653 Did not follow instructions on the height of the stone wall. Wall was poorly constructed. Left so very many holes between rocks with no cement. Did not take away the debris from the previous wall as per our initial request, but broke up the previous wall cinder blocks and used the broken...
Shaho Masonry, LLCOne of the best experiences I've had w/ home repair. Jason arrived by 7:00am each morning. Everything was coordinated with the material and dumpster delivery. The cleanup was so good, that the yard looked better than before the work started. Jason did any needed repairs before laying down...
Went very smoothly despite small delays in delivery and some minor tile issues. Subcontractors coordinated well. The only thing I would do differently is use a decorator to help pull some of the loose ends together. Although it looks great, in retrospect I probably would have made some...
With the fabric that I provided, Brownie re-upholstered my sofa. His service was outstanding, from the very fair initial estimate, to pick up and final delivery. I will not hesitate to call him again in the future and to recommend his service to others.
Scott called me back the same day that I called him. He came two days later. He said he would be there early afternoon and call when he was on the road. He called in advance and he arrived on time. I had called 4 other floor refinishers. Only one other called back and that price was...
Oil delivery and communication have been very good, however, I had an oil fill pipe moved from one corner of the house 2ft over to the other corner of the house, and the service cost me $850..TOOK ABOUT one hour and 15 minutes to complete it. Otherwise, they have been flexible and professional.
I really liked Tyler upon meeting him. He was professional, friendly, and provided me with an emailed and mailed quote containing a contract within a day or two. His ideas for the retaining wall were exactly what I was looking for. A crew that Tyler contracts came to do the actual work. Tyler...
Torrison Stone & Garden LLCDelivery was quick and on time. Wood was all split and dry and seemed to be actual cord size, or close to it. Size of individual pieces varied, with most wood in the 16-18 inch range but some pieces were up to 24 of 26 inches and some were small 6 or 8 inch chunks. In terms of diameter...

"The experience we had collaborating with Jeremy and the Sensible Home Products (SHP) team was outstanding and one beyond anything we could have imagined. In fact, we have never had a better experience with any contractor or company, of any type, than what we had with SHP. Trust, transparency, and talent are three essential elements that drive a fantastic customer experience. Jeremy demonstrated a level of trust that gave us comfort that the needed improvements made to our 90-year-old home, were appropriate and that the house would be safe, secure, and visually pleasing for future generations. This trust emerged from the initial quote that described the specific steps SHP would follow, to leaving the work area, every day, as spotless as when the team showed up, to traveling to the Boston area for a door that was not available at a store in Connecticut, to creatively and thoughtfully solving the issues and challenges the house threw at SHP, to taking every requested addition to the project with a can do attitude. In a nutshell, the SHP focus was ensuring that the improvements to our house would stand the test of time, and that the work was completed with care and dedication as if we were part of Jeremy’s family. Jeremy was transparent about the daily work. He sent us pictures of the progress made and of the structural issues that were uncovered. Although we would have wished wood rot, roof leakage, water damage and termite damage did not exist, they did. Because Jeremy provided the daily updates, he was able to share why the improvements were needed and important. He always answered my questions clearly and concisely. The SHP billing approach was clear so there were never any surprises. In fact, I was pleasantly surprised at how reasonably the project ended up costing. Observing Jeremy and the SHP teamwork was amazing. I have never seen such a talented, dedicated, caring, and creating team. They worked with amazing efficiency and effectiveness. I can attest, based on other projects we have taken on, this project would have taken much longer than the five short weeks (including Christmas and below freezing temperatures) this took. The quality of their work was remarkable and the pride in their workmanship was always evident. The extra touches he included in the project and the counsel he provided gave us 100% confidence that he would do what was right and that he, and SHP, would go above and beyond. The house is beautiful, and Jeremy and SHP will always hold a place in our hearts. They are an absolute gift, and they are now considered part of our family. I did not know Jeremy before this project, but I now count him as a friend. Going forward, we will call Jeremy and SHP first and we will know that he will care for us and for our house as if it was his own."
