The cost was reasonable, and we really like the fact that Eric, the "boss," was always there in person. They did a professional job, and we'd recommend them to anyone!

The team had exceptional professionalism, attention to detail, and craftsmanship. They listened to our vision for this small bathroom and they brought it to life with precision.

Thank you Gerry and Ariel!

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.

But then never responded to text messages.

Hosea's painter team did nothing short of a miracle job. Really…read more I wholeheartedly recommend you go with them. You can't go wrong. I appreciated his teams' skills and most importantly his ethics, honesty and integrity. I recruited Hosea and his team for a risky paint job due to the unusual designer type of paint we were going to use. Also, I had a very tight deadline at risk of not being able to move in. Every painters told me they needed at least 2 weeks or more to finish it, even with a 3-person teams. This even included a large national paint companies (those who specialized on commercial or corporate buildings). Hosea's team were able to finish it in just about a week or slightly more, allowing me to move in right in time. I used a designer paint complex to handle and prone to mistake from inexperienced painters with this particular paint. As expected, they made a mistake, but owned it without creating difficulties. The end result ended up very fan-tas-tic, above and beyond expectations. And the pricing (certainly not cheap) was rightly fair and quite reasonable I think. I am so glad I selected Hosea for this impossible mission job. It was a total success. Attached are photos before/after the job. Paint was from Farrow & Ball with the exception of the windows trim (Sherwin Williams).

In one, she created a beautiful, thoughtful design starting with a completely empty space; in the other, she helped refine and enhance the design of my home using some existing furniture and recommending new pieces where needed.

We hired Abacus to assist our condo association with infrastructure improvements. The owner, Mark…read moreLittle, visited our site personally. He inspected the grounds to assess current conditions as well to evaluate our needs. He was a good listener and made several suggestions to improve our site. Once we came to a decision as to the scope of work we wanted, Mark thoroughly explained to us the process going forward and what we could expect. He explained how weather could impact the work, as well as what our owners could reasonably expect to encounter vis a vi access to the property during the process. He also gave us an accurate estimate of the time it would take to complete the job. Weather did in fact impact the job. Abacus communicated well and we were able to inform the owners in a timely manner of the pending delay and no one was negatively impacted by the delay. The delay was brief and the job was completed on time. Our place looks better than ever. Our drainage issues have been solved. We couldn't be happier with the end result. It was a pleasure working with Mark. He has an easygoing manner. And unlike other companies we spoke with regarding the job, he didn't try to up-sell us. He is seasoned professional and we won't hesitate to call him again when the need arises.

Every morning directly on the dot and often before 7am, they start drilling and sawing metal, running loud vacuums, and leaving snow blowers running idle for 30 mins at a time. They treat E st., a public road, as a shop yard, scattering tools and holding morning meetings in the middle of the street. They also park their vehicles illegally on too of my building's sidewalk here. Additionally, the spanish-speaking gentlemen are exceptionally loud & often their voices are my entire building's alarm clock. The level of disrespect is egregious and it needs to stop or my review stands.

But once we had paid a retainer and had them working on a quote for the rebuild of a historical deck, they were unresponsive and communication was non existent. We hand-held them through the application process but they didn't listen to our explanation. The "contract" they sent us to sign was incomplete, missing entire sections and had errors, which we had to point out. Still they didn't revise it. They refused to let us review materials prior to submission to the Historical Commission, which was required given the historic designation of the house. Kept insisting they knew better and had experience working with historical commissions. Their quote for custom rebuild of the railings and columns was so overpriced, that even the Historical Commission staff was astounded. Finally they pulled out of the contract because their Commission application was about to be scrutinized, and they had a lot of work ahead. They did return a nominal amount of the retainer to us. The company had come highly recommended, yet our experience with them was sub par.

He provided me with several options to choose from so I could suit my budget, and was more than happy to answer my questions (which, as a new homeowner, there were a lot of). The quality of work is great, and he worked fast. The entire job was done in two days. Really, just one and a half. Along the way, ther were multiple little examples of Jermaine going above and beyond to make sure something was done right for the long term. I feel confident in the work and will be contacting Jermaine in the future for any additional work we do.

Brutal experience with them back in 2022-2024. Would take weeks and, more than once, even months…read moreto get them to come back and do any work (see screenshots of my text interactions with them -- note the dates). 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.

I am only afraid that this recommendation might make him too busy for further work I may need.
