In the end, they took about 18 months to complete the job, were over budget, and did a terrible ob on multiple things. They may be okay for simple, quick projects, but do not, I repeat do not, have them do anything regarding tiling or grout. Terrible job done by teenagers (maybe twentyish) who clearly didn't know what they were doing and had no oversight by the owner, Mark.

After a number of interviews with local painting companies to discuss the scope of our work, we selected H &S Contractors. H & S exceeded our expectations. Our furniture was properly covered and protected with clean drop cloths. Wall imperfections were repaired. Painting of our ceilings, walls and trim were done to perfection. Lastly, our floors were cleaned and dusted, leaving our beautifully newly painted rooms in move-in condition. Through the entire length of the project, H&S exhibited professionalism. They arrived at the arranged date and time, and completed the project within their estimated deadline. I will certainly call them for my next project and have no hesitation whatsoever in giving Humberto and his team a 5 star rating.

I am honored to be the first to review this painting company. In order to give our house a facelift…read morebefore we put it on the market, my husband and I sought several quotes from painting contractors for exterior painting. From unreturned calls to quotes almost double of others to no show appointments, we were quite discouraged by the service and response from several companies (we probably contacted 8 or more inclusive of this one). In fact, some companies even came to our house, but never sent out quotes. The pursuit reminded me of dating with Mr. Wrong standing you up, etc. Anyhow, John, the owner of this company, was responsive and his quote was the most competitive of the few we did manage to obtain so we decided to go with WJ Skouras. We were skeptical as his price was so much lower, but we took a gamble. Ever since the house has been painted, we have neighbors and strangers alike tell us how good our house looks. Mind you, the paint was peeling and the house was a boring white before, but we have never gotten so many compliments on our house. It is no longer the ugliest house on the block and it's hard not to feel like a proud homeowner when you are walking the dog and random people tell you how great the house looks. The painters were able to chip away the old paint in one day and then finish painting the ENTIRE exterior of the house on another day. Not to mention, it was almost 100 degrees both days, but the three workers slaved away and got the job done. They not only did the house and the trim, but they freshened up our railings, our front door, and the trim on a shed in the backyard as bonuses and upon the suggestion of John. The workers were sweating through the job, but never complained. It was crazy, but they never even asked to use the bathroom. I offered them water constantly, but they refused although they did happily accept some popsicles towards the end of their day. We were excited when the job was done, but disappointed in all of the chipped paint that was disposed of in our front and backyards. Since neither my husband nor I are confrontational, we resigned ourselves to the fact that we would have to clean up the mess ourselves. However, just like he consulted with us in person prior to the project, John came back the day after the job was completed to check on his crew's work. He also noticed the chipped paint and had his workers return the following day with a supervisor to clean up the debris and to touch up some spots they missed. We were so amazed at John's attention to detail. I am typically a perfectionist and even I did not notice the few spots he did. We are grateful that we have a beautiful paint job and that it was affordable. Thanks John! We already have some neighbors jotting down your phone number for their own paint projects.

This review is long overdue. Richard Reed is the owner of North Shoe Tile and Marble Co. Way back…read morein 2014 he replaced the tile of our entire first floor at our home in N.Reading. He demo'd the old floors and completed everything in a week and a half. It looked great then, and still looks great. We couldn't have been more satisfied. Now fast forward to 2020. Finally time to redo all the tile in our master bath. He ripped out original fiberglass shower unit, and redid the whole thing in tile. Also re-tiled bath floors and tub surround. Again, the project came out fantastic. He's been in the business a long time. As a result, Richard is so helpful with project planning and design advice. He shows up every day as promised, and keeps the job site incredibly clean.. As a bonus, he's such a great guy, and so easy to work with. If you're lucky eneough to involve him in your project, you won't regret it. Mike M.

Sky Flooring & More Team was contracted to install new floor in my basement. Their work on the…read morefloor was so immaculate that I had switched my other large construction project to this Team. They finished my basement and it looks fantastic! I am so happy with the result of their work, that I feel it's justified to give more details on my experience with the Sky Flooring & More: - Great communication. I received perfect amount of updates and was always kept in the loop. If surprise came up (and any homeowner knows those will happen), they let me know immediately. They offer suggestions, recommendations, and options with the cost implications. In addition to that, if you prefer text versus phone call, they will accommodate to that. For me it's a huge help as I'm always in work meetings and it's hard for me to answer the phone during work hours. - They keep timelines! I was given an estimate and their work was done exactly within the timeline they provided. They also show up on time and work all day, they don't leave earlier etc. They are motivated to finish the job as promised and to do it well. - They pay attention to details. Once done, the place just simply looks great. Everyone who enters my finished basement comments how amazing it looks. - Their work withstands the time, I am a few months late with my review, and everything looks still as perfect as it did the day they completed the project. - Lastly, they are a nice and polite Team to work with. It really helps too. So I highly recommend this company and with the new projects I will definitely come to the Sky Flooring & More! Thanks again for the amazing transformation you did to my basement!

One of the projects that we were able to complete this year was replacing our old carpeted stairs with hardwood stairs.

They stripped the stairs down to the frame and rebuilt them with beautiful grey oak. The workmanship was top notch.
