I hired them to renovate my bathroom after Luis told me they had a licensed plumber and an amazing…read moretile guy. Well, the plumber and tile guy were one and the same and the day they were starting the tile, they opened up a brand new tile cutter out of the box and started reading the instructions. They used a piece of cardboard as a spacer, so as soon as it got wet, the spacing started to get funky. I also laid out a mock-up on my kitchen table of how each row of tile was to line up that they completely disregarded after the first wall was done. I came home for lunch one day and they had installed the bullnose upside down! They also used the wrong blade for the tile cutter because all the cut edges are raggedy. I'm going to have to pay someone to redo most of it one day, which will involve me replacing the expensive Italian tiles. Aside from the horrible tile work, the window casing looks like it was put together with scraps of trim and they painted everything with a roller and didn't full nail holes before doing so. They also damaged the new tub when installing the drain and damaged some tiles installing some fixtures. The drain line to the sink was installed too high, so until we can get a plumber to come in and repair it, we had to bend the metal and tape it all together temporarily just to get the drain to open and close all the way. Finally, we keep finding set screws on the floor and fixtures keep coming apart (faucet handles will come off in your hand, towel bars come loose from the wall, etc). I never pick the cheapest contractor but Luis and Antonio assured me I'd be pleased with the final product. It looks like I did it myself and I am not handy!

Dream House Services has been our go-to contractor for years because the quality, reliability, and…read morecreativity is unmatched. Khanh and his team consistently do an amazing job providing a finished project that meets or exceeds our expectations, all while protecting and respecting our property. Khanh is the only contractor I trust to not only accomplish my vision (in detail and meticulously) but also NOT destroy my property in the process. He always makes sure he knows exactly what you're asking for. He confirms he can accomplish it and even suggests modifications to the plan to improve it, to give you the best outcome. The whole team will come to your home and spend a day prepping your space "Dexter" style. He protects everything and anything near or around the work he will do. I've never had a problem with damage to my property with Khanh but I have with EVERY other contractor, no matter the job. In the past, every time we chose to go with someone else because Khanh wasn't available (scheduling), we regretted it! Khanh is a contractor that pays attention to detail, respects you and your property, and gives you exactly what you paid for or more. He's the only professional contractor I will work with for my home.

Furthermore, Khanh had great insight and possible solutions to issues that occurred during the re-build.

The team was able to work with us on pricing and figuring out ways to re-use or re-purpose existing undamaged parts of the kitchen to keep cost low. Lastly, Khanh and team was able to stick fairly close to schedule even when material delays or additional issues discovered. I would recommend the Dream House Services team for future any future work

I would highly recommend RJT Carpentry and Tile for your kitchen and bathroom renovations. I…read morerecently had Ryaan and team gut renovate my kitchen as well as do a more minor renovation in my bathroom. I must say that I was impressed with the designer with whom they work, Anna Orfanides. I told her what style I was looking for, and Anna knocked it out of the park. It's simply stunning, and everyone who has seen my kitchen is impressed. While it was merely a galley kitchen in a Brookline condo, Anna envisioned a design that made it much more functional, timeless, and chic. Hilary Farr would be impressed. Ryaan and team are highly detail oriented. There was one incident where there was a problem with some of the lighting materials. While some contractors would have taken a shortcut and simply have installed the lighting as is, Ryaan and his electrician Chris, who was a perfectionist, made sure that the vendor was held accountable, and they refused to install the product until the issue was resolved with the manufacturer. It should also be noted that Ryaan and team are in constant communication from the project inception until the very end. Kristina, the project manager, is unbelievably responsive. You really can get in touch with her around the clock. The workmanship is impeccable, and it's the first project I've done with a nonexistent punch list. Ryaan took care of small details before I even mentioned them. Finally, I want to add that they are just nice people. I really do think animals are the best judges of character. My dog is a Lhasa Apso, and there are some people he just doesn't like. I was worried that there would be lots of barking and growling throughout the project. However, that was not the case. My dog took a liking to the project team from the beginning. There was no barking and growling. If he can trust them, so can I. It was a wonderful experience, and they really have earned five stars. Thank you!!

Initial calls for gut kitchen and adjacent bathroom renovation + removal of load bearing wall went…read morewell with Sabrina and Ray - they assured us they have done many similar projects in the area successfully and on time. From the many positive and detailed yelp/google/houzz/angi reviews that had great end result pictures, we were convinced to move forward. Sabrina turned around the estimate for labor and some materials allowance quickly along with separate helpful tiered pricing guidance PDFs for kitchen and bathroom finishes to be purchased separately. Tile guidance was a bit off and a few categories like vanity, counter, mirror, light fixture in bathroom and plumbing for kitchen were missing. Vendors showed us finishes across all price tiers so it took us an extra week to finalize selections. Unfortunately we were told this delayed the project by a month. We were asked to wait on the kitchen design until after the engineering work for removal of the load bearing wall and addition of shear walls. Since we had a choice on the location of the shear walls, we preferred to do the design in tandem. I used cabinets.com to create my own rendering of the kitchen layout we wanted and provided them the full dimensions. The day before the approved structural wall work was to begin they sent their own drawing which had the wrong wall locations. After talking to both David and Dayna we realized her and the designer were not brought up to speed on the engineering work. Dayna then setup a productive Zoom call with the designer directly and we got my drawing to be updated with a few suggestions and required spacing and panels. The biggest mistake in the project came from one of their subcontractors employees who removed the plastic cover over our basement sink and cleaned off tools and plaster in it clogging the drain. Bay State quickly sent the drywall guy back over to unclog it. The project took just under 4 months to complete. Bay State and their subcontractors apart from the sink issue did not cut corners, often went above and beyond, and completed top quality finishes. No up-charge on materials was another big positive. The actual work done by the plumber (Mr Fix-It), electrician (Marcus Quintino), tile guys, drywall guy, cabinets guys, floor guys, and painters (AJA Painting) was excellent and we are very happy with our new space. Marcio was the MVP of their team - always calm, listened attentively to our many questions, provided great suggestions, and constantly asked the subcontractors to clean up. If they forgot, he cleaned up himself. His wife also worked tirelessly all day cleaning up at the end of the project. Things constantly move around and change during construction and it was difficult to get a clear picture of the plan each day. Andreina and at the start Dayna heard from us every week and always answered the phone and tried their best to chase down answers from others and get us the latest information. The billing process is very straightforward and Andreina provided further detail on line items as needed. Jose was always positive and happy to pass along feedback from us to the office when he swung by. Sabrina provided helpful guidance at the start in choosing our cabinets, counters, and hardware. David continually helped move the project along and has ensured everything is to our liking while encouraging us to pass along any punch list items. I would recommend Bay State for their quality of work, integrity, and communication. My main constructive feedback is on the design process and keeping everyone in sync throughout the project on the latest information.

Jeff is terrific!…read more There was a leak in our kitchen which we knew was coming from the only full bath, one flight up. We thought it was the shower. Jeff came in, gave us an estimate for replacing the kitchen ceiling, and we agreed to go ahead, knowing that whatever would have to be fixed in the upstairs bath would cost extra. My husband and I were honestly expecting it would cost another 200% or more. Jeff found the leak (it was the clean water source for the toilet tank and not the shower at all), showed us the problem, and went ahead and fixed it. He redid the kitchen ceiling and painted it, all with minimal disruption to two people who work from home. And the extra cost? It was an additional 33 1/3% (or, an additional one-third added to the initial estimate)! Clean, quiet, professional, fast, smart, I cannot say enough good things about him!

Stone for an extensive house renovation project, including but not limited to, a kitchen, two bathrooms, and a finished basement. Upon the commendable completion of the project, I can confidently attest to Jeff's skill and expertise, most notably demonstrated in his carefully crafted tile design and excellent carpentry work. Jeff listened patiently, offered helpful suggestions, was agreeable to most requests, and when presented with a challenge, was up to the task. In fact, my favorite feature is the herringbone patterned backsplash in the kitchen, which he meticulously custom-made - a real masterpiece! Overall, my experience working with Jeff was positive, enjoyable, and collaborative. He transformed an old, tired, and ordinary house into a fresh, modern, and remarkable home.

I wholeheartedly recommend All Solutions Home Services. Michael and Tom are terrific. They seem to…read moreknow how to do almost anything! The great variety of jobs they did for me were done quickly, thoughtfully and expertly. They were recommended to me by a friend to do a variety of time sensitive jobs at the end of a major renovation of our tenant unit in our two family in Watertown. Their jobs included tiling of a newly installed kitchen, installed and encasing a vent to the exterior for an in-unit washer drier, installed a built-in mirror cabinet in a bathroom, and installed a new, wider basement door. While they were there they ended up solving a variety of additional problems - temporarily removed some kitchen cabinetry and door trim to enable delivery of a new refrigerator, plastered and painted a removed cabinet area, strengthened the steps into my basement, etc. Throughout the process Michael and Tom communicated super well, pointing out options in how to proceed, made suggestions for sequencing of projects for better outcomes, kept us up to date regarding progress to completion dates, etc. They took meeting their commitments to completion dates super seriously, working extra hours and weekends when they ran into unexpected complications, and checking in with me to make sure I was happy with things along the way. I general contracted our renovations (what was I thinking...) over three months and observed and had personal experience with each of the contractors we used. Some looked great, and ended up being hard to work with, expensive and underdelivered. Michael and Tom were the opposite. While they may appear more low key and not as polished as some, they were probably the most effective, professional and responsible of all the people I hired. I am hiring them for a number of additional things. These guys rock - I recommend them to all my friends and neighbors.
