We are a full service, family owned and run construction & general contracting company founded in 1979. We have been building new homes, additions, remodeling,renovating and restoring all over Eastern Massachusetts and the Cape for over 30 years. We work primarily with residential clients but about 10% of our work has been commercial (restaurants,offices and retail). We specialize in custom kitchen cabinetry and all types of built-in cabinets. We have extensive experience in all phases of building and excellent references. We have an excellent and reliable group of sub-contractors and suppliers that we have developed. Our permanent employees or core staff numbers between 5 & 6 currently. I personally oversee every project and commit the majority of my efforts as the lead carpenter on each project. Some of our more extraordinary projects have been published in both local & national magazines. Contracts and payment arrangements vary with the type, size & duration of the project and our clients requirements. I hold current Construction Supervisor's License and Home Improvement Contractor's License as required by the state of Masasachusetts. I hold an EPA Certificate/License as required by the federal government for safe lead handling & containment during renovation or remodeling of homes built before 1978. We carry both liability and workers compensation insurance.

The work was done years ago and we still have nightmares. It cost over twice what was quoted. David charged to repair his own mistakes. We are still correcting a multitude of mistakes. It was not collaborative. If you questioned ANYTHING he would become volitile. He instructed his subs to cut corners. This was communicated to me by one of the many subs that were fired or quit while on the job. At one point, he became so angry that we had to call the police. We fired him and he put a Leon on our home. We had to attain legal counsel. We won, but the trauma our family suffered through our dealing with David lives on. He uses photos of our kitchen to advertise his work, even though it was agreed upon that he would not. Beware, he now works under a new name.

David does meticulous work. Only downside: his thoroughness makes for slow going. Get a quote, not time and  materials. He will also take a lot of time talking, but doesn't bill for that time.

overall it was very contentious - it was obvious that the builder was in money trouble as some of the subs who were contracted did not end up doing the work - the fireplace put in was faulty frm the start - none of the exterior windows were wrapped in a proper and professional way so as we have just spent a fortune to take the entire exterior of the house down to the insulation-no proper fireproofing insulation was installed on the left side of the exterior wall of the fireplace which is a code violation at best - tyvek was put on only in places on the exterior leaving a very wet sheathing underneath the siding and shingles - never replaced proper plywood sheathing on exterior where room was renovated - upon restoration it was discovered that they used silicone to fill holes and spaces -we are still under restoration from poor workmanship - never knew what sub was going to show up as the builder's temper was so bad he would fire them and then not replace them - very bad experience - very costly - it has cost us a huge amount to fix all the mistakes - this company has filed  a couple of times - dont ever hire them.  their work was fraudulent

He was extremely difficult to work with, finding all sorts of new things to charge us for. He had a very combative personalty, and was constantly changing plans. I had a very bad experience and would not use or recommend his services to anyone.
