Get matched with top subcontractors in Hyde Park, MA

"WR Builders Inc. was a pleasure to work with on our home addition project. The team was professional, reliable, and the quality of the work was excellent. They completed the project on time, and the final result exceeded our expectations. We highly recommend them for any construction needs."

"Bob did a great job installing the two exhaust hoods I needed done."

"Matt and his crew were extremely professional. Prior to building the actual room, they were very upfront about our options within our price range. They never tried to “up sell” us, and truly listened to what we wanted to get from an additional bedroom. The team was in constant communication with us in regards to time and days they would be working, and if there was ever a day they would not be on site, we knew ahead of time. We were even set back a few days due to rain, and the team came on the weekend to make up time. Throughout the process they were honest about cost, and additional things that were going to have to increase our original price. When the room was completed, originally for our teenage son, we loved it so much we moved in for ourselves! Overall we were extremely pleased with the whole process. We love our new room!"

"Lucas & Tiago did an amazing job. They are skilled carpenters who were easy to communicate with and made intelligent suggestions for implementing our unique stairway handrail design. Their work was speedy, efficient, and of the highest quality. Also they meticulously cleaned up after they finished. We could not be happier."

"Mavridis Contracting offers excellent workmanship, customer service, and professionalism. They take pride in their work. I've been working with them for many years and I would highly recommend them!"

"The work took much longer than expected (4 months) and we ran right down to the max on what our home owner's insurance would allow for us to be put up in a hotel. D & R worked to fit us in around a lot of other jobs and this made it difficult to get much done quickly or more than 1-day per week of work in. One subcontractor was unprofessional and refused to do work he had agreed to causing us a 3-week delay. D & R was open with communication of setbacks or concerns, which we appreciated, and eventually replaced the subcontractor. Overall I am happy with the work. Some small details might be improved in the finish work. For example, there are some small lumps in some drywall patches that the painters might have finished better and one section of ceiling paint that did not match the rest of the ceiling. The flooring was replaced on the entire second floor (apx. 800 sq feet) and they did a great job with this especially considering they had all the furniture to contend with while they did the work. They provide a guarantee for a year for their work. The owner is responsive to contacts and pleasant. I would hire them again."

"This project took a few twists and Gil stayed with us through it all. What started out as a simple idea became much more involved when we discovered our roof had to be re-framed to shore it up before we could vault the ceilings. He even helped line up an engineer who did quick work in drawing up revised plans at a reasonable cost. Gil's team and his subcontractors were hardworking, pleasant to work with, and did quality work. Texting and talking by phone proved to be a better way to stay in touch with Gil than detailed e-mails. We're very happy with the finished product, and would definitely hire them again."

"DiOrio Builders & Designers has been excellent to work with on several projects around our 1890s colonial home in Boston. Over the last few years, they have painted the interior of our house, installed hardwood flooring, rebuilt our front porch, installed French drains in the back, reinforced and repointed our granite foundation, rebuilt our kitchen floor and tiled it, and installed numerous lights and a range hood. The quality of work is top-notch and they were great to work with. Pricing was fair, communication was professional and timelines were met. I recommend them to all my friends."

"The most important part of a remodeling project is your contractor. It is the contractor that determines how smoothly the project goes and how pleased you will be when it is finished. Liam Neary is the contractor I would want to work with again. We actually enjoyed the remodeling process because of Liam. Liam was very attentive to all our concerns throughout the project. All work performed by Liam himself was exceptional. He is neat, prompt, and organized with a-plus communication. Liam is honest, congenial and eager to please. Subcontractor work occasionally did not rise up to Liam's standards. Whenever we pointed these minor details out, Liam always rectified the issues. We love our new kitchen!"

"We had a fantastic job done by Edian Langa and his crew of Alexis Remodeling. Back in spring 2017, we came out to our back porches and found that over winter, the center post had rotted at one of the splices, right between 1st and 2nd floor decks and the 2nd and 3rd floor decks were badly sagging, like a hammock. I put in a couple posts to shore things up and keep them from further dropping. We had a few contractors take a look over the next couple months and give quotes. One said $80,000, another said $65,000, and another said $50,000. The very high estimates were, while shocking, not that unreasonable because we're on a hill and from the front of the house to the back, we drop 2 whole floors, about 18 feet. So it's about 50 feet from ground level at the back up to the roof of the 3rd floor deck. Also there wasn't really any way to get a bucket machine back there to make pulling the porch apart safer. And there were a couple trees back there too close to the porches. Edian looked at it as well and, initially, looking up at it from the ground, gave a quote of $35,000-$40,000, but as we walked up the stairs for a closer look at each deck, he withdrew his quote and said he wouldn't want to give a quote without seeing some plans from a structural engineer. He gave me a name of someone he'd worked with. We dithered for a while about what to do, and finally decided to have the plans done by the guy that Edian had recommended. We liked the guy because he agreed to put together some plans that would allow us to keep the first floor deck which was in mostly decent shape as well as the outer posts, which would save us some money and to keep the roof over the third floor deck (which extended from the main roof). The plans came back and they were a little complicated and we just didn't go much further from that. One other thing we looked into was how much it would cost to just tear down all but the first floor deck. We got an estimate of I think $8,000 for that from a demolition company. Zoning was an issue and we were worried if we removed the porches we'd lose the right to rebuild them as-is, given that setback requirements (distance from neighbor's property line to our building structure) were certainly much different than when our home was built in 1914. Also we'd been told at the Boston Building Dept that our three-decker home was in a neighborhood that was zoned for 1- and 2-family homes and as such anything we would do to it would be automatically denied and have to go through the Appeals Board. Money overall was also an issue, because, before discovering the failing porches, our plan was to replace our leaking tar and gravel roof. We had enough in a home equity line to do one or the other, but not quite for both the roof and the porches. And since the roof extended over and tied into the porch posts, we couldn't really do one without getting involved with the other. So we were in a quandary and ended up doing nothing for actually another year. Porches were worrisome, but stayed put. Roof continued leaking and we put buckets out. Then one day, I believe it was July, in 2018, we came home to a constable-served citation from Boston Building Dept taped to the door saying we'd done some work without a permit and needed to get one within 30 days. So, things had come to a head. Since we still had the plans that Edian's structural engineer had drawn up in summer 2017, I gave Edian a call and explained the situation. He remembered our porches. He let me track him down at the job he was working on and interrupt him to look at the engineer's plans as well as the citation. He called his lead carpenter, Fernando, over to have a look as well, said, "we've got to help her out with this," and they both conferred and Edian committed then to help us make our 30-day deadline with the city. I made myself as available to him as I could but he pretty much took the lead in dealing with the city, which was a super relief to us. Right off the bat, I knew I was dealing with a guy who was going to help us get through what had become a really difficult situation. He worked up a contract and we got our permit before the deadline, so the city was off our backs. He estimated the job at $55,000 and thought he could start on it in early October 2018. He did start the job then and worked on it continuously right to the finish, that is, wasn't hopping off to other jobs. No, Edian himself was there working with his crew every day. That's a good contractor to have, on the job himself every day. And, this was a very difficult, pain-in-the-butt job to pull off -- up and down the hill with every piece of lumber, pressure treated 6x6's, all the debris, etc. Turned out we needed to replace the outer posts as well as the center post, so the final cost went up to $58,000, but we pretty much expected that would happen and it wasn't a huge extra amount. Edian projected the job would take about 7 weeks and that's just about when he finished up, about the 3rd week of November 2018. Now, back to the roof, which as noted earlier, does extend over the 3rd floor porch. Miraculously, Edian managed to get his roofing subcontractor, to squeeze us in on the Saturday before Thanksgiving. It had snowed just a few days earlier that week, but Saturday turned out to be just a bit above 40 degrees and the roofers said they could do the job. In one day, starting at 7:00am and finishing at 4:30pm, Edian's roofers, about 15 or so guys, tore off our whole flat roof, which was nasty coal tar pitch and gravel, replaced some roof decking that was rotted, and reroofed it all with a new rubber roof, aluminum flashing, and sealed the various roof penetrations. Job well done! Reasonable price too for the roof -- $18,000. (We managed to scrape up the money.) We really lucked out hiring Alexis Remodeling for our jobs. Edian is a great guy and has very good people working for him. We're really thankful to him for all his help. Bravo!"
