Finest Craftsman Home Improvement

Hire Jonathan in 2017 to build a new outdoor, two-level deck for our new home. This project involved deconstruction, removal of the previous deck, a large amount of landscaping, wood working, excavating, and working with the town for permitting. Jonathan did a great job managing our expectations, walking us through the plan, as well as educating us about what would be required for such a project. Jonathan and his team were patient with us, walking us through materials, labor, licensing, and all of the other costs and timelines for the project. Jonathan also walked us through all of our options for materials, finishing, and even the details about how the deck would be attached to the bedrock, and the house. When work started, Jonathan's team was very professional. They kept the workspace, and the house tidy, and Jonathan was always very patient with all of our questions. During construction, like I'm sure many projects,Issues arose the required us to change our plans. There was a large tree that was too close to the deck, and we had to remove the tree, as well as alter some plants for the deck. The team was very helpful and very flexible during this whole process. The end result of the projects were better than I could have anticipated. We now have a beautiful outdoor deck, that we enjoy frequently. We would enthusiastically use finest craftsman again!

The Finest Craftman did an amazing job with our basement renovation. We had new windows installed, a fireplace retiled, new doors installed, painting done & electrical ventilation units installed. They assisted with permits and inspections. They were detail-oriented and always communicated with us regarding progress and the next steps in the project. They were always friendly, courteous and reliable. We will definitely use them for future projects.

Jonathan was the true professional would recommend him for any remodel he was punctual honest gave me a great quality Installation

It was a great experience working with finest Craftman hey were very professional on time and there work is top quality I would recommend 100%

The build went smoothly and the finished product was beautiful. Price was extremely competitive and the work was quality. His guys showed up on time each day and the whole job was done in just over a week.

Our newly renovated front porch adds to the value of our home, our street, and our community. Jonathan and Jerson, along wit their architect wrorked very hard to design, budget, and build the almost new addition to our home. And let me tell you it wasn’t easy to satisfy us as we turned out to be tough customers. But we were able to develop a trusting relationship which was a benefit to all. The work was expensive but well worth it (probably more of that goes on us because we wanted what we wanted). We were able to negotiate. Good thing because the job might not have gotten done without that. The quality was also exceptional. In fact it was beyond our expectations. Jerson is a master carpenter, highly skilled in framing and finish work. The masons on their crew were also masters of the stone. They built us a beautiful path leading to our new porch. I guess the best thing I can say about the Finest Craftman is that they are genuinely good people in addition to being highly professional and skilled. They are people you can trust. People you don’t mind having around your house every day.

It was a great experience working with finest Craftman home improvement jonathan and jerson were very patient and profesional at there job I would defiantly hire again

Jonathan and Jerson did a fantastic job on our porch. We didn't mean to spend as much as we did but we own an old house that needs a lot of work and the porch was no exception. They are extremely knowledgeable and the many suggestions and solutions they recommended were spot on. They ended up adding knew structure beams, new composite columns, new railings, painting the porch ceiling, replacing the soffits and refinishing the mahogany floors. We love our new porch and many neighbors walking by stop to complement the renovation. Highly recommend!

We had a really tough terrain to work with and Finest Craftsman spared no detail in making sure the deck was safe, secure and beautiful. We had unexpected additional costs pop up and Finest Craftsman did their best to keep us close to our budget. The deck is stunning and we would definitely hire them again.

The project went very well. Jonathan and his team were very professional and did really high quality work. Not the least expensive, but definitely worth it. Would definitely recommend.

The Finest Craftsman crew is fantastic. Their work on our home was exceptional. They made my wife and I feel continually cared-for while providing us with clear information and communication about the jobs they did for us. This experience was nothing less than A+++. Jonathan and Jerson are remarkable people to work with - trustworthy, responsive, thorough and fair. They and their crew, including Carlos and Manuel, inspire confidence and hold themselves to a standard that is continually professional. Their workmanship is superb and they didn't leave a trace when they finished the job. We originally hired Finest Craftsman to do a full exterior paint job which included a lot of trim and window sill replacement. As a kind of after-thought we asked them to price what we thought was a small job on our porch - rebuilding some crumbling concrete and replacing missing bluestone. I was impressed by Jonathan and Jerson from our first appointment for them to survey the house and make their estimate. They both came to the estimate with a third guy in tow. This in itself struck me as unique- other contractors sent one guy and the one guy was there for 15-20 minutes tops. Jonathan and Jerson and their partner spent over an hour combing thoroughly over my entire house. This was also unique. I felt like I was getting their full attention. They asked me about things I wasn't even aware of - small places where there was rot or weakness. They were exceptionally thorough and caring about my home- as if it were their own. Jonathan and Jerson are both very personable - funny, warm and easy to get along with. Jonathan makes it clear in both his words and actions that while he wants to do the job 'right'. He has very high expectations and standards for his crew and his product. This was always true in our experience. In fact, after the first phase of the paint job- where a worker had come to pressure wash the house - Jonathan was very upset about the mess that the worker had left. While it wasn't messy in a way that my wife and I really noticed- we certainly could see that a lot of chipped paint and dirt had been left around the back patio, driveway and surrounding yard. Jonathan and Jerson came THEMSELVES the following day and cleaned the entire area around the house with the pressure washer. Jonathan apologized for the mess the worker left behind. It would have been fine with me, honestly, but the high standards around even this kind of thing made me feel very taken care of. When it was over, the paint job they completed was exceptional and the woodwork on the trim and sills they've done is a huge improvement to the sharp, clean lines of the house. Jonathan was in near-constant contact with me throughout this painting process. We developed a very comfortable texting conversation as well as phone calls almost daily. Plus- Jonathan or Jason (or frequently both) were at our home on the job the entire time. They were personally overseeing every step. Further, whenever ANYTHING required my input or they thought I should be made of aware of a set of choices they had regarding how to move forward... they immediately included me in the conversation. With regard to our porch rebuild - what we thought was going to be a simple repair turned out to be a much more involved project. We have a very old home - built in 1919 - and when the Finest Craftsman crew began to excavate our porch they found deterioration from salt and moisture plus a gap between the concrete pad and the 'top layer' of the porch. Jonathan and Jerson laid out for my wife and I in an extremely clear way the different options we had in order to deal with this. At no point did we feel pressured- only very informed and securely guided by their expertise. Jonathan and Jerson always made it clear what they thought the right way to go about a plan was... but there was never pressure around going in a more expensive direction. This made the entire project feel very organic and it made my wife and I feel that we were really making informed decisions about the repair and rebuild. As the job went along I felt that I could really trust these gentlemen not only to do the job sufficiently but that they were also looking for possibilities to improve and capitalize on the opportunity of home improvement. An instance of this was when we were considering replacing all the columns on our porch. My wife and I had no intention of doing this initially but Jerson suggested that the columns were not only out-of-date in terms of architectural style but were also rotting in places. He suggested we consider composite columns in a more up-to-date style. His point was also that these new columns would never rot or deteriorate. Jerson was absolutely right about this. I am so glad he suggested it and was able to sketch for us in clear detail what they would look like and how they would improve the front of our house. Since completion of these jobs my wife and I feel that we have a solid home improvement partner in Finest Craftsmen. We have already booked them to add a storm door to our main entrance and are looking to book them in the spring for some a possible siding/insulation job. I cannot say enough positive stuff about these guys and how good it was to work with them.

Everything went great! We used them for multiple projects across different disciplines (structural, stonework, bathroom tiling, etc...). Jonathan and Jason are extremely professional and safety oriented. When they exposed elements of my porch roof to replace the columns holding it up, they discovered legitimate structural safety concerns which I had to agree with. We discussed various remediation options and selected the best one. Their final product is high quality, safe, and looks awesome! We look forward to using them again.

End product is good.

We satisfied with Finest Craftsman and their attention and cooperation from the very start. They were very good at following-up, identifying issues, communications and solving problems. They were always on time and got the job done. They were willing to work around my schedule, which included Saturdays. We received very professional service, and the contractor kept an open line of communication at all times. They did a great job. The carpentry and the painting were excellent. We were very happy with the quality of their work.

It was my first renovation... I have to say it was great! Jonathan and crew took time to ensure everything was done right. I was impatient at times because it was my only shower in the house but in the end I couldn't believe how amazing it came out!!!!

Very happy customers here. Would recommend.

The work was done in an extremely professional, efficient nearly artistic manner. I highly recommend Finest Craftsman Home Improvement.

Wonderful. Very happy and will use again and refer as well. My new go to company. they do everything.

They came to my house at 7pm to give me an estimate. Already a good start. Contractors don't usually work that late. Since this was a bathroom that was not used often, the intention was to just do a quick floor tile change, a bathtub reglaze and install a new vanity. It was an ugly bathroom from the 60s, that was also in very bad shape. As I watched their work evolve, their attention to detail, their punctuality, and the results, I kept adding to the job. So the four day job, to make a bathroom look a little better, became a three week job (by my choice) and I now have a basement bathroom that is better than my main bathroom. Jonathan does not do all the work himself. He is a mix of worker and contractor. He does get his hands dirty, but when it was time to install tiles, he brought in one of the best installers I ever seen. When it was time for plumbing, he brought in a plumber that was in my house until 8pm, twice, trying to figure out an issue with flooding that I was having for almost 15 years, and no one could ever fix. Now, it's fixed. New walls (one tiled) and a new ceiling were also installed. I also got the bathtub glazed. Perfect job as well. An ugly mustard color bathtub, now looks like a brand new white tub. Even the door got replaced. I have gone through many remodeling projects. This was far, the less stressful one. He also did some of the shopping. If you are looking for cheap work, go somewhere else. You will get cheap results. If you are looking for class A work, at a fair price, call these guys. They are honest, organized, very capable and competent. I will definetely recommend them.

Very well. Work was completed in timely fashion. True craftsmen who take pride in their work. Jonathan power washed the entire patio before repairing the masonry adjoining the house. In addition to painting the wood that was replaced, the front door was sanded and painted as well. At the end of the day, they cleaned and secured their work area. Will work with them again.

Jonathan was neat and did a detailed job, including installing needed risers to hold the new granite countertop. He was helpful and punctual and was careful not to damage the existing backsplash tiles, etc. Highly recommended.

Jonathan the owner was very responsive from the get go. He arrived at our appointment at the schedule time and was very polite and customer oriented. After going over the job details he came back to me and provided a very competitive rate and advise how we could cut cost to not go over our budget. This was very impresive as all other contractors in the past have never sat with me to accomodate my needs. <br /> <br />The end results on my kitchen was spotless, new granite top with indutrial sink, including garbage disposal and a new dishwasher turnedout to be perfect exactly how i visioned it.

It went very well. Jonathan and Jason were professional and involved in the entire process. They took an active role in designing and were very patient and detail oriented. We think the kitchen looks beautiful and functions much better than our previous kitchen. We highly recommend Finest Craftman!!!!

They worked on the floor and the roof of our front porch.  They did such a great job. Always on time and professional. We could not ask for better service. We will definitely use them again in the future. They answered all of our questions and we were very pleased,    <br>
