Description of Work: We had a great experience with Dave Parsons in 2012 when he redid our bathroom and replaced a porch door. This month (June 2015) we have invited him back to give us an estimate on redoing our deck and screened porch.

Description of Work: I have used Dave for my residence and rental property. He replaced doors, updated a bathroom at my rental property and other small jobs that I needed. He does outstanding work, never makes promises he can't keep and is a pleasure to work with. I consider Dave Parsons and his staff the best out there. I wouldn't use anyone else. I highly recommend Renaissance Carpentry.

Dave was responsive and prompt, and his cost was reasonable. His estimate was as accurate as could be given some real unknowns about what he might find under floors etc. In the end his estimate was right on. There was some rescheduling necessary given the terrible snow storms, and he did the work on two separate days. The work is very good and he carefully explained what he did. We are having him return to do some more work in the spring.
Description of Work: Dave Parsons did some renovation and carpentry work in our older two family home in Somerville. He installed blue board over four damaged walls in a downstairs hall and had his plasterer put on a finish coat. He installed a storm door which I had purchased, and replaced the the top layer and subfloor in the back downstairs hall, insulated under and installing plywood in preparation for carpeting. We also had him seal a leaky window and install a slab door on the second floor porch.

David and his partner visited promptly for an estimate. He was up front about his schedule and the fact that we would not be able to start right away. However, he really impressed us so we decided to wait for him to become available. We were very happy that they really understood what we wanted to do with the room, and they were smart and creative in helping us to do this in an affordable way. Throughout the entire project, we were happy with the level of communication, the creative and flexible approach to implementation, and the attention that they paid to our budget. We were incredibly pleased and will ask them again if we need anything in the future.
Description of Work: This work included the design and work to finish our basement. We put in flooring, drywall, lighting, two closets, shelves, etc. The dryer had to be moved and ventilation up to code. The design of the room was important to us, so that we could have lots of storage, hide the laundry, hide the furnace and hot water heater, and use as much space as possible for an exercise room that we would love.

Did not use, but the quote experience was good.
Description of Work: Requested a quote on replacement of a basement door including making it bigger; would required demo of foundation and re-framing to meet new standard door size; also, requested a storm door on front door. Dave came as scheduled and quoted the job. We did not utilize his company, as he was the second lowest bidder, but in the ball park.

Overall this was an excellent experience! David is extrememly punctual to meeting times, very trustworthy and does great work. He gave an estimate as to when he could start the job and then showed up on that date and got to work. He clearly communicated some issues he discovered behind the walls and came up with a great plan for dealing with them. I will definately hire him again when we need something done on the house.
Description of Work: Removal of garage wallls and re-installation of new walls. Removal and installation of two new doors (both custom-fit).

This was a small job that many carpenters would have passed over, but Dave made time for it between jobs, showed up and completed the work on schedule. The new boards were perfectly cut and placed to blend in with the existing siding. Excellent job all around.

Dave was very professional, he gave us a detailed estimated of a number of projects that I would like to complete over time. I had two projects on the list completed, the steps look great and the work was completed quickly and neatly.
Description of Work: Rebuild my back stairs (wooden) with synthetic materials, and move and resize my kitchen cabinet over the stove to accommodate microwave. The cabinet move also involved moving an electrical outlet, and reinstalling the microwave.

Completed job in neat and timely fashion.
Description of Work: Totally satisfied with new deck. Estimate and punctuality were true to initial agreements. Do use them for decks as well as any interior carpentry work. They replaced my tile kitchen with newly plastered walls and repaired missing oak floor pieces seamlessly. I would use them again without hesitation.

Dave always replied promptly to my phone calls and emails. I was concerned that the work would not be finished by our deadline but he came (as promised) a few days before we needed it done and completed everything in one day. We were totally wowed.
Description of Work: Dave expanded upon a small side entry porch to wrap it around the house to make a 5x9 deck

Very good experience! Even though Dave was very busy, he managed to come out the day before he'd planned, and finished the work before I even got home (or paid for the work)! Dave and his staff were friendly and courteous throughout the whole process. If I ever need deck/home repair again, I'll certainly use Dave (and the other good folks at Renaissance Carpentry).
Description of Work: Railings on porch and deck built. Staircase leading to yard built. Deck is approximately 18 ft. by 12 ft.

Dave and his crew were excellent. All work was completed within a day. Dave and his crew were friendly professional and courteous. They were very careful to protect the rug and did an excellent job containing the mess and cleaning up after. Will use his services again.
Description of Work: We needed a few small jobs done before family arrived for a post holiday gathering. Among them were replacement of window sashes, replace attic pull-down stairs, install 2 thresholds on bathroom doors, and secure the front steps which had developed a jiggle.

David always promptly returned phone calls and followed through on coming when he said he would. I discussed the price before he came; $65 per hour for he and his assistant. I supplied the shingles and wood needed. They cleaned up after the work was done. I will have him come again for carpentry work.
Description of Work: Dave and assistant reshingled cedar shingles above a flat roof that the roofers had taken off. He also replaced some broken shingles.

Mr. Parsons responded quickly, and was doing the work within the week. The work was done exactly as requested - what I needed, but did not try to sell me more than I needed. The scraping and painting was done neatly and comprehensively; the stairs were bolted well and steps secured without having to redo the entire staircase. It was the most reasonable price, and the quality was as hoped for. The entire transaction was painless and satisfying.
Description of Work: I asked Mr. Parsons to perform a specific task to remedy a problem for an important upcoming house inspection - to scrape and paint an area of the house, and to better secure the back stairs to the house. I needed the work done quickly.

Another fabulous job! Demolition went smoothly. They had to wait two weeks for delivery of kitchen floor and didn't complain, and that must have thrown off their schedule. Punch list completed perfectly (which in my experience is hard to find). Beautiful paint jobs. Work is superb; the guys are very considerate of the fact that I'm trying to live in the house while they're working, they clean up every night wonderfully and (I don't know how they do this doing demolition work) they keep the dust and debris to a minimum. My life was really disrupted very little. Also Dave has really good ideas and is realistic and honest about what can be done and what can't. His suggestions are usually much better than what I had in mind and usually cheaper. I can't say enough about these guys!
Description of Work: Kitchen and bathroom walls plastered, new molding, new garbage disposal - kitchen had paneling removed. Cork floor installed in kitchen, porcelain tile floor installed in bathroom, along with new vanity, sink, light fixture, new baseboards. Both rooms painted. Miscellaneous electrical work.

FABULOUS!!! My living room was paneled over crummy, old plaster with holes, etc. Above the dropped ceiling was a mess of wiring. The floor was carpeted over vinyl tiles that had to be chiseled off the fir floor. Dave and his crew did a fantastic job that was reasonably priced and done exactly within the time frame he projected (in my experience a miracle with most contractors). Am planning to redo the hallways, stairs and master bedroom, and some custom carpentry (built-ins) and will definitely use Dave - and wait if I have to. I'd be crazy to use anyone else!
Description of Work: Had a drop ceiling in the living room removed and the ceiling and walls plastered and painted. Also had carpeting and vinyl lifted from the floor and the floor refinished. Had refrigerator moved in the kitchen by removing cabinets and had a pantry put in. Also had electrical work done - added outlet in kitchen and sorted out/organized/removed wiring above the dropped ceiling (it was a mess).

Dave Parsons called back promptly and came within 48 hours to look at the job. He gave us several options for the design of our deck, and completed the work on time and on budget. While he was here, we had him install a new skylight and replace a number of old windows, both of which were completed in a timely manner. We are thrilled with the quality of his work, and recommend him to all of our friends when they need similar work. We would definitely hire him again.
Description of Work: A new second story pressure-treated deck was built, and a door leading to it from the hallway installed. Several windows were also replaced, and a new skylight was installed.
