I hired them to renovate my bathroom after Luis told me they had a licensed plumber and an amazing…read moretile guy. Well, the plumber and tile guy were one and the same and the day they were starting the tile, they opened up a brand new tile cutter out of the box and started reading the instructions. They used a piece of cardboard as a spacer, so as soon as it got wet, the spacing started to get funky. I also laid out a mock-up on my kitchen table of how each row of tile was to line up that they completely disregarded after the first wall was done. I came home for lunch one day and they had installed the bullnose upside down! They also used the wrong blade for the tile cutter because all the cut edges are raggedy. I'm going to have to pay someone to redo most of it one day, which will involve me replacing the expensive Italian tiles. Aside from the horrible tile work, the window casing looks like it was put together with scraps of trim and they painted everything with a roller and didn't full nail holes before doing so. They also damaged the new tub when installing the drain and damaged some tiles installing some fixtures. The drain line to the sink was installed too high, so until we can get a plumber to come in and repair it, we had to bend the metal and tape it all together temporarily just to get the drain to open and close all the way. Finally, we keep finding set screws on the floor and fixtures keep coming apart (faucet handles will come off in your hand, towel bars come loose from the wall, etc). I never pick the cheapest contractor but Luis and Antonio assured me I'd be pleased with the final product. It looks like I did it myself and I am not handy!

Boston Exterior Remodeling is as good as it gets. When the city inspector came to sign off on our…read moreproject, he told us: "I was a contractor for 20 years before becoming an inspector, and you don't see superb work like this anymore. You are very fortunate." We could not agree more. BER transformed our 130-year-old home with extraordinary skill and care. They stripped the old shingles and clapboards, applied multiple layers of protective barrier to the original walls, and installed new state-of-the-art composite clapboards and cedar shingles. The bottom course of shingles was individually notched to replicate the original detail, and the dentil molding was reconstructed by hand. The team also completely rebuilt our bays in PVC that, once painted, is indistinguishable from wood. Every line, corner, and transition is precise. They worked through extraordinary conditions--from 10-degree winter days to 100-degree summer heat--without ever compromising their focus, craftsmanship, or attention to detail. Joe Danz oversaw the project closely from start to finish. He communicated warmly and consistently with the three homeowners in our building, accommodated additional requests fairly, and remained committed to the work until every detail was right. Our neighbors--including two architects--stopped to admire the workmanship as the project progressed. Our home has been restored to its original beauty with durable materials and craftsmanship that should last far beyond the current owners. We are deeply grateful to Joe and his outstanding team at Boston Exterior Remodeling. They exceeded our expectations in every way.

I wholeheartedly recommend All Solutions Home Services. Michael and Tom are terrific. They seem to…read moreknow how to do almost anything! The great variety of jobs they did for me were done quickly, thoughtfully and expertly. They were recommended to me by a friend to do a variety of time sensitive jobs at the end of a major renovation of our tenant unit in our two family in Watertown. Their jobs included tiling of a newly installed kitchen, installed and encasing a vent to the exterior for an in-unit washer drier, installed a built-in mirror cabinet in a bathroom, and installed a new, wider basement door. While they were there they ended up solving a variety of additional problems - temporarily removed some kitchen cabinetry and door trim to enable delivery of a new refrigerator, plastered and painted a removed cabinet area, strengthened the steps into my basement, etc. Throughout the process Michael and Tom communicated super well, pointing out options in how to proceed, made suggestions for sequencing of projects for better outcomes, kept us up to date regarding progress to completion dates, etc. They took meeting their commitments to completion dates super seriously, working extra hours and weekends when they ran into unexpected complications, and checking in with me to make sure I was happy with things along the way. I general contracted our renovations (what was I thinking...) over three months and observed and had personal experience with each of the contractors we used. Some looked great, and ended up being hard to work with, expensive and underdelivered. Michael and Tom were the opposite. While they may appear more low key and not as polished as some, they were probably the most effective, professional and responsible of all the people I hired. I am hiring them for a number of additional things. These guys rock - I recommend them to all my friends and neighbors.

There were sections of drywall…read moreand baseboards that needed to be replaced, I wanted the countertop replaced on the bathroom vanity and change the tile backsplash in the kitchen. They were very responsive to my messages on yelp. They also talked to my building manager to work out permits for plumbing. We had some miscommunication about the estimate but we ironed that out. They came to demo the old tile and then the problems started. First they were stuck at another job site, then they had another client with an emergency, so there several days when I waited all day for them to not show up. They did work late to finish the drywall and baseboards in time for the painters. The plumber who they contracted to do the vanity was great. I wish they had just told me from the start that this tile job was out of their league. Instead, Mike spent several days of hard work and long hours trying very hard but the result just wasn't great. He ripped out and re-tiled sections to try to fix it. , it just didn't work out with the tile, and I'm having to repay to have it redone.

He was willing and able to work on a very tight timeline with our move in date just a week or so after I contacted him. They refinished the floors of our entire house, 2 stories and the stairs.

We were moving from Boston to…read moreHarvard and had about 6 weeks between closing and when we had to move to do a bunch of work on the new house. Ozzie did so much more than just the floors for us. Every time we mentioned another project, he quickly would say "we do that", and indeed he and his workers not only did the work, but did it quickly, with high quality, great communication, timeliness and of course a great price. Just to summarize what they did: 1) Sanded, stained and new poly on all of the wood floors (a lot of square footage). We did provincial stain with satin finish poly and they are gorgeous. 2) complete interior painting of all walls, ceiling, trim, doors, closets 3) sanded and refinished the kitchen cabinets to make the tired old wood cabinets have a completely new life.. (this is an incredible option to quickly and inexpensively give your old kitchen a completely new feel). He used a different white enamel and removed all the knobs and hinges and then reattached everything for a very custom look. He also did the same for the first floor bathroom and it looks AMAZING. 4) put down new slate tile in the kitchen and bathroom (previously was older linoleum). The dark grey natural stone looks beautiful with the white counters and new paint job. 5) installed new backsplash subway tile. Overall we could not be happier. His price was. Fantastic, and Ozzie is a genuinely good guy with a great crew. We will absolutely continue to work with him on future projects and have recommended him to my brother and fiends already.

My husband and I…read moreare in the process of renovating our kitchen, and have had the unpleasant experience of working with contractors who have (at best) delayed the project by weeks, and (at worst) never returned our phone calls after sending us a quote. Our experience with Bright Painting was exactly the opposite: From the very start, Arthur was extremely pleasant, and promptly returned our phone calls, scheduled times to come over, and returned an estimate. Impressively, they are super punctual -- when Arthur says "We'll be there by 8:30," they are there at 8:30! They also were EXTREMELY patient and amiable throughout all the delays/setbacks we faced from the other contractors. They had pulled and refinished our cabinet faces and we had to reschedule with them several times because we had issues with the contractors doing our counters. Bright Painting was easy to get a hold of, and easy to reschedule with. And, importantly, their work is top notch! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Bright Painting or hire them in the future!

US Bright Painting is wonderful! I used Celso and his staff for the first house we bought in…read moreWinchester and called on them six years later when we moved to Arlington.

Celso uses quality paint products, always shows up on time and checks in to make sure we are happy with the progress etc. They are respectful, courteous and leave the work area clean and secure. Although I have found all their painters to be considerate, it is worth noting that US Bright Painting has female painters on staff. I found this particularly helpful when we used them for a recent upstairs project and our daughters still needed to access their room. Sarah Arlington, MA
