- Very disappointing experience…read more I had a gate installed by International Ornamental Iron Works, and the quality has been extremely disappointing. The gate began rusting and the paint started chipping 1 year after installation. There's also a strange white residue forming on parts of the metal. I reached out several times over the course of months and was told someone would get back to me, but that never happened. No follow-up, no repair, no accountability. For the price and the promises they made about durability, this has been frustrating and a waste of money. I would not recommend this company based on my experience.

Custom machinists like Kevin are hard to find, especially with his talent.

Even though he's clearly better suited to be making amazing works of art, he took on our seemingly straightforward porch rebuild. Fortunately, his GC skills are as top-notch as his wood sculpting; there were more than a few complications on our project and he was communicative and solved each problem with aplomb. We also wanted a gate for our stairs and he delivered a beautifully crafted piece (see pic). Hope we get the chance to work with John again!

Greg Mullin turned our boring, rotting T1-11-clad house into the neighborhood showpiece in 60 days…read more To say Greg has an eye for detail is an understatement. He is a master carpenter and it shows in everything he does, just like one of the prior reviewers mentioned. And once he was done with the exterior, he designed and built a beautiful built-in bench in our front room with bookcase. (Photos to be posted shortly) He also painstaking ensured that the exterior would be properly waterproofed and was an excellent communicator for the duration of the project. Kudos to Greg for also working with us as we kept changing our mind and adding detail to the front. The results speak for themselves. Other reasons why Greg is amazing and you should hire him without a second thought (or even a second estimate): - Provided an accurate estimate for the work and stayed on budget. Extra work we wanted was done with our advance approval on a time and materials basis. - He does not impose any upcharge on materials he supplies. The materials were all direct billed to me at cost. - His guys (especially Justin) were fabulous. Not only great at carpentry, but just nice people who you don't mind lurking around scaffolding at your house. - He's not happy unless you are. Absolutely critical in someone you trust your home to. - He'll stand by his work and repair anything that fails due to workmanship. I don't know that I could recommend him more highly. You can't go wrong hiring him.

Greg Mullin and Scott Cassell recently completed framing for a 3 Story addition to my house. The…read morework included foundation anchorage, three stories of framing, window installation, and siding. I was thrilled with the quality of their work. They are master carpenters, and also strong communicators. As an architect I prepared the plans and HC Structural Engineers prepared the structural design which included a few specific connection details for large openings and two terrace decks. Greg and Scott are very competent with plans and were quick to resolve any constructability issues that arose. They prepared carefully for the necessary Department of Building Inspections, which passed, and also thought ahead to the eventual drywall and stucco work. Greg, Scott, and I had clear budget discussions before the project began and I am very pleased that they completed the scope of work exactly within the billable hours they had estimated. Working within a quoted budget and maintaining high quality craftsmanship are desirable qualities in carpenters and contractors. I would certainly hire Greg and Scott again as a homeowner, and I now frequently recommend them to clients.

We undertook a complete re-design of the bathroom, and rebuild of the kitchen going from gas to induction. Pat and his crew proved to be exceptional craftsmen who were consistently punctual, polite, clean, and communicative as we lived in our home while they did the work. On top of this the quality of the carpentry, cabinet install, plumbing, tile, electrical, and painting is all outstanding. Predictably for a house of this age, the project revealed several unexpected challenges. When these issues arose, Pat provided clear explanations of our choices and their consequences, allowing us to move forward with confidence. In addition to our stunning new spaces, the process allowed us to address hidden leaks, HVAC problems, and an electrical panel upgrade, ultimately leaving our home with much stronger infrastructure. In addition Pat and his team were super flexible and accommodating as we added in some additional work along the way. The entire project stayed within the time frame outlined in the proposal, even with the unexpected additional work. Pat is a super nice guy, be cool with him and you'll be delighted with the results. Our space has truly been transformed.

We recently completed a kitchen remodel and part of a house renovation with Dunros construction…read more Firstly, I want to say it's hard to find a contractor. We asked for several estimates and even that was difficult, as everyone had a different idea of what was even possible. But Pat from Dunros really stood out as someone who was polite, realistic, and flexible. We have only wonderful things to say about the experience. He was always creative in his solutions to our tricky kitchen/dining room renovation, which included removing a load-bearing wall. He managed to install beams below the floor that weren't there (as they should have been according to a previous renovation plan) when we opened up the floor. His team was always on time and courteous, and talking to the subcontractors (plumber, electrician, floor installation) you quickly understood they had been working together for years and had a great relationship. Pat is trustworthy and so is his team. He was very good about staying in budget and managing the twists and turns that come with any project. Another thing: our cabinet dealer was terrible, and Pat did everything to work around the problems and delays we had as a result of that bad choice. When we couldn't get replacement parts from the cabinet manufacturer in time, Pat managed to make the parts out of what we had and a lot of hard work. All this was so appreciated because we don't know what we would have done otherwise. I also want to say that Pat is a real perfectionist -- even more than we are, and it's our home he was working on! He always strived to make everything perfect, and a couple of times we had to tell him that we can't see the minor imperfection he noticed and tasked himself with fixing. Pricing was always fair and invoiced clearly. In some cases the amount ended up less than the estimate, which I have never seen before working with contractors.
