Everything went well! Larry built new back steps to my home and also a new deck to my home. He is friendly and explains everything he is doing. I look forward to having him paint the exterior of my home and any other future projects.

Framing Service
I've had an overall excellent experience working with Larry! I hired him to get the framing done for my finished basement, and he has always been quick to respond and did excellent work. He coordinate well to get the materials delivered, and arrived promptly to transport them to the project location. It was always easy to schedule things and get in contact with Larry. I would definitely hire him again!

BEWARE!!! I hired him based on his rating as a Certified Pro with 5 star reviews. He is NOT registered as a Home Improvement Contractor as required in the state of Massachusetts but he attested to having the credentials to get the Certified Pro rating. His work on my deck was shoddy at best and has to be redone. The deposit he required exceeded the cost of materials and the 30% limit Massachusetts mandates. He tried to charge me for the estimate, travel time and inflated the labor completed. It was an expensive lesson. I found out there are many complaints against Angi. I will never trust Angi contractors again.
Response from DeVaux Home Improvement
"I am sorry this customer feels this way. I am a detail oriented high level carpenter with many happy customers. This customer judged my work before I had the chance to complete it and barred me from continuing the work. I was completely perplexed by the behavior. I wish this customer all the luck going forward."

Kitchen and Bath Remodeling
Larry just remodeled our kitchen and did an incredible job! He's extremely knowledgeable, easy to talk to, timely, and worked in an honest and professional manner the entire time. As first home owners, finding a good contractor isn't always easy and can be intimidating - but we feel we really lucked out with Larry. He also has a designer's eye and we felt that his vision for the home really matched with ours from the get-go. We'll definitely be recommending his services to friends and family, and we'll undoubtedly need his help ourselves again in the future!

Larry Devaux did an excellent job on my stairs, despite a short period and quick deadline that i gave him. He worked very hard each day and put a lot of effort and detail into making my stairs look really nice, and he gave a very fair price as well. I would recommend Larry for any home improvement needs

Great. Larry listen to what I wanted. Made some suggestions and we went from there. He was very professional and also very detailed He took his time and did the job right. Some of the staid were cracked and all were very noisy. Larry promised they would be very quiet when done. He kept that promise. The stairs are beautiful and very quiet. We highly recommend him and will use him again.

Mr DeVaux did an excellent job on the finish carpentry work, painting and staining on a stain glass window frame install in an existing wall. The mitered corners had no gaps. Even though the job requirements changed somewhat there were no additional charges. I plan to hire him again on additional projects.

Larry and Cheryl, of DeVaux Home Improvement, did a fabulous job with the painting and carpentry work on my 100 year old Craftsman Bungalow! It was a challenging feat which they had accomplished with a high level of professionalism. I plan to contract with DeVaux Home Improvement for other projects next year. I highly recommend them for their craftsmanship, their meticulous care and their dedication to quality work! - Roberta Ingemi of Wakefield, MA
