Peter Duffy's team took over the work that our previous, nightmare-of-a-contractor had started…read more From the start, Peter and his amazing crew, Oliver and Alan, showed up at our house first thing in the morning, and didn't stop until 5pm or later. They accomplished more in one week than our first crew did in 2 months. Peter was truly invested in the project, and it was clear how much he cares for his clients and his crew. Every step in the process was a collaboration: Peter scheduled appointments between us and the electrician, HVAC crew, and plumbers so we could all walk through the house together and talk through what we wanted and what would work. Peter also made suggestions throughout the process that improved the plan and house in ways that never would have occurred to us. At one point, Peter's crew had the idea to move an original built-in cabinet to another wall in order to open up the dining room to the kitchen, and it changed the entire flow of the house in the best way possible. Visitors always scratch their heads in disbelief when we tell them that the built-in was moved - they insist it looks like it has always lived in that corner of the room! Peter uses the best materials for his builds, and the finishing work is outstanding. Oliver is an incredible carpenter, so our new stairs, kitchen casework, trim around the walls and doors, and tile work in each bathroom is absolutely gorgeous. The existing walls in the house were in bad shape after we removed the wallpaper, so Peter's meticulous painting team patched and repaired all of the walls before painting. The walls are now absolutely smooth and look brand new. The few times there were issues, Peter and his crew addressed them immediately - things were corrected by the following day. Our entire project was massive, and Peter coordinated the work of all of the subcontractors seamlessly so there was never a day that no one showed up to work. Peter's prices throughout the project were also reasonable, especially for the quality of work and materials that they included. Our finished home is more beautiful than we could have ever imagined - we are beyond happy and grateful to Peter and his crew. If you've got a project coming up - no matter how big or small - Let Duffy Do It! Check out the attached social media video we made to showcase Peter's work, along with some other pictures of the finished kitchen, bathroom, and basement.

I've worked with Peter and his crew on several different projects since we have moved into our old…read morehouse. We first worked with the crew to fix our tub surround. They did an amazing job, went above and beyond what was asked. His crew was very respectful of our property, always cleaned up every single day, and most importantly was respectful in their communication and interaction with us. We had several horrible experiences with contractors previously, so we were so glad to work with a contractor who was kindhearted, honest, knowledgeable, and good at his work. Two months ago we finally pulled the trigger and added a 1/2 bath to our property. We loved working with Peter so much that we worked with him again! Small compact powder room, but it gets the job done. Overall pleased with outcome of every project. Peter was helpful in the process as he had many suggestions, ideas in bringing things together. Pricing was very reasonable compared to the 2-3 other quotes that's I've received from other contractors. I was proactive on my end on communicating exactly what the needs were for my family. Communicated timeline, expectations, and cost so that there were no surprise for the both of us. My husband and I have worked with many different contractors, and it's really difficult to come by someone who is as helpful and honest as Peter!

Eduardo's team was highly professional, kind and good hearted. His people are honest, and high quality individuals. Deeply skilled, and always smiling. Furthermore, they were kind enough to keep their dust and debris to an absolute minimum while my family and I were living through the renovation!! Thank you Eduardo and team-- we are very grateful for your help and excellent workmanship.

BBC has been able to withstand any supply chain bottlenecks by staying on the pre-determined schedule too. It's hard to find an honest team in this industry and Eduardo is one of the few I have met that breathes honesty and professionalism. Might be the two most important qualities I look for. He even answers my texts on Sundays. This is my 4th gut rehab job with Eduardo and we have a 5th gut renovation in progress too that also is moving along well in its progression.

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.

We could not possibly recommend RK Construction enough. We just completed a large project that…read moreincluded an addition, kitchen and bath renovation, heat pump system install, floor installation and refinishing, painting, and exterior work including new siding and patio. We were continuously put at ease during what should have been a completely overwhelming process by the kindness and expertise from Ralph, Manny, Mike, Tracey, and all their vendors and subcontractors. On top of providing top-tier service and doing beautiful work, RK came in under time and on budget. During the planning phase, Ralph was easy to communicate with, very detailed and patient in his explanations of the process, and presented us with exactly the design we asked for. During the construction phase, Manny served as job supervisor and was onsite every day caring for our home as though it was his own. My husband and I both work hybrid schedules and the bulk of the work was done during our daughter's summer vacation, so at least one of us was always in the way of the work being done. Manny, Mike, and everyone respected our space, cleaned the site daily, and took extra care to accommodate our needs. Manny was a wonderful partner to us throughout the process - he knew when to execute exactly what we wanted and he knew when we were indecisive or overwhelmed and how to guide us. He served as conductor and coordinator of so many moving parts and made it seem smooth and seamless. Throughout the process, we met with vendors for cabinetry, appliances, tile, countertops, and plumbing fixtures as well as their subcontractors for HVAC, electrical, plumbing, painting, tiling, and hardscaping. The respect and admiration each of them had for Ralph and all of the RK crew was evident in talking to them and served as a huge reassurance for us. We solicited quotes from three contractors. RK Construction did not come in at the lowest price. They use high-quality products and their craftsmanship is intentional and meticulous in a way that earns the higher price tag. You will not regret spending a little more when the process and results are everything you'd expect and more.

Well, I can't tell you what kind of work they do because they never bothered showing up and this is after rescheduling multiple times. I took time off from work to drive down just to meet them (and battle 2 hours of traffic). What's with these contractors doing no-shows? Business must be good to treat people like this. No, thanks. Glad they showed their colors before we engaged their services.

Kevin and his team took on a large structural and cosmetic flooring project on our old home with…read morelots of problems due to the previous owners' DIY work. Brito was on time, on budget, respectful of our home, super professional and pleasant to work with, and we were so appreciative of how communicative they were with us, texting us updates and photos throughout the process. We had several contractors prior to Brito Construction come to assess and quote this same job and we were either told that the project wasn't worth their time or wouldn't do both the structural and the finish work such as putting in the flooring. We had lots of back-of-a-napkin quotes with no itemization and no time frame available. In contrast, Kevin came, quoted the project, was straightforward about what would need to be done, arranged a time a few weeks in the future when we could be out of the house, and did such a beautiful job down to all the little details that it feels like a new home. Despite the huge demo done, we came home to a spotless house and a yard clean on debris. Professional work, done on time, by honest people.

I was introduced to Ian through a friend, during the peak of pandemic where it's such a struggle to…read morefind good contractors with availability. I cant say enough about IDR and his crew, they are extremely easy to work with, honest and hardworking, and delivered beautiful results. They helped to fit our project in their timeline, including moving and reinstalling cabinets, configuring layout, *absolutely beautiful piece of art* backsplash, and change of a back exterior door. His crew helped me realize my vision with many custom configurations and designs professionally! He's currently helping us with our second home with a larger project of bathroom addition and kitchen island addition, and I think we will hire him without a doubt for any future projects too!

My husband and I bought a new home in Cambridge in need of a kitchen renovation. We found IDR…read moreConstruction via Google and Yelp reviews and we were very impressed with the reviews and pictures of IDR's work. Ian took the time to talk on the phone when I first reached out about the project and the scope of work. He even reviewed some drawings I had done of the space and pointed out some things to think about for the layout (such as if we moved the fridge, we'd have to make sure we could access a water line for the ice maker). Ian met with us at the house to talk about the project, and we engaged Ian and IDR shortly thereafter. All told, the renovation took about 4 weeks, which was a great timeline and we are very pleased with how it came out. Ian was responsive, polite, and overall a pleasure to work with, and his subcontractors were polite, unobtrusive and cleaned up each day. We were fortunate in that we had a clear vision of what we wanted (which made the design process easy), but Ian truly helped bring that vision to life and thought of ways to make it better that we hadn't thought of, all while never being pushy or disrespectful. We highly recommend Ian and the IDR team and we look forward to the opportunity to work with him again.

We have used Kevin and his team for two bathrooms and our kitchen. Before we were ready to do any…read morework, Kevin came to our condo to advise us on the possible renovations - before we even purchased the unit. His quotes were detailed and clear, he provided recommendations on where to select tiles and cabinetry, he was helpful with money-saving ideas, he was willing to chase down my crazy ideas to see if they were feasible. His crew is amazing - respectful, on-time and clean. Kevin was also completely invaluable when we had to work with our insurance company to file claims - he was critical in helping us justify certain parts/expenses of the renovation. I have more projects in the queue - and we will use Kevin and his crew again.

I truly recommend Kevin and his staff without reservation.
