We recently hired JMS to re-side our house and replace the windows and porch, and while we were a…read morelittle apprehensive at first, Jim and his crew quickly put our minds at ease. From the beginning, Jim was transparent about pricing and clearly explained how long each step of the project would take without us even having to ask. His crew was hardworking, professional, and incredibly respectful, not only to us but also to our neighbors. The quality of their work exceeded our expectations, and the entire process went smoothly from start to finish. We were so happy with the results that we hired JMS again to remodel our kitchen and bathrooms. Once again, the experience was excellent. Jim and his crew delivered outstanding craftsmanship, and their attention to detail was second to none. We couldn't be happier and would highly recommend JMS to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality work.

He matched the previous design he did in the kitchen so it was a flawless transition. This was a tough project and I couldn't believe how quickly his company delivered a final product as beautiful as I imagined. I would definitely recommend James Scances to all my friends & family.

They were professional, courteous, and willing to utilize our help to make the job go quicker which in turn would save us money. I trusted them and would definitely use them again.

Believe the five star reviews on here. I was a little skeptical at first, especially when I saw so…read moremany positive reviews on Yelp (it seems like every company gets trashed on here at some point, or they do something to remove bad reviews). After speaking to a few roofing companies, I decided to go with Kavanaugh, because I saw a lot of their signs around Westwood and Norwood and, unlike some of the other roofers I met with, they did not trash the competition. They also had a great price and were really fast to return phone calls and answer questions. I also appreciated that they provided their insurance and license information up front. When it came to the work, they were in and out in one day. They did a great job and it could not have been easier to work with Paul. My wife and I both work in Boston, so it was going to be tough to be home when all the work was being done, but Paul did not mind and his team did everything quickly, efficiently and professionally. The whole process felt more like I was dealing with someone I had known for a long time rather than a big faceless company. I strongly recommend Kavanaugh Roofing and hope that they continue to maintain this high level of customer service.

My husband and I had originally called Paul back in January to get an estimate to redo the roof on…read morethe house we had just bought in Norwood. Paul came out right away and left an estimate- he was the most reasonable of all the other estimates we got. We actually got married this June, and between moving into our new home and planning for the wedding, the roof was pushed aside. Once our wedding was done, we called Paul in late June to see if we could reconnect. Paul immediately remembered which house we lived in (months later!), and mentioned that we may need to repair our skylight. He said he would stop by to inspect the skylight and leave roof samples so we could pick out the color we wanted. Not only did he call back to let me know that the skylight was not an immediate need (he knew we didn't have much money over the estimate to spend), but he was also honest about the different types of roofing materials- as in, what the "Good", "Better", and "Best" meant- and what he would suggest. Paul said he would get back to us in a couple of weeks- he had a few other jobs scheduled before ours. However, two days later (a Wednesday), he called to say another job had to be rescheduled, and that he could begin the next day and be done by the weekend! My husband and I were shocked and so happy! Paul and his crew came on Thursday afternoon, with a dumpster, and were able to remove half of the roof. My husband and I weren't even home- they came while we were at work. The next morning (Friday), they showed up promptly at 6:30AM, and the crew worked right through until noon. They were completely done in less than two full days. The crew was very professional! Paul was there the whole time working, and everyone was very friendly (I was home all day Friday). We have Directv (a dish), and one of his workers even tried to recalibrate it for me so that our cable would work (it was being finicky- not his fault!) The cost was exactly as Paul had quoted- not one dollar more- and he told me about a few extra things that they did- replaced some of the warped wood boards, insulated the front bay window, and sealed the skylight, just in case. Our roof came out excellent, and we are so pleased with the work Paul and his crew did. They were incredibly efficient, even working through a brief period of rain. I will be adding photos once I take some of the outside. The new roof has changed the look of our home. One of his crew members even came back a few days later with a magnet-type stick to pick up any nails left behind. I doubt we will have any more roofing needs in the near future, but we could not recommend Kavanaugh roofing more!

He came by, spent about 10 min walking around, rang the doorbell and gave me a sheet of paper with the quote. Easy and painless as that. I asked for roof quote and got exactly what I wanted. He did not need to come inside or make me listen to a 2 hr sales pitch. I've had at least 2 other companies who tried to do that when I was getting a roof for the quote. 1 of them gave me a quote on sidings instead. The other did not even give me a quote because I decided to kick them out after half an hr. After getting some other quotes I decided to go with Robert and he agreed to come out 2 weeks later. His crew came on time as promised but he wasn't physically there until the end of the day. Overall his crew was efficient. They finished within 1 day as promised. The shingles looked okay, not as flat or even like our neighbors but it appeared to be just fine. They finished the roof before a big snow storm and rain/wind storm within the same week. It was able to withstand everything just fine and no noticeable water leak or anything in the attic. I did discovered a small chipped wood area in the attic which I can see some of the underlayment and shingles but water was not getting through or anything. I will continue to monitor. They actually was supposed to install the chimney as well forgot so they returned a few days later to complete it as promised. Overall fantastic job from Robert and his crew. From the quoting process to the fast efficient work. Cosmetically the shingles could have looked a bit better and more even but functionally it seems to have served its purpose and was worth it for the price I paid.

Ian took the time to talk on the phone when I first reached out about the project and the scope of work. He even reviewed some drawings I had done of the space and pointed out some things to think about for the layout (such as if we moved the fridge, we'd have to make sure we could access a water line for the ice maker). Ian met with us at the house to talk about the project, and we engaged Ian and IDR shortly thereafter. All told, the renovation took about 4 weeks, which was a great timeline and we are very pleased with how it came out. Ian was responsive, polite, and overall a pleasure to work with, and his subcontractors were polite, unobtrusive and cleaned up each day. We were fortunate in that we had a clear vision of what we wanted (which made the design process easy), but Ian truly helped bring that vision to life and thought of ways to make it better that we hadn't thought of, all while never being pushy or disrespectful. We highly recommend Ian and the IDR team and we look forward to the opportunity to work with him again.
