"Platinum Carpentry was great to work with. The owner Dean is a very nice guy and easy to work with. The quality of his work is outstanding. We were out of town when the project was scheduled to start and Dean kept us updated on the progress and a few delays that were encountered due to weather, etc. We are very pleased with how the deck turned out and we would not hesitate to hire Dean and his crew again for future projects."

"This was one of Angie's special deals. The company did a good job, but
my complaint is that we called them countless times to schedule an
appt. and even though we were told someone would get back to us, no one ever called us back.  My husband came home one day
after months of calling and the team was there doing the job.  I
understand that these deals are popular, but it would have been nice to
at least have received a group email explaining the situation instead of
leaving us hanging not knowing if they would ever come.  Another
company we used for a special deal (gutter cleaning) sent out an email
explaining they were doing houses in groups according to location and
you should contact them if you needed to be home when they arrived.

"It went well! I expected it to take a long time to get it picked up, but I called for the bag to be emptied on Friday and they were here Saturday! I am already filling it up again. (We have a MESS from the storm and need to finish the kitchen before this weekend's company coming in from out of town.) I have already called them to request my bag be emptied on Friday, and they have me on the schedule! I can't believe the customer service is so great! This is not a regular dumpster company. I have a dumpster delivered last summer and they gouged my driveway. What a nightmare it was to get them to pay for the driveway to be fixed. NEVER AGAIN! It's BullBag only for our future needs."

"The back splash is gorgeous!  (Let me give a shout out to Lynne at Best Tile in Dedham for her help in the tile selection.)
I signed up for an Angie's list back splash tiling deal. I didn't quite understand the intricacies of choosing tile and installing it.  I picked a somewhat elaborate pattern with natural stone tiles. I wanted what I wanted, and Brian and Sam worked with me to get the result and I agreed to pay a supplement to the big deal which I found very fair.
I appreciated that they consulted me if they had any questions about exactly what I wanted (e.g. precisely where to put the medicine cabinets, how to finish the tile where it ended at the edge of wall). I'm happy with these solutions.  They also came up with some very creative solutions around the kitchen window that really enhance the tile work. 
We discussed the merits of fully replacing the staircase vs saving the wood that was discolored but generally in good condition.  Overall, the cost was the same, but I appreciate the option to send less building materials to landfill and get a good result.
They were going to install the fireplace granite tile, and they ultimately did not do this as their specialty is in smaller ceramic tiles, and the 24" x 24" stone tiles I purchased needed equipment they don't have.  I really appreciated discussing this.  I think it will be much easier to have someone who specializes in stone to complete this part of the job because Sam did all the hard prep work.
I feel that the team was generally very conscientious about cleaning up after themselves. The only thing I wish I would have done is draped my furniture and made sure various doors were closed - it's a much bigger clean up job than I expected, and I might have been able to avoid some of it.  On the plus side, that part of the house has undergone an early spring cleaning!  And I know that half of the dirt preceded this project.
The project was completed exactly when promised, with allowance for a snowstorm at the start. I gave a B for punctuality because I did get up early to make sure the snow was cleared from the driveway and they arrived later than planned.  I have had the experience more than once that contractors don't show up for days, so an hour or two is a small matter for me, but I note it because if you needed to get to work yourself or something like that, you would probably want to be sure to have a clear agreement.
I look forward to another project with A Few Good Tradesmen.

"Began project on time, finished on time (working around weather issues), thoroughly explained every step of the process and came in close to budget. Tom and Brad are very personable, work very hard and clearly know what they are doing.

"Pro Performance Construction was the contractor used by my window supplier to replace and install all new custom windows and doors in my house. The quality of work and attention to detail was outstanding. The project leader in particular paid very close attention to the leveling and glide resistance to the large patio doors, taking the time required (on a fixed-price contract) to make sure that the travel and resistance of the sliding doors was perfect and to spec. The team even went above and beyond the scope of the contract (at no cost) to repair cedar siding that was compromised (unrelated to the installation) outside of the area of the windows. PPC's owner/operator is hard worker and true to his word. He maintains excellent relationships with other high-quality trade professionals which he is able to bring into jobs quickly and independently. I am very happy with PPC's work on my own house and will engage his team on additional projects. I highly recommend PPC for repair, remodel, and construction jobs."

"Sturdy Home Improvement did a great job from start to finish. They came prepared on day one and exceeded my expectations. They had the job done two days ahead of schedule and stayed right on budget. These are the guys to hire when remodeling your home.
