Once again Adam/ AQM and his team have done outstanding…read moremasonary work on my home. Adam's team just regrouted a stone retaining wall, repaved my driveway and added a cobblestone apron and border to the driveway. Adam recommended topping my retaining wall with bluestone rather than cement. Aesthetically, the entire look is 100% improved in two days of efficient and spotless work by the crew! On discussion of the project, Adam recognized and addressed that my town required a permit for the cobblestone apron portion. Work started within a week of the permit. FYI: Adam is extremely responsive to text messaging with questions and concerns. I highly recommend AQM Masonry & Contracting. PC, a returning client.

I interviewed a few masonry companies for repairing spalling brick in my basement. Some wanted to…read moreparge the walls, which was not what I wanted. Some quoted me fairly high prices for the repair, but Martin Forde offered me the best, and most reasonable cost for the job. During our interview Martin struck me as a competent, and fair mason and he is responsive by email, which are valuable traits in a contractor. We scheduled the job, and he and his team showed up right on time. The first thing I learned is that Forde masonry may not have a full time staff. Martin definitely came out to my job periodically to deliver materials, but the masons who did the work were actually two latinos who seemed to be day laborers. They were competent, and very polite as I asked questions in my broken Spanish, but that makes accountability a little more difficult. That became a problem when I was in the basement with another contractor, and I saw one of the mason repairing a hole that was two withes thick. He was just repairing the outward face that I could see, but leaving a whole in the second layer. I asked him about it, so he dropped some mortar into the hole, a few bricks, and kept on with his repair. Yes, it visually looks fine and I would not have noticed if I were not watching as the hole was getting closed up, but that is not what I expect when I hire a professional mason to repair my walls. My job is done though, and I hopefully will not need masonry help for a while. Most of the issues I had are easily fixed with a little more attention to detail, and oversight, so I would encourage others to give Martin a chance if you need masonry help.

Tl;dr Professional process and great attention to detail, but priced out of small projects with…read morecontract inconsistencies. From the photos, their work looks excellent. One of the main reasons I almost chose them was the uniform spacing between the tiles in their portfolio, which showed a high level of precision. I got quotes from three different companies, and Premier Pavers was about $4k higher than the middle priced. I was still inclined to go with them initially because I appreciated their approach to the quoting process and their clear attention to detail. Where everything fell apart was during final negotiations. I explicitly asked for an all-inclusive price, but when the final contract arrived, it still called out items that were not included. I ended up hiring another contractor who was roughly 60% cheaper. If you have a large project and a flexible budget, Premier Pavers might be a solid pick because they are good with documentation and detailing. However, for smaller projects, they are likely not worth the high price tag

I appreciated their responsiveness and the coordination between the design team, installation project manager, and the install crew.

My wife and I hired Northwoods to build an addition to our house in Wakefield, MA. We had a set of…read moreplans from an architect, so we just needed construction services, no design services. Both John S. and Clint K. were easy to work with during the estimate phase and provided an approximate start month which they stuck too once the contract was signed. All phases of the construction were done efficiently and fluidly. There was very little downtime in between trades and they found ways to keep progress through a New England winter. The employees of Northwoods were all skilled, courteous, and clean. They performed some amazing tile and carpentry work and all the other subcontractor trades they brought in, from the framers to the plasterers, painters, plumber, electrician, insulation, landscape/hardscaping, etc. were all exceptional. Their project superintendent, John R, is amazing at his job and has a strong command of schedule and coordinating the trades as needed. A few small bumps along the way were all handled quickly and fairly. The finished product is amazing, and we couldn't have been happier with the end result. We would highly recommend Northwoods Builder for any size house project.
