Hired Igor this fall to repair some weathered clapboard siding and rotting wood on our home. It was…read morea pretty challenging repair as the damaged siding was high up (2-story colonial) near the peak of the house, over our garage. His communication was great--letting us know each day when he would arrive/leave, he worked long hours, was very talented in what he did, and IMHO did exceptional work. We were very happy. In our particular case, the final cost was a bit higher than the original estimate, however, it was completely understandable and I had no qualms what-so-ever (and I typically am not so easy in that department) He spent several days meticulously stripping/prepping the siding--doing the job right. He was highly reliable, seemed like a good guy, and I would highly recommend him.

We've hired several contractors over the years for a variety of projects and Colin is hands down…read morethe most knowledgeable, talented and easy to work with. We hired Colin and his team to section off part of our already finished basement to build a wine cellar. This included removing the existing walls/ceiling, framing, insulating, putting up new wall, plastering, tiling and installing a door and climate control system. Colin is very professional and tech savy. After coming to our home to discuss the project, he typed up a detailed quote/contract including a timeline with estimated dates of completion for various tasks. He was in constant communication throughout the project via phone, text and email (whether it be about arrival times, project related decisions or summarizing the status). We were impressed by his and his subcontractors quality of work and friendliness. He is detail oriented and cares about how the job looks. For example, to save money, we told him that we would do the painting. However, as the project progressed, he wanted to make sure the caulking on the baseboard looked right, so he primed the entire room at no extra cost. He is also just a caring person. While he and his plumber were working in our mechanical room, they noticed a major issue with our furnace which was potentially releasing carbon monoxide into our home. He and his plumber addressed the issue, even going as far as calling the manufacturer of furnace to confirm the proper set-up. Before leaving for the day, he also ran to Home Depot, purchased and installed a carbon monoxide detector in that room so that we would have piece of mind. He truly went above and beyond and we are very grateful. We have already started working with Colin on another project and look forward to hiring him in the years to come.

We had just finished a kitchen remodel in January 2019 (replaced all the cabinets, countertops, and…read morelights), but the floorman we'd contracted with had left us high and dry. We had subfloor and while we could have installed the new laminate floor we had, we'd have done a horrible job at it. Lou Gagne was highly recommended to us by a local business, many of whose employees had used his services. We gave him a call that evening. He came out to see us a couple days later and we discussed what had to be done. Install the laminate floor throughout the kitchen, dining room, and attached hallway, install baseboard everywhere but the kitchen, and install threshold where required. He said it would take two days and gave us a reasonable price. OK, so that's the background. Here's what we got. We got a perfectly installed floor, perfectly installed baseboard, someone who really enjoys his work (he sings to his boom box while on the job!), and he fixed some things that a previous contractor hadn't done right because it bugged him and only took a few minutes. The join between the living and dining rooms is perfect. My wife and I did the living room, and not particularly well. He matched the grout lines in the laminate perfectly. In the kitchen he got the laminate floor so close to the cabinets it looks like the floor goes under the cabinets. His idea of using gray grout was perfect as it matches the grout lines in the floor. These walls in our house are not square, but you'd never know it when you look at the baseboard corners. It didn't matter whether it was an inside or outside corner, in close quarters or not, Lou did it perfectly. He also screwed our subfloor down as it wasn't correctly nailed into the joists during construction in 1986. Can you say "squeak"? Not anymore! Lou also gave us some ideas of how we're going to do the backsplash in our kitchen and behind the stove, which we're going to take him up on as soon as possible. My wife and I trust Lou completely. When he says he can do something, he can really do it. Fair price, great work, and it really gives us pride of ownership in our home again. And at some point, we're going to find a figurine that represents what he can do and how well he does it, even if we need to design it ourselves.

We hired Handy Lou to do a total gut and remodel of our 1940's Cape Cod style kitchen and couldn't…read morehave been happier! He was very accessible, always in contact with us and quick to respond whether we reached out by phone, text, email, etc. His rate was more than fair, and totally transparent for all costs that would be involved. He really helped us plan and basically hand hold and walk us through the entire process from conceptualizing our options, where to buy materials, even color and design recommendations. He gave us an aggressive time window for job completion which was important to us with the Holidays looming; and he nailed it - finishing with time to spare. The work was absolutely meticulous, and the attention to details and small nuances make such a huge difference! He even went around to touch up and improve other details around the area not in the scope of the job; just because he thought it would improve the aesthetic and he takes so much pride in his work. This guy is a real artisan - not a laborer. He genuinely enjoys crafting beautiful work and it shows. Our kitchen came out mint - better than we even expected! In all honesty, he was so good at what he does we would be willing to pay MORE to have him work on our stuff than other contractors. I can't imagine using anyone else going forward. 5 star quality all around.
