"They were extremely talented, creative and he have a lot of good idea. His worked is phenomenal and he is a very nice man."

I have worked in the trades for almost 40 years and am currently renovating my 3rd 100 year old home in the greater Portland area.\nAfter that many homes and countless other projects over the years, i have become proficient and confident in almost every aspect of home building, renovating, and remodeling.\nBig or small, my attention to detail and ability to communicate clearly with my clients has allowed me to keep a steady workload based almost entirely on repeat calls.\nThat said, i am always excited to meet new challenges, learn new skills, and add more happy customers to my base.

"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."

"Greg promoted his service on Angie's list for $200 for 6 hours and I bought it.  He  showed up more or less on time (15 min late but no big deal), started assessing the work right away and pulling the wires.   One hour late another (very young) person showed up to join him, but it was clear he was very inexperienced and couldn't perform any work on his own.   By noon Greg said the "6 hour deal" is up because they have two peoples working, I absolutely refused to pay the apprentice the same rate because if anything he was slowing things down.  Greg grudgingly told me "don't worry about it".  
By 1pm two ceiling fan was up (only one worked) but Greg went to his other job (several towns away) for two hours which made me very anxious and to the point of upset because I was gravely concerned that he won't have time to finish all the projects I laid out for him.  I tried to call him several times but couldn't reach him.  While waiting for him, I chatted with the apprentice briefly and found out he just started from high school started apprenticeship several days ago.   
When Greg came back he finished wiring ceiling fan, the motion sensor lights and at my insistence, installed two lights in the attic, but it was too late to do anything else.   I paid him for additional time beyond the 6 hours but voiced my displeasure about his two-hour absence and the fact that I had to take a day off work for him.   He simply said "that's the way it is".  Greg left all the waste (cardboard boxes, Styrofoam, etc) in the house instead of hauling them away, or at least taking it to the trash dumpster.  
Overall I am satisfied with the quality of the work he did, but disappointed at his lack of professionalism.

"Gui was a delight to work with. He knows his business and provided me with an onsite quote to speed the start of work. I was really grateful to Gui and his team for double checking design elements with me, making corrections when needed, and for staying late to do thorough cleanup. Looking forward to having Gui and his team complete more work for us in the near future."

"Richard is now doing business as Northern Granit State Builders. Was very helpful in keeping the overall cost at an affordable price. Crew was very pleasant and informative. Left the job site clean and tidy. Would definitely contact Richard on future projects."

"Price was within my limit, time needed to complete was perfect; work done was superior. Deck is fine...Not tacky, sticky. No peeling, nothing....Just pretty! Of course, that's what I expected!!"
