Found North Shore on Yelp and am so happy we chose to work with them. Jiri was quick to come onsite and provide a quote, which was very reasonable. Manuel and Jiri were both incredibly professional. They got to work quick and made sure to cover all furniture, tape off the trim, and even did the cutting of the trim outside to avoid too much dust in the apartment. Was thoroughly impressed with the finished product and absolutely will use them in the future. Couldn't recommend them enough!

Kitchen remodels can be incredibly stressful, but Mirek and his team made the entire process smooth and worry-free. From start to finish, Mirek was incredibly professional, highly responsive and very knowledgeable. He took the time to understand our space, offering excellent suggestions that improved our cabinet layout and functionality. His crew, Christian and Lucas, were true craftsmen. They were professional, efficient, tidy, detail-oriented, and clearly took great pride in their work. They understood the unique challenges of a 120+ year old house, solving every issue. We are happy to have chosen Mirek and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a top-notch general contractor.

We got a few quotes and…read moreultimately went with Homewise Remodelers because the price was reasonable and Miro was so thorough in walking us through our options. He helped us select cabinets and worked through several versions of the kitchen layout until we were happy with it--we were easily able to swap out cabinet layouts and finishings, like adding a farmhouse sink. His crew were reliable, on-time, and respectful of our property throughout the remodel and we appreciated their attention to detail. They solicited our input on decorative details and were quick to fix things we didn't like, e.g., the location of kitchen cabinet pulls. We felt they treated our home as they would their own. The project even wrapped up a few days early. We would absolutely recommend Homewise Remodelers and choose them for future projects.

We had two condo units in our building update windows as well as two back hallway windows, and Jacob provided a highly competitive quote. He was kind and patient when we waited for other unit owners in the building to decide, and did not push us to move quicker or make a decision when we were not yet ready. Ordering windows took a few weeks and teams on install day moved swiftly and kept the area clean after! I also want to note that we live on the 3rd floor of a condo building and many contractors said they could not install and/or needed additional materials, external infrastructure and costs to do the project, but Jacob made it seamless with bringing windows up the stairs, and doing an internal install, which incurred no extra install costs. This was also great as it did not impact our neighbors and kept the project contained and clean. Jacob really cares about being transparent and has earned our trust, and I would 100% recommend him and his team to anyone looking to install new windows in their home. Overall, we really highly recommend Jacobs 1 Construction! I cannot say enough great things about the quality of their work, competitive pricing, and their dedication to their customers.

Our project included our western cedar fence and our 20 years old Australian wood table and benches.

Deck Doc just finished power washing, sanding and staining my deck, and I am 100% satisfied with…read moretheir work. I scheduled the work around last November, as I wanted my deck to be refinished and looking good for the full 2025 season. The first days with decent weather in late April the deck was washed, and by early May the deck was finished. A crew of 2 worked a full day power washing and bleaching the deck and 2 sections of yard fencing. Every part of the deck was thoroughly cleaned, including areas not normally visible, and all areas of the deck that were surrounded by bushes. Within about a week, as soon as we had a few sunny days and warmer weather, a crew of three worked a full day sanding and staining the deck and fence. The deck floor was power sanded, and all other surfaces were hand sanded, before all sawdust was carefully blown away and stain was applied. Deck Doc did an outstanding job, and I would not hesitate to recommend them. Communications regarding scheduling were excellent, work was done competently and on the days and at the times promised. The area around the deck was left completely clean when work was completed. Thank you for making my deck look like new.

I had to wait ten days, but it was worth it. (Left a request on Angi, and not one viable reply.) He replaced five large tiles that had detached and regrouted around them... saving me from having to re-do the entire bathroom floor. Matched perfectly... you can't tell the old work from the new. Arrived on time and worked quickly. I was worried about tile/grout dust, but there wasn't a spec in my condo after he left. Highly recommended!
