"Bob responded to my request the same day and was very flexible to us having to delay his work repeatedly as we waited for a dry streak this wet summer to finish something else first. Bob had the right equipment (55' lift) to get the jobs done while protecting roof. Work was high quality and Bob is easy to work with. Would definitely use again."

"Jeff and crew were very professional and did a great job on the installation of turf surrounding our pool. Would highly recommend!"

"I needed my entryway stairs and porches replaced due to age. I found MMP Construction here on Angie’s list, and contacted them through the website. Matt, the owner, called me back the next day and we arranged a time for him to come and give me an estimate. He showed up exactly when he said he would, and emailed me the estimate the next day. When I hired him, he told me upfront that it would be a while before he could start due to an ongoing project he was working on. I appreciated that. When the time came for him to start, there were some delays, mainly weather related, and he was very conscientious about calling me and letting me know what was going on and when to expect them. Although the project took longer than I expected to be finished, I am very happy with the finished product. Matt is excellent at communication. He took care of all permits, and arranged all inspections. His crew was always on time. They did an excellent job cleaning up after they were done, and the finished project was fantastic. I would definitely recommend MMP Construction, and would not hesitate to use them again in the future."

"I'm very thankful to Jonathan & David for the handrails installation. Now, I feel safe again using the steps in/out of the house. They were both quick, attentive and respectful professionals at all times. I really appreciate your services."

"The two man team did a really thorough job of the cleaning. They were polite and professional. We were really happy with the result."

"Overall, the finishing of my basement went pretty smooth. The Owens Corning product, drop down ceiling, and flooring are all really sharp. In the beginning everything went fast and smooth with the framing and wall/floor/ceiling install being done within 2 weeks. There were some hiccups with minor imperfections, tv mount in wrong spot, etc. Those were fixed promptly. After that is when I ran into issues with other items in my contract that were not taken care of and the project felt forgot about. Just had some minor electric work, stairs to get carpeted, and didn't receive hanging clips yet. I had to constantly ask about these items and every answer would be "I forgot to ask or send the clips". I eventually got the items completed, but am not happiest that it took almost a month and constant reminding to get these items that should've been scheduled for during the project."

"GARAGESMITH'S workmanship and procedures are very good. They arrived in time and completed in time. We are very much satisfied with Garagesmith's work. The specific project was fixing the hanging rack for the garage. Garagesmith installed 2 of them . They are 8X3 ' ."

"Jason and his crew were great to work with! I've used him for several different projects at several different homes. Same with my family. Highly recommend!"

To accommodate our growing family my wife and I were considering our options – buying and moving to another location or adding on to our existing house.

To help in our decision I attended a local evening course titled - How To Avoid Building Or Remodeling H***.  The course was based on the book of the same name and was taught by the author Richard Connolly.  The information contained in the book and the course help us make the decision to remodel our existing house.

After speaking with a prospective contractor or two we were not comfortable with their suggested method/process for determining design specifications, estimates for pricing (i.e. a per square foot construction cost) and implementation plans.

Since we did not have construction experience we enlisted Richard’s services to assist us in being able to handle the general contractor role and duties.  By using the information and tools outlined in the book, How To Avoid Building Or Remodeling H***, were able to easily research the specifics of such a project and know what to do, step by step.  It had outlined the steps to take and questions to ask of all parties, including the building inspector and town departments.

By organizing the labor and material specifications at the detail level, surprises for unforeseen work or unapproved budget overruns were eliminated.  It also allowed for a better determination of the scope of the project. For example, it was easy to see that the cost of adding a small additional space was not going to be worth the benefit of that change.  It also showed that by doing work myself, like painting, I was able to cut 15% of the total budget.

By having Richard coordinate the project it was not difficult or time consuming to sign contractors and pay contractors or suppliers.  The project proceeded smoothly because communication was timely and effective, and the hired contractors were extremely professional and competent. The line item specifications provided an excellent way ensure payment to them was according to their performance, so there was never more money into the project than the work completed.

So, in the end we ended up doubling the living space for a lot less than double the cost and headaches.

The project was so successful that an article was published in The Boston Sunday Globe.

"The team did an amazing job! I called on Tuesday afternoon, John came the next day to do the quote, and started the removal/installation and completed it that Thursday. Super fast same day turn around for a great price. Very professional. The team went above and beyond. They even helped fix a prior cabinet issue for no additional cost. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!"
