He had it done in no time at all and the results were spectacular. He gave my home great curb appeal.
Description of Work: My entire lawn was a mess; bald spots, crabgrass, no grass. I planned on listing my home to purchase in another town. I called Pierre Garand. He came by to see what I wanted. I wanted all flower beds pulled out and the entire lawn hydroseeded.

I called Pierre Garand when I had water come in to one of the bedrooms. He responded quickly, came to see the damage and talked to me about what type of roofing tiles I wanted. I wanted the chimney cap replaced, too. When he started the job he found that a pervious owner had placed tiles over the original tiles. I asked him to remove them all and tile the roof. Pierre found the ridge vent had not been installed properly and he fixed the issue.

Awesome ! They were friendly and trustworthy and very respectful of our home and our schedules. Peace of Mind's communication is OUTSTANDING. I knew what was happening and why it was happening at all times...they explained everything and always took time to make sure we understood and were pleased. We did run into a glitch with the cabinets and if it wasn't for Pierre catching the mistake (our designer - not his)made on measuring - we would have cabinets that didn't fit ! He caught this and took care of communicating with our designer to change the cabinet order ! They cleaned up the work areas everyday so I never felt like we were walking through a construction zone. When I had to make a decision and couldn't find what I needed - Pierre Garand went above and beyond helping me narrow down my choices and going with me to the various stores. cannot say enough ! They were great and I'm already working on our bathroom renovation with them as well !

Response from Peace of Mind Home Improvements
Hi [Member Name Removed] Your project was dropped back in the spring. Plain and simple - We apologize. Our crew at the time was very short. Working hard during the day and estimating at night was unrelenting. Very sorry to have disappointed you. Since you evaluated us poorly some time ago, we figured that the relationship was lost and did not pursue it further. On August 28 per Angie's List, you updated the evaluation again - is that right? Is the project still note done? Would you like us to come visit and start the engagement over again? Since April POM has added an estimator to help get in front of the load of work we have. We promise the experience will be totally different. Please let us know direct via email to "peaceofmindhomeimprovement(atsign)comcast.net" (Angies list won't allow use of the (atsign) in their mail client..ugh) Regards, Pierre

This request fell through the cracks. Most (99%) of our correspondence is via email and face to face and not by phone. If this response gets back to Mr. [Member Name Removed] we would love the chance to recover from this poor evaluation.

Pierre and his crew (Frank and Richard) are our local Holmes on homes - (a contractor on TV that corrects any and all problems he comes across when correcting what another contractor has done). Pierre and his employees take great pride in their work.. He made our outdated, blah kitchen our dream kitchen. Each step of construction was explained and reviewed. If there were problems, and there were some that could not be anticipated the problem was explained and the solution provided. Each job that was performed was completed correctly. Unlike previous contractors we've used. His job completion was timely and his work impeccable. We have a small dog that thinks anything on the floor is edible. Which was a huge concern for us. Each and every day the work area was cleaned of all debris and his tools and materials stacked neatly out of our way. Pierre's contractors for plumbing, heating and ventilation were all professionals as well. When our kitchen was complete he had a lovely lady come in and clean our kitchen. Just another testament to Pierre's desire to do the right thing. Would we use Peace of Mind Home Improvement again? YES! Would we recommend Pierre Garand and his crew to friends and family? ABSOLUTELY! He is a gem in a field of thieves. His integrity and respect for others is phenomenal. He's actually going to refinish our hardwood floors and do some other projects in the Fall.
Description of Work: Designed new kitchen and gutted old kitchen. Corrected plumbing issues and electrical wiring deficiencies. Added lights in attic and corrected electrical to washer. Added recessed lighting in kitchen, removed ceiling fan and patched ceiling. Tore out old base floor and added new base floor to align with abutting hardwood flooring. Laid new porcelain tiles. Removed half wall and added area at counter for seating. Installed new cabinets and beautiful granite counter tops. Installed dish washer. Dry walled and taped kitchen, painted and patched walls and ceilings as necessary. This was an enormous undertaking.

From the very first meeting in March, Pierre Garand of Peace of Mind, was personable and extremely attentive to my needs. After I explained what I wanted and the timeframe he got to work. Construction began in May with the garage which went on schedule. As construction got underway for the apartment, Pierre kept me informed of what was going on, step by step. I was very impressed with his attention to detail and also taking the time with me picking out lighting fixtures, appliances, cabinets and such. Pierre was on site everyday working long days in order to complete this huge project on time. The entire process took four months and I could not be more pleased with the end result. I would definitely recommend Pierre Garand for any construction big or small because he is the real deal.

I first contacted Pierre Garrand on August 4th requesting an estimate on work we needed done in our home. I believe he came out to the house August 25th. I emailed him in the evening on August 26th with information and pictures of the tile and granite we were interested in. With several phone calls, texts, and emails, we have yet to hear from Pierre Garrand with an estimate for the work we need done. My last text to him was on September 11th. My last email to him was on September 12th requesting an estimate. It is now October 12th and no response!
Description of Work: The provider came to my home, looked at the work we were needing done, and took measurements.

When we originally contacted Pierre, his summer schedule was pretty full and we were going to put the remodel off until the fall. We are a military family and received notice that we had to move within three months. We contacted Pierre with our situation and he did everything he could to fit us in so that we could get our home on the market in time. We are very pleased with our kitchen and there is no doubt that everything was completed properly. We highly recommend Peace of Mind Home Improvements, their work is professional and price reasonable. If we weren't moving we would use them for all of our future home improvements as well.
Description of Work: This past winter we had an ice dam that damaged our kitchen ceiling and cabinets. Pierre Garand and his crew gave us a beautiful new kitchen. We have a new ceiling, cabinets and countertops. New plumbing and electrical work was also completed to bring our kitchen up to code.

It went very well. I suspected there was moisture under the floor and was very interested in protecting my investment and updating the bathroom which was very dated. I chose to keep the tub enclosure and sink. I asked Pierre to make all the decisions regarding the color and design. He has an impeccable eye and everything he puts his hand to come out beautifully;. he knows techniques that you do not find in design magazines. He replaced the fixtures on the sink to complement the décor lights, medicine cabinet. Pierre used a gorgeous color on the walls and had a custom made shade for the moldings and wainscoting. He found towel racks that matched the fixtures and medicine cabinet. It is gorgeous! The rotted sub floor and spongy drywall caused a little more expense and time for the job. I appreciate that Pierre dealt with it instead of simply covering the spongy drywall with paint. I trust him to do a good job and advise me of anything I need to know rather than just do a remodel and be done with it.
Description of Work: He completely gutted the bathroom. Baseboard was removed, sanded it down and repainted it. Floor was rotted below sub floor and was repaired. All drywall and blown in insulation was removed and replaced with new drywall & baths of insulation. Complete update of electrical, installed recessed lighting and replaced existing exhaust fan that did not function. Pierre installed new fixtures, applied finish to the walls, with 4 piece wainscoting and crown molding on the ceiling. Replaced doors because they were mismatched. Installed beautifully detailed moldings around doors and window. Installed rectangular shaped tile on the floor.

Having suddenly been in a position that I had to use a wheelchair, I needed a ramp built within a very tight deadline in order to be able to get to an important appointment. Peace of Mind Home Improvement was at the site when they said they would be, completed the ramp in a very short period and conducted their business in a very professional manner. The ramp is very sturdy and is within all required building codes. They gave me an exceptionally low cost due to my situation and completed the site clean up thoroughly and in a timely manner. They were a pleasure to have at my home!
Description of Work: They built a ramp off the porch for wheel chair access

Pierre and his guys were at my house first thing in the morning the day after I called him about ice dams/leaks on my roof. They cleared off all the snow from my my house, mudroom and garage and removed the ice dams from the affected area. They did a fabulous job cleaning up the snow from our walkway, driveway, patio and deck once they were done on the roof; I didn't have to do any clean up once they left. Pierre even called after it snowed and rained again the following day to make sure we didn't have any additional leaking. Will (and have) used Peace of Mind Home Improvements again in the future.

I have the biggest, most beautiful carport that was ever built! Pierre Garand, owner of Peace of Mind Home Improvements gave me everything I wanted and some things I hadn't thought of. He built the carport with one wall so that snow doesn't come in to the carport from the side. He went far enough beyond the side door and steps so that I do not have to clean snow from the steps. What I hadn't thought of was making it a beautiful structure AND he built it so that it can easily be turned into a garage in the future. It adds to the value and appearance of my home and keeps raindrops from falling on my head. I LOVE it!
Description of Work: Pierre Garand built a carport that is 27'x22'. I wanted coverage for all 3 cars and I wanted to be able to get to my side door without being in the elements. I did not want a garage; I wanted a carport, a place where we could eat outside in the summer and lounge in the hammock on nice days out of the sun. I never wanted to clean snow off the cars or shovel snow off the side steps again. I wanted a place to store my generator. In the past we had always had to cut a path to the small shed where the generator was stored and then pull it out through snow or mucky grass....and start it in the pouring rain.

I stayed in the house...he brought a ladder, shoveled the snow from the roof and asked to use the snowblower so they could remove the snow from the pathway and also widen the driveway. It was finished very quickly and timely, as more snow is forecasted for the weekend.
Description of Work: Water was dripping in from my bow window. Even though we had raked the roof a couple times, it seems we had an ice dam on the roof. I called Peace of Mind Home Improvements and the owner came with his assistant and shoveled every speck of snow from the roof and widened the driveway and removed snow from the pathways.

It went very well. Pierre identified the issues with the soffits, dealt with the siding contractor and replaced all my windows. I helped me choose honeycomb shades for the windows in the bow window and installed them. That room gets a tremendous amount of sunand I wanted shades against the sun that were attractive.
Description of Work: Pierre Garand, owner of Peace of Mind Home Improvement replaced 8 double hung windows and replaced an old rotten cracked picture window with a bow window. Previously I had had a siding contractor replace my clapboard siding with vinyl siding. When Pierre removed the windows he found that the siding contractor had not vented soffits properly. He called me and encouraged me to call the siding contractor. He said I would likely have mold and curling issues on my roof. Pierre said he would show him the issue. I called the siding contractor who came to the house when I was at work. He told Pierre he puts soffits in every 16 inches. Pierre showed him the exposed soffits and showed him there was no venting at all. The siding contractor returned, vented all the soffits and left me a note of apology. Pierre also pointed out that the flashing was not properly installed. The siding contractor said they always do it that way. Pierre would have installed it to ensure it was water-tight. After that I have never used another contractor. I trust Pierre to do a good quality job and to make it aesthetically pleasing.

IIt went very well. I rented a pod to hold all furniture as my house is a small ranch. Pierre has great attention to detail. I asked him to choose the colors. He showed me some samples and showed me how to find a color that would complement the furniture and rug I have. People who come into my house always comment on the color and have asked what it is so they can use it in their own houses. I got a great result from Peace of Mind. An elderly friend who was a finish carpenter sometimes visits. He was blown away by the quality of Pierre's work, specifically the crown moulding. Pierre advised me on how to increase the value of my home and have a beautiful space and that's exactly what I got.
Description of Work: Pierre Garand, owner of Peace of Mind Home Improvement removed wallpaper from walls in living room, kitchen and one bedroom. Pierre Garand prepped the walls, skimmed coated, primed and painted walls. Washed and painted ceilings in those rooms. Installed crown moulding in living room and bedroom. He chose the colors at my request and applied rag effect to the walls in my bedroom. He replaced all doors, trims and door casings. He also refinished the wood floors in the living room and all 3 bedrooms. He built an entertainment center and installed surround sound in ceiling.
