Museum-Quality Construction Work in the Edgartown Historic District…read more I postponed replacing my 30-year-old windows because I could not find a contractor familiar with local historic district building requirements that would consider taking on a small job like mine (15 windows). Our house is not historic, but we still need contractors to adhere to local historic and building department rules. A friend recommended David Parent at Shoreline Management. The first thing I did was to check out the online reviews for Shoreline and David Parent. The reviews made it clear that David was familiar with local regulations and is trusted by local historic and building officials. I also called both of the Andersen Window dealers on MV (they know -every- contractor). Both dealers were very familiar with David and Shoreline Management and were eager to mention that they enjoyed working with him on projects both big and small. Even though I was 500 miles away, David and I found the right kind of windows, working through dozens of choices and hundreds of options. We discovered that adding an inexpensive Andersen SmartSun coating made my windows eligible for an "Energy Star Rating" (and a small tax credit). David documented everything in a way that I could understand and he made sure that the ordered windows were exactly what we selected. This attention to detail is important when juggling multiple revisions and finally ordering custom windows that can't be returned. Also, note that construction material logistics is a VERY big challenge on Marthas Vineyard--everything arrives by ferry. Good contractors, like David Parent have close relationships with local suppliers to track arrival dates so that work crews can be organized upon arrival. Shoreline contacted me about the installation date, which was a couple of days after the windows arrived in MV. Weeks before, David planned our window install around my Tile contractor's schedule to make sure they both could work inside the house, right before the July 4 holiday. On the very first day of the job, David showed up with 7 carpenters. During every day he was here, 7-9 people were working for at least 8 hours per day. (Several neighbors called to ask how I was able to get so many carpenters working in Edgartown at the same time, especially in July!) Not only is this full staffing more efficient, it gave David Parent more time for quality control. I have seen other contractors struggling to juggle multiple concurrent client jobs that result in understaffed crews that need 3-6 weeks to complete their work. Speaking of quality, Shoreline noticed that one of the new wooden frames was cracked when they opened the undamaged window packaging. Now, this crack -could- have possibly been repaired (glued, repainted) but David immediately rejected the window and had a replacement "rush ordered" to our home. The next month, David's crew showed up with the new window and spent 20 minutes unloading a van of full of specialty tools and saws. They used two different lasers to align the window perfectly. Shoreline's carpenters Gustavo and Lucas are master craftsmen with an eye for detail. You really should be home when you decide to replace all the windows in your house. However, David made sure to us send photos and videos of the work-in-progress (some contractors hate doing this). I could see that David's window carpenters were very experienced--you don't want new trainees installing $1,000 windows. At the end of the project, David sent very long videos showing both the inside and outside of each window install to demonstrate that the job site was cleaned up. Anyone planning construction projects in Edgartown should talk to David Parent. I am glad I did.

They showed up fast for the assessments, with "only" 1-2 no shows. within 2 weeks time…read more But, once hired, with a deposit down, they change the appointments 2-4 times for next several weeks, without feeling obligated, or without being considerate of our schedules with other contractors. Their problem is they change their work schedule on the date they are supposed to show up. That is beyond frustration. Then, they will call you again, to reschedule it for another several weeks later. It is highly unreliable doing the work with them. And, they do not explain or apologize, that is another issue I have with them. But, when they show up. their work is okay, but slightly more expensive than other contractors on the island. I almost think they abuse the clients-contractor relations, for those who have few options for the plumbers, they should really consider someone else off-island. Because of their very poor time-managing issues, they only get 2 star, otherwise 3.5.

Bruno was recommended to me by another friend and when I called he got right back to me and had a quote for me in no time. IT was reasonable and well detailed. He started the work without ever meeting me or getting money from me. ( I live off-island). He was ALWAYS there on time and did exactly what he said he was going to do. He took pictures and videos of the work and kept me updated daily. Shortly after, the pandemic hit, and construction was halted. Well, with the very rainy season this caused an issue despite his valiant effort to keep the roof safe from the wind and rain. He went to the trouble of getting special permission to go over and secure the area again to protect it from the rains and winds, all the while being harassed by people driving by and witnessing his working. He and his guys are hard-working, dependable, respectful, people who take pride in their work. I would HIGHLY recommend this company.
