're definitely hiring him again to remodel our bathroom. So if you are looking for fine craftsmanship for a reasonable price by someone that has good morals (which is hard to find these days), Sherriff Fine Building & Remodeling is the way to go! read more

I completely recommend Chris ....he just finished updating a woefully dated kitchen. the results were better than hoped for! His project estimate was spelled out clearly and the actual cost was under budget (yes, you read that correctly!). The job timeline was adhered to...the subcontractors were very good. All in all, if you are looking for a contractor, look no further! read more

Chris Sherriff completed a full kitchen renovation for us which was an extensive project updating a 1930s style kitchen that was woefully out of date and in need of complete new electrical, walls, and ceiling. Sheriff helped choose a cabinet designer who was very helpful in coming with a space efficient plan for our 100 sf kitchen. Chris was extremely helpful throughout the process; his work was impeccable, and we liked his subcontractors. The kitchen is a complete transformation that we are going to enjoy for many years to come. Chris helped us make some good design decisions and avoid some bad ones, and he was very easy to communicate with keeping us informed at every stage of the project. Also, his work in the house was extremely tidy and we did not notice any extra dust in the duration of the project. We thought the estimate was reasonable and the final invoice was right on target with the estimate. We highly recommend his work. read more

My husband and I started a complete bathroom remodel in January of 2010. We were turning a half bath into a full. By the time summer rolled around I was 6 months pregnant and had had it with the fact that my husband preferred fishing to getting the bathroom finished. We called Sherriff Building and he came and gave us a quote to plaster the walls in the bathroom, it was completely reasonable and they did a fantastic job. I really appreciated the fact that they were able to keep the volume down while I tried to nap on my vacation and they got it all done in one (very) hot day. I've recommended them to several friends who are thinking about doing work on their homes. read more

Chris worked closely with us to fine tune the design for our bathroom remodeling project. His experience and advice improved the layout and gave us the open space we desired. His workmanship is first class and the end result is outstanding in every aspect. We have other projects in mind and Chris would be our hands down choice. read more

I highly recommend Chris Sherriff for any home improvement projects you have. He remodeled our 1940s small bathroom to a beautiful updated bathroom. From start to finish Chris was a professional. He responded to a request for a quote in a prompt manner. He was early for the quote. I have rarely met a contractor who was early. He was easy to talk to and a good listener as we talked about my ideas for the bathroom. He got the project done within his estimated time schedule and was in touch with me each day in regard to the progress of the project. He explained to me when the plumber, electrician, and tilers were coming. He was also quite good dealing with the variety of inspectors. There was an issue with an old pipe we weren't anticipating but he and the plumber came up with a solution and we were glad this problem could be addressed. One of his co-workers (Mike) on the job day to day was also quite good. They were both respectful and courteous. Each day the job was cleaned up and they empathized with the fact that any project causes a disruption to the household. We are very pleased with the final project too! read more

We were referred to Chris Sherriff after a bad experience with our home renovations project. He remedied all of our problems providing us with a beautiful kitchen, staircase and tile work. Chris takes great pride in his work, is very detail oriented and it shows in his workmanship. We were so pleased with the qualify of his work that we rehired Chris to install an electric fireplace, mantel & crown molding in our living room, front & rear storm doors plus additional interior work. We look forward to working with him once again when we begin our next project. Chris is very professional, reliable, and the qualify of his work is outstanding. read more

We just had Chris Sherriff (Sherriff Fine Building) install several windows and repair some damaged vinyl siding in our home. I was as impressed with Chris and his team as I have ever been with a contractor. Chris said exactly what he was going to do and did exactly what he said. His work was well planned and budgeted, but not so rigid that things could not be addressed as they came up. His work is professional and clean. Chris will definitely be back to our house in the future. read more

Chris is amazing. My husband and I hired him to construct and put doors on our unfinished closets and to build a new closet, along with shelves in our second bedroom. Chris was fabulous. Not only did he do an impressive job, but he was professional, punctual, and affordable. (He also was great with our two large labrador retrievers.) I can't say enough about how well the job came out. He also insulated our bedroom and helped us put up a large piece of art. Chris was also great about finding the right paint color for the inside of our home and took the liberty of touching up places in our second bedroom. Chris is also a lovely person and very easy to work with. He did the job in literally 5 days all by himself. I could not give him a better review. We intend to hire him to update our fireplace as well. Please feel free to contact me for additional information about Chris. Thank you Chris!!! read more

We hired Chris Sherriff to remodel our bathroom and remove a sink that was in our bedroom (must have been the cool thing to have in the 80s when our townhouse was built). When he initially came out, I liked him right away and he came back with a very reasonable estimate very quickly. The remodel involved replacing our toilet, vanity, mirror, lights and ripping up two layers of linoleum and putting down tile. He also took out the sink from our bedroom, cut off the pipe and put up sheet rock on the wall as well as put in a baseboard. Since we only have one shower, Chris did his work so that we could still shower everyday. It took him about 5-6 days total and he kept everything so clean and tidy. I can't say enough good things about him and will definitely use him again for any projects that come up as well as recommend him to friends. He also gave us a bottle of wine for Christmas which was such a nice, unexpected surprise. read more
