"I originally hired Services & More to cut my grass. But...one thing led to another. As I also had an issue with one one my windows. The trim was rotted and water was getting into the wall causing damage, along with that, we desperately needed to replace our shingles. My husband and I wanted vinyl siding done. Adam, was very helpful with the whole process. Before I knew it everything we needed done had gotten done, and then some. What I liked most about this company was he never pushed or tried to sell us on any services. We just happened to ask. Once again, Adam took care of what we wanted to do and more, because we asked, including our garden beds. When they did the siding, they replaced ply wood in the areas that needed it, and also repaired the foundation, in certain spots. Adam also did the interior of our wall, where that window was. ALL VERY reasonable in price! Considering that they did quite a lot. They are my go to guys!! I've hired them for life! Highly recommend!!"
"Scott did a great job! He was completely dedicated to job completion and honoring the time estimate. Very good hourly rates, I would highly recommend Scott for your repair needs."
"Would highly recommend par holdings to anyone that needs electrical work done. They handled everything from the permit to calling the town inspector. Dennis sr and Dennis Jr were both wonderful to deal with. Had the work done on time, on budget, and no stress. I highly recommend their company for anything that you might need."
"Jon did an excellent job of transforming our outdated, broken bathroom into one that is in showroom condition. The bathroom required more work and time than anticipated and he was at our house everyday putting it all back together. We will have Jon return to our house for future jobs and we highly recommend him for any project that you are considering. Most importantly, Jon listens to and respects women. If there is a problem he will offer solutions/alternatives."
"I recently had my shingle roof replaced and I?m very happy with the results. The team was professional, punctual, and completed the job efficiently. The quality of the work is excellent, and the new roof looks great. They kept the work area clean and communicated well throughout the process. I would definitely recommend them to anyone needing a roof replacement."
"We hired SAWS Construction to replace our wooden deck. Richard was reliable and responsive throughout the project. He went above and beyond our expectations providing excellent craftsmanship."
"My wife and I have owned several historic homes. Our favorite is the one we live in now, a former carriage house, built in 1865. We believe strongly that one of the primary duties inherent in having such a house is being a good steward--not just taking good care of it, but making sure that the work done to it is of the highest quality. In short, we have very standards; the house deserves nothing less. LOPCO not only lived up to those standards, but exceeded them. Their work ethic, attention to detail, knowledge, experience, and leadership were exceptional. And it was all done on time and on budget. We can honestly say this was the best experience we've ever had with a contractor. We offer LOPCO our strongest possible recommendation, without hesitation."
"Abraham came to my home on time well prepared with the right tools. He called ahead of schedule time to ask if it was ok to come early. The dresser was put together without reading the directions and took roughly an 1:10 minutes to build. Definitely will recommend, he completed the job fast and did a great job."
"I cannot speak highly enough of Tom and Brad Green of Colonial Restorations. We have lived in our antique house for 16 years now, and like most old homes, some of its previous repairs were good, some not so good. Tom Green worked on this house for its previous owners, and his work was, by far, the best in the house. So, we continued to use Colonial - Tom, then Tom and Brad - as we learned the ropes about caring for an old house - our first house, old or new. Over the years, they have replaced sills and posts and beams, and rebuilt parts of our loose stone foundation. Most recently, they replaced the last original posts in our basement, (one of which was a tree trunk still with bark on it), including pouring new custom footings, in advance of our finally cementing the dirt floor. The work here is never easy - nothing is level, nothing is square - but the Greens' end result has always been beautiful - strong and made to last. Their prices are fair and without hidden costs....maybe not the lowest bid you might get, but you know it's a real bid that they will stand behind. They triage projects for us, giving us an idea of what other items will likely need attention in the next few years. We're not done with this house yet....we've never won the lottery, and there's always another repair..... and plan to use them again soon. I feel confident knowing that the next owners of this house, whoever they might be, will see the quality of the work and know that we cared enough to have the right people help us with the ongoing repair and maintenance of a 275+ year old house. I am a real person, a real customer, with no ties to the company, and was more than happy to write this review."
Look for scorched leaves and corroded structural frames caused by Bristol’s coastal salt spray. Inspect your property for cracked floors or shifted raised beds resulting from winter frost heaves. You should also check for standing water and root rot, which indicate poor drainage in heavy clay soils. Address any invasive plants or non-compliant structures immediately to keep your greenhouse and nursery service functioning properly.

The longevity of your greenhouse and nursery service depends heavily on selecting salt-tolerant plants suited for Rhode Island coastal conditions. Install high-quality drainage infrastructure to prevent root rot and foundation failure during heavy spring rains. Build resilient structures designed to handle high wind loads. Finally, test and amend your soil consistently to maintain plant health and ensure lasting success in Bristol.

Make your greenhouse and nursery service safer by testing the soil for legacy contamination found in older Bristol neighborhoods. Build raised beds with clean, imported soil to protect children and pets. Remove toxic invasive species and poison ivy before establishing play areas. Secure all greenhouse framing and glazing to withstand strong coastal winds, and store supplies above ground level in flood-prone areas.

Ensure a smooth greenhouse and nursery service project by verifying flood zone and historic district requirements with local officials. Schedule your installation to avoid the wettest spring months, and finish construction before October to test heating systems before winter. Contact the state utility location service before digging any foundations. Consult local extension resources for RI planting calendars and coastal plant selection guidance.

Start your greenhouse and nursery service with a comprehensive soil test to identify elevated salinity or legacy contamination common in Bristol. Plant a windbreak using salt-tolerant native species to protect your structures from harsh bay winds. Plan for season extensions using cold frames to maximize the growing period between the last and first frosts in RI. Always verify local zoning setbacks before building permanent structures.
