Dana LLC

Waltham, MA General Contractors

August 28, 2015

“Dana Pratt (owner) helped us navigate the challenges of a major restoration of our four bedroom colonial, and the associated insurance claim arising from a broken water pipe, which devastated our kitchen, family room, center hallway, and two finished basement rooms. In addition, he and his team have done excellent work on several additional projects including a completely revised master bathroom, a new basement bathroom, and a two-room addition on the side of our home. His team also restored old hardwood floors and repainted most of the unaffected rooms in our home. He is easy to work with, and has a great eye for design details and what improvements make sense in our house and neighborhood. He has closely adhered to the original budget and schedule estimates, and keeps us informed on these as the project progressed. He worked very well with our interior designer (Studio C Interiors), bouncing ideas around adjusting to any surprises found inside old walls. Dana goes above and beyond what is expected of a builder. During the height of the horrible winter of 2015 (ten feet of snow in the Boston area), he was working on our home and noticed new leaks from ice dams on the roof. Dana personally went up on our roof and cleared the extensive snow and ice away from the problem area, nipping a potential disaster in the bud. His extensive experience with insurance claims and restoration make him a unique asset when mayhem strikes your home. We recommend him highly!”

Steveworks LLC

Waltham, MA General Contractors

October 8, 2014

“After interviewing several contractors, we are so glad we hired Steve and his crew to completely rebuild and expand our 1950s kitchen in our 1920s fixer-upper. Steve was incredibly detail oriented, yet flexible and patient in working with and advising us as we designed most of the kitchen and small addition project ourselves. He did everything possible to be respectful of our budget, even as we ran into a few (to be expected in an older home) small surprises. His advice was invaluable, and responsiveness immediate. Moreover, he agreed to work with our plumber with whom we are friends and already felt very comfortable with working on our home. His other subcontractors, including work on tile, plastering, and electrical, were all as pleasant and reliable as Steve himself. Steve was omnipresent; always making sure the job got done right no matter what stage it was in. Steve always made sure to make any touch ups needed after the subcontractors finished their work. Steve and his crew were not only nice to have around, but created a safe and even fun atmosphere while we lived through this major renovation and necessary disruption in our home. With their diligent work, we went from a cramped, awkward, and outdated kitchen, to one we love and doubles as both functional and sorely needed social space that our modest home previously lacked. Steveworks turned our ideas into such a great kitchen that we promptly hired them to completely renovate our dated bathroom. Steve worked with us, our sometimes quirky house, and a very tight budget to give us a dramatically improved space. We highly recommend Steveworks to anyone who is considering hiring a contractor. NOTE: Photo with orange counter is from before work began. The other photo is from just before project completion.”

Thomas Buckborough & Associates

In each case, whether it was a large remodel or a small repair, he has been attentive, thorough, thoughtful, and a pleasure to work with. His work is beautiful. His commitment to his clients does not end with the completion of the project; he consistently is available for tweaks, repairs, and questions. We recommend him with enthusiasm and without reservation.”

Taylec LLC

Waltham, MA General Contractors

May 24, 2020

“Taylec has done two large remodeling projects on our house. The first project was a large 2 car garage with family room above it and a small entryway in the front of the house. The second project was a full remodel of our kitchen that also involved moving the location of our stairs down to the basement. Doing large remodeling projects can be very stressful. Luckily, Roman was a great communicator throughout the projects and always willing to answer our call whenever we had questions. He also provided guidance throughout the construction to make sure we got the best quality within our budget. I could not be happier with Taylec and would recommend them for any project you have in mind.”

His knowledge and crews are top notch and we have been very happy with his professionalism and responsiveness. He has excellent relationships with his workers and subs and has worked very well with the town building department. He has been able to help with every aspect of the project, guiding us when necessary. He has been very conscientious regarding our budget and has helped us find areas to save money. We really feel like Erik is part of our team and highly recommend him and his company.”

What is a general contractor?

Home remodeling contractors are a must for successful completion of a renovation.

Was it ready when the contractor promised it? Was the bid for building a home unusually high or low? Each of these things can be very telling: A late bid may reflect timing standards, and an off-the-mark bid could be code for a pricey premium or a deliberate underbid to score the remodeling job. You should call references, carefully read reviews and visit completed projects in Waltham, MA to see if they’re what you expect for your job. Once you do secure your local Waltham contractors, read the contract very carefully to be sure everyone is on the same page.
