Sean was honest and provided an extremely detailed quote. He followed the proper protocol and filed notice with the state, as is legally required for deleading work in MA. I also asked if he would send me a picture of the work once he was done to save me a trip to the property, and he promptly followed up with a photo. It was a small and simple job, but the price was fair and Sean was able to perform the work within the timeframe I requested and communicated well in between the initial step of reaching out, providing me with a quote, performing the work, and billing.

I have had NO personal work done by the Holland Companies. This is not about the quality of their…read morework per se. I am an abutter to a large 2 year project they did and my concern is they are bad neighbors and seem unconcerned about that. They really trashed the area-, street damage to a private street is/was a huge problem. Despite emails to the three owners, several phone calls to them- not one response to figure a way to work with us, the abutting neighbors. I complained to the Mayor, city councilor, building department all with little success. They might be good builders, I don't know but they are bad neighbors and simply concerned with a buck

While selling our home the inspector indicated that there was a problem with our heating system…read morethat required a contractor to fix. We reached out to the Holland Companies via our real estate broker and while the estimate ballooned from ~$60 to a final bill of $530, we were satisfied with the fix... until the heat was again unable to be turned on by the buyers during the walkthrough. The plumber came back out (with no notice, which we were grateful for), was finally able to get the heat turned on, and our house closed! A day after the closing we received an additional invoice for $200 for 2.5 hours of work. While the information above paints the picture of a perhaps less than competent, somewhat unscrupulous, and generally mediocre contractor, the final exchange between myself and the owner, Joe, added enough to push me to write this and plead with any and all customers not to seek out the services of the Holland Company. I intended on calling the company to ask for an explanation of the rationale for additional invoice (specifically why following the manufacturer instructions to override a temperature sensor and pressing the "on" button was billed out at 2 hours) and instead was confronted with accusations of "welching" on my bill and a barrage of misogyny that has no place in a customer service industry. Joe repeatedly talked over me, called me "honey", "sweetheart " and "love", and when I told him that I was dismayed at his lack of decorum and would be writing a negative review, he responded sarcastically with "Ooooohhhhhh, I'm going to be on the internet? Big deal, I don't care." Additionally, Joe indicated they are not in the "service" industry and was doing us a "favor" through our real estate agent, and I have no idea why he agreed to provide a service if he's not in the service industry. I am simply a consumer looking to understand a bill. I paid the bill, as I do all my bills, as originally sent, but was unhappy with the back-and-forth on the fix and more incredulous at how I was treated when I called the company to discuss what I didn't understand about that bill. Well Honey, welcome to the internet and for all of you prospective clients out there, please run (don't walk) away from doing business with this company.

Believe the hype!…read more Often when I read this many positive reviews on Yelp, I wonder if the company has asked for such reviews. Fear not -- Adam and his team are the real deal. I had my kitchen renovated while living in my unit. The workers did their best to remain unobtrusive, and they timed the project so that I could use my kitchen almost the entire time. Adam's prices were extremely reasonable. I appreciated that, when I made a few last-minute requests on project changes, he was flexible. My favorite thing is that Adam gave me a lot of peace-of-mind -- I am a huge worrywart, and I probably sent Adam an email every day (on average) to follow-up on the status of the project. Adam replied to every email and call very patiently and was always very communicative. You really can't ask for more. Highly recommended; I won't hesitate to call Adam again when I need more renovations done. Thanks Adam!

Not only does he seek to do the highest-quality work, he is a real pleasure to work with. We contacted Victor to paint and refurbish our bathroom. While he was here we began talking with him about some other areas of our condo that needed work. Victor handled all of the jobs and got them done within the amount of time he said he would. He and his crew showed up each morning and got right to work, maximizing everyone's time. When the job was complete, he walked me through the work in order to make sure I was happy. If there was something that needed a little touch up, he fixed it up with a smile. While Victor was here, our toilet started to give some problems. Victor fixed our toilet and didn't charge us anything. He really cares about his customers and wanted to leave us with a bathroom that exceeded our expectations. I'm not easily impressed and I've had other companies do work in our condo before, but I've never worked with a contractor that is as professional, caring, and competent as Victor. I would highly recommend Arvig Service Solutions to anyone looking to do any type of renovations around their home or business.

John and his assistant John came over to take a look at our house and to review the engineered plans. John provided us with a fair estimate and proof of insurance. We felt confident that John could do the job. On the very first day of John and John beginning the project, they discovered ducts in the walls which were not shown in the engineered plans. They immediately stopped working and told us to review our options and make a decision that we were comfortable with. They were extremely patient and never pressured us to continue the project. Several weeks later after we had the hvac ducts removed, the project resumed. They moved with great speed through the project. Our house was cleaned up when they left each day. They could not have been more pleasant, and the communication was outstanding. Factors outside of John's control (hvac issues from an hvac company we hired) complicated the project, but John never seemed frustrated when the project was delayed. John took what had become a very stressful situation and eased our worries. He advocated for us every step of the way and went above and beyond any of our expectations. The project was finished in a timely manner, and the work was beautifully done. I can honestly say John is the most honest contractor I have ever met. We are so appreciative to have found him, will be repeat customers, and would recommend him to anyone looking for an honest and fair contractor.

We hired John to replace just about all of the windows (13) in our 1897 Victorian home. John came highly recommended, and we couldn't have been happier with his work. John was the kindest, most honest, and highly-skilled contractor I've ever worked with. He gave us a very reasonable quote for the window work, and did a great job setting expectations on how long the work would take and what it would entail. John and his team then installed the windows expertly, in the estimated time frame, and on budget. John and his team were also extremely courteous while working in our home during COVID, and went above and beyond cleaning up after themselves and taking away all the garbage. When they left, we simply got to enjoy having windows that kept our home warm . John will definitely be the first person I contact for any work associated with our home for many years to come.
