Boston Master Bedroom Remodel

All the jobs we have done with Frank (large remodel including kitchen, master bath, master bedroom, complete gut and remodel of basement as well as a number of other smaller jobs) have all gone very well.

It went really well, the work was done 2 days a head of schedule, Nidal doesn’t waste time, he showes up every day early to work, it came out beautiful and better that expected... very happy with it.

We've hired John and his crew for a lot of projects over the years-- a kitchen remodel, 2 bathroom remodels, and now an addition. As all the other reviewers have said, John and his crew do exceptional work and are very responsive. We've never had a problem with delays or the crew missing in action. When we did have a problem with a kitchen cabinetry place, John became involved and made sure everything was dealt as quickly and satisfactorily as possible. They're also extremely conscientious of our pets (who can be escape artists). What sets Busy-bee above all other contractors, though, is the crew. We've had the pleasure of working with John, Gary, Jimmy, and Dan for long periods of time over the years. These gentlemen are truly wonderful and definitely go above and beyond what's necessary, making sure that the customer has a chance for input when needed and willing to redo something if the customer isn't happy. What's more, they're just generally nice guys-- I caught Dan this morning helping our elderly neighbor shovel snow before starting work. Gary watched my husband and I struggle to move a heavy rock in the garden one time, and came out to help-- without making too much fun of us! I'm happy to know that the Busy-bee crew is working on my home, and can't recommend them highly enough.

Sanfer and team were great to work with for the addition of closets in a bedroom as well as for adding an entirely new bathroom on our 3rd floor. Along with all new plumbing and electric it also included a new, ducted mini-split heating system for that zone. His pricing was in line with the other companies I spoke with and he ultimately was the winning bid due to his collaboration during the process. it was a blank room and we worked on a few different layouts to get it right!From a management standpoint, there were sub-contractors needed(electrical and plumbing requires a licensed individual to pull permits in my city) and multiple inspections were required and he did a great job managing all of those moving parts in a timely fashion. All in all, I'd hire Sanfer again and plan to talk to him about a deck and kitchen remodel.

The home remodeling was superbly done and we love how the finished house came out. Even though ours was an addition to the existing house, the construction was vey well done and the new part of the house does not look like an addition (kudos to the architect as well!) Scott and his team were great to work with. They were very professional in their work. They paid a lot of attention to detail, which clearly showed in the end product. The cost of the project was largely within what Scott mentioned at the beginning of the project. The only problem that I can think of was that the project, for various reasons, was delayed a bit, which at the end of the day we didn't mind that much. I'd take a slight delay in the project to get a great quality construction, which is what we got.

I can't say enough great things about the Prathers. We took on a major project with them: building an addition, including a new kitchen, bath and master bedroom. We stayed in the house through the project (with our 2 year old) and - all things considered - they made it incredibly easy. They were efficient, kept our home and yard clean everyday through the work, and kept in constant contact about the progress each step of the way. Mike was the one we interacted with on a routine basis. He's the nicest person, was always available - nights, weekends or otherwise - for questions, was patient with our anxieties and explained every step to us in detail. It's one thing to have a good contractor, but we also just really liked him (and everyone else on their team.) Timing wise, they finished right on schedule, had no significant delays, and (kindly) pushed us when we owed them decisions on things like tile and paint colors so materials were ordered and ready to go ahead of when they were needed. They run a well-oiled operation. Very impressive. I think they were on the upper end of typical pricing for the work but very reasonable. Our project had overages, but all because of additional work we added (e.g. we decided to update another bathroom, reshingle the roof and re-side our house all after the work began.) They billed us every week with a careful accounting of work completed. And they documented every request in a change order for our approval, which ensured no surprises or unexpected costs, so it always made sense and was very transparent. Only advice would be to try as much as possible to have decisions buttoned up before the work so there aren't changes and unexpected costs over the budget. Still, their expertise was well worth every penny. Lastly, and probably most importantly, is the quality of their work. They were meticulously detail oriented and did everything perfectly. My dad is a retired home builder and scrutinized everything they did and was constantly impressed and constantly noting that "they did this the right way." No shortcuts, no rough edges. The couple of exceptions where we noticed a little scuff mark or tiny issue, they were very prompt in fixing every last detail to perfection. In short, we couldn't be happier that we chose them, would work with them again in a heartbeat, and completely recommend them.

Hancock Building Associates are everything a good contractor should be, and i whole-heatedly recommend them as contractors, as professionals, and as people. I first met Darrell, the President of HBA in 2014, when he came to bid on a job to add a farmers porch to our house, add and replace windows, and re-side the whole house. He came late in the day on a Saturday, to fit our schedule, and from Day 1 he was incredibly friendly and professional, making suggestions as we walked through the job. From that first conversation it was obvious that he wasnt just a first rate and experienced craftsman, but he also genuinely cared about how the job was going to work out, and also how he would complete it with minimal disruption to us (we had an 18 month old at the time). We followed all of his suggestions, including his own design, and the end product is outstanding, and was delivered on time and on budget, with minimal disruption. Five years later, we still have passers by comment on the front the house, especially those who remember how it used to look. Since then, we have hired Darrell and his team on over ten occasions over the last 5 years as we gradually remodeled and extended our single family home in Concord MA. Beyond the farmers porch, work includes; adding a laundry room, adding two new bathrooms and remodeling another one, adding/replacing ~30 windows, finishing an 800 sqft basement, replacing two fireplaces and fixing two chimneys, updating electric wiring throughout, remodeling the kitchen and dining room, adding a mudroom, changing the heat from oil to gas, rebuilding a 600 sqft family room, and landscaping the front and back yards, including wall and patio work. Across jobs, Darrell and his team have been excellent and a pleasure to work with. We have got to know them all - they are like a family, who have worked together for many years, and it shows with how good they work together, and it is such a difference to have all the trades under one logo. They are the friendliest and most professional contractors you can work with, who deliver the highest quality work, and are always looking for ways they can over deliver on your expectations. To name a few; Kevin and Tom have always been great site managers and always available when needed (even outside of jobs, Tom will drive over to the house to look at anything at 10 mins notice), Mike and Tyler are the best and fastest framers, Kenny (electrics) and Kevin (plumbing) have updated the utilities for the entire house, and Andy is the finest finish carpenter we could have hoped for, and his design fingerprints are all over our whole house. Its all led by Darrell though, and his team treat customers and clients as he treats them. Over the years, he has become a part of our family, and our kids love seeing him, and he always has time for them. High class work, delivered in as respectful and non-intrusive manner as possible; and always on time and on budget. We cannot recommend Hancock enough, and are happy to respond to questions about their work as helpful.

Everything came out better than I had anticipated. In the master bedroom he took out the flat ceiling and added cathedral ceiling with skylight. All plastering, painting, flooring was taken care of wonderfully. After he completed that project we asked him to come back and installed a new floor on our living room and stairs and dining room. He continued to find a contractor for continued painting around the house. We were so thrilled. He came in and did what he said he was going to do, in a timely fashion. The contractors he hired were wonderful as well. My wife and I were very very pleased. Any little things that came up several weeks down the road he always came back and took care of it. He was trustworthy and we EVEN left a key out to enter while we were out. The workers were the same. Price is based upon 2 jobs combined.

This was the third time my family has hired Jeff Veglia for a home remodeling job. He had previously redone the kitchen at my house and a kitchen and bathroom at a family member's house. As with the prior two jobs, Jeff was always easy to reach and his team did good work and was very respectful of the house and our time. There was an unexpected structural issue that surfaced after the job started and the walls were opened up, and Jeff lined up the right professionals to assess the problem and rectify it. The price was fair and the work product and communication was exceptional. I have now used Jeff for three jobs and also referred him to a friend who hired him to renovate two bathrooms earlier this year. A+ all around - I will continue to call Jeff Veglia for my home remodeling needs and refer him to friends and family looking for a quality contractor.

Pat O'Connell and his team were excellent. Pat is very knowledgeable and his crew was punctual, friendly and hardworking. The job included removing old windows and extending the window openings to turn 2 windows into 5 windows. The drywall had to be replaced on 2 full walls. All work was completed in only 4 days, including all finishing inside and out and the room was repainted including the ceiling. All clean-up was done. We were very satisfied with the whole process; quote, scheduling, skill, workmanship. We recommend Pat O'Connell without hesitation to anyone with home remodeling or woodworking projects, large or small.
