Bioconstrucción en Dover, NH

“I'm happy to give Scott Curtice my strongest positive recommendation. Our project went quite smoothly, staying on schedule thanks to the fact that my office is in the house and Scott's commitment to providing a foreman. This enabled us to make decisions quickly and address problems promptly. Scott and his crew showed a lot of creativity in meeting our requirement to stay in the house during the renovation, to the extent of setting up a temporary kitchen and shower in the basement. In the end, we only had to be out of the house for about a week. He was also very good about coordinating with our architect and the cabinetmaker that we selected ourselves. Having heard a few horror stories of renovation cost overruns, I think we also did well in this respect. Our final figure was about 10% more than the initial estimate due to the kind of unforeseen issues that can be expected on any such project, along with a few changes that we ordered. The level of detail Scott provides in his constantly updated spreadsheet also helped us to make some decisions that reduced our cost.”

“We had Great Northern Builders completely finish our large basement, and Len Bogh did a great job. I never thought we could transform that basement into such a comfortable living space. My husband, who recently retired, is now putting his home office down there and he loves the space. It is also great when we have all the family staying here over Christmas. We can sleep 4 or 5 people down there.”

“We worked with Carpenter & MacNeille over the winter and early spring of 2014 to redecorate The Inn at Castle Hill, a ten-room B&B in Ipswich, Massachusetts. The project included new and reupholstered furniture, new rugs/carpeting, new paint and wallpaper, new lighting, new window treatments, and accessories (accent pillows, decorative items, etc.), and a small amount of construction. We were looking for "design wow" in keeping with the five-star nature of the Inn, which is nestled into a corner of The Crane Estate, a seaside country estate that has been designated a National Historic Landmark. We are thrilled with the results. Carpenter & MacNeille had done much of the original design and construction for the Inn a decade before. They listened carefully to our goals for this project, understood precisely what we hoped to accomplish, helped us prioritize in ways that significantly improved our impact, and provided insightful design guidance along the way. The project was on budget and guests are saying that the Inn has never looked better!”

“We chose Sunspace Design over other companies because we wanted a custom sunroom- not a one-size-fits-all outfit that assembles pre-made components. They carefully listened to our wishes, and designed just what we asked for! They custom-build an 18' x 14' Glass Conservatory attached to our home. They also made helpful suggestions to give us a unique room, complete with varnished mahogany ceiling beams and an all-glass roof. Their workmen are professionals with many years of experience- not easy to find these days when anybody with a hammer can call themselves a carpenter. They strategically used cedar in places to assure no rotting wood in the decades to come. When we asked for changes along the way, they had the experience to know how to accomplish it. We also interviewed other sunroom companies, but they could only offer pre-fab units in limited sizes... basically, they were "assemblers" for large franchises- exactly what we didn't want. Sunspace Design builds custom rooms- based on what you want, how you want it, and something that doesn't look like it came from one of the 'Box Stores'. Tom, his son, JT, and their crew were all very qualified professionals, each with many years of experience. We highly recommend Sunspace Design!!!”

“Quality that is rare today. Fenton Varney was recommended to me by a very happy client, after I bemoaned the lack of "old-world" quality in home construction . I plan to have them handle our kitchen, formal entrance, master bath, and porch remodel.”

“Tim and his crew did a total reinvention of our 1700s era cottage, and made it into a cozy little jewel. They added extra square footage, moved walls, dug a basement, and more, and made us a perfect little getaway. Couldn't recommend them more highly.”

“MR Brewer provided construction management and carpentry work for the second floor master bedroom. extention included framing, finish work and project management for the removal of stucco siding (and its replacement) to the entire exterior of the house. Contractor was responsive and fair in it's pricing. Quality work through out. This is the third renovation project MR Brewer has done for me.”

“Installed a great new kitchen in our old house. Worked around the quirky antique dimensions. Very good value for the price.”

“Blackdog contractors were the perfect fit for us---they were as interested in giving us exactly what we wanted as we were in getting it. Blackdog builders are not the contractors of those horror stories you hear about; they're the contractors you dream about---RELIABLE, competent, fair-minded, communicative, efficient, and true to their word. Their craftsmanship is unparallelled. They completely demolished/re-designed/re-built our entire kitchen, and we are 100% satisfied. When was the last time you were 100% satisfied? With ANYTHING?”

“Erik, I would like to take a moment to thank you for the opportunity to work with you at the completion of your two most recent home builds. As always, it was tremendous to see the beautiful work that you did on these two homes. As I photographed the properties, I was impressed not only with the quality of your work, but also how happy the homeowners were in speaking about their experience with you. I guess I'm not the only one who enjoys your professional, creative & easygoing approach! Thanks again for giving me such beautiful subjects to photograph, Beth Therriault”
