The job was done timely and well for a reasonable price. I’m very happy with the final result of my new 2-story exterior set of stairs.

Internal house painting wall plastering and general hanging doors mirrors and rails for drapes. They arrived on time. Worked extra hours to ensure completion of the bucket list as we had guests arriving. I plan to use the service in the future

Both my husband and I Could not be happier with the final product- a simple but elegant portico for my ranch house. Dermot and his crew were always on time and they were very professional. They worked really hard and during the days at my property I seriously thought they were not even taking a break :) In order to finish the roof before rain came next day they worked until almost 7pm, on a Friday. Because of my overlook he had to make a time-consuming change. He did it without increasing the price. The portico received a few wows and my next door neighbor was so impressed - he came to talk to Dermot about his future home improvement project.

Major Renovation - Multiple Rooms
$20,000
I selected Royal Contracting because during the interviews with contractors they seemed to have the best understanding of construction principles and ideas for addressing the anomalies of a kitchen and bath remodel project in an older building. They were not the lowest bidder but I thought they had a commitment to craftsmanship and quality It is now a little more than 6 months after the project completed. I have called in another plumber to repair a leak in the installation of the kitchen faucet. The pull-out drawer for the kitchen wastebasket needed to be reinstalled. And the overflow drain in the bathtub leaks.

Royal Contracting did 2 projects for me; kitchen cabinet rework and installing an entry way door and window. Dermot is extremely reliable, he calls when he says he will and delivers exactly as promised. His estimates were fair and without any surprises. I appreciate the fact that he does listen to the customer and offers suggestions, but doesn't try to 'sell' things you don't need or want done. He and his crew were very professional and focused every step of the way. Royal does excellent quality work and it really shows in the final product. Several neighbors commented on the workmanship. I highly recommend and would hire Royal again!

Royal Contracting did a complete renovation of our kitchen and installed a new entry and new side door. Dermot did a great job from beginning to end. He made a number of practical recommendations that worked very well and was wiliing to discuss every aspect of the work as much as needed. We were very pleased with the process and are very pleased with the final product.

My bathroom remodel looks super! Dermot and his team were outstanding - courteous, professional, talented, and respectful of the rest of my home. The attention to detail for every facet of the project was exceptional. They came when they said they would and worked late if they needed to finish a segment of the project - and they cleaned up at the end of each day! The suggestions Dermot made improved the final look of my room tremendously. They completed the project on schedule and on budget. I highly recommend Royal Contracting - they will do it right and you will not be disappointed!!!!

Dermot was extremely professional as were his staff. My bathroom was done beautifully. Everything was left neat and tidy everyday when they left. Dermot came in under the budget we gave him to work and we got everything we wanted and more. I will definately use Dermot again for our next upcoming project and have referred him to all our friends.

Dermot shows why he is a master craftman. He not only gave us ideas but was professional, personable and reliable. He completed our Porch in the time frame he told us and we could not be happier with the finished product. We cannot wait for our friends to come over and see our new addition. I have already hire Dermot to complete other project in the near furture. We would recommend Dermot to anyone looking for work to be done.

Dermot was very thoughtful and patient in designing our deck space to what we wanted given a difficult setting. He worked very hard to make it just as we envisoned. He was fair about cost.

Dermot is pleasant, professional, and he did a beautiful job with my difficult little bathroom space. From the estimate through the clean-up, Dermot and his team were punctual and dependable. They showed up on the dot and never kept us waiting. The finished result (re-tile and paint touch-up) is beautiful. They also installed new blinds and took great care to pay attention to every detail. Pricing is very reasonable for the excellent quality of the work. I highly recommend Dermot and plan to give his card to my friends. J. Blackler, Brookline, MA.

Dermot is an incredible craftsmen. His work on our bathroom was top rate. He was always available to discuss each and every concern we had during each step of the job. He always returned our phone calls and kept us informed daily about his schedule. Dermot is very personal, easy going, approachable guy. He really kept us at ease in understanding a pretty extensive remodeling job. I will definitely hire Dermot again in the future, and I would highly recommend him to any one needing general contracting work.
