"Bob is so easy to work with. He quickly gave a reasonable quote and came to install my new ducted range hood within a week and completed the job in couple of hours. He and his brother were just pros. It’s also very convenient that you can pay him with a credit card. I highly recommend Bob for your home projects. I’ll definitely keep him mind for my future home projects."
"The job went well, very brief and surprisingly inexpensive. (I understand everyone has to live, so I expected to pay for a livelihood, but I was delighted to have my wallet only lightly crimped.) Bertie Walsh arrived around the agreed time. I gave him the two grab bars the VA decided I needed in my bathing area, an old retired vet in a wheelchair, like me. I live alone, in a condo, so I needed a handyman to install them. I'm glad I had a professional person install them because, even if I were fit, I surely would have botched the job. This place was cut up into condos in 1987. It used to be just a red brick factory-- originally constructed around the turn of the 20th century to work with Brockton by making those metal lacing eyelets for boots. They used metal--not plywood--when they cut the factory into apartments like mine (Bertie Walsh later explained to me). If I were doing the job myself I would have been expecting wooden studs behind the tile--which would have been full of exploratory holes when I got done. So, I pointed to the bathroom, assured myself that Bertie Walsh had all he needed, and went to finish watching the program I had on, wondering what I had to offer Mr. Walsh when he broke for lunch soon. How pleased I was when that time arrived and he said the job was done and that I only owed him $50! Bertie Walsh explained to me that the grab bars were firm, but that he had to install them in the metal. Should they loosen, over time, do not risk injury, by all means call him.

"Bill Perry was a pleasure to work with - we wouldn't hesitate to hire Perry Brothers again for other projects. Bill provided great advice on our remodel and had thoughtful suggestions that improved the final bathroom design and functionality. Bill's employees were unfailingly polite and always willing to answer questions and share daily progress and next-steps in the work flow. There was a hiccup with the plaster sub-contractor but that was not a reflection on Perry Bros. Almost a year after project completion and we're still extremely satisfied with the work completed."
"I hired Jeff to take out my old, leaky, fiber glass shower and install a new tile and glass enclosure. Jeff was very responsive, reliable and always available for questions. He coordinated the contractors including plumbers, tilers and glass installers and kept the work moving forward. The work was professional and very well executed. His pricing was very fair with no surprises. I absolutely love my new shower."
"Fantastic job. From beginning with the estimate to finishing up the installation of the new lawn everything went smoothly. Aurelio and his assistant returned the next morning in the snow to complete the last section of lawn. A true professional goes that extra mile for his customers."
"We hired John to repair our master bathroom. There was rot and ants behind the walk-in shower as well as some mold and damage to one of the wall boards and some floor tile damage. We decided to remove the shower and make it a 1/2 bath instead since the room was a little too small to begin with. John and his subcontractors were prompt, on time, and on budget. He did an amazing job matching up the flooring, eliminating the shower, and installing a linen closet it its place. The entire job, from demo through finish, took them less than a week and it came out perfectly. I'm very happy with the results and would hire John and team again in a heartbeat."
"Ramy was pleasant to work with, professional, polite and an excellent craftsman. He was helpful in sharing his design ideas and also was a good listener. He installed the flooring and wall tile just as we wanted. Everything was done in a timely manner and all the work was either performed or supervised by Ramy himself. We are very pleased with his work."
"I scheduled the service for a Sat morning which was convenient. They arrived about 10 minutes early which was good for me. I had one shingle that was cupping and they fixed that. I had some new bath fan vents that were installed a couple months ago. They noticed that they weren't sealed very well so they added some sealant to those. I had this old ugly antenna on the roof and I asked them about taking it down. He removed it for no extra charge and sealed up the 4 holes that it left behind. They took pictures of everything and showed me all the pictures at the end. My roof is 18 years old and I was expecting them to maybe try and sell me a new one, but they didn't and just told me the roof was fine and I should get a few more years out of it. That was nice to hear. I was very happy with the visit. Going up on the roof isn't something I'm interested in doing. "
