"Peter Mountzoures of all trades I really like utilizing the service of Peter because he is one of the few contractors that I felt confident in performing the work on my late parents’ home without me following up right away. In addition, Peter replaced two windows that were on the second floor with ease, razed an old building, replaced the roof on the main dwelling, and plowed my late parent’s driveway when I requested. Peter is trustworthy and very professional. I highly recommend employing Peter’s services."

"Entire process exceeded my expectations from the initial contact I had with Alliance to the completion of the project. The proposal I received from Keith provided the level of detail I was looking for and he did a great job in going over the siding products Alliance offered to detailing all the necessary steps in the process. The installation process went very smoothly and was completed in a timely manner. The crew led by Serg were extremely professional, knowledgeable and focused. I could not be happier with the work they did and Serg kept me updated on how the project was progressing and was quick to reach out to me with any questions he had on the proposed installation approach. Therefore, I would recommend Alliance for any home improvement needs that you may need addressed. Lastly, I was so satisfied with the siding installation Alliance did I am now having them replace the two entry doors to my garage. Thank you again Sergiy, Keith, Serg and the rest of the installation crew. CFP Sr."

"It went very well. Wes is a great person to deal with. He listens to all your details and is always taking notes as you talk. Loved that. (So many contractors act as though they are listening and never write anything down and you do not get want you ask for.) His assistants were polite, friendly and hard working. After the job, they cleaned everything. The porch is beautiful. They paid attention to every detail. I am definitely using them again soon."

"I cannot speak highly enough of Tom and Brad Green of Colonial Restorations. We have lived in our antique house for 16 years now, and like most old homes, some of its previous repairs were good, some not so good. Tom Green worked on this house for its previous owners, and his work was, by far, the best in the house. So, we continued to use Colonial - Tom, then Tom and Brad - as we learned the ropes about caring for an old house - our first house, old or new. Over the years, they have replaced sills and posts and beams, and rebuilt parts of our loose stone foundation. Most recently, they replaced the last original posts in our basement, (one of which was a tree trunk still with bark on it), including pouring new custom footings, in advance of our finally cementing the dirt floor. The work here is never easy - nothing is level, nothing is square - but the Greens' end result has always been beautiful - strong and made to last. Their prices are fair and without hidden costs....maybe not the lowest bid you might get, but you know it's a real bid that they will stand behind. They triage projects for us, giving us an idea of what other items will likely need attention in the next few years. We're not done with this house yet....we've never won the lottery, and there's always another repair..... and plan to use them again soon. I feel confident knowing that the next owners of this house, whoever they might be, will see the quality of the work and know that we cared enough to have the right people help us with the ongoing repair and maintenance of a 275+ year old house. I am a real person, a real customer, with no ties to the company, and was more than happy to write this review."

"Received a packet in the mail with the instructions and material to make a template. Follow the instructions, answered all of their questions and returned it to them. In a few weeks we received the pads. Fit perfectly and are a nice quality product."

"Christian was very professional. He was on time and ready to go. The job entailed cutting Sheetrock and repair/ replace framing around the garage door opening to accept a new garage door. The work was top quality work and neat looking when completed. The job was completed and everything was picked up and cleaned in the estimated frame."

"At the beginning of the project, Brian replaced and reinforced the support beams for the roof and the upper porch.  The new framing of the lower porch enclosure provided excellent support accommodating the installation of 8 vinyl windows with custom Azek trim. Brian?s attention to detail was impressive and everything matched perfectly.  During the first rainstorm
after the enclosure of the porch, we realized the porch roof leaked because earlier repairs done by another contractor five years prior.  Brian removed the related siding, along with two layers of shingles on the entire first floor roof, then reinstalled ice and
water protection, new shingles and step flashing to fix the leak quickly so as not to cause further damage by installing missing flashing and redirected the drainage system to clear rain water more efficiently. The front concrete steps were torn out and a new form was built and new concrete was poured to create the new stairs to match the stone wall. We elected not to have gray steps, so B&M Builders mixed a colored stucco to color the steps. The old stone wall was removed and a new one was built to match the original design of the house. The work on the stone wall was beyond our expectations.  The stone wall was so impressive that we still receive comments from our neighbors on the quality of the work done.  Since we loved the work so much, we had Brian and his crew perform the landscaping so as to accentuate the stone work that was done.  Brian was professional and extremely helpful in accepting the extra work. Brian also replaced a section of our back entrance sidewalk to stop water from entering our basement during rainstorms.  We are very satisfied with the work done by B&M Builders.  When problems were discovered that would impact the enclosed porch or stone wall, Brian addressed these issues and kept us under our stated budget.  After the porch enclosure was finished, including recessed ceiling lights and all trim, Brian installed an Italian ceramic tile floor that looks amazing.  I would strongly recommend B&M Builders and Brian Holder as home improvement contractors.
