"Helene is fantastic. She was very organized and had a game plan to get started. She was thoughtful and really listened to my needs and concerns. She not only was able to lead me through a very difficult task, she was a great problem solver coming up with unique solutions for difficult problems. She definitely knows what she is doing and clearly has a lot of experience i this line of work. I was especially pleased that she was able to transport many items to different donation centers/charitable institutions. I've already recommended her to several people."

"We met Marilyn at an open house, and I think that was a lucky day since we had a great experience with Marilyn as our buying agent. She is very professional and helpful. She always gave us time to explain the process and the next steps. She was especially helpful in navigating the issues around buying the house. We feel the only reason we could buy the house was because of her perseverance and experience. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking to buy or sell a house."

"All work and costs were explained in detail. Excellent design and meticulous work. These guys don’t cut corners and it shows in the results."

"Our house was a 1955 ranch-style house with 3 bedrooms, one bath, kitchen, and living/dining room that we moved into in 1995. We had been looking to add a second bathroom and had originally worked with an architect from NH to do a modest front and rear bump out to give us more room to fit in a second bathroom. This architect had to withdraw from the job and recommended David Kinsella of TBC. David initially made some modest changes to the plan that made sense. After somefurther discussion, in which my wife and I raised the possibility of a larger scale project to modernize the style of the house, David developed a plan that essentially rebuilt the house except for our previously remodeled kitchen and original foundation. This new plan converted our house into modern design with a more open floor plan, completely new roof line, loft space, re-finished basement (and the second bathroom). David was able to fit this into an only slightly expanded footprint in order to comply with town regulations. Throughout the process, David kept our budget in mind and would typically present different price options for us to choose from to allow us to come up with a reasonable comprise between price with style. In addition TBC worked with the town to make sure our design stayed within our zoning and conservation restrictions.
After deciding to go ahead with the project, we interviewed several contractors and decided that TBC brought us the best value for our money and would also allow David to oversee the project as needed. We started the project in June 2011 and completed the project in May 2012. The project did take several months longer than expected, but did stay on budget. The major problem that occurred that delayed the project was that in the summer of 2011, the original subcontracted framers were being sent to other jobs by their boss even though TBC was told they would be coming to our job. Hence, instead of working full time on our job, they were working less than half time. Eventually TBC had to fire them and find a new contractor to step in. At the time we felt that TBC should have replaced them sooner, but perhaps this was difficult due to contractual obligations. (We also found this first group of framers were slobs who did not have much regard for the fact that we were still living in the house.) By the end of summer 2011, the house was not completely framed and roofed and number of rain storms (including hurricane Irene) slowed down progress further. In mid-October we were still living in the part of the house and we agreed at this point that we would move out to allow for a more efficient work flow. From this point construction generally proceeded ahead, except for a few delays do to weather and scheduling conflicts that arose for other subcontractors, no doubt due to the significant delay caused by the no-show framers.
In the end the house is beautiful and works for us better than we could have imagined. While the house has not expanded much in
terms of square feet, the open floor plan and high ceiling/roof line combined with increased natural lighting gives a much more expansive feeling inside. From the curb, the house has modern angular green metal roof with cedar siding and one has to look hard to find any resemblance to the original house.
At the completion of of the project, TBC was very responsive to completing punch-list items and other minor issues that have arisen over the past year. While my wife and I certainly had stressful times during the renovation (and certainly did a lot of second guessing our decision to renovate rather than move), we always felt that David had a personal interest in getting the job done correctly and making sure that we were happy in the end. In that regard, David was very accessible by email or phone before, during, and after the work. In summary, David Kinsella provided the creativity to design a renovation plan that was truly transforming for our house and TBC was then able to see the plan through to successful completion."

"Paul and Jay were a pleasure to work with. We added on a 10x14 addition (dining room) to the house. They were extremely flexible as the design location and final specifications changed several times. The price was very fair and allowed for 2-3 progress payments along the way. Jay's attention to detail in putting the hard wood floor down was amazing as he matched panel to panel from the connecting room. They brought in their contractors for HVAC and electrical ( pricey there ) but that helped us a lot! Highly recommended.. Thanks again Paul"

"Very well; Frank helped with a few very nice layouts that we chose from & we are very happy."

"We are so excited to have found Crafted Spaces Design Build! It was a pleasure working with George who was extremely knowledgeable and professional. We needed help creating a full vision including all the subtle details. They were able to make it happen within our budget and timeline! They were able to listen carefully and give us a 3D plan including even the smallest details to help remove any misunderstandings and to see it all come together ahead of time! We were very pleased with the outcome and look forward to working with them again in the future! I would also highly recommend them to anyone looking to sell and make improvements, people who recently bought a home looking to make it their own or someone just looking to transform and recreate their home!"
