We hired Mike White (DBA Island Carpentry) to build an addition on our place in Topsham. It was a…read moremistake. We were out of town when much of the work was done, but should have been on site to supervise. Although I told Mike 3 times in person and once in an email to be careful to restore the sewer line after digging the additional foundation, he never told the foundation crew. When we came back to Maine and used the plumbing waste water backed up into the basement through the washing machine drain pipe. I told Mike that they had likely not restored the sewer link. Mike had his guys use a little rented digger, but they claimed they found no pipe. Then he had his plumber check the line with a probe and claimed we had jammed the line with paper towels. After two weeks of backups he finally got the foundation crew back and they found the shattered sewer line. Mike had to rip up the subfloor to put in a new pipe. He acted like it was an imposition on his crew's time to make the repair. The foundation crew said he had never told them to watch out for any pipes. When I said how would all that corrective work be paid for, he told me not to worry, it was still below his estimate for foundation work. His billing was a lump sum by stages, and I am sure we paid for his crew to fix their mistake. The plans clearly showed the new front porch entry was designed to come straight out towards the street, he built the steps coming down to the right side altering the symmetry. The plans also called for an overhang to keep us dry while unlocking the door. We got home in time to notice there was no overhang and requested one be built. Mike was clearly not happy. There are gaps in the trim, small areas of missing wall board on the inside of closets, two lengths of trim only partially fastened and other small flaws. His crew piled up the fiberglass insulation in the attic to add braces to the roof and run pipe vents etc. I discovered that they never replaced the insulation. What prompted me to write this review is that a year after the job was finished we discovered a leak where the new roof joins the old one. I made several attempts to call and email Mike but he never had the courtesy to respond. This failure to take responsibility for another bit of shoddy work was the last straw.

We worked with O'Shea Builders for what would have been several small jobs. However, our primary…read morejob, a waterfall inside our house, turned out to be much more extensive than both we and O'Shea anticipated. Due to upper deck flashing that had been incorrectly installed by the prior owners, water had seeped into the walls and caused extensive damage. Jeff, the O'Shea foreman in charge, a contractor in his own right, and the person who did the vast bulk of the work, was extremely knowledgeable and accommodating of our needs, as well as professional and exacting in the work. He and Warren O'Shea, the owner, offered us several alternatives of varying prices in terms of how to deal with the issues involved, and gave us the pros and cons of each alternative. The damage was addressed extremely competently and thoroughly, and a significant rainfall that occurred within a week of the job being finished showed that our interior waterfall was now gone and that has been the case since the job was finished. The other jobs within the house, cited in our home inspection, were also addressed quickly and resolved beautifully. As a side note, I would like to address hiring contractors generally, having been through seven major jobs through the years. I got what I view as excellent advice from the first two contractors I worked with. The first advice was to be aware that no contractor can see behind walls (our house was almost 100-years old at that time,) and once they break through the walls, they have to deal with what's there - and that means that if, for example, electrical wiring isn't up to code, they are legally required to bring it up to code, and doing so almost always is going to add to the cost of the job. The second piece of advice was that our quote was very specifically based on what we'd told the contractor we wanted/needed and that *ANY* changes would likely result in additional costs, so we have always been extremely careful to know exactly what we wanted beforehand and to never have changed the scope of the job. In conclusion, we were more than satisfied with O'Shea and will certainly call on them for any future work. They are exceptional - as in great - to deal with on all levels.

My wife and I used O'Shea Builders LLC to work on our lake home in Standish, ME. Warren O'Shea bid…read moreapproximately $180,000 for the job. The final price came in over $300,000 and at the end of the job he chose to not complete the job. The work done was good, but his price was so far over what he quoted it made for a very unsatisfied customer. In addition he didn't finish the job when he said he would, which was sometime mid April to early May. He stopped working in early June and as I said before he chose not to complete the job leaving me kind of stranded. My suggestion when working with O'Shea Builders LLC is make him sign a contract where his price is his price, not this contractor mumbo jumbo excuse laden "Not my fault, man".
