We discussed our concern over the phone, received a quote to come by our house, write up a detailed report/analysis and provide a few Contractors who may be able to assist in resolving the issue. Mr. Mugnier came by our house and looked at the issue. He answered our questions and, in addition, he insisted on inspecting our basement (which was unrelated to the issue). When we received his report one week later, we were quite surprised to read just three sentences with general comments about the issue we hired him for. We reached out to request a more detailed report and received a few lines back which simply stated the area in question was "presently dangerous and cannot be used". Yeah we knew that) In addition, we requested the names of Contractors, and as of yet (we are just over a month out from his visit) we have not received any. Since Mr. Mugnier insisted on payment after his visit/before the report the written we have little recourse but to share our experience with the hope that others will take note.

We were conned by Sean Douglas of Carleone Masonry. We had a written agreement for a new basement…read morefloor that specifically included a vapor barrier. After invoicing us and getting halfway through the job, he demanded additional charges for concrete and the pump that had never been mentioned verbally or included in the earlier written invoice. Despite our repeatedly asking him, both the day before and on the day of the concrete pour, to install the agreed-upon vapor barrier, he waited until the last minute and said there was no need for vapor barrier. When we insisted, his workers hastily laid down an extremely thin plastic painter's sheet (0.31 mil), which was torn in numerous places as soon as it came into contact with the gravel. This is not a vapor barrier, MA building code requires min 6 mil, ideally 10 mil vapor barrier. Sean claimed that he uses this sheet all the time and that it was OK. We stopped the concrete pour halfway through, resulting in the loss of concrete we had already paid for, and terminated the contract. We ultimately spent approximately $14,400, yet only about one-third of the basement floor was poured, and the poured portion does not have the agreed-upon vapor barrier, which is against the MA building code. His invoice to finish this job was around $12,000. On the day of the pour, Sean also brought in outside workers to trowel-finish the poured portion of the concrete floor, an additional cost that we paid for a partially finished floor. This was an extremely frustrating and costly experience. We strongly recommend that others stay away from Carleone Masonry and Sean Douglas. Seeing the other negative reviews, there is clearly a pattern.

Kevin and his crew recently remodeled our half bath here in Ashland, and the experience was flawless from start to finish. Kevin was incredibly responsive right from our first contact and provided the best quote by far. He made the entire process seamless by letting me choose exactly what I wanted for the design while he took care of all the purchasing. He refused to compromise on quality and ensured every detail of the work was executed at the highest possible level. You can tell they care deeply about their clients. It truly feels like a great family operation--his dad even helped gather and deliver the materials, and Kevin personally came by to check on the progress and make sure we were completely happy with the results. On top of the beautiful craftsmanship, his crew was top-notch. They were respectful of our home, cleaned up impeccably, and ensured every bit of trash was taken out before they left.
