Excellent craftsmanship and super easy to work with. Very knowledgeable on all aspects of the job. Work included installation of new skylights, replacing shingles around the skylights, and repairing the water damage in the interior shoots. All work was completed ahead of schedule. Would definitely hire for future remodeling work!

Excellent! The previous homeowners had remodeled our kitchen years ago (new pretty custom cabinets, granite counter tops, etc.) but the back splash tile they chose was very dark & dated. The tile did not want to come off easily so Justin had to remove and replace the sheet rock. He did a fantastic job. The new tile (white subway tile) and grout really brighten the kitchen. He also sanded and sealed the wood around the kitchen window without me asking him to do so because he wanted everything to look nice :-) Looks great! Real game changer! He also installed some new pendants above our island. Lastly, he installed an outlet/cable box behind our TV so we wouldn't have cords hanging down. Again, he did an awesome job. Justin is super responsive and such a nice person to work with. Justin's nephew and dad also helped on this project. It's a wonderful family business. We have used Justin & Monette Decorating & Remodeling in the past and will definitely use them again !

Craftsmanship was excellent. Father and son are both perfectionists. They made heroic efforts at clearing out one room for work while moving all to other rooms.They were very clean. There were some delays in finishing the job, but the family even came over on Thanksgiving to get some work done. I receive many complements on their work.
Description of Work
Pulled up and replaced all carpeting and linoleum in kitchen, living-dining room, stairways and hallways. Installed wood flooring in all areas. Repainted kitchen, living room, dining room, windowsills, bathroom and bedroom. Tiled back splash and room divider with subway tiles. Built extra kitchen shelving.

Justin arrived on time. We had previously talked about installing a new fan and at that time I asked if he could put up some shades after he was done with the fan. He had to cut a slightly larger opening for the fan but got it installed in a timely fashion and then installed the two shades. As usual the bathroom was spotless when he finished cleaning up. We are always happy with the work done by Justin and his team. When we get the rest of the window treatments Justin will be back.

We had windows installed when we had siding put up. At the time of our appointment, Justin brought information on the types of windows he felt good about installing. The other thing we loved about working with Justin is that he never tried to sell us up to a more costly product, and we always felt good with our final decision. I was always so surprised about how fast the widows went in, and with 28 windows to put in I was impressed and so happy with our choice. With the installing they also painted all the inside wood trim. Everything looked perfect, and of course, they cleaned everything up-no muss or fuss. And while finishing up this project I mentioned a few small things that I'd like to get done and we set up another time to meet and get those things done. Again we would recommend Monette decorating and remodeling.

We had previous experience with Justin building a wheel chair ramp for my Mother-in-law and it was a no brainer to have him do this job for us.this job came around in a odd way, we brought Justin in to remodel the kitchen after our initial meeting I decided that I could live with the kitchen but not with our old siding and we changed directions. Justin and his project manager , Kristina, came on time prepared with sample the siding we had decided on and and then we discussed windows( that's another review). After measurements were taken another appointment with all the final price quotes we started. Justin and his crew were always on time if coming late they always called. They worked very efficiently and safe of course with the age of our house and siding they did find some wood rot and it was repaired properly. We did have days of rain when they couldn't work but they always seemed ahead of the game. Friends would ask how we liked their work and we couldn't have nicer things to say about their work ethics and the quality of their work. As I would tell neighbors who passed by that complimented on the work being done and quot; they do good work, they don't mess around and they clean up real good at the end of the dayand quot; . One of the other good things is that we stayed within our quote and he added the right amount of padding to cover all those unseen damages that we came across. From our work with Justin and our praise of his work he did get another job from one of our neighbors. Would we work with him again? Yes, he will always be our go to guy for any of our projects big and small.you can't go wrong with Monettes Decorating and Remodeling.

Justin is a very easy person to work with. His costs were in line with others. I hired his services because of his professionalism and the fact that he understood my needs and didn't try to upsell what I wanted done. He did the work we agreed on and even repaired some missing shingles we never discussed - at no charge. I found his office number worked the best for contacting him. He always promptly returned my calls.

Justin did a fantastic job on the threshold, and sliding glass door. The only problem i had was him keeping us in the loop on where things stood. It seemed we had to make the call to see where our status was. and it seemed to take longer than it should have to get the job done. we started this project in may and it was not done till early november.

Ok . But he does not call you back when you call him about something.
Description of Work
Justin does a good job as far as the work is concerned but he is terrible as far as calling you back if you leave a message with him. it also takes him forever to get the job done once he has the job. Would not use him unless you dont care how long it takes to do the job.

Called the company to schedule a visit to look at the project and get an estimate. I was told that I needed to wait atleat a month to get an appointment as they were very busy. I decided to wait based on the good reviews and the person I spoke to seemed very nice and professional.I waited a month for the appointment and no one showed up on the agreed date and date. No one even called, how unprofessional. I never received a call even the following day or week. I could have hired and probably completed my project by now. Will never even bother to consider them for any future projects.

this person lived next door to a long term client of ours. We were candid about the delay. By the time we were to come out. the work had been done. We knew this because of our clients next door. No reason for us to call them back. We KNEW they had already hired another. We never met these people and NEVER did any work for them.

Would not recommend them.
Description of Work
An appointment was set up to have Monette give me an estimate. I finally called them after waiting and was informed they were not coming. No phone call from them!! I was told should not have scheduled appt. so close and traffic. Either way, it means the company is unprofessional and does not know how to schedule.

We have NEVER had an unfavorable review. We have never met this person! And when we spoke, we were told by this potential client that they had many bids and to not worry about coming to their home. We at monette are sorry that they feel this way, but in no means do we deserve this review from someone we have never even met.

They always answered all my questions they also provided different ideas which I appreciate. They do quality work and they make sure you are happy with the finished product. They even took time to look at future projects and gave ideas and pricing.It has been a long time since I have worked with a company that really cares about the quality of their work and keeping their client satisfied. I would use this company again and would recommend them. Pricing was very fair.

My husband and I had pets that over the years had damaged areas in our home. Now that all of our and quot;babiesand quot; have passed away, we decided to get everything and quot;whipped back into shapeand quot;. I used Angie's List to locate handymen in our general area and discovered Monette's. We were very impressed with the work that Justin, his dad, and his cousin did for us. They were professional and patient and the work they did was EXCELLENT. If Justin decided that he wasn't happy with the way a stain looked on a particular piece of wood, he would take the piece back to the shop and work on it again. When we asked for suggestions on whether or not we should attempt a certain project, he was honest about giving us feedback. We were so pleased with the results of their work that we are already planning on our next set of projects for Justin and family. We can highly recommend them for their expertise and their integrity.
Description of Work
We had Monette do handyman work for us. We presented Justin with quite a list of "to-do's", such as: (1) Repair and paint two damaged doors; (2) Install a special security lock on the front door; (3) Repair and stain a damaged bathroom cabinet door; (4) Sand and stain a damaged portion of hardwood flooring; (5) Hang pictures; (6) Purchase and install 5 wire shelves in the mud room The list went on.

We have a railing between our kitchen and living room that was oak with white spindles (very unattractive two-tone look). We need this kind of divider between the rooms but I have been dying to make a change. Justin stained around 30 new spindles to match the railing and replaced the white ones. What a great improvement! He did a super job, as always. We have used Monette Decorating and Remodeling for a variety of jobs and we couldn't be more pleased with the results.

Vendor met on time and quickly. He was professional and seemed confident in his abilities. We chose another vendor that responded more quickly with a bid, however. I would consider contacting Monette again for a bid, but ensuring that we knew the timline for one to be completed.

Description of Work
I had a decorative wood piece that arced over my front door that was rotted through. Justin replaced it with a wood piece in the correct shape, size and color so that it fits perfectly. This new wood piece is also weather resistant unlike the first. The long winter postponed this project but Justin kept in constant contact with me. He was very professional and did excellent work.

We finished out our basement a few years ago but had a couple of lingering projects- - cover a hole where the fuse box is and construct a closet-like structure around our mechanicals. I called Justin Monette to tell him about these projects and a few others that I wanted to have done. He came right away and gave me a fair estimate. He showed me some photos of his work and we hired him to do the work. We couldn't be happier with the work he and his father completed. Justin matched the white paint in our kitchen cabinets to paint the wood molding on top. He replaced the white spindles in our stairwell with wood spindles stained to match the existing bannister. Justin fixed a hole in the wood floor in the kitchen. The best results were in the basement. The cabinet covering our fuse box area is perfect. Beautifully done and perfectly matches the rest of the wood in the basement. We never finished putting together a door around our mechanical area. A drywall frame was needed and then bifold doors needed to be hung. Justin did a great job of framing the area, doing the drywall, painting the drywall, and hanging the doors. It looks great! Justin and his dad do really quality work at a fair price. They are also very nice guys and a pleasure to work with. We look forward to using them again in the near future- - to build some cabinets in our kitchen. We highly recommend them!
Description of Work
They completed a few different remodeling projects for us... 1) Replaced wood spindles in our stairwell. 2) Painted the molding on our kitchen cabinets (matched the white in the cabinets) 3) Put up a dry wall frame & stained and hung bi-fold doors in front of our mechanicals in the basement. 4) Built a cabinet for a big hole in our basement- - where the fuse box is located. 5) Fixed a hole in the wood floor in our kitchen.

One of the recent projects we completed was a bonus room over our garage. Monette did excellent work and completed the project within our timeframe.
Description of Work
Monette has done work on our house off and on for at least 10 years. They are very trustworthy and do excellent work. We also completely trust them to be in our home when we are not there. I would highly recommend them. It is also nice that they have expertise in many areas of handiwork.

The project went very well, taking only a short time to complete. Also, after a short time, we realized that there was an occasional "glitch" with the drawer hardware, so we contacted Justin. He came over shortly afterward and installed a "glitch fix", and the drawer is perfect.
Description of Work
In our kitchen was a very old built-in dishwasher that we had never used, which we wanted to have removed and replaced with shelving and drawer for storage. We reviewed our overall wishes with Justin, who then prepared a rough plan. After a couple of plan modifications he prepared the building blocks in his home shop, then came to (a) remove and take to recycle the dishwasher, and (b) install the shelving and drawer.

I contacted Justin, and he was quite responsive to get us an estimate and allow us to order and pay for windows prior to the new year, so we could get an energy deduction in 2009. The windows took some time in manufacturing, but we were in no hurry. Justin came out when they were manufactured and installed them in short order. All went smoothly.

Description of Work
Justin and his assistant removed our expired over the range (1970's model) microwave unit and installed a recently purchased over the range microwave-convection model. It required some "on the spot carpentry adjustments", which they performed without issue. The whole job was professionally done, and they also took away the expired unit to the appliance bone-yard. He's a great person to interact with...we will next plan to remove an expired dishwasher and Justin will design and install cabinets in the open space left by the dishwasher...will report on that later.....you cannot do wrong if you hire Justin for your work.

Justin (along with Scott Dunn, “Nicely Dunn Handyman Services”) provided the entire wheelchair ramp package - from design, city permit, materials, etc., and, after design completion and materials procurement, completed the ramp over two and a half days of installation work, in time for the "imposed" deadline. What was especially impressive, and critical to timing, was Justin’s pre-framing work at his home shop, allowing a head start for the actual final fabrication. Justin’s skills, work ethic and professionalism exceeded any expectations that I had. Actually, I was sad to see them both go when the job was done. This year, in 2010, I hope again to procure Justin’s services for some other work at our house. Finally, in this world where we often here of horror stories related to home contract services, abandoned jobs, etc., and this being sort of my first experience in the area, it was gratifying and refreshing to meet and interact with Justin. I definitely recommend his services!
Description of Work
With my wife and I needing to take over care for my elderly, and handicapped, mother, we needed a wheelchair ramp designed, built and installed. Also, due to "family needs", a somewhat "strict" timetable was imposed.
