"Fearghal Kenny turned our 130-year-old Victorian attic into a beautiful living space with modern aesthetics and time-period sensibilities. He is a highly skilled craftsman with years of experience and a fantastic eye for detail. He managed his team of quality subcontractors beautifully. He was flexible, responded immediately to inquiries, and was respectful of requests. Our new living space, which includes a bathroom, is absolutely beautiful! We highly recommend Kenny Builders and plan to hire him for our next project."

"John and Kim were a pleasure to work with. They communicated well and were very responsive whenever I had questions, both before and during my project. The quality of John’s work was excellent and his dedication to getting the job done as quickly as possible, even in the face of some very cold weather, was impressive."

"Advance Guard Builders were wonderful to work with. The work was done extremely well, and timeline and budget were on point with what they said. I would definitely hire them again!"

"I hired Nilton and his company Pro Touch Construction to help completely demolish and renovate my 2BD 2BA 900 sq ft condo when I originally purchased it. The project included: - Complete demo of each room - Kitchen expansion and remodeling - Appliance installation (dishwasher, sink, stove, etc) - Complete remodeling of both bathrooms - Converting a stand up shower in one of the bathrooms to a walk-in shower - Brand new electrical and plumbing work (including installing in-wall speakers throughout the condo) - Install new vinyl flooring - Repainting the entire unit - Etc One of the things that stood out the most for me with Nilton is that he took the time to meet with me (several times) at the condo when I first purchased it. I had spent time designing each room with an interior designer using Pinterest photo albums and other inspiration I had found. But I also had a very fixed budget which not only did he make work but he consulted me on things I should consider to save costs (including going with vinyl flooring vs hardware floors). As shown in the photos, Nilton and his crew completed the project to absolute perfect. I was absolutely blown away with how beautiful my condo looked after he finished the job. And it's been 4 years and I still get compliments to this day from everyone who comes by to visit! Also, some of Nilton's suggestions (e.g. vinyl floors vs hardware floors), helped me save thousands of dollars in the long run. If you're looking for a skilled general contractor, who's very personable, honest and hard work — hiring Nilton and Pro Touch Construction yesterday. You will not be disappointed!"

"Jeff and his team did a fantastic job on our bathroom renovation. The work was of very high quality, and Jeff was very responsive from the initial scoping to the final walk throughs and everything in between. Would certainly recommend Jeff, especially for renovations in older, historical homes that require precision and care. Thank you Jeff!"

"In 2021, I hired Eric to fix a water leak in my basement. I paid approximately $8000. Three months after the work was done, there was leaking again. He came over and told me that this was a different leak. After I saved up enough money, I was referred to an expert in basement leaks/foundations. He came over and completed the work. When he was doing the work, he proactively asked me who did the work previously. He said he was clearly not done by someone with knowledge of foundations. I have tried to resolve with Eric. At a minimum, I deserve a refund"

"I am extremely satisfied with the kitchen renovation done by WR Builders Inc. Their team was professional, detail-oriented, and committed to delivering high-quality work. They provided valuable design input and ensured that every aspect of the project was completed to our specifications. The new kitchen is both functional and aesthetically pleasing, and we have received numerous compliments from friends and family. WR Builders Inc. is a reliable and skilled contractor that I would gladly recommend."

"Very good. Contractor is honest and meticulous. Excellent communication. Highest recommendation, would definitely hire them again."

"As a testament to how happy we were with our first renovation provided by the Curtice Group in 2021, which provided completely new kitchen/dining/mudroom/bath, we hired Scott and his team again in 2024-25 for another major renovation. This job was composed of 3 main parts: a gut remodel of our main bathroom, renovation of a large attic space (about 700 sq ft), and whole-home conversion from steam radiators (gas) to heat pumps including removal of all radiators and a chimney. The bathroom now is attractive and more functional, the attic adds a large amount of useful space as an office/kid room/guest area, and central air makes a more comfortable climate. I’m a big fan of the design/build concept, because you really don’t want to separate those two elements into different contractors, and if you find a talented company, they can handle all aspects of the job fluidly. Scott Curtice has a real knack for design, he is attentive and cares about details, and he will perform carpentry and touch-up work as needed. Moreover, he handled all the project coordination so that we could do the jobs that we do well, which do not include home renovation."
