Having recently completed a renovation with Augustus Construction in North Truro, our review of our…read moreexperience with this company is an overwhelmingly positive one. We began with a derelict property that needed a lot of TLC and through every step, the owner John Hopkins guided us expertly through the process. His resourcefulness, professionalism and vast knowledge of local building codes allowed us to rehabilitate our space on time and under budget. When unanticipated problems came up both large and small, John was always even keeled and had a creative solution for us to implement. The outcome of our work together is a beautiful space that is much more structurally sound and energy efficient. For any future building project we will definitely be using Augustus Construction.

I recently had a kitchen fully renovated and decided to go with Augustus Construction after reading…read morea few reviews and meeting with the owner, Brian Hopkins. I used a kitchen designer from another state who I've worked with before, and there were several details that hadn't been worked out prior to Augustus Construction starting the project. Covid-19 complicated the work even further with delays both for the cabinets and the appliances. During the time most of the work was being done, I was out-of-state but could see from the outdoor security cameras that workers were on-site first completing the demo, and then preparing the space for the cabinets & appliances. Brian stayed in contact with me when any questions or issues came up, but for the most part he and his team handled everything on-site. I returned to the Cape in late July for the first time since the project began and was very happy to not only see most of the construction was complete, but more importantly, that every issue that I had mentioned during the planning stage and afterwards had been addressed in a way that exceeded my expectations. When I've worked with other contractors in the past, usually things get done the 'easy' way for the contractor rather than what the client wants, especially if the client isn't on-site overseeing the work. Brian & his team paid attention to the finishing details, and from my experience, that hasn't been a common quality of other contractors I've worked with. But best of all, everything was done as perfectly as possible, and I didn't have to beg, plead, or harass anyone to return to finish the job. The job was 100% completed and I'm 100% satisfied.

I cannot recommend Rankine and his team of highly talented craftsmen enough. Rankine's painter painted our bedroom in addition to the bath remodel. The results are beyond incredible.

Paul came to my home last fall to repair a roof leak. He diagnosed the problem, ran it by me, did…read morethe work and I paid him that day cash. I returned from our annual FL trip to find a fair amount of ceiling damage, the leak obviously was not properly fixed. In late May I called Paul. Turns out they are too busy to talk on the phone and they prefer email. I wasted quite a bit of time going back and forth in email being convinced I would have to wait in spite of the fact my roof was still leaking. I waited a month, reached out again, and was reminded that he was still too busy to talk to me. Now it's 3 months later. Numerous recent calls and emails and no response at all. He did a poor job initially and now refuses to own it. So if you are looking for someone who is reliable, responsible, responsive, and easy to work with you should look elsewhere, Paul Johnson is not your guy. He wasted 3 months of my time and now I am scrambling to find someone to clean up his previous work.

They did a fantastic job and we were thrilled with their work. John Ferro and his team were extremely thorough, paid attention to every detail and completed the project on time and on budget. In 2019, we again used Pine Knoll to design and complete and new 16x20 addition and a new deck. The work was again superior, on time and on budget. John F and his team are great to work with, and listen to the customer needs/ideas which was a real plus. I would strongly recommend them, they were the best!
