A year and a half ago, Chris Stergis and I made a simple handshake, man-to-man agreement. He would…read morerent us the space behind his building so my wife, our Siberian husky, and I could live in our 17-foot camper for a fair monthly price. No contracts, no complications, just a parking spot and a little corner of his warehouse. Nothing else. That was the deal. We were desperate. Almost no one would rent to us because of our dog's breed, even though she is well trained. This arrangement let us stay loyal to her. It felt like a no-brainer. Day 1 we moved in. The first thing Chris did was break the agreement by turning the small corner into a full garage. Then he commented that he did not want to see us "rocking the camper" on the security cameras at night. Not a good sign, but we still had our dog, so we stayed quiet. Before we arrived I had asked him clearly to treat us like regular people, no special treatment. On Day 2 he showed up with two camping chairs and a massive tent. I asked if he bought them with the rent money we had just paid. He said yes, that he did not need the money. That stung; we were broke. He then offered water and electricity. I agreed to both at a fair price. Day 3 brought more. He arrived with laundry machines, a microwave, and a refrigerator. I told him straight out to stop we did not need or want any of it. I managed to refuse the laundry and microwave, but he pushed the fridge anyway. It sat unused in the garage. Everything felt increasingly uncomfortable because none of this was part of the original deal. We only wanted to be treated as normal tenants, not as his personal charity case. Then came the food invitations. Coming from poverty, I rarely turn food away. After the pattern of unwanted favors, I began declining. The line was crossed when he bought food for me, I accepted it intending to give it to a nearby homeless woman, and he got angry, saying he had gotten it for me, implying not for her. He also started bringing our mail. At first I did not mind; later I asked him to stop and he refused. One day neighbors said good morning. I mentioned it to Chris. He became upset and told me not to be friendly with them because of something they had done to him. I answered that they had done nothing to me, so I would not treat them that way. Months in, he told me I did not have to worry about being kicked out for four years, until he planned to retire or sell. Over time his comments revealed more. After a neighbor's house burned, he criticized the single mother with kids for losing the home by not paying the bank. I told him he did not know their situation and that not everyone has his resources. He also criticized his own friend and tenant Wayne for still needing to work another ten years to retire, adding that this meant Wayne had "no money." He once said we "deserved some luxury" and should not just stay there working and walking the dog. We were trying to save money. I began wondering what we had gotten into. A month later he appeared with a formal lease, asking me to sign after we had agreed on no contracts. I refused. He said okay and left, but I knew he would return. He kept creating unnecessary situations. Still, we stayed for the dog. One day he mowed without noticing our vehicle and chipped the windshield with debris. I said nothing. The one request I made was that he keep his own dog Max's water bowl full. For over a year I saw it nearly empty and asked him to fill it. He argued as if it were a contest. One morning I reminded him politely; he mocked me. I posted a review mentioning it. When he printed the review he made a loud public scene, which gave it more attention than the site ever had (it had zero views at the time of deletion). He shut off our electricity, denied us entry, and threatened eviction until I removed it. I did. We never missed a payment until the final two months, and only because he refused to accept the money, giving him another excuse. He evicted us anyway. Now the eviction record makes renting an apartment nearly impossible. Three months in he had already threatened eviction over a text. I'll leave it to people to decide what kind of person he is.

We recently had our deck completely rebuilt by Boston Framers and we couldn't be happier with how…read moreit came out. We actually got their name directly from the deck manufacturer, who told us Boston Framers was excellent and highly recommended them. After working with them, I can see why. They started exactly when they said they would and showed up every day to keep the job moving. They even worked some weekends to get everything completed, which we really appreciated. Their carpenters were excellent. The workmanship was meticulous, the materials were all top quality, and you could tell they really cared about doing the job right. The price was very competitive, especially for the quality of work we received. I also made a few minor changes along the way, and they were very easy to work with and accommodated the changes without adding extra charges. It's not easy to find a contractor that is reliable, fairly priced, uses quality materials, and takes this much pride in their work. Boston Framers checked all those boxes for us. We're extremely happy with our new deck and would absolutely recommend Boston Framers to anyone considering a deck or other construction project. Five stars without hesitation.

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.

Highly recommend. I could not be happier with my experience with the team at Powell. From start to…read morefinish, they were professional, responsive, and easy to work with. 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.
