A local Parish that does SO much 'good' in the neighborhood was lacking a set of safe, railed…read morestairs that could be flush with their stage's height (this would make ascending/descending the stage faster than walking to a far end). My family had the tools but NOT the know-how to build up-to-code stairs for the public. We called upon our 2015 porch 'hero' company, Progress Contracting Corp., owned by Tim & Nicole Fiorillo to ask if they could somehow give my husband and son the ins and outs to do goabout building the stairs. While this company may build high-end homes, Tim knows the value of mentoring others to build well-structured safe things that stand the test of time--Progress Contracting listens and they make their clients happy. West Roxbury's Stratford Street Church was over-the-moon grateful to get Progress Contracting Corp's gift of time and assistance with the measuring, mitering, sawing, mentoring, etc. that allowed my husband, Peter Low, and our son, Aidan, to construct them a set of amazing 'rolling/locking' stairs for the Church. Years ago, Progress Contracting Corp. saved my family from a $50K porch disaster and they became extended family to us. With their help this much-needed project cost my family $150-ish but it was a priceless gift to the Stratford Street Church near us. Good contractors are out there so make some progress on your home improvements--call Progress Contracting the first time. They're based in Franklin but they're often building in Westwood and West Roxbury. You won't be sorry; they're just good people building great things.

Our project was a full raising of the roof and total transformation of our existing main floor. We added 1200 sq. ft above our existing house, moved the kitchen and created a full open floor plan. We have officially taken our 1970's home into the 21st Century. Thanks Tom!
