This was a fairly large project - they tore down our three-season porch and built a two-story addition. They were always incredibly respectful of the rest of our home, keeping it clean, minimizing disruption to our lives and even picking up the work site each day. They were meticulous from the planning stage to the excavation through the construction and right down to getting the putty colors right (4 different colors) in the sliding door threshold! The level of communication, detail and care they put into this project amazed me every day. The result is a beautiful new, sunny room overlooking our lake with a fabulous gym below. L&M is more expensive than others, but you can't beat the quality of their work and their professionalism. I can't wait to have them do my next project.

I must have spent two months interviewing different contractors before going with R&J. From the start to completion, the price I was quoted was the price I paid. Even through the pandemic. Along the way I was given many suggestions on how to improve my design and each recommendation I was given I went with and couldn't have been more pleased with the result. One of the most important things I want in any contractor is communication. Every text or call I made was promptly answered. This was a huge plus for me. Especially having never built a project of this scale. Btw, my project was a 26x40 3 car garage with a second level. So it was no small project. There are pictures on their faceboopage of my build and the outcome speaks for itself as to the quality and final result. I highly recommend this company to anyone looking to build. I already know that going forward, this is the company I am going with.

Big Island Pond Remodeling & Replacement Specialists started with us by way of coming to our rescue one day, but ended up putting together show room quality work that was, and still is, the envy of our neighbors. You can stop reading right there if you like, but feel free to take a look at our journey... I first met Fred Pappalardo where he was volunteering his time and expertise with a local youth organization. I have to say, I liked him immediately, but I wasn't quite ready to take on any large projects at my Derry home. Well, winter would have something to say about that, because before I could get a handle on them, much of my home was overtaken with ice dams. Not knowing quite who to call, I called Fred for advice at first. Without hesitation Fred and his crew were at my house mitigating what had become some record-breaking ice dams. In my case the damage was extensive, but I really felt like I had a trustworthy friend in my corner to guide us through the process from insurance adjuster to full recovery. Some of the damage from the ice dams meant a bit of remodeling in our master bathroom was inevitable. Noting this was the case, my wife and I opted to move forward with a full master bath remodel we had been putting off. Fred, his wife Michelle, and the crew at Big Island Pond Remodeling approached the work with the same sense of urgency and balanced care I witnessed the first time they were at my house. For me, the real test of character in evaluating a contractor is the way they treat your home. Do they track mud in?, Do they bang walls?, Do they clean up after themselves?, Can you find where they took short cuts? BIP simply does it right, all the time. Today our bathroom could easily make the cover of any home improvement magazine and take top prize were it a contest of craftsmanship. If you are looking for a remodel, call Fred at Big Island Pond and tell him you want to see pictures of the remodeled bathroom from the house that had the disastrous ice dams, you'll be glad you did.

Project: 12 x 20 deck build. Cost Quote: $19,100.25…read moreThe Haseltine Builders website states the following: "Open Consistent communication." - Communication was to lacking at best. Both between Haseltine and myself / and the Haseltine crew and office. "Crew Lead assigned to your project from start to finish." "Each customer meets the crew lead at the start of their project to know who will be there every step of the way." - I was never introduced to project crew lead. Never was kept informed of schedule or progress of project. "The company offers Attention To Detail on any project." - Attention To Detail was no existent. Review: The initial meeting with Nick went fine. The $19,100.25 cost seemed high to me but, upon reading the claims on their website, I decided to give Haseltine Builders a try. Once Haseltine had my deposit of $13,775.25 (100% of material & 25% of labor) things seemed to change. The build was supposed to take approx. 1 week. The "original" build did take about that, however, I was never informed that Haseltine had "completed" the deck build and regarded it as such. I subsequently received an invoice (which happened to be incorrect). I was never asked to do a walk-thru for my approval of build "completion". Upon inspection the "completed" deck, I raised concerns about the quality of the work. The wrong railings were installed, the stair build was horrible (nothing was level, all measurements were different, all cuts were terrible). These were just the main issues. The more I looked, the more I found. The original deck build was horrible and trying to fix it was like putting lipstick on a pig. I had Nick Haseltine come out to walk through the construction issue. Nick did agree with every issue that was pointed out to him. I still think these issues should not have had to be pointed out by me. These issues were apparent and should have been identified & addressed by Haseltine before they considered the build complete. In any case, Nick asked me to give him a chance to make right, which I did. He had another crew come out to try and fix all the issues with the stairs (among other things). They tried to do so but the original stair build, (which they tried to pass off as complete), was so bad they decided to demolish the "original" stairs and rebuild them from scratch. Nick did try to make it right but never inspected the quality of the work which led to me having to keep point out the poor quality workmanship. (which led to more corrections). I believe someone from Haseltine should have been checking the quality of work, making sure it was up to the "attention to detail" they claim to have. I was very accommodating to Haseltine Builders. I supplied a portable bathroom (at my expense) for his workers on the first build. I left out a cooler with water for his workers (days were hot) during the second build. I got very frustrated but was always cordial to Haseltine Builders and their employees. I could go on and on about the issues on this project. I never have received an apology from anyone at Haseltine Builders for my time & inconvenience in dealing with all the horrible build issues and shoddy workmanship. A one week deck build ended up being almost 2 months of frustration. I finally got fed up with having Haseltine come back out to "fix" the issues because every time they would say they were complete, inspection of the "completed" work resulted in more issues. I was not going to write a review, however, I decided to do so. I felt the need to warn any of you thinking about hiring Haseltine Builders. At this point, I would not hire Haseltine builders to build a sandbox for me, if I needed one. IF YOU READ THIS REVIEW AND STILL DECIDE TO HIRE HASELTINE BUILDERS FOR YOUR PROJECY(S), BE AWARE. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
