There is no job too small. For larger jobs I have a team of reputable sub-contractors. Specialties lie in custom built-in units, kitchen and bathroom remodels and custom closet solutions.
The home office turned out great! Brent was very easy to work with and flexible/ open to doing the project in phases with some inspiration but not complete direction. I had an idea of what I wanted but Brent brought it to life. We hired Brent to install a desk from counter top and cabinets we purchased. We later had him come back to build in a bench and build in shelving to complete the project. The shelves and the storage/ filing cabinet within the built in bench add extra storage to our condo which is hard to beat. To say I am happy with the result would be an understatement, I love it!

We hired Brent to build a closet in our master bedroom and can’t say enough about his services. He worked with us to come up with a design that meets our needs and he finished the job on time and within the quoted budget. Brent’s work is beautiful and Brent himself is a delight to work with - he is reliable, responsive, punctual, and professional. We couldn’t be happier with the job.

Brent was fantastic! He was thorough, and professional and did an outstanding job! He came and gave me an estimate, and was able to schedule me very quickly. He was able to patch the walls, and paint them so you would never know there were tears or holes. He came up with solutions to problems that were outside the box and was incredibly knowledgeable about every question I threw at him (and I had a million!) I can’t recommend him enough, the work is top of the line and his prices are a steal for the quality of work! I will absolutely be calling him again!

It took few days for response but after that Brent was very responsive. We went back and forth on the estimate. Brent explained he usually estimate a little higher because he wants it to be transparent. The total bill came a little lower and after the work was done I felt it was reasonable. Brent is professional, friendly and he came and finished the work as he promised. He takes pride in his work and he left our house spotless each day. I was hoping to find someone who I could use again for house projects when they come up. I will definitely use Brent's services in the future.
Description of Work: Several minor repairs and painting in our brownstone
Brent is great! Brent has done work for me for at least the last 3 years. The most recent project was a full renovation in Charlestown, MA. This project consisted of a kitchen, living room, entry way and bedroom head-to-toe makeover. 16 LED recessed lights, 750sf of wood flooring, 80sf of tile, crown molding, kitchen cabinets, counters...everything! Done on time and at the budget we negotiated. Brent is a pleasure to work with and has the highest ethical standards for working with clients.

Brent was super nice and professional until he failed to comply with the contract details. He denied agreeing to things that were clearly laid out in writing in the contract, and after I pointed it out (the second time because the first time I let it go), he generated a change order to reduce the price for the items he failed to complete. For example, he was supposed to paint 3 closets and didn’t paint any of them. But, then when he charged us to replace baseboard heater covers that he didn’t replace but rather just painted, that’s when I had to speak up. While I appreciate that he at least adjusted the price, the work that he didn’t do (like painting the closets) still needed to be done, so we ended up having to paint them ourselves. He certainly earned his money overall, mainly because he did the entire job by himself (which I’m sure was exhausting), but what we got is not what we set out for. He’s a nice guy, but unnecessarily defensive when called out on missed items or shoddy work. That said, I would use him again because he’s local and for the convenience of knowing what I’m getting. We also liked that he works alone so he’s 100% accountable for any issues that arise.

Response from Brentwood Remodeling and Home Solutions Inc
I appreciate the review and would like to respond to the statement that I "failed to comply to the contract details" and I provided "shoddy work." I pride myself in being extremely transparent when it comes to what I am able to accomplish for an agreed upon price and, more often than not, I go above and beyond the agreed upon work in effect doing things for a bit of a discount. When I'm dealing with an honest client I'm willing to work beyond the agreed upon price to help foster the contractor/client relationship. This unfortunately was a rare example of an instance when a client makes so many changes/modifications to the requested work that its impossible to live up to the agreed upon contract verbatim. The member correctly stated in her review that I'm "100% accountable for any issues that arise" and I vehemently deny that any of my work was or ever has been "shoddy." I frankly don't understand why she would want to work with me again if that were the case.
Brent was absolutely fantastic. Our initial plan was to knock down the wall and build an island around the chimney. When Brent knocked the wall down, he let us know that there were problems with the chimney that we were unaware of. Brent did a great job of communicating throughout the process and he spoke with us about alternative options and what they would cost. He helped us develop an idea that turned out even better than we thought and still stayed within our initial budget. Brent cleaned the work area every day during the project so that we could still be comfortable at home. He was also extremely punctual every day and completed the project on time. At every step, Brent went above and beyond the call of duty. Brent helped coordinate with people making deliveries and the company that installed the granite counter-tops that Brent framed for us. Brent also came in to finalize the project on a Saturday morning to make sure that the project was completed on time before the holidays. I was reluctant to undertake the project because of my fears about having construction problems at my home. Brent allayed all of my concerns with his consistent and professional work. The kitchen island looks absolutely fantastic and really opened up the house. I would highly recommend that anyone looking to undertake a home remodeling project hire Brent.

Excellent. Brent took out the old closet and expanded the amount of space including double doors, new draws, custom tie racks and hanger rods that slide out. Lighting was also installed - they automatically turn on when the door is open. It's pretty awesome. Just look at the pictures (pre and post). We are very happy repeating customers.
Description of Work: Custom built in closet. Our old closet was basically useless - terrible use of space.

Description of Work: Various construction projections around the house
He has always been able to provide options and insight into the best way to approach the work we would like done. He arrives on time and keeps everything clean, during and after a job. He has done great quality work and we've enjoyed working with him - in fact we are planning a bathroom remodel with him now. We would definitely recommend Brent to other homeowners in the area.

So I get back from vacation and the basement is dry. Next, we worked together devising a plan from his experience about how best to ensure the basement stays dry by adding a new sump hole and pump in the area where the majority of the water emerged from the high water table that exists under my house. Brent is currently working on cleaning, sealing and prepping the cement sub-floor in the basement so he can install a new, non-organic faux wood raised floor after the Spring when we can safely say the water issue is resolved. You can tell Brent thinks about a client's project as if it were for his own house. He's well versed in what he does and takes the time to step back and look at all of the moving parts that could affect the result before he begins tackling the project. The manner he has about him allowed me to trust that my house was safe and enjoy myself while on vacation. Now that I'm home I can see first hand the confidence and the pride he takes in his work and I'm thrilled I have him on the job.
Description of Work: There should be a category for "Trustworthiness" so I could give Brent an "A" for that as well. It's Saturday night and my wife and I had just gotten home from work. Our babysitter asks if we knew about the wet spots in the carpet in the basement. We didn't so I spent until 4AM trying to suck it all up with a wet/dry vacuum borrowed from a neighbor. The water was seeping up from under the house due to a failed sump pump and seeping right through the cement foundation. The worst part was we had to leave in 5 hours to get to the airport in time for a vacation. Now the dilemma hits me: leave the house with a failed sump pump and wet basement and come home to black mold or stay home to deal with this while my family goes without me to avoid losing out on a trip that was already paid for. I was too groggy to think straight but luckily I knew of Brent from a few smaller jobs he had done for me in the past at my store in Boston. So I slept for 3 hours and called Brent from the airport to explain the situation. Brent has basement experience so the first step was to get a company out ASAP to remove the carpets, dry the floors/walls and stop any mold from starting. Mold remediation companies are not cheap and I knew that I had to give them access to my house while I was away and trust that whatever they were telling me was true about the state of my basement. Thankfully Brent stuck around to oversee the remediation company's work and diagnosis. When they suggested we start tearing into the drywall to be 100% sure there was no moisture Brent calmly told me the walls were dry and there was no need for it. Thousands of dollars and many headaches saved right there.

The work Brentwood did was well thought out, clean, and done to perfection. Brent listened to my ideas, provided his own suggestions, and together we ended up with a great final result that was not only beautiful but also added function. He was also able to adapt mid-project when my wife decided to change directions and everyone ended up happy. Very good experience.

I cannot express in words how awesome this guy is and how GREAT it is to have him work on your house!! He is incredibly talented AND professional. He always makes sure to do a wonder job, he leave everything very clean, he is incredibly timely with his work, he comes up with solutions you would have never thought possible, and he does EVERYTHING. It is so rare that someone this awesome at their job is actually professional-- actually shows up to do the work when they say they will, finishes it on time, is reasonable cost wise, leaves the place clean, and is lovely to be around! My husband and I think he is a total lifesaver and a game changer. And my 4 year old son loves him so much he dressed up for him as Halloween :)
Description of Work: I originally hired Brent for some odd jobs around the house (putting together a crib, repainting two walls, ect.) but since that time we have hired him to do so many things I cannot even remember all of them. From designing and building and finishing a storage wall for the dining room and one for a nursery (complete with a hide away changing table THAT HE DESIGNED) to sharpening knives (because I am too lazy) to refitting toilets to installing new lights--our joke is that there is nothing Brent cannot do.

I couldn't be happier with the job that was done. Brent truly does care about the client and their wishes and takes so much pride in his work that he won’t stop till it’s perfect. He doesn’t only want a satisfied customer, he wants a happy customer. A job well done is the primary goal. I have dealt with all types of contractors in my time and many have lived up to the negative stigma that exists about people in this field. Brent does not fit said stigma. He is the only contractor I and my family trust to do work in our house.
Description of Work: I hired Brent a few years ago, to primarily do tile work and additional cosmetic upgrades when I bought my townhouse. I had an extensive entry/foyer/laundry room, kitchen, and a half-bathroom that required all new tiles. Aside from the half-bathroom; the rest of the locations had the same 18x18 tiles installed. Although the same type of tile, each tile hand an individual and unique look to it; no one tile was identical. What impressed me so much about Brent was that he spent a considerable amount of time placing each large tile down and stepping back to find a sense of uniformity and alignment. This resulted in constant moving and shifting of these tiles. I would not have even thought about such a detail as this. When he showed me, and explained what he did; I was thoroughly impressed and touched that he would even take the time to think of a detail such as this. See the attached picture to see what I mean. I am sure someone else would have just laid down each tile without any thought to alignment and uniformity.

As new homeowners, we were not aware that hand rails are required if you have more than 3 steps. (Zoning rules may be different elsewhere - we live right outside Boston). Brent built us beautiful hand rails in one day! Price, service, and quality is top notched. We plan to hire Brent for all future projects.
