Do NOT hire Dennis!! A project that should have taken 2 weeks, took over 6 weeks. To start, I contacted Dennis 3-4 weeks before we purchased a fixer upper house. He said he could start work the day after closing to get things going. The day of closing I reach out to Dennis to confirm he would be there in the morning and he informed me that he would be able to start for another week. To me that was unacceptable since this was schedule for about month. When the project finally started He would show up anywhere from 8AM-1PM and would only stay for a hour or two at the most. He was constantly making excuses that he had forgotten certain tools, had to finish other jobs he was working on, had to run to the hardware store to get something, etc. He said he would be right back but would wouldn’t return until the next day. Thankfully he wasn’t doing a lot of the work but had subcontracts do a majority of it. They worked hard and did a decent job. About a week or two after the project was complete, the new custom shower/tub that was put in wouldn’t turn off and was about to overflow onto the floor before I could get the water shut off. In the process some water went down the overflow drain and the next morning I have a large brown spot on my kitchen ceiling from the water. I had to have the water off to the whole house for over a day before I could get a plumber to come look at it. The plumber told me that the faucet was install wrong and with the wrong materials and that the overflow drain was put on backwards, leaving a large gap in the fitting. This is especially unacceptable because Dennis is a plumber. That night this happened I tried contacting Dennis about the issue to have him come fix it but he never answered. I had to foot the bill for the hundreds of dollars worth of mistakes he made. To be honest, there is a lot more I could say but I will spare you. I will definitely never hire him again!

Hi [Member Name Removed], First, I want to say I am sorry you are upset. When I first met you I explained that I was fitting you in and would be challenging. I had over two months of work started and already built into my schedule with other people as well. You were in a bind and we both knew that, I did start a few days late but I also 2 to 3 men there constantly so I could bounce to be on multiple jobs but men were at your job site daily getting work done. A lot more work got added onto your project after you were fully moved in, we had to move furniture constantly, work around your family life, and I think we did well under all those circumstances. When you are working on every room of a lived in house it takes three times longer. I was shocked to read the first couple of paragraphs that you wrote, more so, that you were unhappy. As far as the plumbing goes, there is only one way to install a shower valve. You purchased the shower valve and it happened to be faulty, and that happens. As far as a tub boot in waste and overflow, you can not put them upside down. You mentioned that you called me and I didn't answer, I don't recall the missed call but I did not receive a voice mail or I would have helped. I don't mind the rating what bothers me the most is the fact that you're unhappy and that undermines all that we did do in a short amount of to to do your job. I am very sorry you and your wife are displeased as that truly does bother me. Thank you.

HI [Member Name Removed], I am really sorry you feel this way. We completed this job [Member Information Removed] months ago and I know there was a problem with the up-flush toilet and I went and purchased a new one and brought the other one back to the manufacturer. There were also some delays with the sheetrocking and painting due to weather but if you were still upset I wish you had called me and I would have done whatever I had to to make sure you were happy. I was always responsive and feel the words you used are harsh and inaccurate, I am not a drinker and would be happy to come back out if the job is not to your liking. Thank you, Dennis

A&D Renovations was a dream to work and I'll consider them for all my future home projects from now on. I contacted Dennis based on his rating here on Angie's List and was not disappointed. He scheduled in my appointments around his busy schedule and provided me a professional and courteous experience. I always felt we were on the same page and Dennis welcomed phone calls or emails from me, even over the holidays if I had any questions. His focus was understanding my vision and to execute it as I wanted it done. The job was completed on time and looks fantastic. I highly recommend A&D Renovations to any friend or family member.
Excellent, Dennis arrived on time on scheduled date. Work required extensive scraping and calming prior to painting. Then on his recommendation a second coat of paint was applied. All within the quoted price.

Called Dennis on a Saturday during hours he says he is open. He was driving so he could not talk. He asked that we call back later in the day. We called back. He was at a party so he could not talk. He said he'd call us the next day. We received no call back from him. So we left him a message to call us. Now a week later, we never heard back from him! Frustrating and a waste of time!

Entire project went very smoothly, was done in a timely manner. Both men were easy to work with, and they do not leave your property until you are 100% satisfied.
Description of Work: Dennis and Mark replaced a leaking atrium patio door with a sliding door and replaced the interior door trim. Old pine siding was removed from the existing sunroom and replaced with cedar siding to match the main house. All the face boards around the roof were also replaced with cedar boards. They also built a beautiful set of stairs on the front of the house. All the workmanship was carefully and expertly done. All old materials were carefully disposed of. These men are reliable, knowledgeable and take great pride in their work. Our highest recommendation is given to these men. We will certainly use their services in the future with any future projects. Thank you Dennis and Mark for an outstanding job.

We have had considerable work done on our home over the past year and our experience with Dennis and Mark was by far the very best. They arrived on time, both have a wonderful work ethic and attention to detail. The tile work done by Dave is perfect. The pricing was very fair for the job which included totally gutting and replacing the flooring, tile, removing a fiberglass shower and replacing with a beautiful tiled shower, installing new vanity, toilet, etc. We also had exterior window sill and trim work done. My only regret is that we didn't have A & D do all the renovations in our home. I would highly recommend and would look no further should we do any more home projects.
A few years ago, we interviewed several top-rated contractors from Angie?s List to add a bathroom to our first floor. Dennis Fecteau of A+D Renovations was our favorite of the bunch?he took careful measurements, suggested solutions, and presented a formal proposal. In the end, we decided not to move forward with the work? BUT, fast forward 3 years: Last fall we moved into a new house that needed a LOT more work. Dennis was first on my list to call! He came to our home three different times to ensure an accurate proposal for all the different projects we wanted to do. Dennis always arrived on time, with a friendly smile and ready for the day. He usually brought a team with him (Marky and Kenny), and they were also extremely friendly, polite, and conscientious about caring for our home. They were so sweet to my 18-month old daughter as well! Occasionally, Dennis brought in subcontractors (electric and heating), and they were great too. I never had a single concern about leaving them in my home day after day?in fact, Dennis even offered to let my dog out on days that we had to leave the dog at home! They always asked permission before doing anything?for example, during the bathroom demolition process, they wanted to dispose of the material out a second floor window in order to avoid dragging it down our stairs and damaging the walls. They laid out protective coverings on the floors and window sill, and you would never even know that was the path they took! They always cleaned up nicely at the end of each day. Dennis displayed a high degree of professionalism in everything from the proposal to taking the time to clearly explain all my options?right down to the trim used on the new microwave shelf. No task was too big or small?he treated each one with equal care. And any extra work (outside of the contract) was always detailed in writing in an invoice so I could clearly see the fees, which were fairly priced. I highly recommend A+D renovations for any kind of work you may need in your home. I look forward to having Dennis and his team back in my home for another project someday.

He committed to providing estimates but never did...
Description of Work: I met Dennis from A&D Renovations on 01/31/2015 when he came to my home to review the scope of an upcoming project. After we met, he reassured me that he would be getting an estimate out to me within one week. Since then, I have contacted Dennis multiple times; he has not always returned my calls or emails. When I have spoken with him, he has reassured me the estimate was almost done and that he would be getting it to me the following week. This has gone on until today 03/11/2015, when I received an email from him indicating that he now has too much work to turn out any more estimates. Dennis has proven to me to be unreliable at best! 12/07/2015 I am updating my comments above as I just noticed that there has been a response from the contractor indicating that I was told how busy he was during our initial discussions. The fact is, I have an email from Dennis dated 02/01/2015 indicating that I would be receiving a quote within one week - I believe most reasonable people would consider that to be a commitment. If you were so busy you shouldn’t have committed to providing a quote within one week. The fact that you did not provide a quote at all is the problem – not that you were late… Every time we talked thereafter, you kept telling me you were close to completing the quote, and then 6 weeks after we started our discussion, I get the email from you telling me that are too busy to complete the quote… You are correct about one thing; you and I never conducted business. To that end, I should say that given my experience with your lack of responsiveness and unprofessionalism, I would never consider doing business with you in the future... Further, your failure allowed me to get a contractor who was quite capable, the project was actually completed on time and the company did a great job.

[member name removed], I understand your frustration however when we first spoke I told you that I had several customers ahead of you, with 2 having signed contracts. I told you I would work on your proposal but couldn’t give you a completion date. I completed approximately 70% of the proposal however due to your 14 page architectural plans it required conversations with several vendors & suppliers to get current pricing, most of which had to be performed during day time hours. Unfortunately for prospective customers as you I give my customers that I am working under contract 100% of my time to complete their project as soon as I can minimizing any inconvenience to them. You noted that you would not hire me again, truth be told I never worked for you, not 1 cent was passed between us. Also I do not give rough estimates as many contractors do. I give detailed project proposals with the completeness and accuracy so that they can go directly into a contract, all at no charge. Once again I apologize for any misunderstandings that have taken place. I wish you luck with your project.
-Removed sagging 6? x 17? enclosed porch and disposed of all debris. Everything except the porch floor was removed on day #1. -Concrete work: installed four 10? diameter sauna tubes and shored up the bulkhead walls using poured concrete and structured steel. -Built 6?x 17? addition. Installed 1 exterior door with a deadbolt lock, 1 very solid storm door, and 6 Low -E vinyl insulated windows (made in Maine). Exterior siding matches the house, the addition is fully insulated, sheetrocked, trimmed, and completely finished. Painting was not included. They installed a combination of tile and bamboo flooring. We purchased the tile and bamboo. -On the addition: they ran wiring and installed 3 lighting fixtures: 2 interior and 1 exterior. We purchased the lights. They installed 3 outlets, and one double switch. They built entryway steps on the addition, built entryway steps on the front of the house. They built a solid wood covering over the bulkhead with siding to match the house, doors over the entryway, and a bolt that latches inside the bulkhead doors. They repaired the door into the basement. They also installed an exterior light on the front of the house. We purchased the light. They installed flashing on the roof of the main part of the house to minimize ice dams that form in that spot. At no point in time were we concerned about the quality of the work. Several times, Dennis said,? if anything goes wrong, let us know, we?ll fix it?. We would hire A&D again in a heartbeat.
Description of Work: People I work with have told me they were quoted $35,000 to put a dormer on their house. We needed to replace our 6’ x 17’ enclosed back porch on our 100+ year old house before winter, because it wasn’t going to make it through another Maine winter. A bulkhead runs underneath the porch. When the existing porch was added, the bulkhead trench was extended to 10 feet long. The walls of the newest part of the bulkhead were beginning to cave in. We needed to keep the bulkhead, because it’s the only way we can get a washer and dryer into the basement. Due to circumstances beyond our control, we weren’t able to start asking for quotes until September of 2014. When Dennis first came to our house to review the situation and quote, it was clear he had the knowledge to tackle the whole job. It was also clear that he wasn’t about to build anything that wasn’t up to code, and before he could quote, we needed to find out exactly what the town code requirements were. There were no unpredictable additional charges for any of the work. No “Oops! We need another $700 for this or that.” We were amazed at how much was accomplished each day when we came home from work. There were time constraints for the concrete work, due to the fact that it was going to get cold soon. All of the concrete work was completed before freezing weather set in. Dennis and Mark began work on October 20, finished the first week of December, and we are thoroughly delighted!
