"Worst experience working with a contractor we have ever had. Lack of communication was astounding. Reached out to start the project on our tiny front lawn in June/July. Didn't start planting until mid October. Was told there were 5 jobs in front of ours. Ignored photos of exactly what we wanted. Finish product is passable at best. Would not recommend."

Here at Twins Landscape and Snow we are a full service landscape contractor based out of Sterling, Ma. We specialize in all areas of outdoor living services, from landscape construction and hardscape design/ build, to weekly lawn maintenance and everything in-between. We also have a full landscape yard offering mulch, loam and stone products to contractors and homeowners. Visit us at www.twinslawnservice.com; a photo gallery of projects is available at https://twinslawnservice.com/photo-gallery/
"For the first 2 years, their M.O. is to communicate mostly through their online portal and email. Face-to-face communication is not something that they regularly schedule and asking them to do this has been met with no communication. In the first 2 jobs, their work was 'fine' for what they did with the exception that they didn't do what I asked and had to come back again to fix things (though they made some cuts on bushes that they were asked NOT to cut). This year, I tried again to communicate with them, but they were open to the job only through email and their portal. My attempts to speak with them were met with, literally, 'You should find someone else to do the work'. This year's job included 2 houses - one for my brother-in-law who is very ill and can't do the work he typically does himself. I thought that Twins Lawn Service would be more willing to at least do that job (a very small one), but again - they wouldn't even schedule it since I asked that they speak with me directly to understand the job. Buyer beware; call them at your own risk; I won't do that again!"

Headquartered in North Billerica MA, we have been setting the standard for gunite construction and quality swimming pools since 1975. We are shockingly unique in the way that we build, eliminating the uncertainty of relying upon subcontractors and operating with fully in-house employees. This strategy allows us to take full responsibility for our client's projects.
"Hired this company for summer 2019 to open/close and clean weekly. In the month we used SSG, the pool was not cleaned properly once. 25 tiles were damaged mysteriously upon open, there were leaves and dirt left in the pool the entire time and we have not been able to use the pool yet. We expressed our disappointment and gave them more than enough chances to rectify things. They didn't. Pictures attached are from our pool and spa today - after the tech "cleaned" and left a bill for over $200. Absolutely horrible. Terminated contract."

Yes, permits are required for fireplace removal projects since they often involve structural modifications. These permits ensure the work meets local building codes and maintains your home's structural integrity. Permit costs range from $100 to $1,000, depending on your location and project complexity.
While contractors often handle permit applications, it's wise to confirm this is included in their service. Check with your local building department before starting any work to avoid potential complications.
The impact on home value varies by location and market preferences. In colder climates or luxury markets, removing a fireplace might decrease appeal and value. However, in warmer regions or homes with efficient heating systems, the impact may be negligible. In some cases, the additional usable space created by removing an underutilized fireplace actually enhances functionality and appeal. Consider consulting with a local real estate professional before proceeding to understand potential impacts in your specific market.
Fireplace removal project timelines vary based on complexity. Basic insert removals may take one to two days, while more extensive projects involving full chimney and fireplace demolition require five to 14 days. Masonry fireplace removal takes three to four days for the demolition phase alone, with additional time needed for structural repairs and finishing work. Weather conditions, unexpected structural issues, and inspection scheduling can all extend the overall timeline.
Yes, but removing a fireplace from a load-bearing wall requires specialized structural engineering expertise. The process involves installing temporary support structures, removing the fireplace, and adding permanent structural reinforcements such as steel beams or headers. Due to the structural complexity and safety concerns, this type of removal should never be attempted without professional expertise. Improper removal could lead to serious structural damage to your home.
