Vando Xavier at EENN Construction built my 450 sq ft. master bedroom suite addition + a mudroom + 2…read moredecks. He stayed within budget with very few overruns. He was dependable, with a cheerful disposition, excellent workmanship and attention to detail. He fixed a ceiling design problem that the architect overlooked and worked with me and the city to redesign it at his own expense. He went above and beyond my expectations, for example installing a linear (curbless) shower with excellent tile work. Everything from the windows, walls and doors, etc. were installed square and solidly. He also built a custom bench in the mudroom which has received many complements for its unique, beautiful and ergonomically comfortable design. I am a very fussy and detail oriented homeowner--hard to please. I fired two previous contractors for sloppy work. But, in my experience, Vando and EENN Construction demonstrate professionalism of the highest caliber, and I would recommend them wholeheartedly for both small and large construction jobs.

Saverio LaFauci was superb to work with! We renovated and re-tiled two full baths and a powder…read moreroom, including removing a tub in one of the baths and replacing it with an elegant shower stall. Saverio did the entire tiling and installation, and we can't say enough positive things about working with him- from his warm presence and punctuality, to the excellent craftsmanship, to his checking in with me at my office at day's end to learn if everything was to our liking. We are thrilled!!! And, all of this at an incredibly fair price.

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.

Everything is impeccably executed, from the design and the selection of materials, the construction of the entire floor and staircase, with beautiful perfect hardwood floors, kitchenette with marble countertops, beautiful bathroom with jacuzzi installation. The selection of materials is very classy and stylish and I've never been more impressed with construction and remodeling work executed to perfection!

He went out of his way to make sure everything was cleaned up (had to do ceiling work involving that cramply ceiling tile stuff) and paid attention to the little details that made the finished product look great. My job was a bit of a pain in butt but he tackled it like a "pro". Highly recommended!!!

We renovated our home and added a substantial wrap around porch. We worked with an architect to…read moredesign the porch, and had a really hard time finding a contractor that was responsive and seemed to want the job. Leader was a little more expensive than some bids we got, but I honestly think when changing the face of your house, you get what you pay for. Leader dealt with the City, the permits, the architect, and managed every detail of the project. Lauren dealt with permits and the front end of the project (because I knew nothing when we started all this), and Kaitlyn (construction manager) managed all the contractors and worked with us to deal with contingencies as they arose. We replaced the windows and door on the front of the house. We excavated 14,000 pounds of concrete stairs (layered for over 100 years), we replaced the siding on the front. We had roofers and electricians to deal with. The carpenters that built the porch (Zenon!!!) were masterful and executed the architectural plans perfectly. The structure and roof were completed in 6 weeks start to finish. I appreciate how communicative Leader is, I appreciate how carefully and neatly their contractors worked, I appreciate that every single person who worked on our property was incredibly professional. We absolutely adore our porch. It looks like a totally different house. We couldn't be more pleased with the work of this excellent company.

We are doing our first remodel and called them to see if they are interested and can provide us an…read moreestimate. Apparently, before calling them, you need to know how much your construction project will cost. Since we didn't (gasp) and perhaps because our initial estimate was lower than their over the phone estimate, they didn't even bother offering to come out to give an estimate. I guess our money is not good enough for these people.

Dan and his crew did a great job remodeling my basement. Dan offered input and know-how during the…read moreproject that really improved the quality of life in our home. He was able to completely transform our previously cold and humid basement into the nicest room in the house. Additionally, he added a full bath, laundry room, upgraded the service panel, installed a French drain, HVAC system and egress window. His guys also build us a wall of cabinets and doors, really maximizing our storage area. A real life saver, you won't be disappointed. Professional, reasonable and knowledgeable I would recommend Aureli Construction for any project.

Dan and the team at Aureli Construction are fantastic! They've tackled multiple projects at my…read moreplace, including a second-floor addition with three bedrooms and two bathrooms, with 2nd floor laundry (which was Dan's idea and a feature I cannot live without now!) The great thing about Dan and his team is even after the construction was done he still answered my calls and has come back to do several additional projects years later. Most recently, Dan and his team finished my basement. It has been 8 years since the initial renovation and I am still super happy with the work and quality! What really sets Dan and his team apart is they listens to their clients and hears their request and concerns. We had one minor setback in my project and Dan's commitment to resolution was impressive. In my experience, no project is 100% smooth so knowing that Dan and his team can overcome the snags is HUGE to me! If you're looking for skilled professionals who deliver great results and truly get your vision, I highly recommend Aureli Construction. You won't be disappointed - they exceeded my expectations!

When it was time to rebuild our 125-year-old front porch, we had a heck of a time finding someone…read morewho would do the work. We ended up choosing Victor and we're very glad we did. Victor is very patient, cooperative and kind. I'm kind of a lot, and he did a great job of putting up with me. We experienced a number of setbacks and delays because I insisted on very specific materials for certain things, and he was right there with me the whole way, even when we ended up special-ordering shingles from halfway across the country. Victor's team are all highly skilled and take pride in their work. They demolished the old porch, removed all debris, and built us a brand new one. They fixed the siding the old one had messed up. They replaced the gutters with new ones. They patched up the newly-exposed part of the chimney. Every last detail. I also didn't have to hassle Victor to get a permit; he just did it. Which is such a baseline expectation it shouldn't make him stand out amongst his competition. Sadly, it very much does. Whenever you take on a home remodeling project like this, you have a picture in your mind of what you want. For this project, we had really specific ideas, a mix of old and new, materials and techniques. Which is normal. And it never turns out that way. Not once in all the renovation and rebuilding projects I've done over the years. Reality just doesn't live up to imagination. So I don't know how to put this in terms that will communicate how rare and remarkable it is. Our porch is exactly right. It is exactly what we wanted, and looks exactly how we imagined it. I don't think there's any possible stronger recommendation I can give than that. We couldn't be happier. And I am pretty sure that in another 125 years, whoever is living in this house is going to say, "Well, the place is showing some real wear, but at least the front porch is still in great shape."
