Get matched with top addition to existing structure builders in North Andover, MA

"For our home addition/renovation we are very grateful to have found Richard Connolly and his site iCornerstone. Our vision was a Two-story + basement + livable attic space home addition which would provide significant practical square footage to our existing house and integrate seamlessly with it. We interviewed a number of general contractors but we were overall a bit uncomfortable after the interviews due to gaps in transparency regarding how costs were calculated and how timelines were established, resulting in some lack of confidence. We happened upon Richard’s iCornerstone site via Angies. Richard provided an extremely transparent and detailed description of his unique and practical process, which delivered a set of superb designs along with a truly logical, transparent, and honest listing of costs, both materials and labor, at all stages, and how those costs were derived. Richard also delivered transparency on timelines, and he provided recommendations for all the needed tradespeople that he had historically a close working relationship with; alternatively we could have selected tradespeople of our own choosing. Richard and his process gave us the utmost confidence for proceeding. We proceeded with our renovation under Richard’s guidance and his own crew and the entire process went according to plan with excellent communication, rapport, and confidence at all stages from excavation to final finish work. Transparency, confidence-building, dependability, highly knowledgeable, customer-friendly, and results-oriented are all terms we would use to describe Richard and the iCornerstone process. We strongly recommend Richard for anyone contemplating any home renovation or home addition, large or small."

"Everything went very well. Had to push the start date past winter. Matt is very responsive on the phone and the guys were on time and finished the job in 2 days. Nice group of guys would definitely use for more extensive work."

"I had an excellent experience with The Curtice Group. I would highly recommend them and I'd use them again for a future project. We utilized the full design to build service to add a master bedroom/bath/closet, a 2nd floor 3x10 balcony, and renovate a number of items associated with the build including a re-build of an existing bathroom.  We live in an old house and Scott did a fantastic job making use of space and working with the house limitations, and overall, giving us lots of details and options as we had back/forth meetings on the concept.  The design process was great. We had a number of meetings starting from a wish list that expanded to initial design concepts and then to more final concepts. Scott made excellent use of space and gave us a lot of options which for budget reasons, we had to slowly narrow things down to a final concept. The build was equally fantastic. Not only was the quality extremely high but they stayed on schedule and never skipped days; there was always a team working every day. The workers and subs were reliable and on schedule, which you dont see too much of. Not only that but juggling/managing the schedule when the different subs had to show up was very impressive as the goals for each week were always met. Scott and his team really care to make a top-quality build. A few family members in construction walked through a few times and commented on the high quality of everything.  The house had two surprises as we things opened up.  Somewhat expected as unwelcome as it was: a bad foundation and a roof with upgrades needed. Both these items were attended to very quickly and surprisingly got back on track sooner than I thought it would.  Budget: Scott's budget was extremely accurate. Aside from the 2 house surprises (above) and the additional rise in lumber cost during COVID, all numbers and quotes lined up extremely well. Yes the cost went over the estimate but I hold no concern over this, since it was due to two extra side projects (that were impressive accomplishments). When the project was done Scott made sure we were happy with everything. A few items to touch up were quickly dealt with and Scott really went above and beyond making sure things were 100%. No negative comments from me. Any items to nit-pick are not worth putting in a review: this was an extremely positive experience and I would recommend the Curtice Group and would/will certainly utilize them again in the future."

I have had the distinct honor of working with Antonio on this complete reconstruction project over the last ten-months.  At every phase, Antonio was upfront, honest, knowledgeable, caring and attentive. His entire crew was, at all times, professional, courteous and very proud of their workmanship, with good reason. 

The project was difficult to say the least.  The structure, built in 1840, had suffered extreme damage by fire and water and was sagging from years of hard use.  With all the difficulties and challenges, Antonio provided solutions that far exceeded my expectations. His pleasant demeanor and years of experience allowed him to work through the issues, the inspectors and the adjusters with confidence.

The results were stunning. He gave honor to the age of the building by restoring some of the original post and pegged beams.  Beautiful with a touch of class.  Even his crew took pictures of what they had accomplished.

I look forward to working with Antonio again!

"Finding a builder who can take your idea (aka Dream) and make it a reality is not easy. Norman Builders created a house for me that exceeded my expectations. Ryan Norman provided me direction before the existing house demolition started. He connected me with others needed for pre-build items. Norman Builders then built exactly what was designed on paper. What sets Norman Builders apart from others is their communication and commitment to understanding what the customer wants. Ryan and his assistant Collin were always available and communicated at every milestone along the way. There was never a time I did not know what was going on or what I needed to decide. The contractors they use are highly professional and care about their part of the build. I love my new house! I highly recommend them and appreciate all Ryan and his team did for me."

"Full gut reno of basement into 2 new bedrooms and bathroom. This was a complete demo job and new build out of basement. Bob and his team did an amazing job with great vision, expertise and quality. 100% recommend."

"This is the second time we have had Perry Brothers Construction do work for us--and we will definitely use them again for upcoming projects. We are consistently impressed by Bill Perry's responsiveness. He is available during the planning stages, throughout the construction phase, and in the months following the work. I can't emphasize enough how much we value that level of communication when we are saving up money and investing in projects for our house and family. Bill helped us to bring our ideas to fruition, giving advice along the way about the best layout for the master bathroom. In addition, we were very pleased with the workers (Bralio, Tony, Scott, the two Mikes, and Kenny), who were always polite, courteous, and helpful. They took pride in their work and took the time to answer any questions we had. Whenever I follow up with Bill with a question, he is quick to respond even though the project has been complete for several months. This is why we will continue to reach out to Perry Brothers Construction for future projects."

"Liam and Kevin were incredible professional and finished the job in record time! We were on a very tight timeline and they made themselves available to start and finish the project before our store opened. They had great suggestions and knowledge on what we could and could not do with the space structurally, and we could not be happier with the end results from Neary Construction! I'd recommend Liam and his team for any size project, and will be using them for any other construction needs - they did an incredible job!"

"We could not be happier with the work Gil and his team performed. The porches look amazing. We originally were just going to have the porch repairs done but were so happy with the work done we added on the lattice They were prompt and professional. The price was exactly what was agreed upon and the work was completed on schedule. We will have Gil back in the spring for some additional work. Highly recommend New England Carpentry LLC. These guys are great!"

"Cannot say enough good things about Mavridis Contracting and its sub-contractors. This was a challenging project in part because the prior remodeling contractor (from forty years ago) cut many corners that needed to be remedied. Mr. Mavridis, his employees, and sub-contractors identified and explained every issue so that we could make informed decisions. The team was courteous, professional, skilled, and very tidy (cleaning up after each day). The finish work (tiling, carpentry, etc.) is excellent. Even the city inspectors provided unprompted compliments on the final product."
