"This is the 4th time I have hired SILMAC for a project, and this was the largest job by far - a full gut renovation of my kitchen, adding a powder room, and putting on an addition with a laundry/mudroom. I’m so pleased with how everything turned out - it is truly the space I had dreamed about when I bought the house! Joe and his crew are extremely reliable and responsive. It’s inevitable that bumps in the road will arise during a large renovation like this, especially in an old house, but Joe was proactive in addressing them and always kept me informed. His level of service truly stands out! It doesn’t surprise me that he has over 200 reviews and nearly a 5 star rating - he is that good! You will not be disappointed hiring SILMAC for your next project."

"this was an Angie's List special for roof inspection and minor repair after a brutal Boston Winter. We had substantial water damage from water leakage through skylights and I was concerned about damage to the wood under the skylights, trying to figure out what had happened and what needed to be done.  Matt communicated easily by e-mail, was very prompt in responding, and provided a photograph of the improper installation done by the builder.  He provided a contract with options of what could be done promptly.  The only ding is that he didn't comment on missing shingles on the roof "

"I have worked with different contractors before but Richard is on a different level. I do not usually write review but in this case I feel obligated to write one given how wonderful he was. Not only was he hardworking, he was kind and would go to any length to make sure the needs of his clients are met. Our work with Richard started last March, we wanted an extra space for guests and the initial plan was to finish a room on top of our garage. Given my bad experiences with previous projects, I wanted to be careful in choosing a contractor. So I came on Angie’s list and was reading through different reviews for different contractors. When I got Richard’s, I liked all the reviews but what really got me hooked was the single negative review on his profile. I read through Richard’s rebuttal and knew right away we found the right person. I appreciated how he explained in details (without being defensive or sounding angry) what the issues with that project were. I reached out to him immediately and even though he was on vacation with his wonderful wife (who I later met) he responded right away and we were able to fix a time to meet. He met with me and my husband at the house and he explained in full details how he works from designing down to completion of the project. We explained to him what we wanted and he promised to give us a quote in few day which he did. Given how much the initial project was going to cost, Richard suggested that it would be cost effective to finish the basement instead. And thank God we took his advice, now not only do we have an extra room for our guest, we also have an extra living area and an extra bathroom. Richard carried us along all every step of the way, he was always asking for our opinions and always making sure that our needs were met. From design, to permit (which required multiple visit to the city hall), to hiring sub-contractors, I never for once had any regrets. We had few bumps on the road, but Richard was there to calm our anxiety and to provide solutions. Cost was well willing our budget. I have never seen anyone worked so hard for his client. This man worked harder than any 30 year-old around. We are very happy with the final product and would definitely hire him again. As I have told him jokingly that I hope he does not retire any time soon."

"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."

"D&R did a great job on all of our projects. The materials used were top-notch, and the work was done quickly and professionally. They are quick with estimates and go the extra mile to answer any questions you may have. I will definitely hire D&R for future home projects."

"Vinny is a fantastic contractor to work with. I have had Vinny work on multiple renovation projects at our home over the last year and half, and have had nothing but positive experience. He is humble, very professional, responsive, no shortcuts, hard working, and perfection in every work he does. He is punctual and prompt on his schedule. He has a great network of contacts for other trades (plumbing, electrical, plastering, hvac, you name it) and helps identify the right people to use for the job. Based on my experience, every single one of them that came with his recommendation were great to work with. I would absolutely recommend Vinny and VC Construction for any home renovation projects, and would not hesitate a bit to hire him for any future projects."

"Scott was very prompt and courteous in setting up our appointment, walking through our basement space with us, and then providing a plan and estimate for the work.  We knew exactly what we wanted to do with the space, and from our discussion on that and the measurements he took, Scott created a drawing that represented exactly what we envisioned.  He did a great job with everything and I had every confidence he could do the project well, but in the end his price was a fair bit higher than other quotes so we ended up going with another contractor.

"Excellent! We hired Sanfer and his team after meeting with him a few times and checking references. We really liked his can-do attitude and flexibility. He was easy to talk to and had some design ideas that we chose over the architects. He is a strong builder, meaning he doesnt skimp on making it well made. That was important to me. He has a really great finish carpenter too. Shout out to Edgard! Our remodel was a 4 room, bathroom, 2 floor addition (now a walk out basement/first floor) to accommodate an inlaw apt on the ground floor and office and living room on the first. We also had a small elevator added between the two floors. The pricing was right down the middle compared to others. The elevator installers remarked that the hoistway was the best built they had worked with, which was important since it needed to be within a quarter inch of plumb at any point. We used Sanfer for other smaller add ons and would hire them again for a large or smaller job."

"We couldn’t have had a better experience. From the start...even before we made a decision to hire HS plastering and painting, Humberto gave us a detailed quote and answered all of our questions. He was punctual and professional and he made sure all our questions were answered. We wanted to have the painting done before the holidays and he made sure our schedule was honored. When it came time for the work to start, all of the workers were as respectful to my home as Humberto was. Every inch of my flooring and furnishings were protected and when they were finished at the end of the day, their materials were neatly stored in the designated area In my garage. In addition they made certain we had access to our kitchen area so we had coffee in the morning. The work was impeccable. Attention to detail and ensuring my home was clean each night ensured the experience was something I would recommend. My home is beautiful and when they left there was no dust anywhere in my home. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND them"

"This project went very well. It was done in a timely manner and on time. The workers were very nice as well. I would hire them again."
