Initial calls for gut kitchen and adjacent bathroom renovation + removal of load bearing wall went…read morewell with Sabrina and Ray - they assured us they have done many similar projects in the area successfully and on time. From the many positive and detailed yelp/google/houzz/angi reviews that had great end result pictures, we were convinced to move forward. Sabrina turned around the estimate for labor and some materials allowance quickly along with separate helpful tiered pricing guidance PDFs for kitchen and bathroom finishes to be purchased separately. Tile guidance was a bit off and a few categories like vanity, counter, mirror, light fixture in bathroom and plumbing for kitchen were missing. Vendors showed us finishes across all price tiers so it took us an extra week to finalize selections. Unfortunately we were told this delayed the project by a month. We were asked to wait on the kitchen design until after the engineering work for removal of the load bearing wall and addition of shear walls. Since we had a choice on the location of the shear walls, we preferred to do the design in tandem. I used cabinets.com to create my own rendering of the kitchen layout we wanted and provided them the full dimensions. The day before the approved structural wall work was to begin they sent their own drawing which had the wrong wall locations. After talking to both David and Dayna we realized her and the designer were not brought up to speed on the engineering work. Dayna then setup a productive Zoom call with the designer directly and we got my drawing to be updated with a few suggestions and required spacing and panels. The biggest mistake in the project came from one of their subcontractors employees who removed the plastic cover over our basement sink and cleaned off tools and plaster in it clogging the drain. Bay State quickly sent the drywall guy back over to unclog it. The project took just under 4 months to complete. Bay State and their subcontractors apart from the sink issue did not cut corners, often went above and beyond, and completed top quality finishes. No up-charge on materials was another big positive. The actual work done by the plumber (Mr Fix-It), electrician (Marcus Quintino), tile guys, drywall guy, cabinets guys, floor guys, and painters (AJA Painting) was excellent and we are very happy with our new space. Marcio was the MVP of their team - always calm, listened attentively to our many questions, provided great suggestions, and constantly asked the subcontractors to clean up. If they forgot, he cleaned up himself. His wife also worked tirelessly all day cleaning up at the end of the project. Things constantly move around and change during construction and it was difficult to get a clear picture of the plan each day. Andreina and at the start Dayna heard from us every week and always answered the phone and tried their best to chase down answers from others and get us the latest information. The billing process is very straightforward and Andreina provided further detail on line items as needed. Jose was always positive and happy to pass along feedback from us to the office when he swung by. Sabrina provided helpful guidance at the start in choosing our cabinets, counters, and hardware. David continually helped move the project along and has ensured everything is to our liking while encouraging us to pass along any punch list items. I would recommend Bay State for their quality of work, integrity, and communication. My main constructive feedback is on the design process and keeping everyone in sync throughout the project on the latest information.

I called into Paraiso General Construction today to potentially schedule contractor services for one of the units that we help manage. As soon as I called in and mentioned where I was calling from, I was promptly told not interested and was hung up on. Unfortunately, this makes me believe that we were rejected due to the clients that we serve. In seeing the previous reviews of the company, I'm sure that they offer great work and I hope it was just a miscommunication. However, it's really disappointing to be rejected for an initial conversation and not given the opportunity to even explain the nature of my call.

Most significantly, he finished our attic space to turn it into a play area for our children. The results were beautiful, and I really appreciated his attention to detail - for example, he pointed out that putting nice molding above the door to the space would make the area look much more finished and in the character of the rest of our (older) home. Roberto is always cheerful - he's a pleasure to have around (during the attic project, he was hanging out with us every day, and my toddlers were ready to adopt him into the family!). He responds to texts promptly, communicates well throughout the project, and hires quality subcontractors when necessary. We're going to try a bathroom with him next, because I've seen photos of what he's doing around town, and they look great!

We used Dishington Construction to remodel our kitchen, master bathroom, laundry room, deck, living room, hallway, dining room and den. Our experience was overwhelmingly positive. Nate is really in the business of building trust by doing exactly what he says all the time. He has created a truly wonderful customer experience by using modern on-line based project management practices, professional communication, and a transparent specification and budgeting process. The quality of work is outstanding. Every sub-contractor we interacted with had great relationships with Nate and followed the methodology he set out. Our house was cleaned as much as possible every night, and every effort was made for us to be able to function during the construction. Sub-contractors had clear instructions and procedures to follow when they had questions or encountered unforeseen problems. Nate was at the site often, solving and preventing problems. When issues arose, Nate provided several solutions based on our goals and budget and let us decide what to do. Also, there were virtually no "down days" where we were waiting for sub-contractors to finish work, as Nate had organized everything so that the project finished as scheduled. We were lucky enough that our also wonderful designer referred Nate to us, and we enthusiastically recommend Dishington Construction for any project. We will definitely be using Nate in the future.

We bought a house in Belmont, MA that Nate Dishington and Co. gut renovated less than a year prior…read more Nate was hired by the previous owners, who had renovated the house with the idea to live in it themselves but ended up moving out of state for a new job. On the surface, the renovations looked/look beautiful. We were wowed and stretched ourselves financially to buy the house. However, within one week after moving in (July 2018), we noticed that the foyer ceiling immediately beneath the 2nd floor master bathroom shower was wet and that the paint was starting to fall off. We immediately contacted Nate Dishington. He admitted that the bathroom tiler he used to work with did poor quality work and that Nate let him go. Despite that admission, he essentially abdicated all responsibility for the shower leak other than to have his new shower guy come by to do some superficial caulking (Nov 2018). Meanwhile, the paint in the foyer continued to bubble and fall off. In Jan 2019, we hired another contractor to take a look. When the new contractor opened up the foyer walls, the inside was completely wet and mold had grown. In the following days (this past week), we have had to rip out all the tile on the floor and lower third of the master shower. Turns out that there is no shower pan or rubber at the base. Nate's company used some red waterproofing paint (?Redgard) at the seams, but it was clear that the waterproofing paint did not fully cover the wall when the demo guys removed the tiles (very little red color to be seen, it was only visible in the corners). The new contractor said the quality was definitely not up to standard for the industry. Regardless of what the contractor's opinion is, the most damning evidence is that the shower is leaking within a year of its completion. When we informed Nate about the situation, he expressed his condolences but abdicated all responsibility for the shower leak. To add to our pain, we are now finding out that a second shower (also done by Nate's company) is also leaking. There is a water stain forming in the ceiling of the kitchen just beneath the shower. The second shower was also done by the same bathroom tiler... We are reeling financially, emotionally, and with the time and effort we are spending on these problems, etc.--all because of the poor quality work done by Dishington and Co. We are not only disturbed by the substandard work, but also by Nate Dishington's unprofessionalism in providing no warranty on his work. It is clear that the two leaking showers (within a year of the job being completed) is entirely a problem with the workmanship, not wear and tear. The only way the showers wouldn't leak is if we did not use them...! I am concerned about what else we will find wrong in this house that we have lived in for only six months. I would advise others to steer clear of hiring Dishington Construction.

The deck replacement was done professionally, with great communication, transparency, and in a timely fashion. I felt blessed to have been introduced to Tracey by a consultant after having a prior traumatizing experience with a prior contractor. Anytime I had questions or concerns, Tracey would promptly respond. If she didn't know the answer, she referred me to a person who would know. It's rare that contractors, by default, provide a breakdown of costs the way S&H does and anytime I had a question about an entry, it was responded to promptly. I'd much prefer to get a detailed breakdown, then just scant numbers lumping labor, materials, type of materials, warranty, etc all together. The S&H estimate, billing, and contracts were very professional and detailed. The final overall cost was actually a little bit lower than the estimate, which I really appreciated. The estimate was reasonable, and with the level of detail, was easy to cross reference costs. Tracey's transparency, communication, attention to concerns, and follow through added to the overall positive experience.

The project was executed seamlessly and Wander kept communication open with us the entire time. He was proactive in telling us that a few extra days were needed to complete the project. We couldn't be more happy with the results! His team went above and beyond, even touching up and painting different spots inside and outside the house that weren't originally in scope, at no extra cost. The team kept a clean work environment and left no trace that they were even in our home. When a few minor issues were identified post-project, Wander was quick to address them.
