He communicated with us throughout the project of installing a new Timberteck deck. His crew worked straight on through from start to finish without empty lapses of time. The men are so highly skilled. We continue to be happy with our beautiful deck. Therefore, we asked Ruy to install a Timberteck stair rail at our front doors, which also has withstood the test of time. We'd been concerned that installments like this would compromise the brick, whereby requiring a total rebuild, but a rebuild wasn't necessary. He also advise us on an easy and effective fix to divert water from flowing from the gutter and freezing to ice on those brick steps in winter. Based on the outcome of these projects, and our experience in their progression, we highly recommend this company.

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.

Steve at Mr. Handyman reached out right away and asked me to call him to discuss the details. I called Steve to explain a job I needed done involving an access door from my garage. He explained what he thought would be the best approach and that one of his employees would give me a better idea when he arrived for the quote. Steve explained the pricing, hourly rate, etc. and that his employee would give me a final quote before starting any work. Derek arrived on time for the appointment (I also got a text when he was on his way which was a nice touch). We went through all the details together, he explained what he would do and the estimated cost. I agreed and he got to work. He did an excellent job and the door looks great. I asked about a second project involving our swing set which he thankfully had time to include. Again, he went over all the details and estimates before proceeding. The work quality was again absolutely excellent. Derek cleaned up his work area completely. The final price came in exactly where expected, which I will also say I think is a fair price for the length of time he was here and the quality of the work performed. He asked me about any other needs I had and gave me some documentation regarding the most common jobs his company handles in case I need anything in the future. I can't think of anything about the process that could have been improved here. I would definitely give them a call again if I need anything!

We would highly recommend Lambert & Sons Construction of Marlborough. We hired Christian and his…read moreteam to replace our front door and the VERY LARGE, heavy palladium window above it. For a reasonable price, we were able to get a higher quality window and door (w/sidelights) than the originals. They replaced rotted wood they discovered, and even had to contend with a huge carpenter ant colony that had settled in there! Everything was re-insulated and, to save us some money, Christian had his men carefully remove all the existing interior moldings to re-use them wherever possible. His attention to detail was very evident in the new exterior door surround he created by hand to match the window moldings. Our painter said that he's rarely seen such excellent finish carpentry. Christian's crew is very friendly and respectful and meticulous in their clean-up of the job site. If we ever need work done in the future, our one call will be to Lambert & Sons.

The first project we had Lambert and Sons do for us was our windows. For the same price as one of…read morethe "window replacement" companies, we were able to get higher quality windows that weren't just popped into place, but installed the same way a builder would. Not only was all of our shoddy construction corrected, but everything was re-insulated and Christian installed beautiful new mouldings that changed the entire look of our house. It was so nice to not have to call in different people for all of the construction problems uncovered while doing our windows. Christian was able to handle it all (or call in excellent sub contractors to handle things like electrical work). We loved Christian and his crew so much that we have had them come back to do our roof, laundry room,repair and redesign our front door, gutter removal and regrading. We will have them remodel our basement and kitchen in the near future. Christian has an eye for detail and the knowledge to do things right. Not only does Christian have these skills, but so does his crew. Everyone involved in our projects was wonderful to work with. Everything was completely cleaned up at the end of the day (something I noticed another roofer in the nieghborhood didn't do) and the crew even scoured the neighbors' yards to make sure nothing blew onto their properties. I felt completely confident leaving the crew in my home if I had to run out for awhile and they were also very pleasant to have around while I was in the house. I sometimes hesitate when a friend asks for a recommendation, but not with this company. I have recommended Lambert and Sons to quite a few people, and everyone has thanked me for the wonderful "find". Half my neighborhood has now used Lambert and Sons based on the work they've seen done on my house. I was prompted to write the review after my neighbor struck up a conversation with me yesterday about how he watched all the work being done on my home. This is the pickiest guy in the world. He is an engineer who does all his own work on his house and has an incredible eye for detail. He let me know that Christian did the work on my house exactly like he would do it on his own and that he was an "A+ professional". He even called him an "artist", and this is a guy who never says ANYTHING nice. My painter (another obsessively picky individual) also commented about the high quality of Chris Lambert's work and how easy he was to work with (as we had them doing simultaneous projects). Update 4/21/13 - We have now had Christian finish our basement. and are as happy as ever. Neighbors that used other contractors are impressed with how Chris designed and finished the space (he even designed and built the entertainment unit), and are shocked at how quickly and smoothly the project was completed. We have also recommended him to 2 more people that were both very happy with their projects.

Our project was to install a faux pocket door hanging from the ceiling on a track so the a room…read morewith 1/2 bath access off the foyer could be used as a mini on-suite, office, bedroom, or guest room. After several weeks of design, we finalized a plan and purchased all the hardware/door. The next step was to find an open-mined handyman/carpenter to execute the plan. As recommended, we interviewed and received several estimates as well as alternative suggestion to our design. Growing up with a father that loved challenges and was a jack of all trades, finding someone that would listen and charge a reasonable fee turned into a challenge. Frustrated and ready to put the door/channel up with sticky tape, we looked on Thumbtack and found Vadzim. Who also appeared on Yelp.

We hired Powell to paint the exterior of our home and their carpentry services to replace several rotted window frames for a three story house. Andre stopped by to perform the initial exam and was very thorough and knowledgeable on the work that needed to be done. Unlike other painters I contacted, the Powell team was easy to contact and actually showed up on time for the scheduled time slot. Their quote for the project came in right around the same as other quotes we received, and it was well worth the cost. I can't praise the level of service you get with Powell. Stephanie, who handles scheduling and billing, was on top of communications so that I didn't have to worry about anything. Even the owner, Bryan, stopped by at the beginning to inspect a few leaks we had in our ceiling to help us determine whether there were other issues beyond repairing the rotted windows for us to consider. They will even bring out the drone for inspection if you have a tall home. As additional rotted windows were discovered during the power washing, work orders to add additional work was clear and simple. Once the work actually began, it went so smoothly. Andre stopped by every morning and afternoon to check in and update us. Our crew, Thiago and Breno, were incredibly hard workers. They were at our home by 7:30 am every morning despite the terrible traffic and often worked past 7 pm even during a heat wave. The guys were experts on the ladders despite having a few high, tricky spots to get to. The worksite was clean after each day which I was grateful for as we have a toddler running around. The entire project took 10 days. While it moved fast, it didn't feel rushed and no corners were cut to finish quickly. They even paused the project for 2 days because of rain so that we didn't run the risk of streaky paint. After the work was completed, they insisted on us contacting them if we weren't satisfied with any part of the project. Our home looks completely transformed and brand new. I cannot recommend Powell Painting enough for a stress free and professionally done project.

Working with Powell has been one of the best experiences I have had as a new homeowner…read more I reached out to Powell to see if they would be willing to paint the basement room in the townhouse that serves as my movie room\home office. The color that the prior owners picked while nice was a bit too dark for such a small room. They responded to my inquiry the same day and arranged a date and time to stop by and look at the room. Bryan and Andre arrived exactly on time and took a look at the room. Super friendly, patient, and willing to address any questions and concerns. As part of the renovation of the room, I was planning on replacing the carpet and asked him if I should do it before painting the room or after. He strongly suggested to replace the carpet first since the installers tend to scuff the baseboards terribly as they are ripping the old carpet out. I followed his advice and did the carpet first and sure enough the baseboards were in such bad shape after that had I painted I would have had to repaint them. I'm so thankful for that. On the day of the job, Bryan and Andre introduced me to Freddie who would be painting the room for me. Super friendly, professional, and honest. After grabbing the paint, he laid down tarp to cover the brand new carpet and got to work on the walls. It's amazing how quickly he was able to paint this room. It felt as if every move was calculated. What's more impressive is that he conversed with me the entire time! During the end of day 1, Freddie called me over and informed me that the two coats of paint that the quoted me for the job would not be sufficient for cover the walls and they will need to grab another can of paint. I asked him how much extra would I need to pay on top of the quote and said nothing. They told me it would take two coats, it didn't, so it was on them to make it right. Freddie told me he already informed Bryan and he would stop by the paint store tomorrow to grab another can of paint on their dime. I wasn't expecting that at all but greatly appreciated it. In the early afternoon of the second day the room was done. I thanked Freddie and waited for the paint to dry before heading down to plan out moving furniture back in. It was then that I noticed that there were some areas in the room that we not completely covered. I reached out to Stephanie and she called back soon after and told me that Freddie would be stopping by again later the SAME day to take a look. True to their word, Freddie stopped by and took a look at the walls now that they were dry and he confirmed the coverage issues. He grabbed paint and did another pass on the walls which removed the old color. After Freddie departed I started to notice that that wall color is much much warmer that I expected. I tried various color temps on the lights to no effect. I took a look at the sample patch in the other room and confirmed that it looked very different and that maybe I might have made an expensive mistake with the paint choice for this room. On a whim I took a few pics and emailed Stephanie with my concerns. I figured at this point they'll I'm crazy and I didn't expect to hear back. After all, I chose the paint color, they painted the room perfectly, their task is done. An hour after I send the email I get a call, it was Bryan. He looked at the photos, and saw the same thing that I have seen, and he and Stephanie have been trying to figure out the root cause. It turned out that there was some miscommunication and an incorrect shade of white was used on the doors and trim causing white walls to become warmer than they should. He apologized and asked to send a couple of painters the following day with the correct paint to address. I already felt bad about Freddie having to come back so I told Bryan not to rush but he insisted. He knew I took the week off to clear out the room to get it painted, and he wanted to get the job done so I have the weekend to put everything back together so I can work on Monday. 7am the following morning Andre and another painter arrived with the correct paint and took a little over an hour to repaint the doors and trim. As soon as I stepped into the room the walls immediately cooled down. And the state of the brand-new carpet after they were done? Spotless. I love the room now. Snow like color make the room feel bigger and more comfortable. It's easily my favorite place in the house. If you're looking for painting service for your home and are within the service area don't bother looking anywhere else. It's not just the quality of their work (which is outstanding), it's their level of accountability. They will do everything to ensure that the job is done and that you are happy. They came back to my home at two separate occasions to complete one room and I didn't pay a penny more than what was initially quoted to me. I cannot recommend Powell enough and can't wait until I can get them to paint other areas of the home.
