Wrapping up our project, we were told that as the house settles, the grout will crack and caulk will separate and to call as we notice these things. Tom answered our follow-up call over a year later without missing a beat. He sent his glass guy and grout guy for 2 separate checks and fixes and did all that without cost to us. Beautiful touch ups and we continue to love and use our master bedroom/bathroom addition as much as the day it was completed. Thanks Tom!

How can you love a contractor? Well, we did! And we love you guys--Tom, Adam, and the whole team at…read moreShenon Construction! Let us explain why. Tom is the owner of Shenon Construction, and as first time homeowners with a master bedroom addition being our first construction project, we approached Tom both cautiously and slowly. We first talked 8 years ago and Tom was so incredibly patient, answering all our questions and going round after round with meetings. He led us through HVAC and window considerations before we even committed to the project. He subsequently drafted a thoughtful and detailed plan, connecting us with his designer to get things started. Enter COVID and our infamously slow city planning department. It took almost five years just to get our permit approval. Tom kept advising us throughout and his recommended designer diligently re-submitted plan after plan. Tom never showed an ounce of impatience and after five years, a project needs to be re-bid. Impressively, Tom encouraged us to price compare contractors once again. We knew Tom so well at this point and he still carefully re-walked us through every step of the process and cost. Once again, no one came close to Tom and Shenon in their ability to earn our trust. When we finally kicked things off at the end of July, we were introduced to our project manager, Adam. Hands down the most detail-oriented, organized, and responsible person we've ever met, Adam was at our house almost every day. Memorably, he echoed Tom in saying every tiny detail or concern goes through them. From then on, we saw every worker arrive on time doing incredible work. We discussed endlessly the closet sizes, number of light fixtures, which windows pass code, who does lead remediation, replacing the basement access, where to fit a sun tunnel, what height to make our deck, yes or no to gutters, color choice after color choice, and on and on. Adam smiled throughout, had answers to every question, and always replied with a 'just let me know'! Everything was built to meet Tom and Adam's high standards. We received to-do lists weekly, a spread out payment schedule, and met with scores of expert sub-contractors. Tom and Adam did all this while juggling around our living in the home, limiting dust and noise, and being ever mindful of our cat. Adam went above-and-beyond here, as well, responding to our group text chats anytime day or night and was excellent handling our day-to-day needs while sending the big project questions to Tom. We ultimately became friendly with these guys and can't imagine any homeowner not feeling the same. It was amazing to see our room go from foundation to framing to finishing--everything happened so quickly! In fact, the whole project took about five months, wrapping up with the final inspection an entire month ahead of schedule. We now have a wood-floor master bedroom with a large picture window, an subway-tiled master bathroom with wet room shower/bath combo, a much needed walk-in-closet, and a lovely wood deck patio with a pergola. We absolutely love our new space, and we couldn't be more thankful to Shenon. We've heard from friends and neighbors about construction nightmares, littered with no shows, hard to reach GCs, shoddy workmanship, and unfulfilled follow-ups. Shenon construction is the complete opposite. Tom keeps every promise and provides options for aesthetics and saving money, but never compromises on quality. Adam's care and hard work makes the project smooth and keeps the excitement of building fun and alive. They're just awesome, and we can't recommend them enough. Shenon Construction earns all of their positive reviews and we're so happy we chose them. We only hope we can work with them again!

The designer worked diligently to create a kitchen that was functional and matched our vision. The turnaround time was better than expected. The completion date was met and final finishes were completed with minimal disruption. We did encounter some minor hiccups but Larry and his team addressed them promptly until we were satisfied with the outcome. We are happy the issue was resolved before the big holidays. What stood out the most was this company's professional and courteous approach. Larry and his team are trustworthy and really care about their clients. If you're looking for a contractor for a big or small project, who is professional, courteous, and easy to communicate with, this is a solid choice. He handled concerns with care and ensured quality results in our kitchen and living room walls remodel.

I'd highly recommend working with them on any project, large or small.

In sum, they were quick, neat and on budget and we are extremely happy with all aspects of both projects. I will definitely use them again and have already recommended them to others. You should seriously consider them!

We will definitely hire him again if we need any additional work. Ruben met with us several times during our design phase. (This was even before we officially hired him for the job.) He recommended an architect and designer to pull the permits and help us pick all the details to design all the spaces, and to give us a good idea of what it would look like. Ruben was VERY patient with us, as this was our first remodel. We were not sure what to select, and we changed our minds a lot. He was very straightforward with his pricing and reasonable compared to quotes from other licensed contractors. Ruben and his crew are great to work with, and they all wanted to make sure we were happy with the every little detail of the job. He is very responsive, returning emails, calls and texts promptly. He is very friendly and easy to talk to. You can be sure to trust him with a great remodel.

Long overdue here... Tyler and team took care of our home in Glassell Park/Mt Washington area…read more Unfortunately at the top of the year when the crazy rains hit we had tons of water damage in our bedroom below an upper level deck. By the end of the investigation of problems we had every French door leading to a deck replaced and 50% of our hardwood floors. Tyler came highly recommended from our mediator and he wasn't wrong. Goodhand was very professional and kept us understanding what was happening throughout the whole process. They completely interfaced with our insurance company to get the budget for the build to the right level and would always go back to them when something new was discovered. To say there were road bumps is an understatement....what made us so happy was Goodhand would never settle for just OK. if they found an electrical problem when they opened a wall it absolutely had to be fixed. I know a lot of contracts who just sweep problems under the rug but not this team. Does the best come at a price? I think the answer is always yes. I'm sure you can find a cheaper alternative out there but if you want your project done correctly with professionalism this is your 1 stop shop period. Highly recommend!

But as multiple problems surfaced we found a highly recommended carpenter to help us out. He quickly determined that our dream house was a nightmare and that we would need more than a carpenter to fix it. He recommended the best and most ethical contractor he knew, Tyler, at GoodHands Builders. We had to wait a few weeks to get on Tyler's schedule, but once we met with him we were impressed with his creativity, knowledge, and honesty. He is a straight-shooter who carefully explains what work needs to be done and why. He worked with us to find the best solutions for our needs and budget. We gave him a list of over twenty items that needed fixing and he offered to charge us cost-plus since it would be so hard to estimate so many small jobs. That seemed very fair to us. Work began and we received electronic bills every two weeks with transparent details that aligned with what was happening at our house. GoodHands workers/crews/subcontractors were respectful of us and our property. They showed up on time, worked hard, and cleaned up daily when finished. We had two guys who worked at our house six days a week for over a year. I felt totally comfortable being alone with them and leaving them alone when I wasn't home. They demonstrated the same integrity that Tyler did. (They once returned a ten dollar bill they found in the street near where my son's car had been parked shortly after he had left.) In addition to the crews who were here, either Tyler (the owner) or Stephen (the project manager) stopped by daily to make sure everything was proceeding smoothly. When workers found problems (like a screw through the copper piping in the bathroom, walls that were supported by 1x2s instead of 2x4s, cracks in the foundation, showers that didn't drain because they were level instead of sloped, improper water proofing underneath the tile, concrete pavers that rose up causing tripping hazards because they were used to hide a decaying driveway, and a shear wall that wasn't) the crew communicated to management and together they worked to find a solution and only then would Tyler or Stephen bring it to my attention. So while each of these surprises cost us money to fix, by the time I was told about them there were already solutions for us to chose from and plans to fix it. At one point, we realized that we were going to have to tear out the entire primary bathroom and redo another shower because of the flipper's previous faulty work. We decided to borrow from the adjacent bedroom and make the bathroom larger and add a custom closet so we'd have something good to show for all of the time and money we spent on repairs. We discussed multiple layout options with Tyler and he would prepare drawings and estimated costs for each one. The end result is a truly stunning bath and walk-in closet. Everyone we know who has worked with a contractor says that it has cost them more time and money than they expected. At then end of their projects, they all talked about how much they hated their contractors. They were right--it did take more time and money than initially expected. Some of that was due to supply chain issues related to the pandemic, but most of it was related to the shoddy workmanship of the seller and the surprises he left us. None of it was due to the contractor. Before, during, and after the work was was done, we didn't hate our contractor, we felt incredibly grateful to have found him. He saved our house, our sanity, and our investment. When we found new problems we felt fortunate to have someone we trusted to take care of so many unexpected surprises. After the repairs and remodeling were done inside, we again hired GoodHands to remove a cheap plastic lattice and metal structure outside and replace it with a custom-designed cedar pergola stained to match the house. As I write this, we had an electrical problem in the kitchen and thought we needed a couple of outlets replaced. One of the crew checked it for us and found plastic pieces inside the disposal that tripped the GFI switch causing the outlets not to work. It was just a small example of how GoodHands continues to save us time and money. I don't know how they came up with the company name but with GoodHands Builders we really are in good hands!
