His response was prompt and timely since my husband is in hospice. His solutions for the projects that needed attention were clear, concise, and affordable. His suggestions for future work were sensible. O’Shea Builders are very reliable and professional. We highly recommend them. **Comment from O'Shea Builders LLC.:** > Thank you Karen, It was a pleasure to work with you and I look forward to helping out with those future projects. **★★★★★ — Ali Omur, Feb. 2023** > We are glad we contracted O'Shea Builders to do our kitchen remodel. The owner, Warren, came out and spent time listening to what we wanted, and worked hard to meet our vision and kept close to our budget. The workers are dependable, friendly, and on time and didn't shy away from any extra requests we had during the construction. Thanks also to Jeff; he worked hard and we enjoyed having him around. We would definitely work with the O'Sheas again for future projects on the house. **Comment from O'Shea Builders LLC.:** > Thank you for kind words Ali. I'm happy that you chose us to work on your home and I greatly appreciate your patience with us, and the challenges of renovating a 200 yr old home. **★★★★★ — Steve and Julie Windham Maine, Feb. 2023** > We hired Warren and his team to fix stairs to code that the previous contractor failed to do. He sent over a team of two carpenters that were extremely talented, professional, had great communication skills and they repaired the stairs to code on-time and within budget. We always felt like the team was doing the work in their own homes which is a great feeling. They left the work area better than when they arrived. I can't say enough about their work ethic and I highly recommend Warren and his team to work on any project. He exceeded our expectations and we will be using him again for any remodeling project we have. **Comment from O'Shea Builders LLC.:** > Thank you Steve and Julie. We couldn't do what we do with out great employees like James and Roger. **★★★★★ — crea3110, March 2022** > Warren and his team effectively helped me completely re-model my house. What started out as intentions to "subtly improve" ended up evolving into a "down to the studs" overhaul with O'Shea builders being understanding, communicative and patient throughout the entire process. Also given the extreme challenges with logistics that 2021 was as well!! We worked through challenges and were accommodated through the entire process. They were even very patient with my numerous particularities!! > All in all a great finished product to a property to be used for years to come and a relationship that will continue moving forward for any advice and or further amendments!! **Comment from O'Shea Builders LLC.:** > Many thanks Sir! It was definitely a pleasure to work with you! **★★★★★ — Matthew L, Feb. 2021** > We consulted with Warren on multiple projects. He's one of the most knowledgeable, professional and dedicated builders I've ever worked with. I'd highly recommend him for any project - big or small. **Comment from O'Shea Builders LLC.:** > Many thanks Matthew, you are in good and capable hands! **★★★★★ — Christine Campbell, Sept. 2020** > Warren and his team first worked with us on a kitchen remodel a few years ago, and then recently came back to do some custom cabinetry and a kitchen refresh for us. I have worked with many, many builders and construction teams in this area and would not hesitate to recommend O'Shea Builders over any of them. Warren is responsive and a great communicator, and his team's workmanship, attention to detail, cleanliness, and quality was top notch. **Comment from O'Shea Builders LLC.:** > Thank you, Christine. It's always a pleasure to work with you and Rob. **★★★★★ — Tania Bowen, June 2020** > Warren and his crew recently finished a full gut remodel of a bathroom and laundry room that turned out to be much trickier than originally anticipated as the building is almost 150 years old. Despite the complications that arose due to the age of our home, Warren and his very capable crew completed the job beautifully. The quality of the work is excellent. We were living in another state while they completed the work prior to our moving here and, despite the distance, we felt very confident in the work being done as they communicated with us on a regular basis regarding the progress of the work, providing pictures and getting our input as needed. Waren and his crew are highly skilled, were always dependable and very easy to work with. We highly recommend them! **Comment from O'Shea Builders LLC.:** > Thank you so much Tania and Max. OSB is incredibly fortunate to be able to have clients such as yourselves! **★★★★★ — Scott Waring, May 2020** > My wife and I spoke fairly extensively with Warren about our house remodel, and he was nothing but helpful and knowledgable. We went with another contractor but that is no fault of Warren's had things on our end gone differently we would have hired him in a heart beat. **Comment from O'Shea Builders LLC.:** > I'm sure you'll have other projects in the future and I'll be happy to help. I hope your current goes off without a hitch! **★★★★★ — Angeline Marcotte, Feb. 2020** > Great guy, great team. Responded quickly to inquiries and changes made during process. His team completely renovated two rooms in an ancient house without a single level board in the place, and they did an outstanding job. They also built a great set of stairs leaving the building. Highly recommend Warren for whatever your needs. **★★★★★ — David Dunn, Jan. 2020** > The project entailed expanding a 1/2 bath to a full bath with a roll-in shower to accommodate a wheelchair. It turned out beautifully. > Also, Warren and crew performed several services unrelated to the bathroom project that were of enormous help to me and my family. > I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again or recommend them to others. **Comment from O'Shea Builders LLC.:** > Thank you David. We're always ready to help. ( I really like how the shower looks too!) **★★★★★ — Keith Carson, Dec. 2019** > Warren is the man. Very knowledgeable, professional and prompt. We had a gut job renovation that we started with another contractor; after that contractor walked off in the middle Warren helped put all the pieces back together and finish the job. > Now he's my go to contractor for jobs big and small. **Comment from O'Shea Builders LLC.:** > Thank you Keith. We are ready for when you need us again! **★★★ — Todd Parker, June 2019** > They are friendly, responsive and capable, but we wished we had gotten a clear estimate of labor hours and approximate project cost beyond the hourly rate prior to hiring them. > > We hired O'Shea based upon referrals from friends to tape and mud a the small project that is outlined in the pictures. With exception to a small portion in the stairwell, for which I provided the drywall, I did all the cutting and hanging of drywall. > > It is a given that there is down time when taping and mudding because it has to dry, so when it was suggested that it would take a few days for our project I didn't think much of it as I assumed these would be ~2 hour days laying coats of mud and coming back the next day to sand and mud more. After completing the sanding, they painted a coat of primer on which we provided. > > After four days of work we received our weekly invoice, billing for 23 hours of work, with an estimated 1-2 more days needed to complete the project, which frankly, was shocking. They are very clear about labor rates and materials markup, but we felt that the estimated time required to do the project was not clear and that the work was not done as efficiently as it should have been based on prior experience and consulting with other contractors after the fact. We were expecting 8-10 hours max to complete a project this size. While it looked pretty good overall, there were some small bubbles and raised areas in the spots that were completed that we feel should not be noticeable given the time spent. Had the job taken less time, we would have been satisfied with the results. > > The conversations that ensued were regrettably a bit charged, but ultimately Warren was willing to compromise on the total cost of the project to better meet our expectations, which was greatly appreciated. **Comment from O'Shea Builders LLC.:** > My sincerest apologies for the delayed response. > I'm sorry the project did not progress as quickly as you would have thought. I'd like to suggest that the extra time taken for superior dust control was likely a factor, as well as the difficulty of one man working alone in a staircase. I can assure you that had we not been removed from the project, the finished product would have exceeded your expectations. ## Selected projects - [West end Townhouse](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/west-end-townhouse-pj-vj~3138909) - Location: Portland, ME - Photos: 15 - [HGTV's "Vacation House For Free" episode \#10 "Cottage on the Lake"](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/hgtv-s-vacation-house-for-free-episode-10-cottage-on-the-lake-pj-vj~1197969) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 18 - Description: Complete renovation of out-of-date lakeside cabin. - [Yarmouth Master Bath](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/yarmouth-master-bath-pj-vj~1171752) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 19 - Description: A compact and modern master bath nestled between the master bedroom and the laundry room.

It is welcoming but still very elegant. What wood species for cabinets and what kind of stone for countertops? The balance of warm and cool colors is perfect. A: Thank you, the cabinets are cherry from Crown Point Cabinetry. I'm unsure of the stone as it was some time ago. **Q: Mantel details?** *(in Photo Questions)* Would you know what the details of the mantel are? Height and width? It looks really rustic cool! Thanks. A: I don't have precise dimensions but the length is about 5' and it was a 10"x10" beam that came out of a 200 year old barn in central Maine. We have more beams available for sale if you're interested **Q: I really like this light fixture - where can that be purchased?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: The show designers purchased all of the fixtures so I am not sure where it was from. I did find a similar one on Restoration Hardware. It is called Modern Filament pendant. Not sure if that is the exact one they used. **Q: Size** *(in Photo Questions)* Love this layout. What are dimensions of this bathroom? 10x9? A: Thanks Andrea, I can track down the paint and tile for you if you want. **Q: bathroom dimensions** *(in Photo Questions)* hi I think my bathroom is similar to this one in size and I am looking to do a remodel with a similar layout. can you be so kind and send me the rough dimensions of your bathroom so I can see if your layout will work in my bath? thank you! A: Hi The dimensions are 7'wide x 10 ' long. It was quite difficult to get the tub and shower in that 10' space **Q: POLL: Adding to a Historic Home — Make it Modern or Recreate the Past?** *(in Polls)* If adding on to a traditional home or structure, do you prefer a design that makes the new addition clearly stand out as a modern element, or would you rather it honor the home's roots and blend in to look like the original structure? Vote for your pick then tell us why in the comments below (photos encouraged)! A: By all means, update the interior with modern conveniences. You live "in" your house, not out in the road looking at it. Take into consideration the "feel" of the neighborhood when looking at a facelift. --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
