Love it!
Description of Work: John Suomala did a complete remodel of our kitchen. He looked at our plans and made a couple of suggestions that made sense and were used. John gutted the kitchen, removed a hall closet to add space to our kitchen, removed part of our wood floor in order to put in tile we requested for the outside door area. He installed the cabinets, crown molding and made changes to the cabinets to suit our needs. The cost included the cost of installation of all new appliances, wiring for new lighting, plumbing and the installation of a backsplash. We are thrilled with the result. John is a true professional and extremely punctual both with his scheduling and when it comes to returning texts, emails or phone calls. We did not feel the need to check up on the work, visiting the site only twice during construction. We were that confident in his work. I would recommend John to my best friend.

We were very happy with the end results.
Description of Work: John replaced all windows in Master bedroom. Some were moved some around and added. He put in new insulation when he was doing this. He also put in a whole new master bathroom, closed off some walls, added new closet doors and redid the hall ceiling with insulation too. John started in January and we finished in May. We would have finished months sooner but this was due to some things we added after the fact so we had to wait to have them done by a separate contractor and that took about a month or two. We were not living in the house at the time so it was not really inconvenient to us and we are very happy with the changes. We ran into a few problems with pipes and the layout but in the end we did get everything we wanted and planned. To create the new bath 3 small closets were eliminated so we could have 2 sinks, a separate bath from the shower and a small linen closet. John also gave us some great recommendations for other contractors for painting, deck and floors that were very good.

i had to book him nearly 2 mos. ahead of the work date but it was worth the wait. he showed up early, stayed late, called if he would be delayed and was extremely professional, trustworthy and easy to work with. he was neat and cleaned up as he went along. i have other projects that i hope to get done and am planning to use him for these as well.

Great! Everything looks terrific...the portico looks really fantastic... especially because it was in such bad shape before. John pays very close attention to detail... all nails are set evenly.... everything is always perfectly level. After the project was finished...but before the painting project had started...I did find one more small piece of trim that we missed on the side of one window... it had been hidden by a giant bush. John stopped by that afternoon and fixed it. He wouldn't even charge us :) We will definitely be asking for his help for future projects!
Description of Work: John repaired and/or replaced all pieces of rotten pine trim on our home. He removed rotten wood from the portico above our front door and replaced it completely with AZEK trim (4 columns, railings and banister). He also added some decorative trim that was not originally there to dress up the facade.

John worked every day, all day until the job was completed. John is meticulous and hard working. Always cleaned up after himself and made sure his work was done correctly. I had seen work completed by John at a friends house and we both agreed you can't find many workers so dedicated to their work ethic. I would happy to provide an excellent reference and hire John again.

John arrived bright and early. He worked diligently until the job was completed. This is the second time we have hired him. The first was last month when he installed a storm door for us. My husband is very fusy and he can't say enough about John's work - he is excellent and his prices are very reasonable.
Description of Work: John built and installed two double door gates for our deck. He is very precise and we love the work he did. Our dog is happy as she can enjoy being out on the deck with us. I can't say enough about his work. We saw his work first hand when we saw the work he did at our son's house in Falmouth- John did a complete update on the outside including an awsome outside shower.

John Suomala was very detailed oriented, efficient and very neat. His price included cost of cabinets, granite and sink. There was only one add on expense which was the cost of new wiring to my oven and microwave because existing wiring did not meet code. John listened to my recommendations and we always reached consensus on how to proceeed. Appliances were purchased by me. He arranged and coordinated all subcontractors during a very busy time of the year for tradespeople on Cape Cod with only a few delays. Everyone showed up on time and were very professional and neat in the performance of their duties.
Description of Work: John Suomala renovated my kitchen. He removed all my existing cabinets and appliances except my refrigerator. He or his subcontractors installed new cabinets, counters, tiled backsplash and appliances. He arranged for disposal of cabinets and appliances.

I cant say enough about John and his crew. John is professional, punctual and true to his word. His work is impeccable and high quality. His prices are very reasonable for the quality of work that he provides. He puts everything in writing and makes changes and informs you of changes accordingly. No last minute surprises. John remodeled an entry area and family room in my basement. He also installed a bookcase/electronics storage in my main living room, a bathroom remodel, and installed an outdoor shower. I was not at the job site when the majority of work was being done and when I arrived, I was speechless. It was fantastic. John is great to work with and has a greaet sense of humer too. I will definately use him again in the future!!

The hose came off the washing machine, but wasn't discovered for quite a while so water flooded the basement -way too much water for our own wet vac to handle. We called a plumbing company and they recommended EHS and they responded very quickly the day before Thanksgiving when we were getting ready to go on a cruise. They moved things to safety, pumped the water out of the basement, and set up a huge dehumidifier and several mega dryers to run for 24 hours and came back late Thanksgiving afternoon to retrieve their equipment and test the air quality which passed. They saved the day for us and turned our disaster around so we were able to take the planned trip later that evening.

They walked around and sent us a quote; we will make a decision whether we want to do it or not. I went on Angie's List and Engineered Home Solutions was one of the ones they recommended. They were very polite, very nice and well mannered. I was happy with them; it is just that I don’t know if I want to do it right at this moment. It was well done.

The prices were very fair given the high quality of workmanship. I was well informed of changes or other issues that were uncovered, no surprises. Although I didn't have exact dates, schedules were reviewed with some adjustments but were reasonable and acceptable. EHS remediated a number of sub standard conditions which we are glad that are corrected. John is organized and cares about the work he does. He comes with a notebook and writes everything down, and sometime even takes pictures to work out detail estimates. The job is costed out by component so that we knew what each part was estimated at and why. Changes are documented and reviewed so that there are no surprises on the bill. He makes recommendations on the right way to do things and explains fully. He sealed off the house to minimize the impact of the work. He and the crew cleaned up inside or outside each day. Examples of his attention to detail: copper caps over the front windows, the custom molding fabrication for the arched window - a perfect match, the fact that he identified the source of the leak from the basement and made sure that the door was set in to eliminate the leak with a new copper pan, flashing and stone sill and lastly crafting azek in the alcove to match the character of the house. We have been extremely satisfied with the work that has been done.
Description of Work: EHS performed two major renovation projects, June 2009 and November 2010. Replaced all trim on the house with azek, re shingled full exterior, replaced most windows, replaced 3 doors, replaced a porch and decking. Repaired a nasty leak on a recessed alcove on the front door. Built a custom bifold screen door. Custom azek work for the same alcove. Identified original construction defects (not to code) and remediated. Tore down existing sun room. Job included: augmented the foundation, rebuilt room with cathedral ceiling, side windows with transoms and shelves for nick nacks, a triple slider with transom and arched window, custom molding fabrication for the arched window, ceiling fan, recessed lighting, tiled floor, improved ventilation, replaced deck and railing with composite.

Everything went according to plan. John met us at the house in Jan of 2011 and we told him what we wanted. We were concerned about musty smell in basement. John suggested an air exchanger that has been great. He suggested a drop ceiling that would give us flexibility in future. When I mentioned some water leaks with heavy rain. John suggested a waterproofing spray for the concrete walls. He also saw a crack in the wall that he patched. He mentioned that it would take between 6 to 8 weeks and was finished in late Mar 2011. The basement is now the most used room in the house. We love going down there where we have a large television set up.
Description of Work: A complete basement remodeling in my Cape Cod House in Brewster, 185 Brook Trail Road, including following : 1 Coated cement walls to prevent any leaks 2 Sheet rock with insulation on all 4 walls including electrical ,phone and computer hook-ups. 3 New half bath with ventilation 4 Drop ceiling with insulation and recessed lighting 5 A basement air exchanger to prevent moisture build-up. 6 Framed in walls for hot water , laundry and gas heater.

The job referred to here exceeded all expedtations. He renovated the major portion of the basement to be very livable. We were completly satisfied with his work and would welcome him using us as an example of his work. Other jobs that have been mentioned were also successful not only in the workmanship but also with his dealings on plans and communication of any changes to the plans. Quality of materials used was excellent. We certainly would recommend his work to anyone who appreciates excellent work.
Description of Work: This was renovation and completion of a finished basement. In addition to this project, John has renovated a bathroom, replaced part of a deck, changed all interior doors, replaced front door as well as other miscellanous projects since 2000.
