I had architectural plans already. I asked for a bid. He came quickly and let me know the bid would be ready in a couple of weeks. However, then the head of East Side had a family crisis so he couldn't get me the bid on time. I really wanted to work with them because I was so impressed with their reviews and professionalism, so I asked him just to do a bid for one room of the house so I could get a feeling for their prices. The winning bid would get the whole house remodel. I didn't hear back for quite a while. After emailing and calling repeatedly for three months, I finally got the bid. I had expected it to be higher than others because of this team's exceptionally high quality and reputed speediness on the actual job. However it was double - that's 100% higher - than the other two bids I'd gotten. I don't know if that's because he really didn't want the job because he was too busy or if their prices are really nosebleed compared to competitors. In the end I gave the job to another firm who are doing a fine job so far with it.
Description of Work: Submitted a bid to do a major home renovation worth low six figures.

Went extremely well - kept to schedule (actually faster than originally scheduled) and came in almost $1,200 under budget, as certain items/costs were not ultimately necessary. Crew was efficient & timely, and did quality work - clean-up done well every day

I had a number of items to be done around the house. Chris and his crew added shutters to our home, helped with some issues with the stairs and electrical wiring. The fellows were very nice and polite, and arrived promptly on the days they were supposed to. I have contacted them again (5 times) both through telephone and email and they have not responded. I know they are busy, but they have lost my business due to the lack of response. Overall, their work when you can get them is great.

East Side Construction was the highest quote that we received of the 4 companies that we contacted and they were worth every penny! We went with the highest quote because after meeting with Chris at his showroom we understood that they would be using the highest quality materials in our renovation. Chris and his team were professional and informed us of everything that was occurring with the construction on a daily basis. The renovation took approximately 5 weeks and they stayed true to the schedule that they provided to us. I cannot stress enough how highly we recommend East Side Construction for any remodeling projects that you are considering.
Description of Work: East Side Construction renovated our basement into a beautiful family room.
Chris is extremely professional and his team was equally as efficient, kind and helpful. From the beginning he demonstrated a lot of patience while we thought through our ideas for finishing our basement. He was extremely knowledgeable about the process and was able to provide us with samples to review. The entire project was completed in a timely fashion after we decided upon materials and a time frame. There was virtually no mess or disruption to our existing home and space and the team was courteous and tidy. We were extremely satisfied with the entire process and there were no delays, concerns or problems. Our vision for the finished space was accomplished exactly as we had imagined. The few minor items that we wanted changed or altered were done without any hesitation. Chris responded promptly and patiently to all our questions. We couldn't be happier with our new space. We would highly recommend East Side Construction for any remodeling or construction project - after searching many contractors we are so happy that we chose to have Chris and his team finish our basement.
Description of Work: We had an unfinished basement that we wanted to be redesigned and finished. Chris was able to help us conceive an idea for our basement and also had his associate, a designer help in this process. We decided upon a plan that included dividing our basement space into an office area, gym and living room area. He reviewed the necessary changes involved and constructed dividing walls, watersealed the walls and sprayed insulation. His team was involved with placing track lighting as well as recessed lighting. In the office he placed tray ceiling, designed cupboard space and constructed shelving units. He installed our dehumidifier, french doors and all lighting. We had flooring installed and they completed all painting and installation of our electronics.

East Side Construction worked carefully and efficiently. Each day I could see remarkable results. The project was completed within two weeks; in those two weeks was a lead time for the new countertops. Chris made sure everything was finished correctly and exchanged cabinetry that he wasn't satisfied with. He also made sure that I went through the kitchen and told him any issues I may have had. My new kitchen was up and running in plenty of time for Thanksgiving dinner and I have received many compliments. The team was neat, polite and very respectful of my home. I absolutely will use East Side Construction again.
Description of Work: In wanting to remodel my turn of the century kitchen, I had no idea where to begin. I found Chris online, and he referred me to Cypress Design as a place to start. Once ready with the design, I met with Chris so he could take his measurements and we could discuss other logistics of the remodel. I felt his price was very fair. Chris and his team installed overhead and base cabinetry, moved my kitchen sink, installed a moulding on existing beadboard around the kitchen, installed a tile backsplash and repurposed original bead board for a backsplash. They also installed my dishwasher and overhead microwave. Chris also worked with my father who had a few suggestions of his own regarding some plumbing for the new placement of the sink.

I called East Side Construction to have my kitchen remodeled, they referred us to Cypress Design Co. for design work and materials. Once Cypress Design Co. finished the plans and we chose all our materials, Chris came back and using their plans gave us a very detailed proposal on the costs to install all of the products. Once we approved his proposal, he then sent us a very detailed contract with payment schedule and then a construction schedule listing the start date through the completion date and all the different tasks and the days they were to be completed. Before our project started Chris had a few visits with the different trades people and secured all the proper permits, as well as taking quite a bit of time to explain the entire process. About a week before the project was to start East Side Construction dropped off some complimentary boxes for me to put all of my plates, dishes, pots and pans in - which I though was a really nice touch. The day the project was to start the crew arrived bright and early and spent most of the day installing dust barriers and moving my furniture so that nothing would get damaged. The project went along just as the schedule described, even though I made a few changes along the way. Chris spent time explaining to me about the changes and the extra costs and gave me everything in a written description. My project was completed a week early and I absolutely love my kitchen. East Side Construction's crew were very polite, very neat and clean. One of my co-workers remodeled her kitchen before mine and went with the cheapest bid she could find and had nothing but a huge, long drawn out horror show. I know East Side Construction wasn't the cheapest, but my finished product and the experience from start to finish was well worth the money.
Description of Work: Total kitchen remodel.

I would, without hesitation, recommend East Side Construction for any remodeling job. Professional, fully insured, great communication, fair pricing, and a job finished completely and on time. We were absolutely satisfied with every aspect of the job and that is the first time I can say that about a contractor that has done work in our home. We will only use East Side going forward and we have already recommended them to our family and friends.
Description of Work: East Side Construction just completed a full remodeling job on our master bathroom. The work was completed on time, on budget, and in a profesional manner. From start to finish the process was seamless. The estimate was complete, detailed, and delivered in a timely manner. They were not the cheapest bid but they came so highly recommended that we thought it was a good idea to pay a few dollars more and get quality work. We were not dissappointed. Chris (the owner) communicated with us throughout the process and the crew showed up when they said they would and worked in a professional manner. The jobsite and surrouding area was immaculate every day when the crew departed and they always interacted with our family in a friendly and professional way. The job was completed on time (before Thanksgiving) just as they said it would be and we couldn't be happier. Our once dated bathroom looks like it should be featured in a magazine.

East Side Construction folks are wonderful. I could regularly communicate with Chris, about the work to be done each day. He would give us a plan for each day's work, in advance, and then frequently send me an email, letting me know what had been done, at the end of the day. We gave Chris a house key, and his crew is completely trustworthy, to work in the house while we are out at work ourselves. All work was completed beautifully. Chris is also a great resource for advice about how to handle repairs, and what the choice are. We really trust his experience and judgement.
Description of Work: We had significant damage to our house from Tropical Storm Irene, and East Side Construction was just wonderful with all aspects of the emergency clean-up; and all repairs. We had cracked rafters, multiple punctures to the roof; a broken chimney; windows damaged; siding damaged; gutters and trim were damaged; and interior ceilings were damaged by water. East Side Construction worked efficiently and professionally, to tackle all aspects of the damage. Repairing the rafters and roof were done first; since they were the most critical to preventing further damage to the interior. Then they worked on the interior repairs, and screens. All of the men that work with East Side Construction are extremely careful when working in the house - not damaging anything; and completely trustworthy. East Side Construction had renovated our kitchen and bathroom, several years ago. That project went beautifully, and we were so glad they could help with this emergency repair work, too.

We were extremely pleased with the outcomes of both projects and look forward to working with East Side Construction again in the future. Chris' thorough knowledge of his trade and lead safety techniques instilled confidence during both projects. His excellent working relationships with his sub contractors kept both projects on schedule and budget. He and his crew have extremely high standards and complete the highest quality of work. Both projects started on time and were completed on schedule. Cannot say enough good things about all of the crew members that worked in our home. They were extremely professional, courteous, patient, clean, and kind.
Description of Work: We originally hired East Side Construction to finish our basement into a family/play room in the spring of 2010. We live in a historic home which meant that the project was a a significant undertaking involving substantial demolition and a full remodel including: new framing, insulation, windows, electrical, heat, sump pump, finish work, etc. They space is fantastic. We were so pleased with outcome of the basement and the experience that we had with East Side Construction that we hired them again to remodel our family bath on the second floor. Once again this was a major undertaking that required full demolition of two rooms, all new plumbing, new steam lines, insulation, electrical, windows, finish work, fixtures, etc. Chris and his crew did not disappoint again. Our new bathroom is not only beautiful it is extremely functional for a family of four.
