I highly recommend Tom Brady Carpentry. He and his team were fast, rialable and reasonably priced. We have a small old bathroom that wasn't repaired for many years. The sink was coming off the wall. It was unusable. We decided to replace not only sink, by old tile floor, toilet, mirror and lights. Tom answered all the questions and concerns before the job started. He found a small vanity sink that fit our bathroom. There were not too many options when it came to tiles, so seeing a few more options before deciding would have been nice. The job took 4 days instead of 5. It moved along at a good pace. Overall, it was a positive experience. I really enjoy the final results of our half bathroom remodel. read more

Tom is personable, transparent, meticulous, and efficient - an unheard of collection of traits in a contractor. He handled a large kitchen renovation for us that involved the design itself, taking down a load-bearing wall, replacing a wooden floor, moving a steam pipe, moving ductwork, adding light fixtures, running new electrical & plumbing, installing cabinetry, and painting & finishing. I think a big value add, and justification for his rate, is that he is a one-stop shop. He has a closely-knit team of trusted partners, and that contributes to the consistent quality and speed of work. You could pursue a cheaper option like Home Depot, but they make no guarantee on their subcontractors' expertise, and what they can do is extremely limited (structural changes are a nonstarter). We'll be hiring Tom again no doubt. read more

We highly recommend Tom. He is friendly, forthright, professional, and knowledgeable. We hope to hire him for another project soon!

Very professional, responsible and high quality work. I am in the process of completing a in-law apartment with them and they took care of everything with no complaints from me. I highly reccomend them. read more

I highly recommend Tom Brady Carpentry. We hired Tom to do a basement refresh and garage conversion. He is honest and hard working, along with his crew. He is responsive, knowledgeable and a great person to work with. This is the second project we've had him do, and definitely won't be the last. read more

We hired Tom for two projects recently: a renovation to an upstairs room that involved turning one room into three rooms one of which was a bathroom and a second project several months after we completed the first that involved putting a new roof on an outdoor shed and fixing some outdoor water damage. Tom was efficient, considerate, and fun to work with. The other teams he brought in (plumber, painters) were great. My four-year-old woke up this morning, months after the completion of both projects, and the first words out of his month were "Mom, Tom Brady is a really great fixer, right?" read more

I highly recommend Tom, he is honest and great to work with. His crew is professional and hard working. My front porch repair is beautiful and the repaired rotten columns are awesome. He does the job right and saved us money by telling us that putting an over head garage door on an old shed was a bad idea. read more

Had a bathroom completely redone, basement windows installed and some general handyman work done around the house. Tom was a pleasure to work with, was on time, within budget and completed the project when he said he would. The finished product was great. I would, and plan to, rehire Tom. He really made sure everything was done right. read more

We are very pleased with the work Tom Brady did for us. He replaced all our windows, rotted sills, front door, much of our trim and other projects. He and his team did excellent work in a timely fashion. They were also excellent about cleaning up. We absolutely would hire Tom again! read more

Tom was hired to renovate our second bathroom and part of the job involved building a small corner shower. Before I explain the primary issue at hand, I'll say that Tom left our property a complete mess after finishing the job. I spent hours vacuuming, washing walls, scrubbing hardened mortar mix off my back deck and picking up cigarette butts. In the months following the completion of the job, my wife and I avoided using the shower as it would wake up our infant son. After renting our condo however (6-7 months after the job was finished) our tenants began using the shower daily and our neighbor downstairs reported water pouring down through the light fixture into their closet (directly below the shower). We paid to have the shower inspected by two licensed master plumbers and both said the following a. The issue was a faulty rubber membrane underneath the base of the shower b. The better way to build a shower is to use a "copper pan" vs. rubber membrane because rubber membranes frequently rip and cause leaks (go figure). Tom came by and inspected both the shower and our neighbors closet (which is now completely rotted, torn open and in need of complete restoration). First Tom shifted the blame onto the plumber who installed the drain, but later we confirmed that the water was coming from the perimeter of the shower base and not the center. Then Tom suggested that we apply a silicon seal over the top of the shower base (aka the famous "The Duct Tape Approach"). I pushed back saying that just sealing it a. Wouldn't solve the root cause of the issue b. Would likely leave us in the same situation in the near future After a lengthy discussion on the back porch (away from our tenants), we agreed that I would repurchase all necessary supplies (despite none of this being my fault) and Tom would rebuild the shower base. We then went back inside, collectively relayed this plan to our frustrated tenants and set the date for 3 weeks out. 6 weeks later Tom came by and proclaimed "I figured it out! We just need to cover the shower base in Silicon"...(aka "The Return of the Duct Tape Approach"). When I asked him to fix it as we discussed (actually fixing the rubber vs just sealing the floor), he walked out of the condo saying "he was done." Tom Brady Carpentry left me with a. Frustrated tenants that have been without their shower for weeks b. Frustrated neighbors with a ruined closet (who happen to be expecting a baby in a month) c. A bill to repair my neighbors closet (~$1200 d. A bill to pay another contractor to analyze/fix the shower (~$3000) Note: The repairs here will cost me more than original price of the job... I had two contractors by last night and they both confirmed that the temporary fix (silicon on the floor) would in fact fail in a year or two and commented on the lack of quality in the workmanship in general. I obviously couldn't be more disappointed with Toms work and failure to stand behind it. I was patiently waiting for him to do the right thing and help me fix my shower...Instead he walked out the door and completely left me hanging. read more

I had some windows that needed to be replaced. Tom came for an estimate, and gave me a written estimate for the work. Tom and his crew came to install the windows, and were prompt, professional, and very workman like. There were a few issues with rotted wood, and Tom handled all of the issues effortlessly. The price for the project was competitive, the work was of high quality, and the crew were great to work with. I will now use Tom Brady carpentry for all of my construction projects. read more

Hired Tom to rebuild a porch for $39,755.00. Believed his 30 years' building experience story; believed his assurances he had the qualifications/licenses to hire subs for excavation, pouring a concrete foundation; etc. Convinced us he was qualified to remove asbestos/dispose of it properly. Hours were to be 7:15am-3:30pm, M-F. Believed when he said the homeowner pulls building permit and we hired his choice for porch blueprints. Believed him that it was standard to remove walls above a porch you're going to jack up (master bedroom sits above) so it would be LEVEL and they'd return it to original condition. Day 1 no contract but we'd have one by week's end. Didn't cover master bedroom floor and it was ruined by falling plaster and chunks they 'ground' in walking on it. Trusted Tom's promise floor would be refinished once walls were up. About ~2pm Tom reiterates talk he'd had with my husband and says today's payment is $20,000. This was 50% but I believed him. Next day I learn otherwise, but the bank says he's cashed it. Within days, Tom is speaking inappropriately to my hires working inside. He makes snarky comments to us how we'd given the inside work away, "You do know we do kitchens and bathrooms, yes? You know this, don't YOU?" By Week 3, Mr. Thirty Years' Experience has two 'stop work orders' insisting they were MY fault. (Lack of structural support under porch and not having a signed written contract.) Tom was often cranky so we'd email him to communicate. When rain was predicted, he said they'd not becoming, "since your wife gave away the inside work." Didn't raining, but no Tom. DISGUSTING daily messes (cig butts, Dunkin' cups, soda bottles, rusting nails all over). On TWO afternoons Tom showed up drunk and unsteady. A neighbor said Tom was peeing behind our shed. A week later I caught him making a 'beeline' towards the shed. He saw me, jumped, YELLED AT ME for scaring him--then asked to use the bathroom. (They had access any day there was no stop work order.) A written agreement was now critical. Tom was ignoring our requests for one so when we gave him ours he didn't like the deadline or a 1% penalty if they missed it. Wanted us to sign his 'bare bones' email created much earlier. Tom signed ours but was clearly unhappy. While the porch ceiling was open we asked to replace the ancient insulation at our expense. It passed inspection, it stays. We offered to go get it and install it; no. The NEW stuff they did install was in UPSIDE DOWN; that was staying, too. A week later Tom installed the wrong decking--with the wrong nails so no warranty! We couldn't accept this; Tom wouldn't take it up and didn't work for two days. We then realized from our blueprints that he wasn't building to plan. I asked the inspector to meet/sort out the insulation/blueprint matter and told Tom the time/date. He came but started another argument with my husband how we were to blame; I can hear him. The inspector cancels unexpectedly; Tom is furious, aggressive and accusatory with me. When I wouldn't 'dance', he said we are done and quit. We hire another company who spends 2-1/2 DAYS undoing Tom's 'workmanship'. Two guys working long days for completed it in 10 days total; they gave us a gorgeous, well-built, SAFE porch. I contacted Tom's liability insurance carrier about the damage Tom caused ($1100 for walls he shouldn't have removed; $325 for a cracked ceiling, $500 for electrical because the walls had to be brought up to code if taken down; and $350 for the ruined floor to be refinished). Agent said Tom refused and was contacting his lawyer and we'd hear back; 2-3 weeks later, crickets. The guy's a windbag and did really shoddy work. Talked a good game; took off with our $20,000 and saddled us with unexpected debt. read more

Always, and I mean always, Tom had been easy to work with, professionally courteous, respectful of our time and price points and attentive to our satisfaction. We trust his work, his referrals, his work ethic. He's also got a great sense of humor! We recommend him highly. read more
