M DENNISON CONSTRUCTION

We worked with Marshall, the owner, to obtain a bid and understand the work that would be done. He did a nice job of explaining what they would do and estimating how long it would take to get it done. Marshall suggested a good alternative in replacing a rotting trim piece. He was flexible with our needs and was able to provide pro's and con's to different approaches with the deck. The two employees that came, a father and son, did an excellent job of working on the deck and the projects. They were also careful to clean up after themselves every day. We were very happy with our experience and would use this company again.

I didn't choose them because their prices were high. They were fine, besides their price. I had a good experience with them. Their estimate was fairly detailed.

It didn't! Unless you are dead, there is no other reason for this lack of courtesy.

Overall, the work looks fantastic. Almost like a new deck! Marshall came to check on the work and decided they should come back and add another coat of stain on the front steps. He also had the workers keep trying to remove the old paint from the black spindles that had blown all over them while power washing. That part did make quite a mess on our screen door and the spindles. I recently recommended them to a family friend who then remembered they had done excellent work on their sunporch years before.

Marshall was very prompt in setting up and keeping our initial appointment. During the consult, he offered some design suggestions, While I appreciated the fresh perspective, I felt he was somewhat dismissive of our design considerations and constraints. He was able to give me a verbal quote on the spot, but never followed up with a written proposal/estimate. The verbal estimate was inline with, or slightly lower than, other quotes we received.

Out of area for this company to build a deck for us.

Marshall is wonderful. He worked with us beginning through end. He provided on-going consulting through-out the entire process. He helped us in many areas outside of the project he contracted for. He spent numerous hours with us at the nursery to ensure we had the appropriate bushes and plants. He was always responsive to my calls. He provided suggestions but was always gracious when we wanted something done "our way". His staff are "experts" and are extremely friendly. The end result looks beautiful and the value and services we received far out-weighed what we paid.

I sought 3 quotes from the top deck builders on Angies List. I sketched out what i wanted to be done. He provided suggestions on materials (I went with Cedar). He provided a quick quote on the spot that was comparable to one other (1 quote was $1500 higher than the other 2). I chose Mr. Dennison over the other quote because he seemed more professional. The project turned out great overall. The arbor turned out fantastic. The spring was very wet and cold and the workers did not work outside on some of those days. That is why Punctuality was a "B". The quality of the deck work was solid. There were a few small things missed, but Mr. Dennison made sure that they were taken care of.

Came to my house twice. Gave me a verbal estimate first visit to rebuild my deck. When I expressed interest in continuing and asked for a written proposal, Mr. Dennison returned and promised to send a written proposal within a few days. I never heard from him again.

Marshall came out and gave me a quote the day I called and work started a few days later. Very impressed, did not diminish the fact that we were a small job. Would recommend and will use again.

They do excellent work. They were very responsive, they were attentive to our needs and concerns, and we trust them. We would use them again. They clean up after themselves and they try to leave the house in the same condition or better than that they found it.

My wife and I had an idea of what we wanted to do, but it was limited to "maximize the deck space and add a dog run". We had a few contractors come in and give us bids on what we described but Marshall listened to what we wanted and took it to the next level. He came back the next day with a sketch of a proposal that was well thought out, created a flow to our entire back yard area, included a built in bench and arbor, as well as a spot for our grill. We were blown away by his vision and his quote was in line with our budget, so we went with it. He initially said he wouldn't be able to start for a few weeks but when we requested it be done asap, he was able to make arrangements to start immediately. His crew was excellent; on-time, professional, and cleaned up each day when done. They completed the job in 4 days and it far exceeded our expectations! The details they included were outstanding and we couldn't be happier. We will definitely use Marshall for future jobs.

The team was very accommodating, followed through on everything they said and then some. They went out of their way to get the job done on time. Great job!

They started early around 7:30am and left around 5pm. The laundry room was remodeled and is now wonderful. The bathroom in the basement was in horrible condition. It is almost done and looks gorgeous.

they were very professional from start to finish.

We are very happy with our deck and patio. The guys that came every day to work were polite, punctual and professional. The price went up after the job started and it took longer than expected (by one week) due to weather and the difficulty of the wood. The design process was not the greatest; we did not understand the not-to-scale drawings. That said, once the work started and we were not happy with the size of the deck, they redid it to our liking.

Overall, the job was done without any frustration. The porch looks as if it has never been touched, it retains its old world charm. Only we know that it looks like what we envisioned --friendly and usable. Certainly, a job well done.

The job went extremely well. This job was colmpletely done from "scratch". We needed all the elements of a project of this size, rough carpentry, plumbling, electricity, tiling, drywalling, painting, and fine finish work. The many twists and turns it took did not deter Marshall or his team from staying on task and always meeting our requests with full cooperation. The finished project is a showpiece. The price was always documented with receipts and remained reasonable. We could not speak more highly of the Dennison team than to say that we would absolutely hire them again to be in our home and share their many talents with us.

He arrived as scheduled. We discussed project. The estimate of total cost was written on a scrap piece of paper. I chose another contractor.

He was very personable and it was tough decision, but we went with a company that offered more for our money and had more stability.

Apparently lights were not to code to begin with, but Mr. Dennison did not bring lighting up to code for me. Most importantly they "daisy chained" the lights, so right now the junction boxes have too many wires in them and the wires are not even capped. They are hanging loose out of the junction box. This is a potential fire hazard. When I contacted Mr. Dennison he told me that he had done nothing wrong. I asked him to come out to the house the following Monday to discuss this with an independent licensed electrician from another town. Mr. Dennison initially agreed to come out, but did not show up. When I called him he said that he was not going to bother coming back out.

Everything about them was good! I have used them several different times for work. I used them originally in 2009 and everything turned out so perfect that I just called them for my next project.

Marshall got back to me quickly after I contacted him about this project, and came out to take a look at what we wanted to have done. When we were ready to move ahead, we scheduled the date & time of the work and he and his people got there at the time promised. His people were easy to talk to and work with, and Marshall came by as well at the beginning of the project to make sure hs crew was clear on the work to be done. I have to say that I really like dealing with Marshall...he's easy to get ahold of and he's got a lot of good ideas. At one point, I was discussing other plans we had for the house with him, specifically with regard to the kitchen, and he called me back a while later to tell me about some ideas he had that might work better than what I'd described to him. I thought that was great, because it showed that not only did he have good ideas, but he'd taken a person interest in the project, even though it wasn't something that we'd agreed to work on yet. Anyway, they did the work as planned, on time and on budget, and cleaned up most of the debris as promised. The next day, Marshall came back and made sure that the rest of the debris was removed from the property.

I feared it would be a major job but Mr. Dennison assured it would be an easy fix and only cost $100. Work done well and promptly. Will definitely call again for future work.

We couldn't be happier with how the remodel went. We originally hired Marshall Dennison to power-wash and re-stain our front and back deck. We found him through Angie's List and picked him because of his glowing reviews. During the inspection, Marshall Dennison showed us that the original front porch was not laid on concrete supports and was slowing sinking. It would have eventually caused roof damage and cost us a lot of future headaches and money to repair. He won our trust from that moment on. We knew he was honest, paid attention to detail, and really was interested in our best interest, not his. We didn't know what a general contractor was before we met him, but he immediately became ours. He has great ideas to make your house the best it could be!!!! After the decks, he and his crew refinished our ugly fireplace with new carpentry and granite tiles, placed custom crown molding around the great room, dining room, and kitchen, design and built a shelving unit for our office, painted window trims, and did all the other things on our home "to-do" list. Again, we were so happy with the work he and his crew did on our first floor, we decided to hire him to remodel our basement. He started by patching walls that were seeping and making it drier so it didn't feel like a basement. He built a railing for the stairs going downstairs so it would be safer for our toddler. He recommended and placed new lighting so it wasn't so dark. He did everything we needed to make the basement an actual usable living space rather that a storage unit. He has the best ideas, is creative, and really helps your house reach its full potential. In this housing market, we couldn't afford to move, so we really made the most of the house we live in with his advice and his hardworking crew. He really has made our house our home. We definitely will turn to him again if anything needs to be done to the house.
