"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 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."

"We hired Joe and his team to build a deck on the back of our home and gut renovate our kitchen. The final products look amazing and we’re very happy with the new spaces. Joe and his team did high quality work and were very friendly. These were our first Home renovation projects and we plan to hire Joe again in the future."

"Tejada’s remodeling will go above and beyond to make sure you are happy with the services provided. They were flexible and worked around our schedule. I already have them scheduled for more work this month! They do it all! Thank you Tejada’s!!!"

"The workers came on the appointed day with a longer ladder, as suggested.    Terry called to ask if he and an assistant could come by earlier than the original appointment time because they had finished work scheduled in the area earlier than expected; that certainly worked for me.    He surveyed the roof, took pictures and reattached a loose shingle that had fallen into the gutter.   Terry showed me the pictures of the roof from many angles; they showed no other repairs were necessary at this time.  Terry asked if there was anything else that required attention, but nothing else was immediately apparent.  He gave me his card and explained that the company does general contacting work.   <br /> I am very impressed with the speed and efficiency shown today and won't hesitate to call MMP Construction in future if I need general contracting work done. <br />"

"Excellent! My wife and I are very happy with Pegasus, from design to execution. The final result, delivered within the promised timeframe, was wonderful. Mike, the project manager, is SUPER. Very responsive and -very simply- just a pleasant person to work with. Jane is a very skilled architectural designer; she was super-patient with our continuous requests of updating the plans. Geoff was always available to provide guidance, and also was very patient with my continuous requests for clarifications (I am a bit of a pain in case it wasn't obvious). ;) All of the subcontractors working with them have been very professional and respectful. We will certainly hire them again in the future."

"Three terms you don't hear when speaking about contractors : Honesty, timely and effecient and pride of Workmanship. If you use Liam Neary Construction you will be using these terms and smiling as you tell others about your amazing experience. I had a leak in my roof with water coming in through the chimney. The water came into the utilitiy room creating a mini swimming pool and the hot water tank shut down. Liam came out within an hour of my phone call got my water running showed me how to clean the sensor for the future and reset the hot water tank. He scheduled to come out later that day to replace flashing on the roof to hopefully fix the problem. Unfortunately for me, it was not the full resolution. In the next rainstorm, I got water in the chimney again and reached out to Liam. This time it was a saturday and was thinking I might see him at the start of the work week or need to pay crazy money just to get him to show up. This was not my experience he showed up in 2 hours reviewed what he had done and come up with a new solution. He determined that the chimney needed some additional work and adjusted the price because of the original work that he had done correctly, but did not solve the problem completely. This contractor is the real deal. If you have a problem give him a call today. He will make your life easier and resolve your problems quickly. For the job done right call Liam Neary."

"Eric's team rebuilt our entire three season room, which was not functional. It is now, thanks to Mike and Brian. It also looks very good! Mike works hard at getting things done, and teaches the younger crew very well. He is structured and trustworthy. He also was patient answering my questions (I always have too many..!). Brian pays great attention to detail! I was impressed by how good the tile work looks, and also how good the finishing of the decking to the landing looks like, which he did. They also had to partly redo the patio, and it looks better than before."

"Pedro Quissanga was wonderful throughout the process. The project started out as a porch window replacement with an architect drawing plans, but once we started construction, we discovered that the whole underneath part was rotting and needed reconstruction. Pedro and his crew were hard working, reliable and careful, and his price for all of the work was very reasonable. When something went awry late in the construction, Pedro took it seriously and got people over within hours to locate the issue and fix the problem. Even though the project ended up being much more difficult than initially expected, there were never any unexpected charges and the additional work was at a consistent high level. We recommend Crystal Renovations without reservation and have several neighbors using them now for small-to-medium sized projects."
