Get matched with top major renovation multiple room pros in Newton Upper Falls, MA

"We acquired a condominium on the 2nd floor of a 2 family house in Arlington. MA. The existing hardwood floors were beyond repair and we wanted to add a 2nd bathroom. In addition we wanted to integrate the existing sun porch into the living room to more than recover the area lost to the new bathroom, and install central A/C. We had estimates from three other contractors before we met with Pedro from Crystal Renovations. His pricing was very competitive relative to the other contractors, but that was mostly due to the others trying to add work that we didn't want or need. Pedro listened to what we wanted and worked with us to accomplish it. From the very beginning of the project until the end Pedro was always responsive and answered, emails, texts, and phone messages in a very timely fashion. He and his crew and subs were a pleasure to work with and any issues that arose were dealt with in a calm and professional manner. Before and during the project Pedro made several design suggestions such as recessed lighting on the sun porch, shower stall light, and new bath layout that definitely improved on our original thoughts. In the end the project came in on time and with a very small increase to the original estimate despite some challenges he and his crew had to work through. The best part, though, is the absolute impeccable quality of the finished product. We highly recommend Pedro and Crystal Renovations and plan to use them again in the near future."

"This is the 4th time I have hired SILMAC for a project, and this was the largest job by far - a full gut renovation of my kitchen, adding a powder room, and putting on an addition with a laundry/mudroom. I’m so pleased with how everything turned out - it is truly the space I had dreamed about when I bought the house! Joe and his crew are extremely reliable and responsive. It’s inevitable that bumps in the road will arise during a large renovation like this, especially in an old house, but Joe was proactive in addressing them and always kept me informed. His level of service truly stands out! It doesn’t surprise me that he has over 200 reviews and nearly a 5 star rating - he is that good! You will not be disappointed hiring SILMAC for your next project."

"Wallpaper removal = A; plastering = A-; painting: C+. We were disappointed in the overall experience. They were kind enough and their wallpaper removal and plastering was great, really solid—but on the final day, they rushed with the painting to get it done on the original time frame, and while one room was top notch, another was above average, and the bathroom was very sloppy. There was wall paint on our bathroom tiles, vanity, and shower; unsanded/unsmoothed plaster chunks that were just painted right over and were unsightly and lumpy; peeling caulking; parts where the paint was crooked or misaligned with baseboards; paint dribbles on floor and utensils on counter; and they did a poor job cleaning up, with plaster dust everywhere, paint to be cleaned up in the bathroom, and paint and plaster dust in, on, and around our cabinets. One of the crew members’ painting skills was just rushed and poor and it detracted from the others’ skills. By the time the job was over they rushed to get out of the house and did not carefully complete a walkthrough."

"I first heard about Kinsella Built via a recommendation from one of my co-workers who had used them for a kitchen renovation and raved about how it came out. Prior to reaching out to Kinsella via their web form, I had tried to contact multiple contractors to discuss my project and received no response. As a result, I had low expectations for receiving a timely response (or response at all) so you can imagine my surprise and delight when I got a response within 10 minutes of submitting my form. This proved to be a good omen for the rest of the project. The scope of my project was to do a full remodel of my kitchen and half bath in my condo (e.g. demo to the studs & install all new walls, cabinets, fixtures & appliances). The kitchen and bathroom share a wall and occupy a space of about 95sq ft, with the kitchen taking up about 60% of that space. It's a small space and going into the project, I anticipated that there wouldn't be much that could be changed in the way of the configuration or layout. During my first consultation with the project manager (John), he highlighted a number of options I hadn't considered which could both add storage space and also create the appearance of more space in my kitchen. Throughout the design phase, John was remarkably responsive and insightful which was a welcome change from prior experiences with contractors I've used in the past. John was very hands on throughout the project and accompanied my wife and I to look at countertops where he offered guidance based on recent trends and how they could be accommodated within the constraints of our kitchen space. He also made himself available to respond to random questions that came up during the lead up to the project work on everything from door knob finishes to appliance sizes to cabinet measurements and everything in between. Over a number of weeks, I developed a level of trust and rapport with John that helped put my mind at ease to the point where I ultimately deferred to his judgement on most project decisions. The project took about a month to complete and I was traveling out of town on a different time zone for the vast majority. John kept me up to date on the status of the project throughout and despite a few delays due to resource conflicts and timing of inspections, the remodel was completely finished by the time we returned from our trip. While we had an idea of what the kitchen would look like in our heads, the end result really exceeded our expectations. I'm a stickler for precision and the cabinets and appliances were all completely flush, no major gaps anywhere. Our kitchen looked noticeably bigger due to some of the design tweaks that John suggested. All in all, we were very happy with the end product. I can't recommend Kinsella Built enough - it was a pleasure doing business with them. Looking forward to collaborating with them in the future."

"We needed to renovate the third floor of our house, which was originally one open high-ceiling space used as a den, family room, and home office. Our goal was to maintain the open space concept while creating two separate offices, a small library room, a family room, and a bedroom. While it might sound challenging, thanks to D&S Partners Construction Inc., it turned out even better than expected. The tasks involved installing a hardwood floor, adding a wall with a door and closet for the bedroom with high-raised bookshelves facing the family room, creating two office spaces in two of the three dormers, and converting the third dormer into a library with a French door. To maintain an open feeling, we used glass (from Boston Glass) to separate the offices from the main room, providing excellent sound isolation. Between the family room and the bedroom, we had a retractable wall installed, which was manufactured and delivered by Tudelu, allowing the two rooms to function as one open space or be separated and sound-isolated when the bedroom is in use. The retractable wall was running between the newly installed wall with closets and bookshelves and a big arch window we wanted to preserve. Only two windows had to be replaced with slightly narrower ones to accommodate the flame for the Tudelu wall. My wife and I came up with the whole concept, but DS provided excellent advice at every step of the project, and several adjustments were made. Additionally, there was significant electrical work, AC tube replacement, and painting throughout the entire floor. We had an amazing experience with Sanfer, his son Matt, and the entire crew, that yielded fabulous results. They were incredibly professional throughout the project. Sanfer responded right away after listing our needs, explaining all the steps and costs upfront, with no hidden surprises. The work began promptly, within a week of signing the contract, and was completed exactly as expected. The main work took two months with no delays. As anticipated, the glass walls and doors were installed a month later, followed by the retractable wall from Tudelu two months after that. We couldn't use the floor only for two months. The glass and the retractable wall installations which were completed later on upon their delivery didn’t disrupt our work at all. This was perfectly well organized and managed by D&S. We were impressed by the friendly, understanding, and highly professional nature of the team. Their work ethic was exceptional, and their quality was outstanding, demonstrating a commitment to perfectionism. Sanfer ensured that every detail was perfect, no matter how small. They are unbelievably clean and organized. We selected him from several contractors we met with, and he stood out for his deep understanding of our needs and immediate professional advice. We expected a great job, but his work exceeded our wildest expectations. I don’t look for any other contractor anymore when it comes to home renovation. We have something in mind for the first floor/basement, so if we decide to do it, it will be his project for sure. I cannot imagine anything better than D&S."

"I highly recommend using Scott Curtice for any renovation project no matter how complex it is. We bought a house that was over a hundred years old that had not been renovated for decades. Starting from the planning stage, Scott was wonderful about redesigning the house in order to open up the space and bring it into a more modern look. He spent several sessions reworking his plan always taking into account our needs and desires. Once the actual renovation began, we ran into a number of complex structural issues with the house itself. No matter what obstacle came up, Scott and his team were able to find solutions. His team was efficient in their work and they were all always reliable. In fact, many of our neighbors were astounded that all subcontractors worked on the home daily and that they actually were busy the entire time they were at our house. In addition, the lines of communication between ourselves and Scott, as well as his subcontractors, were always open. They kept us abreast of the project's updates and always made suggestions for ways to improve the work for aesthetics and/or cost savings ideas. Scott’s work was beautiful and he and his crew paid attention to every detail. The majority of the house required a gut renovation and it came out exquisite. Even after the job was complete, he was always available for questions. I would highly recommend using them for any job you have."

"I hired them to renovate my home. They did a great job"

"! EXCEPTIONAL ! Starting with great listening to the attention to details that I was most excited about, to Edian’s / Alexis superior preparation & commitment to on time start & completion, Edian’s professionalism yielded 2 huge projects that are an absolute joy to behold. Edian’s extraordinary attention to details is so far beyond my expectations, that he actually improved upon my architect / engineer’s structural design. I will admit that I expect much much more than most & Edian truly exceeded my standard of ‘triple redundancy’ when it comes to structural strength, safety & my ‘100 year goal’ for major ‘capital’ level projects. His work is so above and beyond, that several tradespeople have commented on the extraordinary level of workmanship! I have had the pleasure of working with Edian on 2 huge reconstructions of porches. For both, he scheduled well in advance and then he & crew showed up a few days early, completing these massive projects on time. Yes, you read that correctly, ON TIME. He & his crew have an exceptional ‘culture!’ They were here everyday, without exception, always cheerful & laser focused on their dedication to getting the job done according to Edian’s strict codes of on time progress. I wish I had space to say more! In short, I cannot wait until I have more work for Edian / Alexis!"

"Replaced stairs to second story. Big project! Punctual, skilled and professional."
