Featured Reviews for Essex, MA Home Builders

Cargill Construction Co LLC

Essex, MA Home Builders

July 1, 2016

“Cargill designed and built our new home three years ago. They did a great job and we could not be happier with the result and the on going attention they have shown us since completion. We would use them again for sure.”

PEGASUS Design-To-Build LLC

Essex, MA Home Builders

April 24, 2013

“I have used other contractors in the past and can say that I have never had such a positive experience. The job was enormous- almost a complete house gut and I lived in my home while the work was going on- seven months ! Not Fun! But...... I arrived at the office for an interview with only my own scribbled plans. Jane spent a great deal of time understanding how I lived and then totally resigned my plans to reflect what I actually wanted- with many new and terrific ideas. Jeff and I discussed every change I wanted and what it would cost on a regular basis. There was unbelievable communication. I always received a call back from someone within an hour , even on weekends. The crew is lovely and they spent a lot of time screening off my living areas and cleaning up. Once I even changed my mind about a wall and some electrical work just as they finished it - and they redid it all on the spot - no problem. They have a set crew and I got to know them all. Living with them - they became like family. If I requested a particular carpenter for a particular job- he was sent. If they got behind the schedule , they would work on weekends and evenings to catch up. Mike is great and supervises every small thing. I would really like to thank them all. I especially would like to thank Jesse for all the extra little things he did to make my "life in construction" more comfortable. Reading this , it sounds like they paid me - but I definitely paid them:-) I still call if I think something is "funky" and they are over here right a way to take a look. The completed house is more beautiful than what I imagined and everyone seems to have taken great pride in their work. I would never use anyone else.”

Concept Building

Essex, MA Home Builders

January 21, 2014

“Jeff of Concept Building built a home for one of my clients in Martha's Vineyard. I found him and his colleagues to be professional, responsive, and focused on the details. Jeff managed and executed this project flawlessly, as you can imagine working on an island has it's challenges but at each step his team exceeded expectations. The project was completed on time and on budget and the end result is truly spectacular.”

NS Builders

Essex, MA Home Builders

June 22, 2015

“Nick is a professor and an artist in the business. He has the skills of a master carpenter but the mind of an engineer allowing him to do the difficult jobs and manage the even more difficult jobs. Very impressed with his work - communication - responsibility and a true professional.”

Saltsman Brenzel, Inc.

Essex, MA Home Builders

August 24, 2012

“We hired Saltsman Brenzel to build a new house on the site of a demolished house. We had completed 2 construction projects in the past, with different companies, and our experience with SB was superior in every way. The design of the house is sensitive to the neighborhood and the site, while incorporating our requests. The design/build aspect was seamless, from permitting all the way through to finish work. The budget was kept track of with regular meetings & weekly spread sheets. I would highly recommend SB for a productive, low-stress, and enjoyable construction experience.”

Naplex Construction LLC

Essex, MA Home Builders

December 4, 2014

“We purchased a new home from Naplex Construction and wanted to change a few things before moving in. They were very accommodating and so easy to work with. Mary Beth was great about communicating with us and continued to be helpful after we moved in. I still reach out to her now and then for recommendations. The house is beautiful and most important it is quality work.”

River Village Carpenters, Inc

Essex, MA Home Builders

December 12, 2015

“River Village Carpenter's did a fantastic job building our new home. Owner Paul Leone was a pleasure to work with from the planning, budgeting, contracting and entire construction. He was honest and his team did beautiful work. We have had many compliments on the detailed moulding and window casings. We couldn't have been more pleased with the work and relationship we had with this business.”

Norman Builders

Essex, MA Home Builders

November 29, 2016

“: Ryan Norman and Norman Builders were outstanding from start to finish. We come in contact with numerous builders, remodelers, and building professionals on a daily basis and can say without hesitation, Ryan and Norman Builders are in the top 1%. They initially provided a quote that included busting through into the existing master bedroom closet and adding that space to the bathroom and then rebuilding a closet in the master bedroom. Ryan helped us realize that there still wouldn’t be enough space to do what we wanted to, so we asked for a scaled back quote, which we promptly received. Ryan patiently responded to every inquiry and was right on top of things in terms of response time. We asked about the possibility of remodeling a second bathroom at the same time and Ryan was honest, to his detriment, in his response. Every aspect of the project that was within Ryan’s control was handled superbly. The workers picked up after themselves, laid new plastic sheeting to protect the existing carpet daily when called for, and showed up and completed work as scheduled. We ran into an issue with a vendor we had chosen and asked Ryan to handle resolution for us. He did so with professionalism and effectiveness. Everything in Ryan’s control was completed on schedule and without cost overruns. We will definitely call Ryan when we are ready for our next project.”

Kane Development Corporation

Essex, MA Home Builders

January 18, 2016

“There are professionals and then there is David Kane of Kane Holdings Group. The job he did was outstanding, the attention to detail was incredible and the quality unmatched. I would absolutely stand by anything he develops as well as work on any of his projects.”
