They work hard, work smart, and know their stuff, inside and out. They have the kind of work ethic that I thought went out the window ages ago. They do site work, foundations, landscape installations, and road work. They do masonry, but I haven't used them for that, yet. I HAVE used them for grading, site work, landscape installations, sod installation, and cleanup. Also, they have large caliper trees on site, which they will install for you for less than it would cost you to buy the tree from a wholesale nursery. Sweet. They also have the best composted loam I have EVER seen for killer prices. They mostly work in the Sudbury, Concord, and Lincoln area. Give them a call. Talk to Marianne, and tell her that Kerri sent you. And, after you've worked with them, send me a thank you. You are Welcome.

A few months back I had hurt my back and realized I could not do my landscaping as planned. I needed to do get a design, have planting done, and discuss maintenance. I also needed clean up of weeds, etc. that had all gone untended for far too long. I found two companies in my area with 5 star reviews and left them each a message on a Saturday (late morning). I was ecstatic when a gentleman (Frank, perhaps??) called me back in an hour or so and said he could come out to take a look that very day. I had to meet up with folks around 2pm. He said he couldn't come before 4 or 5 I remember correctly so that worked out very well. I told him I'd be sure to be back here before 5 and he assured me he'd call if anything came up. I kind of thought that this service would be something I'd get to rave about on Yelp. Same day call back to take a look? Things were moving! I was almost so excited I got over the idea of spending a lot of $$. I rushed home from my late lunch plans, skipping having a cocktail and lingering, and awaited the arrival of the kind (kind for calling me. His demeanor was gruff, to be honest) gentleman who called me. Ah, but he didn't show up. And he didn't call (despite my having given him my cell phone number and having my home phone). I was not only disappointed, but not a little annoyed because it was a Saturday night and I am not a sitting at home on Saturday night kind of girl. I believe he did leave me a message on a week day after that - it may well have been the following Monday, but the no show/no call performance left me with a bad taste in my mouth. Had he simply called and said he'd follow-up... during the week, next month, never, I would've been more impressed. Heck, I didn't even expect the call back on Saturday. It's as if he went through the trouble to punish me for calling on a Saturday by curtailing my plans and keeping me in my house. I am told this is "par for the course," and I should've just called them back and dealt with it, but the last time I allowed a vendor/service provider to continue on after experiencing sub-par initial service, it was a disaster. So, perhaps it was the exception rather than the rule for this company, but I have to give them low marks without ever seeing their handy-work (which sounds great - too bad).

Do not hire Elite Installations…read more Elite Installations was nothing short of a nightmare. After a flood in our home while we had a 21-month-old and a 6-week-old they appeared to be doing things correctly. We later realized that was only because we were stuck in a hotel and couldn't see the shortcuts they were taking. They took advantage of a young family, trying to get back in their home. Fast-forward a year, and the truth came out: - They put the wrong carpet in one of our rooms. I will blame postpartum fog for not saying something sooner. - They installed our toilet in blatant violation of MA plumbing code, it wasn't even secured to the floor. This is basic, entry-level competence they couldn't manage. - they installed hardwood floors that warped and when they replaced it with LVT, they dint remove all the hardwood and now 1.5 years later it's warping again. - They did multiple other things incorrectly, and after constantly following up with them for 5 months, they did ultimately fix them. Despite constantly hyping themselves up on Facebook and recommending themselves at every turn, our experience proved they are not honest, they cut corners whenever possible, and they absolutely do NOT stand behind their work once they're paid. Look up the reviews, look up the litigation against them (which are being added too regularly), our situation is unfortunately not unique. To be clear, I have given elite MULTIPLE opportunities to remedy these issues and they refuse. If you value your home, money, your time, or your sanity, stay far away from this company. They are the last people you want to trust with your home.

I contracted with Greg to do a construction on my house with replacing a deck. He and a…read moresub-contractor came out and gave me all the right details about what would be done and really made me feel good about having him do the work. I paid half down and waited. Greg did put in for the permits with my town and I still waited. After four months of waiting he contacted me. But not to schedule the work but to tell me that I would need to pay the other half if I wanted the work to be done. I asked why and after some time I found out that he used my money when a financial backer on a house he was flipping in Westford backed out suddenly and he had to pay the people working on that project. He did not use any of the money on materials for my project. Then he wanted me to pay him the other half of the contract and that would supposedly get mine done. Needless to say there was no way I could trust that and told him so. He promised to pay back the money as soon as he could. Three years later and nothing. Now he even doesn't even respond to communications about this. So, this is what happened to me. You decide on your projects and whether he is a trustworthy person.

He cancelled on me more than one time after we had taken time off from work to meet with him, and his help was bafflingly rude when they told me after the last cancellation that they didn't want our business.

The entire project team was great to work with, very responsive and highly organized. We really liked the project management app and 3D design software they used. Before bringing in the Core team my husband and I struggled with making decisions around the final design. However once we brought in Corey's team, they helped with determining the design elements and provided great guidance & suggestions that made the decision process much easier. The Core team was very flexible and happy to work with the company installing our AV system so all the design planning and scheduling was aligned. We highly recommend Core Remodeling and we look forward to doing additional home renovations with their team soon.

It's interesting to see positive reviews commenting on Dan's pricing and work quality. After…read moreterminating my most recent project with Dan, I hired other contractors to finish the job. This made me realize that excellent workmanship can easily be found for more reasonable pricing. The starting point for my project was an already gutted space consisting of a former walk-in closet and a large bathroom. The goal was to make the bathroom smaller so the closet area could function as an extra bedroom. For privacy reasons, the new bedroom needed its own entrance and bathroom access, while the master bedroom required a separate bathroom entrance. After an initial consultation, Dan sent Noel to start framing the very next day. Dan did not provide even a simple sketch of the new layout and, as far as I know, did not take measurements. As a result, a framing error was made and I was charged both for the installation and the correction ($1,100/day). After a second faulty doorway was installed in the bathroom--despite my purchasing a tub Dan had recommended and sending him the specifications--I terminated the project. Correcting this error later took my husband three full days. To complete the project, we hired other professionals. For example, we hired a plumber who installed all bathroom fixtures for $2,800 (two plumbers, two days). Based on their estimate of the prior work done by Dan's plumber, the total plumbing cost would have been approximately $3,600. Dan's plumbing estimate was $7,000. We also had to pay $850 to repair and bleed the baseboard heating system after the work done by Dan's plumber. Dan's carpentry estimate also raised concerns: 15 days at $1,100 per day. When I requested a list of full carpentry days, dates when no work was performed were included, such as picking up a check or a quick consultation. If you are working with Dan, I would strongly recommend that you keep a daily log of actual work performed and ask whether short consultation visits are billed. Another frustration was Dan's repeated attempts to convince me that I needed work I had never asked for. Dan and Noel stopped by for a consultation about closets and proposed installing a walk-in closet in the master bedroom. This was surprising, given that I had previously paid them to remove the existing walk-in closet because I disliked it. I reminded them of this and indicated that I planned to purchase IKEA storage instead. Despite repeatedly expressing no interest in closet work, Dan continued suggesting that Noel come build closets. There was no proposal, no agreed scope of work, and no pricing, yet the texts kept coming ("Noel is free tomorrow and can start the closets.").
