Community Building & Restoration

Excellent.

We're very happy with their work and their responsiveness. They are professional, they clean up after themselves, and they do quality work even if it takes a little longer. I have an older house and they specialize in restorations and maintenance of such buildings--they understand why I might want to keep an original door, for instance.

They pad attention to detail. They had great customer service, the person we worked with got back to us promptly with quotes and gave us information with options to consider. It was very quick project and they did a great job.

They did very good work and had a professional attitude.

Overall the job went well. We would not hesitate to call Community Building and Restoration for an estimate on a future project.

Their communication was very good. From the beginning we knew when they would come and what they would do when they came. We felt like that they really heard us when we told them what we wanted to do and our concerns. When they work was done, we got a really good explanation of what they did, what happened and if anything was different, why it was different. They did an excellent job. They had a professional attitude and professional communication. The price was really fair.

Overall they were really very good. They were punctual and kept us up-to-date on everything .They were very concerned about craftsmanship and historical accuracy.

Carefully explained my options after telling me why my previous porch had failed. Maintained contact throughout the time it took to complete he project. Neighbors were impressed with their work ethic,

The carpentry company is reliable. They do what they say they are going to do. They are pretty good in their communication and they stand by their work. I thought they were a little expensive.

From initial contact to job completion, even when the weather got bad, they stayed on schedule, sometimes getting work done before we expected it.

We have contracted with this company before (cost estimating and the remodel of second floor space to make a laundry center) so we were confident that we would have a good experience and we did. Because of allergy issues the crew brought themselves and materials through a second floor opening into the shell they constructed. Community workers are extremely hard working whether the owner/worker is on site or not. Respectful, pleasant and anxious-to-please workers, office manager and owner. Good communication and attention to details. Coordinated subs and inspections well. Quickly and appropriately resolved an issue with a sub. We left town for several extended periods with no problem. They will do whatever is necessary to keep the home clean including (I love this one) changing from outside shoes to inside ones at the door each time they enter. Everyone who sees the work is impressed. We love the space. We plan to use them for new windows in other areas of the home.

They took over 3 months to get the estimate. They forgot about the bay window and the garage in the estimate. He was one hour late for the appointment. When he came in, he had to use the restroom, and directed him the gas station on the corner. He said that he didn't want to waste his time by coming back a second time. I gave him a list, and he automatically crossed off 3 items because they were "too small." I got the feeling that they didn't do restoration problems. So much time had elapsed, I had already contacted other companies.

We went through a long drawn out process to try and set up a time for an estimate so that my husband and I could both be home. The latest we could get would be 5:30 so we set that up. We rearranged our plans to be home for the appointment. I called back to verify the appointment was still on and the woman I spoke with told me the appointment had been cancelled because they didn't think they'd be able to do the job in the time frame we had talked about. When asked why she didn't contact us to know this she simply said she had forgot. It sounded to me that they were just not interested in our job because it may have been a little smaller than some other jobs they have done.

Erik worked well with us & the designer. We employed this company after they helped with the design & cost planning process. The finished laundry center is very well done. It was an easy process for us & they consulted us when necessary, often on a daily basis. Craftsmen were on time, courteous, hard-working, perfectionistic & friendly. The project was completed within the anticipated time frame. Subbed electric was not as prompt as we would have liked in resolving a problem, but this was not due to any inattention by Community. Creative & patient with trying to execute construction in a tight space that resulted in an extremely functional laundry operation. Some extra work that was very fairly priced by the hour. Cleanup was very good; attentive to owner's allergy problems. Good communication between workers, the company & owners. Certainly not as expensive as some very well known companies on the North Shore! We will hire them again for an addition to our home. They made it easy!

THEY WERE VERY PROFESSIONAL AND THOROUGH. THEIR WORK TURNED OUT BEAUTIFUL. WE ARE VERY PLEASED AND WOULD HIRE THEM AGAIN.

THEY ARE VERY EASY TO WORK WITH.

THEY DO EXCELLENT WORK, THEY ARE RELIABLE, COURTEOUS AND A PLEASURE TO WORK WITH. THEY ARE VERY PROFESSIONAL AND THEY TAKE CARE TO RESTORE THE ORIGINAL DETAIL OF THE STRUCTURE. THEY ARE ALSO VERY RESPONSIVE. THEY MAY COST A LITTLE MORE, BUT THEY ARE WORTH IT.
