I recently hired Gerry for a complete exterior paint project. After sourcing a few quotes, Gerry…read morewas the most responsive and fairly priced. He estimated 3 days for the project and that's exactly what he delivered. He was on sight with his team throughout. They were professional, cleaned up neatly after every day, and had great attention to detail on the many fine trim areas of my 1910 Craftsman home. If you need pro painting services, give Gerry a call!

In March a good friend of mine called me up and said that he found a good painter for me for the…read moreright price. He also recommended that I would do it right away. I called Josh and talked to him about my house that is huge and old; as I told him, I needed to repair the windows before the paint job could be completed. Josh said that he knew a carpenter who could do the windows and would paint the house after the repairs were done. As it turned out, I needed to get 27 windows fixed. So I had a bargain, a good carpenter who was ready to go up three stories to get my windows on the top floor and a painter who was going to paint my three-decker. Eventually, J&J came after all the repairs were completed and painted my house in 10 days. They were extremely efficient, professional, and pleasant to deal with. They answered my concerns by scraping, sanding, and caulking all surfaces. They used primer and good paint. Some of my neighbors came over to Josh to ask him whether he could paint their houses too. There was no drama, no mess. They told me in advance to inform other residents not to use the common area for a day or two. I definitely hope to hire them for inside jobs and recommend them for outside painting.

Dan's team completed one job for us and is in process of another. They did a bathroom renovation in…read moreabout a week after having a really tough time scheduling a contractor in the area. They were efficient, worked through the weekend, picked up materials, and even found that there was some shoddy plumbing from the previous owners that was leading to a leak (the original reason for the bathroom remodel). The bathroom looks great! The guys and Dan were cheery and flexible as we have a newborn in the house and they'd stop work so that the baby could sleep. I liked working with them so much I had them paint the exterior of the house which they are on track to complete in a week. Dan's prices are fair and these days trying to get someone to come by and complete a job quickly is almost impossible. I'll be asking Dan's team to do more work in the future!

I had a great experience having John Kearns and Countryside repaint the exterior of our Somerville…read morethree-story. The pricing was clear and they checked about any additions beforehand. They kept the yard clean, with no smoking/music, and thorough site protection from lead while scraping. John painted a number of samples of our red siding colors on the house so we could find the match we liked, and also took care of matching the cream and blue colors. He and the crew also made some recommendations (like painting the downspouts and adjusting the deck color to match the rest of the house better), but didn't press if I decided differently. They also identified areas that needed wood repair (fascia, siding, porch base) and did those very nicely, again with clear pricing ranges up front. The couple times I wasn't happy with something, they fixed it right away. There was a tricky spot to reach on a 3rd floor dormer, and when I called it out they went back and got it. And the crew scraped/prepped a railing that I had initially not asked to be repainted, but they just included it in the repainting without charging extra. They aren't cheap, but the quality of work and communication is excellent. I won't hesitate to contact John again.

John and his people (especially JP) were great. A beautiful paint job on my house. John is…read moreespecially good at setting expectations and communicating throughout the job. Communication is often not the strong suit of contractors. My house had some rotted clapboards (actually, many) and John was able to arrange for someone to replace them as part of the project.

I called these guys a few weeks before putting my house on the market. I was under a tight…read moredeadline (2 weeks) and stressed about keeping my deadline while getting everything done on the house. The crew performed a timely estimate and clearly understood exactly what services I wanted. They wrote it up and were able to start quickly to accommodate my timeline. I found the estimate very reasonable considering the number of man hours that would be involved. I estimated it would have taken me several weekends to do the job myself, and I'm even more impressed by the value after seeing the attention to detail paid to the job. On the day of the services, the crew took their time to ensure the work was done right. They removed 3" of sludge from the rain gutters circling my house, and were very careful to clean up after themselves. i was expecting a hurried job for the price, but instead was very surprised at the careful manner in which they did the windows. They removed each storm window and individually squee-geed each pane (insides and out) of my 16-panel windows. Very tedious work but these guys did a great job cleaning everything inside and out. I also had them powerwash my deck and foundation. The house looks immaculate. After the work was completed they put everything back as it was and I was really happy with the final result! Highly recommended. They were also very good about keeping me informed about the progress, which is rare with residential service providers.

I would highly recommend RJT Carpentry and Tile for your kitchen and bathroom renovations. I…read morerecently had Ryaan and team gut renovate my kitchen as well as do a more minor renovation in my bathroom. I must say that I was impressed with the designer with whom they work, Anna Orfanides. I told her what style I was looking for, and Anna knocked it out of the park. It's simply stunning, and everyone who has seen my kitchen is impressed. While it was merely a galley kitchen in a Brookline condo, Anna envisioned a design that made it much more functional, timeless, and chic. Hilary Farr would be impressed. Ryaan and team are highly detail oriented. There was one incident where there was a problem with some of the lighting materials. While some contractors would have taken a shortcut and simply have installed the lighting as is, Ryaan and his electrician Chris, who was a perfectionist, made sure that the vendor was held accountable, and they refused to install the product until the issue was resolved with the manufacturer. It should also be noted that Ryaan and team are in constant communication from the project inception until the very end. Kristina, the project manager, is unbelievably responsive. You really can get in touch with her around the clock. The workmanship is impeccable, and it's the first project I've done with a nonexistent punch list. Ryaan took care of small details before I even mentioned them. Finally, I want to add that they are just nice people. I really do think animals are the best judges of character. My dog is a Lhasa Apso, and there are some people he just doesn't like. I was worried that there would be lots of barking and growling throughout the project. However, that was not the case. My dog took a liking to the project team from the beginning. There was no barking and growling. If he can trust them, so can I. It was a wonderful experience, and they really have earned five stars. Thank you!!

We hired Ryaan and his team to completely renovate our kitchen in Jamaica Plain, and we are…read moreextremely pleased with the results. This was our first experience working with a contractor, and we met with several before beginning the project. Ryaan was the only person who responded to emails promptly, showed up when he said he would, and gave a detailed quote that included everything we'd talked about. In addition, his price was much more reasonable than any others. Throughout the project, Ryaan was always available via phone or email. He got back to messages quickly and if there was a delay in beginning the next phase of the project, he let us know why. In reading about others' experiences with contractors, this seems like a rare find. We are hoping to use RJT for our bathroom remodel in the future, and would certainly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and skilled carpenter/contractor in the Boston area.
