"For our home addition/renovation we are very grateful to have found Richard Connolly and his site iCornerstone. Our vision was a Two-story + basement + livable attic space home addition which would provide significant practical square footage to our existing house and integrate seamlessly with it. We interviewed a number of general contractors but we were overall a bit uncomfortable after the interviews due to gaps in transparency regarding how costs were calculated and how timelines were established, resulting in some lack of confidence. We happened upon Richard’s iCornerstone site via Angies. Richard provided an extremely transparent and detailed description of his unique and practical process, which delivered a set of superb designs along with a truly logical, transparent, and honest listing of costs, both materials and labor, at all stages, and how those costs were derived. Richard also delivered transparency on timelines, and he provided recommendations for all the needed tradespeople that he had historically a close working relationship with; alternatively we could have selected tradespeople of our own choosing. Richard and his process gave us the utmost confidence for proceeding. We proceeded with our renovation under Richard’s guidance and his own crew and the entire process went according to plan with excellent communication, rapport, and confidence at all stages from excavation to final finish work. Transparency, confidence-building, dependability, highly knowledgeable, customer-friendly, and results-oriented are all terms we would use to describe Richard and the iCornerstone process. We strongly recommend Richard for anyone contemplating any home renovation or home addition, large or small."

"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."

"Great, Dave stayed within our budget and our addition looks like it was part of a whole new home construction. We were really impressed with Dave Kinsella's design concepts and the workmanship was high quality even though we were on a tight budget. Dave comes from a big family so he understands money and time constraints plus he wants his projects to look as aesthetically pleasing to his clients as possible. We would definitely hire Dave again."

"Cesar and his team were a pleasure to work with. I hired them to redo my kitchen and I couldn't be more satisfied with the outcome. Once the kitchen was gutted, we discovered some surprises (insufficient framing and rotten roof planks), which Cesar's team handled expertly. His men are true craftsmen and were able to resolve every issue with ease and professionalism. Cesar is very communicative and always available to discuss plans and changes. The work is superior and the finished product is stunning. I couldn't be happier and wholeheartedly recommend them."

"Very pleased with his vision for my addition."

"Hossein Vahedi of CLASSICAL HOMES LLC designed our house and supervised the construction process. He was friendly and easy to work with, had many creative ideas, and really tried to understand our needs. He worked well with our general contractor. His price is very reasonable. I highly recommend him to people who want to create their own dream house, but need professional help to translate their ideas to doable project."

"Marc Hershman is a wonderful architect! He was so easy to work with and offered great ideas for how to improve the house spatially so that the flow of the floor plan(on the first floor) became more aesthetic and efficient. Marc worked tirelessly in the extreme heat of the summer to achieve precise measurements of every inch of the house. His detailed plans were drawn beautifully and accurately and explained articulately in our first meeting. We appreciated Marc's follow up visits to ensure that the construction was done properly and according to plan. Marc related to the contractor in a positive and professional manner. Overall, Marc was always professional and prompt. We found his pricing to be extremely reasonable- great value for the dollar! We would definitely work with him again and highly recommend Marc Hershman to anyone in need of high-quality architectural services."

"I recently had the pleasure of working with Bay State Remodeling for a project at my residence. The project was adding an office, finishing the space above my garage as well as adding a mudroom. The project was started by another contractor who, after finishing approximately a third of the job, disappeared and would not communicate with me. Worse they had left a very large mess of construction debris in my yard. I reached out to several contractors to attempt to get the project finished. Upon hearing the project was already started by another contractor, most of the new contractors were not interested in engaging in the work. Bay State stepped up and immediately helped me feel at ease that the project was now in the hands of true professionals. Upon reviewing the prior contractors work they discovered several issues and explained to me my options. Jamie was instrumental in the initial onboarding of the project and assisted me with picking finishes. Andreina was my contact throughout the project and kept me informed on progress and what work was scheduled in the coming week. Marcio was frequently on site and was extremely helpful in explaining my options throughout the project and sharing his expertise from what he had seen on other projects. They were also very helpful in spotting small issues where some finished work could be improved and quickly brought the team back on site to address. All of the workers that were on site were professional and despite this being a multi-month engagement, the disruption was kept to a minimum for my family. The professionalism of the Bay State team was exemplary, and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone in the future."

"Overall project went very well - the bathrooms are beautiful and functional. We did not have an architect, just worked with Mike and our own design preferences. Mike was great at working through design issues that came up, and also at guiding selections. Very personable and fun guy to work with. Somethings outstanding, some very very good, and just a few areas could be better The outstanding - initial pricing of the job - very clear, and he held price except for major changes; his direct crew (did demo, protection, carpentry) also excellent; electrical & tile awesome. Mike was also great at working through issues around our historic district and building inspection (and Brookline can be a pain). Very impressive. The very very good - Mike worked us into his schedule very quickly - these days that’s pretty great. He communicated very well on start up and schedule of early work. He was also great at helping us address a major issue that came up - replacing knob and tube wiring throughout house. Mike also has a good strategy for managing the selection of tile and plumbing fixtures, b/c pricing is so variable for these - you go direct to supplier and get contractor prices. The one issue with this is that the sub isn’t fully coordinated with the selections - wasn’t an issue for tile, but for plumbing the fittings & connections weren’t fully coordinated - but that was addressed by the plumber and Mike. The areas that weren’t perfect - guys did not provide ventilation during demo, as a result we had concrete and plaster dust everywhere from the old thick set bathroom. As job progressed, and we had added complexity of the knob & tube, we had some communication drops. Finally, biggest area: the plumber was the weakest link in his subs (but there may have been extenuating circumstances.) We had some issues there - Mike addressed, but that was one area where we had less than smooth sailing. We would use Mike again without hesitation."
