"Excellent! Gil was fantastic and his team did everything to plan and the workmanship is terrific - the renovation exceeds our expectations in every way. Gil worked to the budget and we had discussions if we wanted changes made/additions. I highly recommend New England Carpentry."

"Excellent - highly recommend"

"The initial build went reasonably well. We did find problems which they did come back and fix. I noticed a railing support that was cracked. I was told that I must of done it, that was that. The plugs that cover the screw holes in the stairs are falling out. I looked for some at Home Depot, but couldn't find the right color. I still had Chase's cell #, so I texted him and asked if he could send me some plugs, and I would do it myself. No response. Tried again the next day, still no response. I'm not surprised. Aging the build was decent, price was higher than most. Now that nearly 2 years have gone by, and customer service should be anticipated, nothing. Never again."

"Mike is engaged and passionate about renovations. It shows! Always responsive, his clear communication makes for a great experience. He is honest and direct."

"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!"

"I am delighted to recommend Vahe and his team at BAB. His architectural and design skills are truly outstanding. From the outset, Vahe impressed me with his thoughtful ideas and his commitment to working within my budget—always looking for ways to save on unnecessary costs for me without compromising quality or vision. What stood out most was his exceptional communication. Vahe consistently kept me informed and coordinated seamlessly with all parties involved: the condo HOA board, property management, neighbors, and the city. His proactive approach meant he often anticipated and addressed potential issues before they became problems. This contributed to it being a low-stress experience for me. Despite the challenges of remodeling a small, older urban unit—and my being out of state in a different time zone—Vahe and his on-site team were able to creatively and efficiently expand both the kitchen and bathroom and bring to life my dream of a charming little back bay condo. His professionalism, transparency, and warmth came through from our very first phone call. I immediately trusted him, and he delivered beyond expectations. I highly recommend Vahe, Carine, Luigi and the BAB team without hesitation. Their integrity, expertise, and dedication make them an exceptional partner on any project."

"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!"

"It went all according to plan. He came over and he diagnosed it like correctly and he suggested like a very thorough repair. Whenever there was a problem or a question, he was really responsive and they did whatever needed to be done and their subcontractors were very nice and respectable and they did really nice clean work. The bathroom looks great and I would highly recommend him."

"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."
