At the end of the work day, we saw that they had not correctly re-installed the fireplace insert (it was noticeably out of place) and had severely scratched the side paneling. They left without explaining the condition in which they were leaving things. After a few days, we had to call to see when they were coming back to finish the job. The second time, the company sent the original guys (who had previously done the inspection) to finish the job. It was clear that these guys knew more. One of them commented that it would take him longer than anticipated due to the condition that the other guys had left things in. The fireplace insert, this time, was correctly placed back in. However, instead of addressing the scratches on the side paneling, the guys just turned it around. They didn't tell us that this is how they "fixed" the problem. Good thing we noticed. We called to complain. Our interactions with the company owner by phone so far have been positive, as he offered to give us a 10% discount and sent a guy over on the same day to paint the scratches (though we weren't told by phone that he was coming - luckily one of us happened to be home).

For five or six weeks, we met for an hour or so to review drawings that he had prepared and discuss various elements of the design. It was clear to me that Peter understood our multiple goals, including our desire for the kitchen/ family room space to be in sync with the traditional quality of the rest of the house, and he was very helpful in suggesting simple and thoughtful design ideas that proved to be wonderful additions to the space. For example, Peter suggested that we use beadboard below a set of cabinets in a pantry area. He also suggested that we use divided light barn sash doors on a set of cabinets in this space - a cost effective approach (as opposed to custom doors) that created a beautiful space. His drawings were excellent, and allowed us to think through all the details - size and placement of appliances, cabinets, drawers, etc. Peter has a great design sense.
Peter's crew began work in the summer of 2010. They first relocated us to a differnet part of the house and installed a temporary, but very functional kitchen. Peter's crew was super considerate and a pleasure to see every day - we had a 2 year old (who loved chatting with the crew members) and a newborn baby, and throughout the entire project never experience any dust or other problems. The work proceeded steadily and it was clear that Peter's crew and the subcontractors had all worked together and there were very few delays during the demolation, structural and framing parts of the job.
As we moved into more of the finish work, there were a occasions where i had some concerns about one thing or another - in some cases stemming from decisions that were made on things i would have liked to have reviewed in advance (it should be noted, however, that I am extremely detail oriented; many clients might not have wanted to engage with Peter on these decisions). Some examples include the style of sidelights that were ordered and installed next to our entry way door, the spacing and location of cannister lights in the kitchen, and the grain pattern and quality of the white oak used on our main countertop. In every case, I raised the concern with Peter and the concerns were addressed. In fact, Peter was consistently gracious in his willingness to both acknowledge concerns or problems and take responsibility for fixing them to our satisfaction. I also know that Peter and crew made hundreds of excellent decisions throughout the project, many of which i did not even notice becuase they worked out so well. I believe that challenges in a project of this size and scope should be expected, especially if the homeowner wishes to be engaged in the design process, but the imporant thing is to feel comfortable working through any issues with professionalism and good communication, and that is what we experienced with Peter.
Peter hires and retains excellent people - his carpenters are efficient, practical, and very good craftsment. The same can be said for the trade contractors that Peter engages.
I highly recommend Peter French. We expect to hire him again and again as we renovate other parts of our house. Perhaps the best thing I can say about Peter French is that since the time his crew left our house , I have not had to call Peter to come back to repair redo or anything, though i have no doubt that he would have done so if there were any problems that needed to be fixed. We have enjoyed our kitchen, family room, and other spaces every day since!"},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/vt/norwich/peter-french-fine-woodwork-reviews-5695985.htm"},"position":5},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"Clear Choice Home Improvements","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"NH","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Ethan B."},"reviewBody":"Had gutters installed with them about 3 -4 years ago but developed problems with the leaf guards (design issue).

The sales staff was helpful but not pushy. The dishwasher arrived slightly behind schedule, which Dead River said was due to their supplier. Installation went as expected. However when the installers left, we noticed the dishwasher door panel hung noticeably crooked. I called Dead River and sent photos. After some discussion, they agreed to send installers over to check it out \"next time they were in the area.\" The installers came by and said they noticed some of the display models on their floor had crooked doors, so as far as they were concerned, that was normal. I ended up calling Miele. Miele told me Dead River are not certified Miele technicians (they are certified as installers only). Miele sent out their own technician to take a look. He was helpful and said the door is a known design issue which hasn't been resolved, but doesn't interfere with functionality. He gave me the option of returning the dishwasher, but I chose to keep it. One important detail. The Miele technician told us that the Dead River installers had forgotten to tighten the door, an important part of the installation. The door \"slammed down\" when you opened it -- a safety risk for small children. The Miele technician tightened the door for us. He asked us to call Dead River and notify them of the error, so they wouldn't repeat it with the next customer. When I called Dead River to let them know, the manager got defensive. That was disappointing. On the positive side, there were no hard-sales tactics, and no \"hidden charges.\" Therefore I'd give Dead River an A for sales honesty, a low-B for willingness/ability to deal with issues after the purchase is complete, and a B for product quality. I think that's fairly good for an appliance store."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/vt/woodstock/dead-river-co-reviews-4513967.htm"},"position":10}]}

FAQs for residential design projects in Hanover, NH
One starting point to find a local home builder is to collect suggestions from friends and neighbors. However, it’s still wise to do some more research before you hire a builder. Read reviews to supplement any word-of-mouth recommendations. Check sources like Angi that have standards and criteria in place to screen the pros it lists can also help you find more reputable local home builders.
The cost of home remodeling is $50,000 for the average homeowner. However, this cost can range anywhere from $3,000 for a small projectto $170,000 for a whole home remodel. Factors like project size, location, and room type all affect your overall cost. For example, bedroom remodeling costs are one of the least expensive projects, costing about $1,500 to $5,500 per bedroom. However, a kitchen remodel has a significant cost range, totaling anywhere from $14,500 to over $70,000.
Typically, it’s more affordable to buy an existing home than it is to build a new one. New construction loan interest rates tend to be higher than interest rates for traditional mortgages. Additionally, the cost of materials is likely higher when building a new home than it was when an existing home was built (unless it’s a very new one). You’re also paying for all new appliances, finishes, permits, inspections, and connections for water, gas, and electricity.
Yes, most states require home remodeling contractors to be licensed, and for good reason. Hiring an unlicensed home remodeling contractor could lead to poor quality work, costly future expenses, and potential code violations.
As you browse our pro listings, take note of the “Angi Approved” badge. Angi Approved businesses meet our standards for certification which include:
The owner, principal, or relevant manager passed a criminal background check
Required to have applicable state and local licenses
Maintain an average star rating of 3.0 or better on our network, if they have at least one review
Paying to advertise their services
Meeting any other eligibility criteria required by Angi
Keep in mind licensing is different from certifications. A license is a legal requirement to operate a business, while certifications are voluntary.
The best time of year to remodel your home is late winter and early spring when fewer homeowners are thinking about projects and pros are more available. Also consider the type of remodel you want and plan ahead as much as possible. For example, the summer is a great time of year to update your fireplace, but winter is a better option for fixing foundations and building room additions.
