"Platinum Carpentry was great to work with. The owner Dean is a very nice guy and easy to work with. The quality of his work is outstanding. We were out of town when the project was scheduled to start and Dean kept us updated on the progress and a few delays that were encountered due to weather, etc. We are very pleased with how the deck turned out and we would not hesitate to hire Dean and his crew again for future projects."

"Beto (Humberto Morais) Beto built a staircase and replaced and my home soffits. He explained the work he was doing and completed the work on the exact days he told me. He built the stairs very strong with excellent heavy duty wood. He also replaced all the roof soffits and made repairs as needed. I have already received complements on the work he has done and the looks of it. The price was very reasonable also. Beto was extremely polite, professional and pleasant working in his job. I will definitely hire him again. Marty Dunlavey"

"Colonial Restorations was superb.   Our family very much enjoyed working with Brad Green and Tom Green.  

At the outset, they made thorough assessments of our family's barn, identifying several problem areas and offering multiple proposals for how best to address each (including strategies and estimates).  They walked through the different proposals with us, addressing all questions and discussing different options.  This was extremely constructive and important to the process. 

They demonstrated very clear understanding of post-and-beam wood construction.  They displayed great expertise in working with wood (white oak, red oak, hemlock) and with the tools, jacks and cribbing needed for this work.  They worked carefully, always putting in place the necessary jacks and cribbing in advance of each phase of this project.

They were clear about their schedule and were very responsible about communicating with us.  If there were a day that they would not be on site, they let us know ahead of time.  With the exception of a snow storm and an illness, they were on site five days a week from the first week in January till the second week in February, 2016.  

By the completion of this project, Colonial Restorations had made significant and important structural repairs to our barn.  This work was done with care, craft, accuracy, and to code.  (All elements of this project were examined and passed by the building inspector.)  Most important, these repairs respected and worked with the existing structure and materials of the barn.

We could not be happier with these repairs or with the work done by Colonial Restorations.  It was a pleasure working with Brad and Tom."

"The final product has met our wishes We are considering using them again."

"These guys are the greatest! They saved us a lot of money! We had a dumpster before the bullbag and for 3 tons of material and a week rental of the dumpster it cost us $486! We own the bullbag now, had a full bag - 3.5 tons - picked up and it was only $229! We didn't have any rental charges, excess weight fees, or anything! These guys did everything they said they would! OMG! Everyone should use these guys!!!!! Also, I got the bullbag back! I never have to buy another one and its ready to use whenever I feel like doing a clean out or renovation."

"I had 2 major jobs done by Vista with mixed results:
1) In early 2015, we sat down with Brian (the owner) and he gave us an estimate on replacing the roof and repairing portions of the cedar shakes on our house that had rotted.  The estimate included removing our gutters and then putting the same gutters back up.  It also included repairing the frame of an attic window that had started to rot and adding baffles to the attic for venting.  The roofing was done in March 2015 and went relatively well other than the fact that the crew chief had forgotten his cell phone and didn't have the contract on him.  He pulled down the front gutters and, rather than saving them to put them back up, he trashed them in the dumpster.  A different crew came several days later to do the window, shakes, and baffles.  Dave, the chief of this second crew, was short baffles and had to go out and find some more even though photos were taken of the attic prior to the job for just this reason.  The shakes were done, but one section near the gutters looked awful.  I had to call and complain, and the shakes were fixed during the second major job below.  Finally, Dave came a different day to replace the gutters that had been thrown out.  It quickly became very clear that the crew does not communicate well with whoever it is that draws up the contract/estimate and whatever was discussed during the estimate process is not well communicated to the crew.  Lots of back and  forth phone calls to get things right.  In the end, though, Vista replaced the old gutters with new gutters for free since trashing them was their fault.  They also found a replacement attic window for me for free.  The roof / gutter / window job ended up lasting for close to a month, and the dumpster was in our driveway for this entire time. Dave was a very friendly crew chief and kept us informed as best he could, but he would have left the cedar shake repair in a condition that was not acceptable.  Once we complained and sent pictures, a plan was put in place to fix this.  So, the communication was pretty bad, and there were some decent-sized hiccups, but Vista worked hard to make things right in the long-run, and I feel like I got a good deal for (ultimately) pretty good quality.  Tough to say whether I would hire them again -- they need to fix this communication issue so jobs go more smoothly.  This work cost about $11,000.
2) The second major job was in June 2015, where Vista replaced an entire wall of cedar shakes.  This time, Gladimir was the chief and he seemed to be the shake expert.  He did a great job and repaired the spots near the gutter where the previous work had been sub-par.  We supplied the shakes and painted them before Gladimir and his helper installed them.  We were very happy with this job.  This work cost about $1300.
