"We hired RN Construction to help us renovate a very old house we purchased that had suffered major water damage from burst pipes the winter prior. I didn't know anything about RN Construction before finding him on Home Advisor and hiring him but I called a few of his references, which he gladly provided. I wish there had been a rewiew or 2 posted on Home Advisor as that would have increased my confidence coming into the project but Ron quickly earned my trust. I had a good gut feeling when I met him, and Ron always did exactly what he said he was going to do. Before the purchase Ron came with me to look at the property to assess the condition of the structure. We determined it was structurally sound and well worth the investment it would take to bring this house back to life. Ron, with the help of his recommended electrician and plumber all came to look at the house before we made an offer so that I could determine the likely cost of the renovation. Now it's a renovation and there were of course surprises and additional work we wanted done that bumped costs up but that is to be expected. A good rule of thumb is to take your estimate and multiply it by 1.5 with any project. This was no exception but when I do the math on the amount of hours and people on the crew who were here working hard every day, not to mention materials, I can tell you with confidence that we paid a very fair price for the work that was done. This was an older house built in 1742 with a lot of character that we wanted to preserve. My husband, 8 1/2 year old daugher, and I lived in the house while it was being renovated. If you have to spend 7 months of your life with a crew, I really can't imagine a better one to have around. They have a great camaraderie and are always courteous and helpful. Ron was always a phone call away whenever I needed him or had a question and was incredibly accomodating on all of our requests. The quality of work is top notch. Ron has decades of experience and has trained his crew well. Due to this being such an old house there were a lot of crooked floors and walls to deal with, which made this a complex project but looking around the house now you'd never know it suffered any damage at all. Ron and his crew really brought it back to its former glory and then some. We began the project in September of renovating this main house and also a guest house. Ron had estimated that we'd be done by late March or early April. It's March 31st and they are wrapping up the last few details here. My two pieces of advice are 1) if you're extremely fussy about materials (as I am) then do be sure to work with Ron to pick them out. And 2) treat Ron and his crew with respect. They deserve it and will return it. We feel very lucky to have found RN Construction. They will remain our goto crew for any future projects."

"The project went really well. The builder communicated clearly at each step of the way and was open to substitutions. We opted for a different brand of decking besides what they usually use and our requests were nicely accommodated. The workers came when they said they would and completed the project on-time and left our property as they found it. The porch and deck look awesome! I would highly recommend this builder for decking projects. We are very satisfied."

"They did a great job - were quick to call and schedule, arrived on time and worked fast, and offered to also do the garage for a little extra money.  All of the "gunk" they took out of the gutters was taken away.

"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.
