Description of Work: I hired Gove restoration to repair some rotting wood from the exterior of our 1920's home. Specifically, window trim, window sills and kickboards for the entry doors. Given the age of the home, everything needed to me made by hand as the windows, etc are not standard sizes. |They provided a free estimate, which is not always the case, and their end bill came in vary close to the estimate, varying only because of additional rot we uncovered as the job progressed. |The B for responsiveness is because it was at time hard to get a hold of people to confirm job start dates and such. It was the height of summer thought, and they are a very busy, family owned company. In my opinion, that's sometimes the tradeoff with working directly with the owner. |The plus side of working directly with Matt Gove was the easy resolution to one minor issue I raised. |Overall, the crew and especially the foreman, were respectful and pleasant and left the work area clean and tidy.

I've used Gove Restoration for multiple big renovation projects over the last few years and as usual my kitchen renovation project was completed smoothly - within the projected construction timeframe and budget, was an overall positive experience for me and I love the end result. I've found Adam Gove and his team to be reliable, responsive (Adam always returns phone calls / e-mails on a timely basis), make great suggestions (including coming up with the idea of a pennisula which made the space much more usable for me), pleasant to have around and they do quality work. The Gove team and their sub-contractors show up when they say they will, clean up at the end of each day and keep me informed along the way. Adam also handlled timing issues and other installation problems caused by the cabinet maker I hired separately, making sure the end result was what I wanted. I would highly recommend Gove Restoration.
Description of Work: Renovation of kitchen, dining room and mudroom which included gutting kitchen, removing wall between kitchen/dining room, moving doorway/installing new door, new flooring, wiring and plumbing (including adding a new zone for heating in kitchen) and painting all three rooms. Coordinated workflows with cabinet maker I hired separately.

Gove Restoration went above and beyond my expectations. They understand and appreciate the beauty of an older home, like mine and will work with the homeowner. I am always impressed by their meticulous work. There was so much prep work to do prior to the painting and staining of the den, the stairs, the stairway, the upstairs bathroom and the powder room. And when there were issues, as there always are during a renovation, they figure out a reasonable solution. Gove Restoration is a quality firm and they have earned their "A" Rating. I highly recommend them!
Description of Work: Gove Restoration removed the wallpaper and glue from the den and powder room. They filled the cracks and prepared all walls and ceilings for paint. This included skimming, spackling, and sanding all surfaces multiple times. All imperfections were repaired. In addition to repairing, priming and painting they painstakingly removed all the old varnish, by hand, on the first floor stairway. This included the handrail, risers and stringer. Everything was sanded and repaired before applying the new stain. Repairs were also made to the risers before priming and painting. So much was done...the windows in the upstairs bathroom were stripped, sanded, primed and painted. The bathroom door was restored to it's original natural state--the wood was stripped, sanded and stained to perfection. The 1st floor powder room required a massive amount of work too.

From the start, Matt Gove was professional, detailed and organized. Going into the project, we had an excellent idea of what had to be done, the obstacles we might experience and the cost. There were some difficulties in applying for variances from the state, and Matt handled every aspect of the work and came up with some creative solutions for the obstacles we encountered. He coordinated every aspect of the work with the sub contractors, the electrician, HVAC company and the carpeting company. When the start date had to be delayed, Matt gave us a courtesy discount on the price of the project. I would highly recommend Gove Restoration for anyone undertaking a home re-modeling project.

It was an Angie's List Big Deal that I purchased. He was magnificent and wonderful. It was the best I've ever had any do. The man who came out was very professional. He came to the door first and not only did he clean them, he wasn't noisy like the last group I had. He told me a few areas where he had to re-screw some of the gutters in and level something off. He was very professional and very, very good. They were awesome all the way around. I would absolutely use them again.

It went very well. Gove Restoration is always interested in making sure the job is done right. His contractors have performed exceptionally well, they go right to work and do not take lengthy breaks. Both Adam Gove and the people he works with take the time to explain exactly what needs to be done, and why. There s never any worry for costs. Adam gove inspected a room that I thought would need replacing and would be very expensive. He said it was fine, and that is why I always call Gove Restoration for any job. Honesty, attendtion to detail, and Adam's random checks to make sure work is going according to plan. In adding a door there was an error in measurement which could havve been passed on to me, Gove Restoration stuck to the quote as they always have. If you want a quick cheap job, call someone else. Gove Restoration rightly takes pride in their work and wont cut corners. He knows exactly what needs to be done and handles it. I have used Gove Restoraion a number of times. I have never been disappointed, never had a mess left, and had only friendly and polite contractors at my home. I would call no one else and strngly recomend their service.

This was the third project Adam and Matt Gove worked on for me and, as with the other two projects, this was a positive experience for me. The new bathroom looks great - better than I hoped it would. The Goves are very responsive (phone calls and e-mails are always returned), show up when they say they will, keep me informed along the way, make great suggestions for alternative ways of doing things, clean-up each day, are nice to work with and do great work. They keep me stress free during projects and I also feel comfortable having them in my home when I can't be there.
Description of Work: Half-bathroom renovated and converted into full bathroom. Included: gutting original room, plumbing (including new plumbing to add stall shower to room), lighting, vent fan, sheetrocking, tiling floor / new shower, glass shower doors, new vanity and fixtures, custom trim work and painting (including adjoining hallway).

I couldn't be happier! The repairs and painting were done with perfection and detail. They had to do additional repairs but handled them all with ease. Also, I had a time constraint due to the holidays, and they finished a day early! I've worked with the Gove family before and would highly recommend them! Absolutely outstanding...

Matt Gove worked with us to meet our particular needs and goals for improving the attic ventilation in our home. The crew was prompt, clean, and diligent. We appreciated their willingness to take on an unusual project and see it through. They left us with some spare materials that helped us finish off another project we were doing ourselves. It was our second experience with them and both have been positive. A genuine, professional, and straight forward family business. We hope to use them for future work.

I have nothing but high praise for Adam Gove and his team at Gove Restoration. From the beginning, his professionalism and attention to detail stood out. We started the proposal process in July of last year and after a few revisions finalized the project in September. Their schedule was pretty full, so work did not begin until February. It was well well worth the wait. We live in an older home it was important for the end result to look like it has always been there. And, it does. The new floor is such an improvement over our old linoleum. Being able to walk from the kitchen to the living room without having to go around the whole house really makes life easier. There were a couple miscommunications along the way, which is to be expected. However, they were handled well by Adam and to our satisfaction. They were clean, responsive and the quality of their work exceeded my expectations. I would definitely recommend Gove Restoration to my friends and family. They were a real pleasure to work with. I gave them a 'B' for price only because they were the highest bidder. I think their price was fair given the quality of their work.

The Goves were very professional and meticulous in their work, and on time for work every day. They listened to my wishes and made suggestions that worked very well with the style and period (1926) of my home. Although their prices were slightly higher than other contractors, I felt that, due to their excellent reputation, it was worth it. I could not be happier with the renovation that they did. The tile work is unique and beautiful, and the built in shelving, which they suggested, adds to the charm of the room. They also suggested additional lighting, which I love. Adam and Matt kept me informed each step of the way, and called me if they had any questions. (I felt totally comfortable leaving them in my house while I was at work.) They were meticulous, detail-oriented and very pleasant to deal with. I could not be happier with the work they did for me, and would not hesitate to use them again. My bathroom looks like the finest spa!
Description of Work: The Goves totally gutted and renovated my bathroom, installed new walls and fixtures, added radiant flooring, new lighting, a vented fan, built in shelving, tile, shower doors.

This was my first experience working with Gove Restoration and from start to finish it was an extremely positive experience. I've found them to be reliable, responsive (Adam Gove always returned phone calls on a timely basis) and they do quality work. Adam provided a very detailed estimate, which other contractors wouldn't do, and suggested alternative ways of doing things that turned out better than what I had originally requested. During the project the Gove team and their sub-contractors showed up when they said they would, cleaned up at the end of each day and took care to protect my flooring in areas they walked through. While Gove Restoration may be a bit higher in cost than some contractors, I definitely feel I got my money's worth and will call them first for my next project.
Description of Work: Total remodel of walk-out heated basement. Existing basement finishes were gutted and an interior wall was removed. Stud walls were built with vapor barrier/insulaton added to exterior walls, new interior doors were added. A new laundry closet (housing washer/dryer, set-tub) was built, plumbing was re-worked and cabinets/countertop installed. Recessed lighting, new outlets/switches were added. Stairway and railing were re-built. Walls and ceiling were sheetrocked, base molding added, columns trimmed-out, everything was painted and new flooring (carpet/wood laminate) was installed.

He came out and he was very knowledgeable. He was very prompt as far as getting his estimate in. He was concerned about whether I would go with somebody else so he gave me tips for what to look for and what not to. It was just that his price was little high than other estimates that made me not to go with him. He was very professional, seemed to be very caring and I felt that his price could be a little low. He was just a wonderful guy.

We contacted the Gove's to get an estimate for our bathroom remodel. I met with Adam Gove, who was very professional and provided me with a lot of information regarding what we would need for our bathroom remodel. They come highly recommended and I would have loved to use them. Unfortunately, their services were completely out of our budget range and in the end, we decided not to use them. They were prompt in returning phone calls and gave a lot of feedback and insight that I found helpful. Adam was a very straightforward, but kind individual. If you have a good sized budget, definitely look into having the Gove brothers do the work for you.

We have worked with the Goves before (they installed a hardwood floor for us) and they were the only company we would go to for further work. Matt came and gave us an estimate for painting and restoration of the garage. His crew came to do the scraping and prep work, Matt figured out the solution to the structural problems and fixed those, and the crew completed the priming and painting. Always punctual, polite, tidy and beautiful attention to detail.

I had a small exterior project that I thought required a professional to complete because the height and location were a bit beyond my comfort zone. I searched for Handymen and found many companies large and small. As I started calling I found very few would even return a call and even fewer who would consider the work. Once I contacted Gove I received a return phone call within hours indicating they were able to consider the project and help me out. I subsequently determined a safe way to complete the work myself. I then received a follow up phone call from Gove to ensure my needs were fulfilled as I had been difficult to reach and had not taken the time to follow up with them. In explaining the situation and discussing the project, I found Mr. Gove to be a professional and responsive. He was also able to consult with me briefly on a future planned project and based on this discussion it became clear to me that the company philosophy is clearly to do the job the right way. I am excited that Angie’s List helped me to find a resource I can trust for large and small jobs in the future. I look forward to contacting them again for my future needs. I would definitely recommend contacting this company to see what they can do to meet your needs.

The work area was draped and sealed off to keep the rest of the house as clean as possible. Also all floors to and from the work area were covered with work cloth each day and cleaned at the end of the day. Carpet was removed, linoleum flooring was removed, then the old tar-covered oak flooring was torn up. Each sub floor board was individually nailed to the floor joists. Tar paper was installed on the subfloor, and new unfinished oak floorboards were installed. Custom shoe molding was installed, as well as oak threshholds. Floor was refinished by outside company under supervision of Gove. Windows were repaired.
