North Shore Design did an excellent job on my kitchen renovations. The work was done on time and within budget. Joe Fruciano is the ultimate professional and very easy to work with. I would happily work with him again. I feel I made an excellent choice!

Joe Fruciano, the owner, worked with us and provided us his expertise right from the start as we negotiated a final settlement with the insurance carrier. He counseled with us on the detail, level and quality of the restoration. He worked with us as a partner. He was on schedule at each phase. The workmanship and materials were excellent. He was right on budget! We highly recommend North Shore Design without reservation. Note: The service location was the North Shore of MA, (not the location below)

The project went very well. These kinds of projects always take more time than originally anticipated but we really enjoyed working with Joe and his team. Joe is very responsive and understanding. He is easy to work with and willing to make adjustments as things are moving along. He was very patient and offered advice where we needed it. Leon the carpenter is very friendly and his work is fantastic.
Description of Work: north Shore design assisted us with a kitchen remodel. We needed an exterior door removed and the relocated to the other end of the house, creating a new mudroom and closing off the old mudroom. They also replaced 3 windows and installed recessed lighting and exterior lights. The walls were plastered and new doors installed. We also had the plasterer repair extensive damage to our dining room plaster crown moulding.

I obtained Joe's name/company from the kitchen cabinet showroom, and was anxious that I would be working with a contractor I did not personally know through a friend. But my fears were allayed within days of being introduced to Joe and his crew. Joe is the consummate professional. The most critical piece in any project, whether at work or at home, is communication; and Joe is OUTSTANDING at keeping the client informed. I honestly have never met a more reasonable, capable, and effective contractor: Joe contacted me by phone or text almost every day to update me on the status of work being done or to be done. That is an invaluable characteristic, providing peace of mind and building the utmost trust in his and his staff's work. The work product is also exceptional: all of the finish work has been meticulously carried out, with great care in cleanup as well. Despite delays from other contractors I hired for flooring, countertop, and tiling, Joe kindly arranged schedules to accommodate their work. Because I was disorganized (unusual for me!) when he and his staff arrived to begin the renovation, they helped me move all sorts of stuff that I hadn't finished storing in boxes, which is above and beyond their scope of work. I am so thankful for this compassionate assistance, and for some practical advice he gave me (rent a pod to store all first floor furniture in while floors are being removed and new flooring installed; hire a mover for this). It has been my pleasure to work with Joe and his crew member, Leon, as well as the electrician and plumber he hired. Thank you, gentlemen! I love my new kitchen!
Description of Work: * Removed old kitchen cabinets, provided finish work and installed new cabinets with new molding; removed/reinstalled bathroom vanity and toilet * Removed old fridge, set up new fridge; removed/reinstalled dishwasher and stove * Removed floor tiling in kitchen/bathroom/hallway * Coordinated plumbing (added line for ice maker, installed new disposal), electrical (added lighting); provided plaster/patch on walls and ceilings as needed * Obtained all permits and inspections * Supplied, installed new baseboard in kitchen after new flooring was installed by others

Totally professional! I thought I was going to be able to handle more of the project up front but was unable to due to many complications. Joe was able to problem solve effectively, motivate, and execute on the plans that were not cast in stone most of the time. After calling many contractors and getting either no reply or walkaway pricing I was refreshed after meeting Joe. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone! I continue to get compliments on how great the interior of my house looks following the transformation...
Description of Work: Originally I hired North Shore Design to remove a load bearing wall and some basic framing. I uncovered several nightmares during demolition including structural issues, carpenter ants, and termites. Joe and Leon definitely took everything in stride and helped me out along the way. Ultimately, I wound up having North Shore Design Reframe an entire exterior wall down to the foundation, move my front door to a new location, install new windows, install siding, remove a load bearing wall, firm up an old sub-floor, Insulate, hang drywall, install cabinets, frame out a half bathroom and closet, install new interior doors, and install all finish trim work. (I am confident I am leaving something out) Joe was happy to give me references for other trades some I used and others I did not. (Dollar amount specified is a guess based on my recollection.)

Joe and his team of professional craftsmen were outstanding from start to finish. We felt like they were our partners in the project. He worked closely with our designer and cabinetry vendors to ensure the quality and delivery of the project. North Shore kept on schedule and to budget through the whole project. Any time an issue arose, Joe and his team were quick to let us know and engage us in resolving it. No surprises. We plan on using them again soon for another interior remodeling project of similar magnitude.

Extremely happy with my experience with Joe and Leon from NSD. They accommodated a slightly accelerated schedule, showed up on time everyday, answered all my questions, and did an absolutely beautiful job. There was an issue with the original design (not their fault at all), and they came back to correct the problem asap with no hassle at all. Would recommend them to anyone.
Description of Work: Complete kitchen cabinet install in a fairly small/tight-spaced kitchen, including cabinet doors and hardware. Hanging above-the-stove microwave. Installed moulding between cabinets and ceiling.

I was very pleased with them and I would recommend them to others. Joe Fruciano was very easy to reach and he was very responsive. He called me before I even had to get in touch with him. The work was done in a timely manner. He and his workers came on time and when they said they would. There were times when I needed to leave them here alone, and I felt comfortable doing this. I thought they were very trustworthy. I'm thinking about doing a bathroom again in the future, and I would definitely hire them again.
Description of Work: They came to my home and did a kitchen remodel. He coordinated the project, except he contracted out the plumbing.
