We were able to fix many additional structural issues in our home during the work. He had a great attention to detail, and his subcontractors were very professional. Things got done on time and with us understanding all the costs incurred - in an older home, there are always surprises. The worksite was maintained very well, with great site protection. I had no concerns that our toddler would get into anywhere he shouldn't be.. he is handling fit and finish issue for us now. I'd highly recommend his work to anyone. We will likely look to him again when bathroom remodel time comes..

Barrowclough came highly recommended, especially Paul Newman. I had seen his work at a couple…read morehomes. It was perfect. When it was time for us to do a major renovation, we invited them to give us a quote with other contractors. We ultimately chose them, although they were not the lowest quote. We chose to leave our home during construction to give them freedom to do their thing. Not only did Paul work quickly and efficiently, but during the job, he called frequently to keep me updated, and he came up with ideas to make the space more usable and modern. Rather than keep 2 old fashioned pantries, he had an idea to pull off the doors and order cabinet frames and doors and extend the kitchen into the hallway. He pulled out the insides and reengineered them to our custom specs. The result was that for minimal cost (hundreds of dollars) we got much more functionality and efficiency. We ended up adding to the kitchen and dining room job. What did we add? We removed popcorn ceiling, painted hallways and stairwell, painted master bath and bedroom, redid two upstairs bathrooms and more. We came home to a new house in April 2021 just as covid is (hopefully) winding down. What a gift Paul is. I'm happy to show the work that Paul and his crew did. He employs the best subcontractors and partners with them to ensure they are working together well. You can't go wrong with Paul and Barrowclough. Paul is a master carpenter.

We had an excellent experience with Tom Barrowclough Contracting on our recent home renovations…read more Tom met with us promptly after I called to request an appointment for a quote. Our project included a new roof, siding and all new windows. Tom delivered our detailed quote within a week or so. Our project started mid July 2018 and was completed last week. We were informed by Tom that the foreman, Paul Newman and crew would arrive at 7:00 am on a Monday morning, which did happen. Going forward Paul was in communication with us daily informing us of the next days schedule. All coordinating of product delivery, plumber, electrician, plasterer were under his supervision. There were no delays even with the August extreme heat. The crew of 3 were courteous and worked consistently through out the day. All materials were cleaned up at the end of the day. We requested some additional projects and the crew all worked together and made it happen. This included painting all the new window trim and a few rooms and ceilings. What impressed us the most, beside the quality of work, was that the Barrowclough team took our project and ran with it while consulting with us if needed. We would rate our experience as 5 stars and will use Tom Barrowclough for our next home project. Pat and John Dunn

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."

The…read morehome was left in pretty bad shape by the previous owners of 30 years, and the scope of work was extensive and daunting: gut and reno of a dated, compact bathroom; refinish of three wallpaper and horse hair plaster bedrooms; refinish worn hardwood floors; creation of custom laundry closet; new heating and hot water system; construction of new egresses; installation of new windows; etc. We loved his subcontractors. We purchased several natural stones for our bathroom renovation, and Carlos installed them with great care. He took the time to hand select individual pieces of stone from the 1' x 1' mesh to finish the edges of our walk-in shower. And Fred, Dave's plumber, is a gem. It's obvious he takes great pride in his work, and it really came through in the installation of the new heat and hot water systems in the basement. He even took the time to point out and explain some of the home's plumbing history (e.g. down spout for the old ice box!) We really enjoyed working with Dave. We gave him a high level vision of what we wanted, and he knew how to execute. This is our first home--first purchase and first renovation--and there were numerous times I thought to myself, "I'm not sure if we could've made it without Dave". He was timely, considerate, and always available. He gave us great recommendations for paints, fixtures, and accessories. The bottom line: We'll absolutely be doing more work on our home in the future, and we won't look to anyone but Dave.

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.

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!

Peter Shepherd is a dishonest contractor. He is operating illegally as he does not have a…read morecontractors license and uses his son's with the same name. He was extremely difficult to work with. His workers do relatively quality work, but they cut corners due to Peter's instruction. I had them do a walk-in shower and the floor had to be redone by a professional tiler. The water was not draining (at the correct pitch) and puddling. After Peter's team re-did it the professional tiler took over because the puddling was not corrected. He ripped up what they had done and discovered they had just tiled over the first tile! He ripped it all up and started from scratch. Peter walked off the job and then sent me threatening texts, saying he was going to put a lien on my house, and sue me for slander. I had to hire an attorney. I had a very negative experience with this contractor and would highly recommend you run, not walk away!
