He communicated with us throughout the project of installing a new Timberteck deck. His crew worked straight on through from start to finish without empty lapses of time. The men are so highly skilled. We continue to be happy with our beautiful deck. Therefore, we asked Ruy to install a Timberteck stair rail at our front doors, which also has withstood the test of time. We'd been concerned that installments like this would compromise the brick, whereby requiring a total rebuild, but a rebuild wasn't necessary. He also advise us on an easy and effective fix to divert water from flowing from the gutter and freezing to ice on those brick steps in winter. Based on the outcome of these projects, and our experience in their progression, we highly recommend this company.

They were supposed to build a new rubber roof. It started leaking on 3 separate occasions (which btw was never fully fixed -- we moved on to different contractors who did address the issues). And like I said, it would take months for them to actually come back and attempt to fix anything. Often they'd come by, look at the damage, then I wouldn't hear from them for multiple weeks. Meanwhile, more damage continues to accrue to the walls and ceilings. The internal fixes they applied for the water damage were just patch jobs. They just plastered and painted over. Meanwhile, the insulation behind the wall was soaked and accrued black mold that we had to address later. Also worth pointing out a major blunder at the beginning of the project (see attached videos and pics). They opened up the roof, and left it open for multiple days without doing any work. Well of course a major rainstorm came by (which was on the weather forecast well in advance). Alll that water poured into the house in the middle of the night setting off fire alarms. It was a nightmare to deal with on my end.

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 speak with some experience working with contractors as a former interior designer. Alex is simply the Best of the best! Providing guidance, attention to detail, reliability, and a good dose of compassion with his kind and gentle character, he puts your mind at ease with assurance of making things right -- to your satisfaction. He and his subcontractors will definitely go the extra mile for you!! He was willing to work WITH us and we communicated daily on project updates. Our project was complex and personally disruptive - a master bathroom, dressing room, and bedroom and involved all trades which Alex coordinated as well. Of course we were nervous, but we soon realized we could fully relax. All areas accessing the project space were kept clean and undamaged. We had some change orders/additions to the project space (radiant floor heat and shiplap) and never worried about the budget because Alex was very reasonable and always worked with us. Our project was completed in 3 months and while very happy with the results, we are sad not to greet Alex as he comes in the door at 8:00 AM each morning with his cheerful demeanor while we read the paper. There were never any issues around communicating, punch lists, or payments - no need to worry about confrontations. We really look forward now to having Alex come back to do some other projects, as does our daughter - inside and outside our home. I'm sure you will too! read more

Alex and his team are highly skilled and professional. We recently had part of our house wood siding replaced. Alex explained to me what needs to be done and suggestions to prevent water damage in the future. The team arrived on the promised date and finished the job in three days. At every stage Alex explained to me what he is doing and why certain things need to be done. Alex personally was present at the job and supervised his team. The team cleaned up the job site every day. I have worked with several contractors over the past 40 years. Alex and his team were the best. Their attention to detail and professional approach was simply outstanding. Alex had taken the time to understand the job before he gave me a quotation. The final cost of the project did not exceed the quotation. Mahmood A. Framingham read more

Alex and his crew repainted the exterior of our house and did an amazing. job. The first step was analyzing the exterior to determine areas that needed repair before paint. Alex identified areas of the body of the house and trim that need replacing and they then renovated both to expertly match the original finish. They then painted the house with a Benjamin Moore variant that greatly improved the look of the exterior. All of this was done in a very professional manner and our house has never looked better. I will definitely work with Alex again and he has my highest recommendation. Thank you so much to Focus Remodeling. Five + stars. read more

The on-site manager, Jonathan, was great, and they gracefully and quickly responded to additional requests and changes of plans we requested, including entirely changing one of the windows. Even our neighbor reached out to tell us how nice and respectful they were and asked us how we found them. The answer is that I just saw that they were well-reviewed on Yelp, so I'm adding my review here too. Their pricing was very reasonable, and their work was exceptional. They replaced a shower system, which involved breaking existing tile and seamlessly re-tiling the affected section after the new shower was installed. During the process, they covered the opening with plastic so we could continue using the shower (even though it only took a couple of days). The re-tiled area blends perfectly with the rest of the shower (see attached pic). You'd never know it was repaired. They also repaired significant water damage from burst pipes, replacing and adding insulation and drywall, installed recessed lighting with dimmers, replaced a window and glass shower doors, swapped out an awkward set of swinging bathroom doors for a proper door, and took care of several long-overdue household repairs. Everything was completed quickly, quietly, and efficiently. If we ever need renovations in the future, we'll definitely be using them again.
