"Did an excellent job. Was punctual and got the door done in a timely manor. Works hard and is focused on the overall goal. Highly recommend and very easy to work with. If we need any further work he’ll be at the top of our list!"

"Eugene communicated well and his team did an incredible job with our floors. I would definitely look to them again in the future if we need flooring done. Excellent work."

"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."

"Well, the place looks nice - bottom line. The problem is I had to watch them like a hawk. 1). They prepped the house without any mildew remover. They were all set to paint over serious mildew in several areas. When I called Tyler, he said the mildew preventative in the paint would kill the existing mildew on the house. Well, I've read that isn't true. It doesn't kill what's there, it prevents more. Anyway when I protested Tyler instantly sent someone around and sprayed with a mildew remover. 2). I was clear as crystal - do not paint over rotten wood. Tell us so we can have this corrected. They painted right over obvious rotten wood in several areas. I called Tyler and he immediately sent out a first-rate carpenter ( who I think is his partner) who fixed the places we pointed out. He said he's taken a walk around to check if there were any other rotten wood -- and said there was not. 3). We inspected -- which we should have done in the first place. We found multiple totally rotten shingles that had to be replaced. Again, we called and the first-rate carpenter came out and took care of it - fine job, too. 4). We noticed that the painters just ignored a front window and left a few areas of bare wood but the first-rate carpenter fixed that too when we called. So - we ended up, I hope with a nice paint job. However, the last time I had the house painted I didn't need to watch over the painters. They came to me whenever they saw rotten wood. They didn't dream of painting over mildew. They didn't just leave areas of bare wood. Innovative Painting Pro was several hundred dollars less expensive than our other bids and so I've learned a lesson. I'd again like to say that whenever I called Tyler and complained he instantly sent someone and they took care of everything. Every time."

"Easy to follow directions. They arrived sooner than I expected and they fit perfectly. My table has an intricate design at both ends and 2 leaves. Everything was perfect and the quality was great."

"The two carpenters were very professional and real craftsmen.  The job was done quickly and great.  We couldn't be happier.

"I have lived in this house for 25 years, and the only project I truly feared was siding.  I have made LOTS of changes to the property  over time, but always stopped short of siding.  This was a scary project, but I signed-up because of Fine Finish Remodeling's reputation on Angie's list, etc.   Also, the siding REALLY needed to be replaced -- in some areas, it was practically held together by paint.  Other exterior improvements (roof, front door and garage door) were being done by other contractors, during the same time period.

-- Mark Stevens is owner / contractor of Fine Finish Remodeling.  He did an excellent job of communicating and moving this project along, and referring out to others as needed.  The supervisor,  Kevin Dunsworth was great, and the house shows that. 

-- Delays happened, because they do.  The contractor had some issues. The weather was sometimes lousy.  PARR lumber delivered some of the materials to somewhere else, which stopped work for about a week.  Holidays happened. People had illnesses.   Siding work stopped while  the roof was repaired and replaced (2 days).  ETC.   In general, I was impressed to watch the changes take shape.  I believe it all moved along as quickly as it could.

--I was part of the problem too.  Two different garage door companies had volunteered their opinion that I could have one BIG garage door, rather than 2 smaller doors, if I wanted to do that.  It would be no problem, according to them.  I talked to Mark, about this, and he told me what could happen if the garage door men were wrong, and recommended I consult a  structural engineer first.  He gave me a name; I called; and the short version is a huge new beam was needed.  It took 6 men to lift that into place.  The final garage door outcome is perfect. Many thanks to Mark for coordinating the extra work my super-sized garage door required.

--Logistically, the siding was removed and replaced from sides and back of house first, leaving the street appearance somewhat intact until the end.  Hardie Plank siding comes with color, but the trim is just primed, so my family did a lot of painting in our garage, and other locations.  Kevin was kind enough to give warning when there was trim to paint for an inside angle, since that would have been nasty to do after it was installed.  I had one area outside the master bedroom that had always looked strange, for the way the old trim and siding met under the eaves.  I pointed that out, and Kevin fixed it with the new trim and siding. 

--When the house was finished, it was slightly wider than it used to be, sufficiently that the downspouts no longer fit. Mark gave me the names of area gutter companies, and the first one came right out and made new downspouts and cleaned the gutters too for a great price.

--The house exterior is done, and it looks great-- and the street noises are much quieter, and odd drafts are gone.  My scary project turned out to be a good experience with a happy outcome."

"John was very prompt. He took the time to explain the work he was doing and answered all my questions. In the past I've had people recommend replacing the torsion springs, bearings etc even when they were not worn out. John showed how to check them easily and was very practical in his recommendationsl. I would hire him again if a need arises"

"We have used Classic Pro Contractors in the past and will continue to have David and his crew be our number one company to call with a painting and/or repair need. He got the work done on time, did a great job, and stayed in communication with us the whole time. He is definitely a person we will continue to use.

"Thornton and Thornton provides extraordinarily good work. They served us well in evaluating replacement window options and installing them with meticulous care."
