Delays in start date and time to complete project. Quick to take our money and leave us with an incomplete bathroom and work that is not up to code. https://services.oca.state.ma.us/hic/licenseelist.aspx We contracted with Dave Campbell/DC Construction Services in April 2015 to perform our bathroom remodel which was to start on June 29th and take 2 weeks to complete according to him. The start date got postponed to the last week of July and we made the agreed upon initial payment for him to start the work. The revised start date came and went with no sign of Dave and it became increasingly difficult to get in touch with him. When we did, we received various excuses for the delays and the promise that we were next on his list. After asking for our deposit back come late October, which resulted in a long phone conversation, we reluctantly agreed to proceed with a new start date of November 30th. The 2 week project quickly turned into 3 weeks before we had a functional shower (the only one in our 1.5 bathroom home) and 4 weeks before we had a functional toilet, but still no sink as Dave had agreed to build a custom vanity and linen cabinets as part of the remodel. The new tub and tile work looked great and we were thrilled to have a shower and toilet again. We quickly overlooked the delays as there was visible progress and an end in sight. The 2nd payment had been made, and at Dave's request, we even agreed to pay a portion of the final payment as we were assured construction of the vanity was in progress and the job would be completed in the next 1-2 weeks. The 2 weeks passed with no communication and repeated requests for updates went unanswered. We finally got a quick reply on week 3 with the promise of a detailed update later in the day, but we again heard nothing from him. After reaching out again at week 4, we messaged Dave that we made other arrangements to complete the vanity and the bathroom and we then proceeded to do so. It wasn't until 2 days later when we asked for our faucet and our house key back that we finally received multiple replies and excuses. Shortly thereafter we discovered that Dave Campbell has been unlicensed since June 2014, despite reassuring us several times that he was licensed and insured. The plumbing work that was done would need to be redone as it was not up to code. A visit to the Town's Department of Inspections confirmed that a building permit should have been pulled for the work completed and that no permit was pulled for the plumbing work either. We are now out several thousand dollars and left with an unfinished bathroom that will need substantial additional work at a considerable additional cost to complete.

A local Parish that does SO much 'good' in the neighborhood was lacking a set of safe, railed…read morestairs that could be flush with their stage's height (this would make ascending/descending the stage faster than walking to a far end). My family had the tools but NOT the know-how to build up-to-code stairs for the public. We called upon our 2015 porch 'hero' company, Progress Contracting Corp., owned by Tim & Nicole Fiorillo to ask if they could somehow give my husband and son the ins and outs to do goabout building the stairs. While this company may build high-end homes, Tim knows the value of mentoring others to build well-structured safe things that stand the test of time--Progress Contracting listens and they make their clients happy. West Roxbury's Stratford Street Church was over-the-moon grateful to get Progress Contracting Corp's gift of time and assistance with the measuring, mitering, sawing, mentoring, etc. that allowed my husband, Peter Low, and our son, Aidan, to construct them a set of amazing 'rolling/locking' stairs for the Church. Years ago, Progress Contracting Corp. saved my family from a $50K porch disaster and they became extended family to us. With their help this much-needed project cost my family $150-ish but it was a priceless gift to the Stratford Street Church near us. Good contractors are out there so make some progress on your home improvements--call Progress Contracting the first time. They're based in Franklin but they're often building in Westwood and West Roxbury. You won't be sorry; they're just good people building great things.

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.
