I had JP O'Brien replace my service riser after a fallen tree branch damaged it. They did a great…read morejob - very careful and conscientious. I never had to make a request more than once (to remind them), and the ladder they used even had those soft feet at the end so it didn't bang against the side of my house. I also didn't see any of the small mistakes that I find contractors often make (eg trampling something I asked them to avoid). Oh and their price was lower than others I had gotten estimates from.

I'm very pleased with JP O'Brien Electric. It was easy to schedule with them and they arrived…read morepromptly and worked efficiently (not my experience with other electricians!). First Dave came to give me a quote, outlining a few different options depending on which hardware I wanted. He was patient in addressing my questions about brands and fire code. Then Rob came to do the actual work. I was impressed he laid out a sheet and used tool attachments to capture debris and dust from cutting open the walls. He also patiently answered my questions before leaving the place spotless. I will be calling this company the next time I need an electrician.

Jason of Beverly Craftsman Home Services was very helpful.

The National Grid gentleman arrived in less than an hour from notification. His first question: do you have a humidifier? Answer: yes. Turns out the gas flame was being affected by the minerals in the humidifying mist changing the flame's color to orange. I shut off humidifier and shortly thereafter the color of the gas flame had returned to its normal blue color. Thanks, Jason.

As my washing machine drained on Sunday afternoon, the standpipe turned into a veritable fountain…read morewith water going everywhere. My husband tried snaking it and thought he had broken up the clog. Alas, when I turned the washer back on, Mount Vesuvius again erupted. I knew I needed a professional. At 8:10am Monday, my husband phoned Dash Drains and told them we needed the main line unclogged. We were told someone would be there between 10 and 12. At 10:10, Sam arrived. Within the hour, he had disposed of the tree roots that were blocking the drain, cleaned up the basement, and was ready to roll. The cost for the service call was more than reasonable. Not only am I back to doing laundry, we can shower without fear of the toilet bubbling over, run the dishwasher and not worry about flooding the kitchen. Thank you, Sam and Dash Drains. You did a spectacular job.

They are competitive in pricing and take the time to do the work right. I was told they'd be there on that day at 7am and it wasn't even 7:01 when I saw them in driveway ready to go!! They were professional, they interacted with my 2 year old daughter who was just in awe of the process. I can't say enough about this company. I'm a smaller, residential property, but they are for the every day family. They worked endlessly to get it just right in a very tight area on the side of the garage- you could tell they were making it perfect as if it was their own home. Very appreciative in the job they did, their honesty, efficiency and no "BS" like other companies I've talked to.

He didn't buy anything but did leave with a catalog. They are very friendly there, knowledgeable, and helpful. Great definition of a well run local business.

It's pretty expensive stuff but that's because it's high quality and many are made in the area. They also have a bathroom and will let you use it (unlike the Visitors Center/Chamber of Commerce!)

I recently chose John P Insulation to do my Mass Save insulation upgrade due to the number of…read morepositive reviews they have. I needed to get my attic's plywood floor removed before they could add insulation, and John P Insulation said they could remove it for me and would quote me a price for that separately from the Mass Save project. They sent Eric out to my house to look at the attic and he said it was pretty straightforward and that I should expect a quote very soon. Fast forward to the day before they were scheduled to come out and actually do the job, and I still had no quote to remove the plywood despite having followed up a couple of days prior via phone asking about the quote. I called them and cancelled the job, and I had Mass Save assign me to a different contractor.
