Neary Construction

Billy is wonderful. He estimates accurately, he arrives on time, he does the work cleanly and efficiently and he is always willing to go the extra mile for the customer. As Billy would say, I'm a rather "particular" customer when it comes to how I like to have things done. Fortunately, Billy is equally as demanding when it comes to quality, so I never have to worry how things will turn out with him. With Billy, you always know what you're going to get and their's nothing more important than that.

Billy was one of several contractors I contacted for quotes; his price was on par with a few other builders we contacted. The other contractors I had come out for quotes were a bit pushy in their sales pitch and tried hard to upsell me on composite decking, rail systems, and lots of other work. However, Billy was very relaxed, knowledgeable, answered all my questions, and didn't push anything beyond what I was asking for. He arrived on the date work was scheduled to start and completed it in about 4 days. It probably would have taken much less time but the weather was very unforgiving and that forced him and his crew to stop early a couple days. However, they were here about 7AM every morning, were very friendly and professional, and didn't leave any kind of mess. The final cost was a few dollars under his original quote. The new deck looks great and we have no complaints.

I reached out to a number of contractors on Angie's List, as well as to another contractor (not currently shown on Angie's List) with whom I'd worked in the past. Billy Neary was the only one who called me back very promptly and he agreed to meet me at my apartment very early the following morning (before I had to be at work) to scope out the job. Within 24 hours he provided me with an estimate and he and his partner showed up to do the work three days later, exactly when he said he'd be there. The repair, which involved a fair amount of detailed finished carpentry, was beautifully performed within a couple of hours. Moreover, because he was able to salvage some of the existing hardware, he charged me less than his original estimate. Throughout, Billy was exceedingly professional and a pleasure to work with. I would engage him again without hesitation.

He didn't complete the final work. My main complaint, though, is that he overcharged. When my insurance rejected the claim because the final cost was so high, he refused to itemized the cost of his work for insurance company.

Willie was great to work with. We had an old door that was non-functional. He came in for a quote on time and was quick with a follow up. We found the price to be towards the higher end, but quality also deserves a higher price, and we got 100% of what we paid for. On the day of work he showed up right on time, and got right to work. His work is great. We could not be happier with our door. We paid exactly what was quoted. We will be using him again with any future needs of our house.

It went great. Billy Neary was very responsive and did the work without us even being there. I got home to a large shed with shiny new doors that won't rot out after a couple seasons.

No work, but response was excellent.

Billy was very responsive when I called for an estimate for the work to be completed. He provided a detailed estimate for each item of work and was prompt in answering all of my questions. He did an excellent job with the work requested and provided helpful suggestions for items that could be beneficial in the future (even if they were outside his scope of work). I have requested Billy to perform some additional work. I have even recommended him to my neighbor. The quality of work is very good and I would highly recommend him.

- Completed the project within the timeframe and cost that was originally proposed - Always showed up on time - Worked long hours (some days from 7am to 7pm) - Quality was excellent

They are too busy to take on work. Why have a deal advertised?

WELL. ARRIVED @ "CRACK OF DAWN". HAD TO LEAVE TO GET A DOOR KNOB BUT LEFT HIS COWORKER WHO CONTINUED THE INSTALLATION

Billy, and the carpenter working with him - Dermot - were wonderful. They were timely, super friendly and I felt very comfortable having them in my house. The work performed was excellent and they actually did some extra work at no extra cost. The finally tally was exactly as Billy had estimated, even though he ended up having to shop around for a piece of post to make using one of our original railings work. The solution was creative and looks great. We are thrilled with the finished product and will definitely use Billy again for future projects. No question.

I cannot say enough good things about Bill Neary & his crew. They were competitive in their pricing, prompt everyday, very clean & extremely professional. My husband & I plan on using him again in the future. I highly recommend Neary Construction!

. It went flawlessly. Bill had originally planned to do the work two weeks before but it didn't fit well with my schedule so he changed the work date. Bill responded quickly to all my emails and texts so that I knew exactly what was happening and when. Since the design of the porch was one that I came up with and the dimensions of the porch were odd due to the age of the house Bill had to custom make my half walls. When the job was finished he not only swept and vacuumed the porch and steps he also swept and vacuumed the walkway and the driveway. My next door neighbor who is in the construction business commented on the quality of the work and the neatness of my property after Bill left. This is the fourth time I have used Bill Neary for home repairs and I am saving money for project #5. If you need any home repairs done do yourself a favor and give Bill a call. This man is a rare bred in my experience with contractors -- he is on time, on budget, communicates and is neat.

I was working at home that day and observed Bill and his crew at work. They were at all times professional, competent, tidy, friendly, responsive to questions. We are very satisfied with the stairs they built for us (which I watched go together step by step), as well as incidentals such as the cleanup effort, the punctuality, and the professionalism exhibited at all stages. Bill Neary is a solid contractor, and I would not hesitate to hire him again.

Billy was great. He responded to my call by the next day from when I left a message on his phone. We corresponded by email to discuss the project, negotiate and agree on a quote, and schedule his visit. He arrived on time and completed this long overdue project in the time and cost he estimated. He was neat, professional and performed excellent carpentry with the materials, cuts and installation along with extra touches including sealing. Extra bonus from sealing this entranceway was the improved insulation to the basement which is much warmer now and less humid because all the outside air no longer gets in. Highly recommend Billy for his services, professionalism and timeliness.

Billy's a gem and we're having him back next month to upgrade and reframe a door. Our house is over 50 years old and in places it shows. We had rows of rotten clapboards that the previous owner had painted over, severe water damage on the clapboards where the electrical and gas pipes enter the house, flashing that had never been installed on the roof, a disconnected gutter due to a rotten board behind it and wood so soft surrounding a large picture window that you could put your finger through it. We called Bill on a Friday, Sat morning he arrived to diagnose the issues and by Saturday afternoon we had a quote. We sought out a couple of others and he was right in line. He was here bright and early the day after we hired him. He and his partner Brian worked quickly, efficiently and cleaned up well after themselves. Bill's greatest strength beyond his work ethic in my view was his honesty and ability to improvise. We initially planned for this to be a $15k job. He worked hard to save us money. He found a way to install the new clapboards and repair the damage around our electrical and gas pipes which saved us from hiring an electrician/plumber. He found a way to repair the gutter and the board behind it for $450 vs. the $2800 the alternative method would have cost. Great experience with Bill and we intend to continue using him.

not well. no work performed.

This is the 2nd time Bill and his crew have worked on our house. It went perfectly. here are some key highlights. 1. Bill is easy to contact and responsive via both phone and email 2. Fair price, I shopped a bit and talked to others who had work done similarly and his jobs are priced competitively. 3. Quality work. The deck came out beautifully. The decking is great and he was responsive to our concerns about how things should be done. There was a problem with the deck not being square when originally built and he had some nice workarounds for this problem. For the exterior wall repair they did a nice job removing old clapboards/fascia boards,etc and fixing the root cause of the problem. it looks as good as new! Tested by a heavy rainstorm the next day and the original problem was gone! No more risk of undue rot. 4. He has an assortment of funny employees that he draws upon, quite entertaining. Bill and his team are a hard working group of individuals. They do a quality job, clean up nicely after themselves. Furthermore, he was able to get to us quickly and get the job done. As this is the 2nd time we've used Neary Construction, i can say with certainty that both experiences have been excellent. Highly recommend.

Bill Neary is fantastic to work with. He came by to see what we needed to have done the very same day I called him (a Saturday!!). He was responsive and flexible. Initially we thought we wanted to re-do our back deck with some type of composite decking (like Trex) but as we considered the options (and read lots of reviews of people who weren't happy with composite decking over the long-term) we decided to just use pressure treated wood. Even though this would be a less expensive job, Billy didn't flinch and was happy to provide a quote for the less expensive material. He re-did our entire back deck in 2.5 days. We were very impressed with the quality of his work, his pleasant attitude, his thoroughness, his responsiveness and his fairness. Don't hesitate to call him. He's the right choice. We look forward to working with him again very soon. Thank you, Billy!

After interviewing several well rated Angie's list candidates, Billy was clear from the onset to the our best choice. He and his team were professional, curteous. His pricing was competitive, fair and My husband and I were a bit indecisive, Billy patiently came several times prior to obtaining the job to help us think things through and plan appropriately. He was a real help. Once we decided and began to moved forward, Billy was great to fit us in. He committed to dates and did all the work within the expected time. He and his crew were very respectful, every day they would clean up to make it as safe for our kids and as livable as possible for us throughout the entire process. We were very happy from beginning to end. There were no surprises and his budget was 100% dead on. Above all with everything I have already mentioned, the quality of his work was remarkable. Billy exceeded our expectations, as such we would be happy to have him come back once we are ready to move forward with any other work we want to do throughout the house.

Bill Neary was very easy to work with and the work was first class. I'm very happy with the quality of the materials he used, and was impressed by the fact that he personally selected the boards, as opposed to having them drop-shipped. The workmanship is top quality, and the deck looks great.

Excellent. Billy and his team were responsive, punctual and very easy to work with. The project was done efficiently and safely. The finished product is beautiful -- better than expected. The deck and surrounding area was left clean -- all debris/discarded railing. Will definitely consider them for future projects.

I needed the repairs done very quickly in preparation for my grandson's 6th birthday party. Billy Neary came quickly to provide an estimate which was precise, and he returned to complete the repairs in superb fashion in advance of my deadline for the quoted price. I observed the work and it was quite professional in its detail and precision. I would not hesitate to hire him again.

Bill responded to my phone inquiry promptly and quickly provided an estimate. All custom and specialty items (custom doors, copper cladding, thick nickel hinges) were ordered immediately and installed within a day of delivery. Bill's work is top quality. He works very efficiently, so costs based on hourly rate were considerably less than I anticipated. Bill was a joy to work with, and I plan to contact him for additional work this fall.
