We contracted with Anthony and his team at Dream Builderz to build a new half bathroom on the…read morefirst floor of our home. Anthony was fully responsive from start to finish and was totally committed to providing us with what we envisioned for the project. He was communicative about the process and always sought our input and approval when changes were needed. His team was diligent and stayed within budget, even after unforeseen challenges that are common across any new construction build. I would recommend Dream Builderz for their quality, value, and most importantly their integrity and communicativeness in working with you to bring your project to fruition.

It was a fairly large job, consisting of our kitchen, bathroom, roof and exterior wall. Dream Builderz was well versed in dealing with the insurance to make sure they fully understood all of the damage we were repairing. They were timely, professional and considerate of our family. We would definitely recommend them.

I recently had the pleasure of listing and selling my JP Condo with BJ Ray and the Boston Home…read moreTeam. After interviewing other JP relators, I decided to go with BJ because I was impressed with his depth of understanding of the JP market and the sophistication of his reasoning around timing, pricing, and bidding. Throughout the process I was impressed with the team's coordination, especially Beth, the Director of Operations. The listing/sale process was clearly explained and smooth. BJ and team coordinated the staging, smoke detector inspection, three visits by handymen to address last minute items, and the legal aspects with the attorney they work with. BJ was right on with his pricing and I accepted a final offer a few percentage points above our listing price! I give Boston Home Team my strongest endorsement!

The Boston Home Team recently helped us sell our home on the north shore and what an absolutely…read moreFANTASTIC experience from start to finish! We worked primarily with Meredith and BJ (with Meredith leading) and not only are they an absolutely stellar team, they are also the kindest, most fun humans to work with. It made what should have been a super stressful experience actually pretty fun. Before getting to know them, two aspects of their business really stood out to us (we met with multiple agents before choosing Boston Home Team): their incredible listing services - especially the photos/videos they provide (I am especially fussy about this as a full-time professional photographer myself) - and the fact that they come in and spend a good chunk of time working with the homeowner on the staging aspect. This ended up being my favorite part of the experience - working with Meredith to make our home look its absolute best. She has phenomenal taste and also offers additional items to fill gaps where needed. My husband thought it was all a bit silly ... until we closed at over 30% over asking price. ;) What we didn't realize in advance was just how much time and effort they would put into marketing our home. They work their social media hard, and the eventual buyer found our home through Facebook ads (they hadn't even been looking in our town). Their communications throughout were top-notch and I felt comfortable reaching out multiple times with silly questions and thoughts, and they were always so encouraging and enthusiastic in their responses. I cannot recommend them highly enough. We are SO grateful that our realtor friend who is no longer in the Boston area was able to recommend them to us.

We recently hired JMS to re-side our house and replace the windows and porch, and while we were a…read morelittle apprehensive at first, Jim and his crew quickly put our minds at ease. From the beginning, Jim was transparent about pricing and clearly explained how long each step of the project would take without us even having to ask. His crew was hardworking, professional, and incredibly respectful, not only to us but also to our neighbors. The quality of their work exceeded our expectations, and the entire process went smoothly from start to finish. We were so happy with the results that we hired JMS again to remodel our kitchen and bathrooms. Once again, the experience was excellent. Jim and his crew delivered outstanding craftsmanship, and their attention to detail was second to none. We couldn't be happier and would highly recommend JMS to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality work.

We value his work and he has the best prices around!Recently he put an addition onto our house with a mudroom, laundry room and 2 work stations. He matched the previous design he did in the kitchen so it was a flawless transition. This was a tough project and I couldn't believe how quickly his company delivered a final product as beautiful as I imagined. I would definitely recommend James Scances to all my friends & family. He is actually building a new construction home for friends of ours!! Thanks James and team! Look forward to finishing our basement!!

Juliano and Mireille prepared a detailed proposal within a few days of visiting us. This involved plumbers, electricians, and a carpenter. It's an old house and of course nothing is standard and every job involves surprises. Juliano and Mireille took everything in stride, always graciously. Work commenced soon after we signed the agreement, and took less than a week. We were SO impressed with how the work flowed, even with multiple trips for the plumbers and carpenter. Juliano and Mireille were incredibly responsive, always patient and friendly, and oversaw the work closely. We could not be happier with our new laundry room, or with the excellent work that was done to make it happen. They are truly professionals with the highest standards, and are very kind, too. I recommend them without reservation.

Although his bid was not the least expensive, neither was it outrageously more expensive than the other (legitimate) bids. In fact, I believe it was the fairest, most detailed and most accurate bid. And he was a far better and more reliable contractor than any of the others we talked to. And we spoke to a lot of contractors (dozens?). He did a really superior job, in lots of different ways, in matters large and small, on lots of different levels. And, just as importantly or perhaps even more important, I found him to be exceptionally fair and honest. And I have to admit that, over the course of the project, I learned to sincerely like and respect Roy a LOT. I think everyone did. My guess is that he may well be the best contractor that I will ever meet or work with in my life. In fact, I think he probably is.

In 2018, we purchased a house built in 1799 that needed a lot of TLC. We brought in Figueiredo…read moreCarpenter and Builder to assess the situation and make the necessary repairs to insure that the structure would last another 200-years. Given the challenges of dealing with unknowns in repairing an historic house (you never know what needs to be done until you open it up), Tom Figueiredo set up an process for us that was very fair, affordable, and expertly took care of what needed to be done. Along the way, he kept us in the loop and always checked with us before starting a new phase..He also impressed us with his incredible master carpenter skills and his knowledge of historic structural and design details. All work was completed in a timely manner. Having grown up in an old home and having worked with many builders restoring three historic homes over the last 46 years, we can honestly say that Tom Figueiredo is by far the best carpenter/builder we have ever hired to restore our antique homes. We would rate him six-stars out of five if we could.

Elizabeth helped me find a new home in Boston under SUPER stressful conditions (i.e. moving across…read morethe country during a pandemic). She was responsive and followed my lead with communication preferences (text, calls and emails). She did not flood me with communications but responded to my inquiries quickly. My favorite aspect of working with Elizabeth was that she was direct and precise in her communications. She provided requested information in a friendly, professional and clear manner. I have worked with several other Realtors and their cloudy, rambling communications made transactions REALLY difficult. Elizabeth wasn't like that at all. I trusted the information she provided and any inconsistencies were due to other Realtors and not her. I told Elizabeth my home and neighborhood preferences and she stuck to my guidelines. I loved that she knew about the area and could advise me on what was a good deal or not. I also appreciated that she communicated with seller realtors and got an idea about offers and negotiable items. I also value that Elizabeth drove around and did video call showings with me around my schedule. She had excellent knowledge of structural components and told me why certain things were significant. She was candid when places looked better in listing pictures than in person. As a bonus, Elizabeth was also super helpful when I was having problems with my short-term rental. She let me know about reasonable expectations with my landlord and my responsibilities as a tenant.
