David and Adam at Carbide are nearing completion of a modular build on our 1940s Cape Code that almost doubled the square footage of our house. We could not be happier with how it turned out. Home renovation is daunting to say the least and a huge expense. Carbide walked us through the process patiently from start to finish. From the initial conversations, to design, financing, choosing finishes and the actual construction itself, David and Adam answered our incessant questions and made thoughtful and informed recommendations along the way. Their attention to detail has been excellent, often nitpicking things that I never would have even noticed. The house is beautiful. But honestly though, the reason I above all that I whole heartedly endorse Carbide is that they are GOOD guys. In an industry where you never know who you can trust, David and Adam are kind and ethical and do what's right to complete your project. They were open and honest with costs, what was going well, what they were worrying about. I never for one minute worried about their integrity or shoddy craftmanship. They felt like family for the time we spent together. My advice if you are considering Carbide for a modular build -
1. Do it! It's life changing!
2. Ask all the questions. Contractors manage multiple projects at once and don't always anticipate what your questions might be. Operate in a "pull mode" for communication and you will always get whatever information you need!
3. Don't underestimate the disruption of living in your house during a rebuild. It is 100% doable and a choice I would make again, but I definitely underestimated the impact it would have on daily life for a few months!
4. Choose Carbide! You will spend a lot of time with your contractors for a few months. Feeling like you can trust them to have your best interests at the center of the project is so important to your sanity and success.
Thanks David and Adam, we are forever grateful. read more
