McGowan Design-Build

We hired tim for a complete demo and re-fresh of our condo kitchen in Charlestown, and could not have been happier with his work. From the first meeting, Tim was professional, responsive and transparent (we noticed this immediately, especially after a few other potential contractors did not show up for appointments). Throughout the whole project, Tim communicated with us frequently (this was very important to us, as we could not be home during the weekdays) and his attention to detail was evident early on in the project. Not only was the project completed earlier than estimated, but it was on budget and exceeded our expectations! This was our first experience with remodeling and we hope to hire Tim for each future project. Professional, responsive, on budget and a general joy to work with.

Excellent. Anyone who needs to make renovations or alterations in their home is looking for a contractor who will implement original architect’s plan according to the timetable, will do the job accurately and will be able to even improve the original plan if needed. We all expect that on this path compromises are inevitable. We’ve hired Tim and - unexpectedly - there was no need to any compromise. We had an alterations project in our new condo, which included a wall and closets demolition, installation of new doors and walls (one of them being a glass wall), kitchen cabinets addition and some electrical work. This required coordination with several sub-contractors, condo management and city officials. To make things even more complicated, we had to live in our unit during the renovations. We were lucky to get Tim to run this project, which he did perfectly, with excellent time planning and attention to details. Cheerful, calm and knowledgeable, he was always on time, working hard and easy at the same time. I want to emphasize what I liked the most: Tim’s ability to do almost anything with his own hands, his quick and prompt response to all requests, great communication and time scheduling, him being always on time and keeping the deadlines. The people he works with (his subcontractors) are also great professionals and nice guys. It was a pleasure to work with Tim, who has provided a great service. We appreciate Tim’s hard work and wish him the best of luck in growing his business.

Excellent. Tim was very professional in all his dealings with me. Always called ahead to give me his arrival time. Not easy to find contractors who will come into Boston condos. He did great work himself and managed his crew very well. Condo mgt was very complimentary of him as well.
