Jackson and his crew have provided services to our triple decker in Cambridge for several years,…read morewith services ranging from short handyman type jobs cleaning, to two complete bathroom remodels, deck powerwashing/staining, cleaning, and interior painting. Jackson is extremely responsive and easy to communicate with. He was able to quote and complete two bathroom remodels in a very tight timeline (between tenants), came exactly when promised, completed the work with quality and on-time, and at the agreed-upon price -- and left everything extremely clean. I had positive interactions with multiple members of the crew, who really seemed to know what they were doing. I recommend!

I have also enlisted Jack's crew for handyman projects within my unit such as hanging or rehanging prints and a mirror, removing a useless basement door lock and an unused length of cable left by the prior owner. Earlier on, the ceiling of my spare room had to be repainted due to a stain caused by a defective gutter issue. Pristine paint job. The ceiling looked brand new when finished. I already have a list of upcoming jobs to be done including the removal of "clutter" after a late spring cleaning. The crew couldn't be nicer or more accommodating and ..... the price is always right!

I hired D&D Home Improvements to "fix" the basement finishing work of another contractor that…read morewasn't done to code. Dennis S., the owner of D&D, agreed to take on the job and he worked directly with my town's building inspector to come to agreement on the remediation and bring my basement up to code. When it made sense, Dennis brought in other contractors (electricians, plumbers, etc.) and I hired and paid them directly. At other times, Dennis' crew and subcontractors worked on aspects of the job. At all times, Dennis was personally involved. He kept me informed, coordinated the variety of personnel, and was the face of the project to the various town inspectors. Dennis was also very communicative on what he thought should be done in the remediation and flexible in taking my input. He also personally extended himself to be onsite and meet with the building inspector when I couldn't. I am very pwith the work that was done and my experience with Dennis, D&D, and the various contractors that worked on my basement. I felt that Dennis had my best interests at heart and I would happily use him and D&D for other projects. I'm also happy to speak with prospective customers and share my very positive experience with Dennis and D&D. Thank you, Dennis!

Scott and his crew - all highly professional and pleasant -- did an exceptional job gutting the space, putting up walls, installing kitchen cabinets, tile and windows. Their carpentry and tile work was meticulous, as was their cleanup every evening. Scott's subs- for plaster, electrical, plumbing, and painting - were also top notch. Although there were the inevitable hiccups, Scott and his crew were patient and creative and always found a good solution. Scott was always responsive and on top of all the details. The project was well priced and completed on time!! In a nutshell, working with Scott and his crew was awesome. We recommend CHI without reservation and look forward to working with Scott in the future.

If I could give Tom more than 5 stars - I certainly would. Finally....finally... a home…read moreimprovement person in Massachusetts who actually shows up and does what they say they will do. I had Tom come out to give me an estimate for a number of small jobs around the house that I needed to get done before putting the house up for sale...some painting, repairing a sticking door, replacing a towel rack that I tried to do myself and royally screwed up, replacing a small deck outside the back door and some patching and painting of drywall that had cracked. First, Tom showed up exactly on time for our appointment for the estimate - first very good sign since my experience with contractors/handymen is that they work on their own time. Tom was super nice and very friendly. He looked at all the work I needed done and took notes. We had a nice conversation and I immediately felt comfortable with having him in my home to do the work without me being there. When the estimate came in it was more than fair for the work to be done. I accepted his estimate and we set for him to start on Monday. Again, based on my past experience, I really didn't expect him to show on Monday, but he did and got a lot of the work done. I was so pleased when I got home and saw how much he had done and that he worked very cleanly. Tom came back on Tuesday to finish up and everything is perfect. The work is high quality and you can't even tell any work was done in the places he fixed/repaired. I could not be more pleased with the great job that Tom did and I would recommend him to anyone and will definitely call him again should I need any work done.

Initially, I was impressed with Tony and the paint job (since a new coat of paint always looks…read morenice) but, after the project was fully paid and I began to experience issues, Tony's tune totally changed. During early conversations with Tony, he lead me to believe that he would be using high-quality Benjamin Moore paint to complete the job, as well as performing any prep work, including sanding and priming. However, it was only after the project was underway that I noticed Tony switched the paint to use cheap Valspar paint, which I specifically asked him not to use due to issues I have had with it in the past. I brought up my concerns to Tony and he assured me that the paint would work fine and that he would cover any issues that may arise due to using it. Also, crucial prep work was skipped during the painting process. The kitchen cabinets were not sanded or primed before painting over the existing, tacky, peeling paint. It has only been 2 months and, currently, the paint on my kitchen cabinets scratches right off, chips from normal use, and leaks color when wet. The cabinets have already had to be touched up by both Tony and myself. However, despite me bringing this to Tony's attention within the 6 month guarantee window he provided me, he was reluctant to do anything about it stating that I just need to stop worrying about it. I have now contacted (4) other professional painters to understand what went wrong to see if I could fix the issues myself and all (4) have told me that, because Tony used cheap wall paint that is not meant for cabinets and did not follow the professional process for doing the job correctly, my only option is to strip the cabinets completely and start over. I am now looking at having to pay a minimum $3,400 to correct Tony's work despite still being within his guarantee window. Tony's only proposed solutions are to either paint over the existing paint, which all (4) other professionals have stated will not fix the problem, or provide me with a $600 refund, leaving me to pay $2,800 out of pocket to fix the damages. His defense is that I never told him the original cabinets needed to be prepped or that he needed to use cabinet paint, which are both unrealistic expectations since he was supposed to be the professional with the expertise to know how to do the job properly.

My wife and I hired Northwoods to build an addition to our house in Wakefield, MA. We had a set of…read moreplans from an architect, so we just needed construction services, no design services. Both John S. and Clint K. were easy to work with during the estimate phase and provided an approximate start month which they stuck too once the contract was signed. All phases of the construction were done efficiently and fluidly. There was very little downtime in between trades and they found ways to keep progress through a New England winter. The employees of Northwoods were all skilled, courteous, and clean. They performed some amazing tile and carpentry work and all the other subcontractor trades they brought in, from the framers to the plasterers, painters, plumber, electrician, insulation, landscape/hardscaping, etc. were all exceptional. Their project superintendent, John R, is amazing at his job and has a strong command of schedule and coordinating the trades as needed. A few small bumps along the way were all handled quickly and fairly. The finished product is amazing, and we couldn't have been happier with the end result. We would highly recommend Northwoods Builder for any size house project.
