North Shore Builders used PVC framing and trim materials (definitely more expensive to use these materials, but they will last much longer than wood). Once the framing was complete and the windows were weather-tight, they shingled around both, using cedar shingles. Towards the end of the job, I asked Mark if he would replace a 2' section of facia/soffit that was also rotted, in addition to the work we had originally agreed upon. His workman quickly completed that & Mark was kind enough not to add any additional cost to my final price. The entire job was completed in a reasonable amount of time (over the course of a week or so -- I wasn't in a rush & he had workers doing several other jobs at the time, as well). The quality of the work was excellent. The worker(s) cleaned up after themselves each day & conducted themselves in a professional manner. Although the cost of the work was a bit on the high end when I priced the job out, I didn't regret paying it; I'd much rather be completely satisfied with the final result and not have to deal with any call-backs for sloppy or unfinished work. For critical jobs that require competent, professional workers, I would definitely recommend North Shore Builders.
Description of Work: I needed 2 exterior medium-sized double casement windows to be re-framed that had been improperly installed before I bought my home, and allowed water to seep in over time; the original framing around both windows had completely rotted & needed to be replaced. I also needed a 2ft section of facia/soffit to be replaced. I had a dumpster already on-site, due to other work that was being done prior to hiring North Shore Builders.

I requested a quote for a 203K Rehab Renovation, Mark showed up and check the work, and promise to give an official quote within 2 or 3 days, he never did , but I never got a response or quote, I tried to contact him several times, by phone, text message and email, he never responded. I just feel that was unprofessional, it's OK if you don't like to take the job , but don't let people waiting for a quote when you aren't interested at all.

Excellent! Deck turned out beautiful. The workers were all very nice, pleasant arrived on time and did their business. Deck & stone patio were done one year ago and so far so good. I would definitely use this company again. Two problems with azek decking that have nothing to do with the installation. Material doesn't dry - puddles will stay in it. I had to get a squeegee to get rid of the rain water. In the cold weather beware BLACK ICE will form easily. Keep lots of ice melt handy.
Description of Work: Back Deck demolished and new one built with azek decking. Stone patio installed next to deck.

Mark runs a great business. He's focused on customer satisfaction at a good price. The 2 men he assigned to do the bulk of the work were a grandfather/grandson duo and they did very good work. They were also polite and professional the whole time. Additionally, Mark's son did some finishing work on the deck and he was also great to work with. It took a little while to get started on the project - I think it was about 6-8 weeks from my initial contact with Mark before work actually began but that was because his teams were occupied on other jobs and I had to wait for them to free up. Once they started, they worked efficiently and made good progress. Overall, I'm very happy with the results and I will definitely look to engage North Shore Builders on future home projects. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking from someone to help with home construction projects.
Description of Work: Demolished the farmers porch down to the frame on my 1909 Colonial home and rebuilt porch with Azec decking, rails, and 4 steps. Also painted crown molding around ceiling and replaced damaged vinyl siding on porch side.

Mark was great at responding to my call. Provided a reasonable estimate and promise to do the job within a week. He followed through on his promise. Supervised two different workers, made adjustments at my request and got the job done on time. I like that he was willing to reuse existing boards that were still in good shape and that he is local and would be there if there were issues with the work.

Description of Work: Mark and his team did a fantastic job building our Farmers Porch. Mark was upfront with costs, and always on time. Mark's team, was respectful of space and so friendly. Even my neighbors liked Mark and his team. Anyone walking by the house is sure to stop and tell us how great the porch looks, and I refer North shore Builders to everyone who asks about it.

Description of Work: North Shore Builders took care of a number of problems I had with exterior trim and clapboard damage issues on my house that had developed over several years. They were very busy after the backlog created by the hard winter in the Boston area and it took a while for them to work this small job into their schedule. When they were able to able to come they completed the work quickly and I am very pleased with the quality of the work they did. I would definitely consider using them again.

They are good guys, they have proved to be reliable contractors. They go the extra mile in getting things the way you want it. They are not always the cheapest around, but they definitely do the job right. They show up when they're going to say, and they like to work early.

Description of Work: Not very punctual. The cost of painting the ceiling was $200.00. the contractor thought he could get away with just priming the location. He had to come back. Even with the return, the paint job was very amateurish. You can see where he cut the corners.

I interviewed many builders for this job and NS Builders stood out from the bunch; they were punctual, reasonably priced and had excellent references. They even took the time to drop by samples of materials for us to see and select from. The construction of the deck started on time and although there were several rainy days, the continued to worked under a tent to make sure the deck was built on time. We had some concerns with the bounciness of the deck and even though digging several more support pilons wasn't in the original quote, NS Builders did the right thing and installed them at no extra charge. We love our new deck and we know if there are any issues with it, the team at NS Builders will be there to make sure we are satisfied.
Description of Work: A brand new large deck was built using Aztek deck boards and with stairs into the backyard.

The work described above was done in multiple projects over that the past 2 years. Phil has been very responsive in providing an estimate after he examines a specific requirement. Several times when I felt the cost was more than I wanted to spend, he provided alternatives which, while not meeting everything we wanted, allowed us to get most of what we wanted for a price that was more affordable for us. For some of the work, we used an architect to provide ideas and plans which Phil implemented but for much of the work, he developed a solution and then did the work. When we first bought the house and had identified critical work that we wanted to do before moving in, I sought bids from three recommended contractors. Northshore builders was the only one to respond with a complete bid and was willing to start work quickly. For several other portions of the work, I did get third party bids but Phil's bid was always competitive so we continued to use him and his team.His crew are all good people who we have been willing to work in our house when we are not home. For the work not done directly by his team such as electrical and plumbing, the local contractors used by Phil have also been very good people and reliable.
Description of Work: Over the past 26 months, from September 2010 through November 2012, Phil Madden, one of the partners who operate North Shore Builders, has provided general contracting and construction services as we have renovated and upgraded our 1898 house and cottage. Projects have included: Installation of 10 replacement windows, installation of 4 new windows. Renovation of 2 bathrooms in house and construction of new bathroom in cottage. New floating floor in cottage. Addition of foundation under portion of house which lacked foundation. Replace exterior stairs. Set up new water & sewage lines to cottage. Added new cabinets and pantry to kitchen Removed chimney. Removed 3 leaking skylights and replace the roof where they were. Added new rubber roof to cottage. Note that spending noted above is a total for some of the projects.
