FINNEGAN DEVELOPMENT INC

Completely inept and deceitful. No concern or ability to supervise. Contractors were inferior and dishonest in every matter. Cheated on each and every item. Never showed up on time and never corrected problems. Had to replace every item of his work and still living with the disaster to this day. No skill or concern or pride in workmanship. Takes your money then is non-responsive. Would have sued for breach but walked away with money and had to pay to repair all of his defective work. I would not use this guy, completely dishonest.

The job was fabulous. Jim and his team are professional and handled all aspects of the job in an organized and timely manner. Ihave had many friends s who have done remodeling and by the time thay are finished they usually hate their contracctors, not so with us. This is the second time we have used Finnegan Development, my husband used him to build out his optometrist ofice space last year and was so pleased with his work he insisted he do our home remodel. I always say that a contractor is only as good as his subs and JIm's subs were great, very hard working and cleaned up everyday so the mess was tolerable.I was always consulted aloing the way so that no mistakes were made that would be costly to repair. I had several other estimates for this job and Jim's price was more than fair. Overall, i would highly reccomend Finnegan Development to anyone with out hesitation

His performance overall was far far below anything i ever would have expected coming from the two very type A personality friends who reccommended him. He did not take accountability for the numerous mistakes he made and would not fix them without further charges. An example would be when he raised our living room ceiling and in doing so cut off access almost completely to the furnace above in the attic. I have since had 3 new builders for estimates on next project and several electricians and hvac companies for minor repairs along the way. Without fail, each one of them has asked who did work on this house because, "I WANT TO MAKE SURE MY GUYS NEVER USE HIM OR WORK FOR HIM IN THE FUTURE." I have since been told that I have major electrical & fire hazards due to his work. Many live wires were left uncovered, air conditioning / heating returns and vents were never reconnected, dryer was vented to attic with no ventilation to the outside. I do not think he ever knew what he was doing. He was paid in full and had all of his sub-contractors sign appropriate lien waivers. Do yourself a favor and reconsider spending your money with this company. I am very happy to have terminated the relationship and that he did not do more than the $85,000 worth of negligent work.

I will be using Finnegan Development on projects in the future and recommend for any commercial or residential projects. I do not believe he handles small jobs as he is best practiced in larger $25,000 and up jobs; including, but not limited to new residential construction. I have used Jim in the past when he was a smaller operation and find that he has grown through good service, honest bidding, and hard work. I would caution potential clients not to use the least expensive bid; use Finnegan development for value! Finnegan will probably be your lowest anyway!

Jim Finnegan personally got involved with every aspect and his team did a great job.

I called Jim to discuss the work, he came out immediately and provided a quote within three days. The construction when smoothly, work was complete as promised.

First of all, they installed a master steam shower and we had to have it ripped out and redone because it was done improperly, they refused to do any of it. They rehabbed a deck but it never passed inspection and we had to hire another contractor, pay more money, to bring it up to code. We withheld money from the deck project because of other problems and he put a lein on our property. From one of the contracts we have with him, he overcharged us $12,000 and we were only reimbursed for half of it. Part of the overcharging was because they had to tear up part of the foundation in the basement because of request from the structural engineer. They charged us to put the bricks back up. There was another bill to put the bricks back up top and pour concrete. We were billed twice for one thing and there is water seapage in the basement where this work was done, so it was not done properly. They also connected a roof drain pipe to the city water line incorrectly and it is now leaking. He installed the HVAC on the roof and in doing so, when cutting holes in the roof the roof started leaking. The roof didn't leak before we started doing any of this work. He referred us to a roofer to repair the problem but it still leaks. He refuses to take any responsibility for the leak. He says it's the roofer's problem.

The project went well. Jim and his crew did a great job and as I write this six months after completion, the quality of the work is still holding up. Jim was easy to work with and was very responsive.

Overall, the project went very well. The timing and price at the end was what Finnegan told us at the beginning it would be. I would recommend this contractor to anyone and would definitely use him again.

The construction went surprisingly well. There were no delays or extras, & my new place looks great. Their construction manager is very detailed in his work & considerate/clean. There were a couple minor call backs, but they came back to touch-up right away. Overall, I am VERY HAPPY in my new digs & would highly recommend this contractor to anyone. THANKS ANGIE!!
