"The crew from Viola Roofing were excellent, doing work aloft to replace old wooden gutters and a downspout on a house with a four story back facing the water. When I had a problem with a vibrating downspout due to the Northeast winds that strike the house across the water, Viola Roofing came back and put additional clips on the downspout for free."

"Had a great experience with Downeast Chimney Sweep! The rep was very knowledge and professional. Our home inspector had recommended cleaning and examination of chimney flues. We don’t have a fireplace but were told that it’s important to clean the exhaust flue since we have gas heat. Downeast chimney explained that we have a direct vent gas furnace and since it doesn’t use the chimney, we don’t need to do anything. Did not try to sell us things we don’t need. Highly recommend them!"

"Very well, excellent attention to detail."

"Excellent service. They honored the Harvey Windows warranty even though they were not the original installers. Windows were repaired quickly. Great to work with, excellent service."

"run for your life. This guy is completely unprofessional. He pitched it towards my house and now I have major water problems. He forgot to put stairs in. He refuses to fix anything and told me he is done doing business with me. He left the job completely unfinished. do not hire this company, I don’t know how this guy is still in business"

"Initial meeting was fine. His first idea was less expensive but I didn't want it. The more expensive idea, my choice, was the addition of the dry-well. I am glad that he was flexible and did not present the most expensive plan initially. Then getting on his schedule was more involved and required that the homeowner be pretty flexible because they like to start the interior work when it is going to be rainy for a day. He's pretty popular in my town but I was able to get it started in June. The process itself was an ordeal. Jackhammers, dust everywhere, even with a plastic sheet up between the basement and the living area. The whole thing took 4 1/2 days. No blame here, just warning others about what they are in for. The results will be worth it I hope. I'm actually looking forward to the first multi-day rain event. Did not rate quality since I haven't had to test it yet They were good about cleaning up the basement and yard when they were done. Also very courteous."

"Jason Kirby and crew did an excellent job, with fine craftsmanship and attention to detail. This job was to replace a stucco and half timber exterior wall on a historic 1920's English Tudor, so that it matched the detailing and craftsmanship to the rest of the house. Jason assembled a highly skilled team. They competed the job on schedule, Jason communicated regularly about status and next steps, and I couldn't be happier with the result (looks original to the house). Jason's fees are very reasonable, and I would recommend him for any job involving masonry, having worked with him in the past on brickwork as well."

"The team was knowledgeable, friendly, and responsive. They came quickly for the quote, then walked me through all the options. I felt confident and supported through the installation and they followed up to make sure everything was great both right after and months later. Everyone on the team was courteous and helpful. Would definitely recommend!"

"Overall project went very well - the bathrooms are beautiful and functional. We did not have an architect, just worked with Mike and our own design preferences. Mike was great at working through design issues that came up, and also at guiding selections. Very personable and fun guy to work with. Somethings outstanding, some very very good, and just a few areas could be better The outstanding - initial pricing of the job - very clear, and he held price except for major changes; his direct crew (did demo, protection, carpentry) also excellent; electrical & tile awesome. Mike was also great at working through issues around our historic district and building inspection (and Brookline can be a pain). Very impressive. The very very good - Mike worked us into his schedule very quickly - these days that’s pretty great. He communicated very well on start up and schedule of early work. He was also great at helping us address a major issue that came up - replacing knob and tube wiring throughout house. Mike also has a good strategy for managing the selection of tile and plumbing fixtures, b/c pricing is so variable for these - you go direct to supplier and get contractor prices. The one issue with this is that the sub isn’t fully coordinated with the selections - wasn’t an issue for tile, but for plumbing the fittings & connections weren’t fully coordinated - but that was addressed by the plumber and Mike. The areas that weren’t perfect - guys did not provide ventilation during demo, as a result we had concrete and plaster dust everywhere from the old thick set bathroom. As job progressed, and we had added complexity of the knob & tube, we had some communication drops. Finally, biggest area: the plumber was the weakest link in his subs (but there may have been extenuating circumstances.) We had some issues there - Mike addressed, but that was one area where we had less than smooth sailing. We would use Mike again without hesitation."

"The team at ICS was great to work with. They were responsive, set clear expectations, and completed the work efficiently and to perfection."
