"Hired Modern House Construction to renovate a 1975 Mobile Home Total Spent $115,000 The dripping noise behind the wall in the bathroom pushed me to write this review. No one can tell where it’s coming from. ( Was told he’d come back if i noticed water marks) I feel as if I did not get my moneys worth from this project based on recent remodels and less money paid for projects in the same area. Asked for 5 things out of this whole project and it was not met - Expand first bedroom by an extra foot into the living room, bedroom is actually smaller now - Ceiling fan in kitchen to remain(removed) - Wrong color siding, given dark blue when it was supposed to be teal - New subfloors now floors are pushing up and sagging. - Awning to remain over door (removed) - Spent an estimated $6,000 in housing costs due to delays. - Bad Workmanship issues - Hole left below side of roof for weeks while rain water from the run off poured in. Was told it was ok but that’s not ok - Replaced a piece of skirting with heavy wood right where waterline comes in from the city. Keeps falling off which gives potential for pipes to freeze if not checked daily. Skirting was fine beforehand. - Some baseboard heaters and wood that goes along the bottom of the wall left out all summer repetitively rained on and sun dried - All new baseboard heaters were bought, stacked inside house, and i thought they were going to be put in. Later figured out they tested the ones out in the rain all summer and decided to put the ones that worked back in - Electrical outlet on neighbors side of house put in. Went through three replacements until i asked for it to be sealed up. Now floor on other side is pushing up. Told Udson nothing was done. - Cheapest shower and pan put in. Pan kept making cracking noises that echoed throughout the whole house. Needed repairs twice and still making a quiet cracking noise. - Light fixture removed from window above sink. Small hole for wiring left and not patched - Extremely poor communication with Udson who was on site - Improper siding installation (missing piece under back steps pieces forced in and now pushing out) - 05/27 job estimate given and approved for $99,438.21 05/30 goes and does drawing plans 06/05 official contract signed for job check given for 67,880.77 Between this time there were HOA delays due to wrongly worded letters 06/08-06/19 this long to figure out windows for permit 07/13 permits secured 07/17 was told demo was going to start this week 07/26 messaged udson no demo has started yet 07/28 demo stated to start tomorrow 07/29-07/30 demo complete 08/01 asked to have a colored siding, approved at no additional cost but was sent an estimate for more work for rear bedroom frame rot.

"Hats off to Regi and the crew of Third Art Painting. From beginning to end (job took approx 10 days) these guys worked tirelessly power washing, replacing lots rotting wood, reglazing in places, and of course, painting. Always communicative and considerate, as well as true to the quoted price even after unanticipated carpentry. And the quoted price was very reasonable (chosen out of a pool of three other estimates). The written contract was clear and comprehensive. And their attention to detail was spectacular. If you need carpentry and or painting give these guys a call. Company is out of Framingham.
