**★★★★★ — Dianne Monahan, Nov. 2014**

> I have an old house built in the 1700's  and Ethan's work involved shoring up the basement, remodeling the main level as well as ceiling work. This involved putting in a kitchen and bath and hardwood flooring. His knowledge, experience, attitude, ability to meet deadlines and budgets were exceptional so much so that it was rented immediately with the tenant offering 6 months rent in advance in order to secure it. He kept me apprised by emailing me photos as it was a long distance project. I have never even met Ethan face to face which speaks to his competence, honesty and trustworthiness. I would be happy to provide a reference.

**★★★★★ — andreaavery, Dec. 2012**

> I am a kitchen designer and space planner and have worked with Ethan Dow for over 8 years. My experience with Ethan is that he is a true professional that continuously provides top quality work.  Ethan always takes the time to listen to our clients. With all projects, Ethan is consistently able to think through the tasks at hand and provides the necessary details, which always satisfies the clients needs. I highly recommend him for any project

**★★★★★ — marbleheadrenovation, Nov. 2012**

> We have used Dow Construction for multple projects in the last several years.
> Our latest project included a kitchen renovation and mud room addition 6/2012. We found them to be attentive and professional. The quality of their work was executed at a very high level as attention to detail is always a focus of Dow. We found Dow Construction to be reliable, on time and budget and always communicated with us throughout the project. We found them to be very responsive to our project needs and they did an amazing job.
> I would highly recommend Dow Construction for your project !!

**★★★★★ — Michael McCloskey Design Group, Nov. 2012**

> I have been working with Ethan for over 10 years. We have completed more than a dozen residential projects together and are currently working on another one.
>
> I recommend Ethan to my clients not only because of his skill as a craftsman and dedication to the job but because of his crew as well. No matter how difficult the task may be, Ethan gets it done without any concern from me or my client.
>
> If I were building a custom home or renovating and existing home I'd hire Ethan in a second, in fact I have, on several occasions. I have enjoyed working with him and his crew over the years and look forward to many more opportunities to work together in the future.
