Terrific job done by Boston Framers!…read more We had contacted seven other contractors before getting such a positive response from Boston Framers. Our initial inquiry was sent on a Saturday, but the owner, Ruy Barbosa, replied within an hour. He met us the following workday to go over our needs and discussed various options. He projected confidence at being able to renovate our deck yet maintain its overall look. He was willing to work with us and the city's historic commission to preserve some key features of the deck. During the course of the work, Ruy and his staff were responsive to questions or changes that we requested. Communication with them was great. They were eager to please us and found ways to make the project stay on-time and within budget, even when curve balls were thrown at them. Overall, they renovated our dilapidated deck boards with composite flooring. They removed heavy railings and pillars, completely overhauled the structural supports, installed the composite flooring and finally replaced the railings & pillars. Additionally, we had them pressure wash and paint the deck. The cost associated with the structural supports and flooring was very much in line with what we believed was reasonable. We liked their work so much that they have also redone our rear porch & steps. Currently we are waiting on estimates for three more home projects. Before and after photos attached

Brutal experience with them back in 2022-2024. Would take weeks and, more than once, even months…read moreto get them to come back and do any work (see screenshots of my text interactions with them -- note the dates). They were supposed to build a new rubber roof. It started leaking on 3 separate occasions (which btw was never fully fixed -- we moved on to different contractors who did address the issues). And like I said, it would take months for them to actually come back and attempt to fix anything. Often they'd come by, look at the damage, then I wouldn't hear from them for multiple weeks. Meanwhile, more damage continues to accrue to the walls and ceilings. The internal fixes they applied for the water damage were just patch jobs. They just plastered and painted over. Meanwhile, the insulation behind the wall was soaked and accrued black mold that we had to address later. Also worth pointing out a major blunder at the beginning of the project (see attached videos and pics). They opened up the roof, and left it open for multiple days without doing any work. Well of course a major rainstorm came by (which was on the weather forecast well in advance). Alll that water poured into the house in the middle of the night setting off fire alarms. It was a nightmare to deal with on my end.

I'm very happy I found Paul on Yelp. He was able to fix a portion of our fence that had blown down…read morein the wind over during the winter. Paul was easy to communicate with and came up with a creative solution to make sure the hole and gap in the fence is fixed properly. The estimate was very good and fair and even ended up being on the cheaper end. I wouldn't hesitate to contact Paul again for any future jobs and I'm glad I found him because let's face it - you always need a good and reliable handyman.

We hired this company to remodel our shower in our master bathroom. They were recommended to me by…read moremy neighbor who also used them and was happy with their work. Not only did they do a wonderful job, they were great to work with. Jon is very honest and fair in his pricing and Mark who did the tiling in the shower was incredible-he did a fantastic job.

I would recommend this company to anyone looking for a contractor. Technically, I did not actually…read morehave them work on a project for me (I thought I needed to replace my basement stairs), but the owner took the time to review photos I sent him and stated it was too small of a project for him to do it. He explained exactly what needed to be done to resolve the problem and that it is an easy fix. I greatly appreciate his honesty and the fact that he didn't try to scam me out of my money by charging me for work I could easily do myself. If I ever need anything done in the future, I would surely contact this company first!

I cannot say enough great things about Joe and his team. From day one Joe was very professional,…read morepunctual and responsive. Windows were over 60 years old and had to be replaced asap! Joe explained the whole process from start to finish and also provided recommendations for external trim - game changer! His pricing was consistent if not a tad cheaper than six other quotes I got. His crew covered everything with plastic (Dexter vibes) to make sure furniture did not get damaged. They also cleaned every day before leaving, not just my unit but also neighbors windows and the street - wow! I could not recommend Boston Doors and Windows more! This was my first "big project" experience and I could not be happier! Thank you thank you thank you!

I found Mr. Handyman through Yelp's Projects feature. You type in some details on what you want…read moredone and Yelp connects you with local companies that can come and quote the job for you. Steve at Mr. Handyman reached out right away and asked me to call him to discuss the details. I called Steve to explain a job I needed done involving an access door from my garage. He explained what he thought would be the best approach and that one of his employees would give me a better idea when he arrived for the quote. Steve explained the pricing, hourly rate, etc. and that his employee would give me a final quote before starting any work. Derek arrived on time for the appointment (I also got a text when he was on his way which was a nice touch). We went through all the details together, he explained what he would do and the estimated cost. I agreed and he got to work. He did an excellent job and the door looks great. I asked about a second project involving our swing set which he thankfully had time to include. Again, he went over all the details and estimates before proceeding. The work quality was again absolutely excellent. Derek cleaned up his work area completely. The final price came in exactly where expected, which I will also say I think is a fair price for the length of time he was here and the quality of the work performed. He asked me about any other needs I had and gave me some documentation regarding the most common jobs his company handles in case I need anything in the future. I can't think of anything about the process that could have been improved here. I would definitely give them a call again if I need anything!

Stan came over, saw my situation and right away knew exactly what I want. He saw that it was very narrow and said he can make it a little wider. While he was there, I mentioned that I want to have my foundation wall finished with stucco. He told me he has a guy who can do that too. Well, I got a couple of other quotes from others and I knew after that Stan was the right guy for the job. His numbers are very reasonable and I can tell he knew what he was doing. Stan has a great crew who showed up early and worked professionally. Good guys! The stairs, landing and the masonry work came out perfect!
