My husband and I recently bought our first home and the inspection had revealed some issues in the…read morebasement. The sill plate and other wood beams were rotted in one corner of the house and the house was sagging. Our real estate agent recommended Neil and we are so happy with the work he did. In addition to repairing the problems in the basement, we hired Neil to re-route our gas, electric, and water lines so that way the laundry could be on the first floor. He was professional, gave me good advice about projects going forward, and all of the work came out under the quoted price. I'm hoping to do more work in the house over the next few years and will call Neil for future projects.

I requested a quote and KGC immediately responded and were able to stop by that same day. Alfredo was the technician who came over and he was quickly able to diagnose the issue, pick up the part from Home Depot, and installed it all that same day. The price at the end of the day was very reasonable. Alfredo was friendly, professional, and efficient. I'm definitely going to keep KGC in mind for future home repairs.

I don't hand out 5 stars lightly, and I have only used this company for a smaller plumbing job, but the service was TOP TIER. They responded very quickly through Yelp, someone came by to inspect the issue within the hour - a leaky shower head that two other plumbers had shined me on about for over 5 months - after Eddie came for the inspection he went gave a flat rate quote and went out to get the replacement piece and returned quickly to complete the job. So happy to have a company locally I can trust to be responsive and professional - will definitely recommend and call again. Zachary M.

Encountered a section of hidden water damage which was smoothly repaired and buttoned up. Daniele Barcaglia and Justin Burton worked daily in absolute miserable weather, snowy, raining and windy cold but continued to focus on our deck with unhurried care and conscientiousness, making sure that each cut and placement of materials was spot on. The final result was just superb and we could not be more pleased with the quality of work and with the friendly and hard-working gentleman on this job. We think highly of Bennett because of their exceptional work.

Had a tub to shower remodel of our very small bathroom. Crew arrived Monday for demo. Work went…read morewell at first but then got more and more disjointed. Thursday arrived with significant work left to be done with Friday deadline. Work was rushed from then on and the end result showed it. Paint job was terrible. Tile floor was also cobbed. Much other evidence of hurry up and finish attitude. Issues were addressed a week later after several calls and waiting around for work to be completed again. Overall a very stressful , inconvenient and unimpressive experience. Felt our little job wasn't a priority . Would not recommend this company as they seem to have too much work to handle with reliable, satisfactory work for every job taken on.

DO NOT HIRE THIS COMPANY!! I originally decided to work with McDonald Construction for an interior…read moreremodel including new layout of kitchen, bathroom, and dining room, because I was impressed with the time Jeff (owner) took with me during the estimate process and I liked his attention to detail. However when the job started I didn't realize Jeff wouldn't be involved much at all. Instead the Foreman running the job didn't share the same values as Jeff, He is actually a complete HACK and I would never let him in my home again. Jeff's price was by far not the cheapest but I thought it would be worth it for a job well done. Instead all the electrical, plumbing, and HVAC was done by the foreman who clearly has no business to be in that line of work. It was all done incorrectly, with many shortcuts taken. He also lied and cheated his way through every inspection process that clearly needed to be done. After many missed deadlines, a job that was estimated to take 8 weeks was stretched to over 20 weeks where I was finally forced to remove this company from the job and spend more time and money finishing with other contractors. After just a few short months I am already having issues with the work McDonald Construction performed.

I called them and didn't actually get to talk to the handyman person; instead, I talked to his assistant (who acted like an intermediary). He stressed that the repairman (Calvin I think was his name) was busy through at least a couple of weeks but that I should text some pictures of what we wanted done to a certain number and he would get back to us. I did as requested, but no response came. We followed up with additional emails, and then another call when I was told that Calvin was very busy but would get back to me. Two months later, and I haven't heard back from them. Would I love to hire them? Yes. Would I pay them to do the jobs we need? Yes! Will they ever get back to me? We shall see...

Finished our basement:…read more Caleb and Brian did an amazing job consulting on and finishing our basement in Mechanicville. We love the final product. When we started the project and were shopping around getting quotes, Caleb did a few things to stand out from the rest. 1) He was cuteous and on time (super easy to do, but not everyone we met checked this simple box) 2) He offered ideas and suggestions that we never would have come up with ourselves 3) He made it clear all his work would be up to code and that they don't skip steps 4) They did 90% of the work themselves (a team came for the carpets) 5) He quickly followed up with a clear digital quote with everthing spelled out so we could make adjustments where needed. We ended up paying slightly over estimate after learning we needed an extension for our electrical box. We didn't encounter many delays, I think the biggest was the first coat of paint. It didn't dry overnight, so that slowed down the next day. Throughout the build, they went above and beyond in a number of ways: - Seeding (and re-seeing), watering and even weeding the lawn - Caleb took us out to shop for slabs giving lots of great input and advice (and the kids got to play with some chickens at the site!). - They gave us detailed breakdowns of pros/cons when choosing all materials / vanitey / outlets / vents / etc (I would assume something like this was common, but after showing family the basement, we have heard how their contractors never gave any input or advice on any decisions). - They have their own dumpster for the materials but it was also extremely helpful to get rid of junk from our basement We have a list of things we plan to do in the future both inside and outside, and we are 100% going to Caleb. If he isn't available, we will wait until he is.
