Paris Brothers Construction

This is the second job Paris Brothers has done at my house and it was another excellent experience. There was a wood-eating insect situation that couldn't wait being addressed, so even though I called at the height of the busy summer construction period on a relatively small job, Andy fit this work in between his other larger projects. As with the last job he did at my house, the guys he sent were skilled and professional.

Everything went smoothly from start to finish, and the site was always kept clean and neat. Andy and Bill put up a plastic barrier with a zipper when they were working with drywall so dust would not infiltrate the house. Great idea!
Bill and Andy's father also came to my house to work on two projects. The Paris Brothers learned their trade at their father's knee, and was he a great teacher! Like his sons, he impressed me with his skills, efficiency, and warmth. When I needed to hire someone to replace the mud sill, he helped me interview those experts.
I can't emphasize enough how much Paris Brothers Construction helped me finish and correct issues in my house after a really awful contractor. They renewed my faith in their profession. And they are such lovely people, they made me feel like part of the family.

It went very fast and they were very clean.  Andy patiently answered all of my questions.  Since then if I have had any issues, Andy has come out for free very quickly to fix the problem.   Andy is very friendly and easy to work with.

They were great.  They were very professional and flexible.  They were on time and met all their time frames and dates.

So far, Paris Brothers Construction have been good. I liked how he is really efficient and on top of everything and he keeps us informed of everything that is going on.

We highly recommend the Paris Brothers. They are friendly, reliable, honest, and completed our extensive master bathroom remodel on time and to budget.  Importantly, the Paris Brothers remodeled our bathroom to the highest standard in an extremely clean work environment: we never had to clean up at the end of the day and since our bathroom was off the bedroom, this was essential.  Overall, the Paris Brothers are a construction dream: they work hard, they provide excellent and ongoing service, can be relied on for honesty, workmanship, and cleanliness, and work within your budget to offer the highest quality craftsmanship.  If we needed any new work in the future, I would not hesitate to hire them to perform the work. They do terrific work at a fair price and treat you and your property with respect!

Because a kitchen remodel is one of the most insanely daunting home projects you can do in your living space, we
approached this one pretty cautiously. We took a year to go through multiple bids, get advice, tour showrooms and even
get a set of plans drawn up.  All that prep still doesn't help if you have a bunch of yahoos doing the actual work, but I'm happy
to say we totally scored with Paris Brothers Construction, who came highly recommended to us by a good friend (and designer).
They came in extremely close to our original budget (and remember, we were tacking on a laundry room to the scope of work too) and the scheduling was spot on. Andy and Bill were patient, thoughtful, listened carefully to our concerns and made great suggestions when we whined about potential issues, whether they were design questions or budget busters. They did the full demolition far more quickly and thoroughly than I thought  possible, and once they lined up their sub contractors and assistants, dove into the project right away.
Throughout the approximately 8-9 week project, they projected a firm grasp of patience, organizational skill and a great
approach to solving problems. Cleanliness was a top priority too, as the work areas were sealed off from the main living areas with plastic, and each work space swept up at the end of every day. They even let our dog out to go pee when no one else was around. These guys could do it all.
Their suggestions for cabinetmaker, painter, plumber, electrician, wood provider and tile/counter company, all turned out to be
great choices, and we got a high level of services and product from each of them.  Along the way, they were able to help us stay within budget, yet also gave us excellent craftsmanship throughout the project. At the end, we got an amazing, flowing space with great materials, and a superb kitchen. We couldn't be more pleased with the end result.

PBC coordinated all subs and services seamlessly, and on schedule.
I would happily recommend them to anyone looking for residential or commercial construction!

Really great!  Andy and Bill are efficient.  They bring good subs to the job where needed, in which case they provide plenty of supervision.  They are respectful of both people and property, and they clean the job site scrupulously.  They are both excellent communicators and take the time to talk about the job so there are no surprises.  When they worked inside my house, they separated the area so dust wouldn't invade the rest of the house, and they took such great care of the carpet, I didn't need to have it cleaned (which had been my expectation).  Of primary concern for me was that the contractors I hired were aware of product safety and ecological solutions.  They are really well-informed, and if something comes up that is new, they do the research.

Paris Bros. were very patient. I had met with them in April (2011) to discuss remodeling my basement. After determining that the level of remodel was beyond my means, I explored the idea of converting my outdoor tool shed into a studio/office space. This too proved to be beyond what I was ready to do. But they walked me through each step of the process and in the end were instrumental in helping me make sound choices that would accommodate my budget and get me the end product that I would be happy with.

I ended up hiring them to prep my house for an exterior paint job. My house is 130 years old and has been under vinyl siding for almost 30 years. There was a significant amount of work that needed to be done before the painting could occur. They were timely, respectful and took care of my house with considerable diligence, including me in decision making around things that other contractors may have not considered necessary. After the prep work was finished, Paris Bros. acted as General Contractor to secure a roofer and painters to complete the project at fair prices and in a timely fashion. They checked in regularly and made sure that the additional work was being done and that I was happy.

While this project was underway, my tenants in my downstairs apartment moved out. As the apartment had not been upgraded in a number of years, I asked the Paris Bros. to help me do some work to get it ready to rent. They pulled carpet, found a hardwood floor refinisher, an interior painter, and did a number of fixes that were way beyond my capability.

I appreciated them sticking with me, while the scope of the project changed and as my circumstances changed.
Their work and level  professionalism are of equal quality and I would hire them again for future work.

The Paris Brothers are terrific!  They have been working for me for about a year as I am finishing/redoing a number of items on my 1908 house.  Andy and Bill are very detail-oriented and great problem-solvers with a good design sense; they have matched the style and materials of my vintage house and completed each project on time.  So far they have built in two closets with custom shelving and completed two bathrooms with a lot of tile.  They are really beautiful!   In addition, Andy and Bill have corrected the pitch and resurfaced a deck with natural stone, have rebuilt the wooden front entry stairs and handrails, and have poured new cement walkways and stairs, as well as a long driveway.  They were very careful with my plants and even kept the dirt clean!   Andy and Bill clean up the work site every day and  haul away the debris immediately.   Andy and Bill have installed seventeen new double-glazed windows and hired a subcontractor to insulate all the exterior walls (and a ceiling) on two floors of the building.  I have had electrical, plumbing, and heating system problems, and all of the subs that they have brought to my house have been excellent, as well as respectful.  I recommend these gentlemen highly for their integrity, honesty, and ecological awareness.
