Specialty Contractors Near Boston

“I purchased a condominium. While the unit provided space for an elevator shaft the elevator had not yet been installed. The contractor that built the building hired Nationwide Lifts to install the elevator.”

“I had a flooring project that I kept putting off. I finally called Jeremy and he responded promptly. Jeremy spent the time reviewing different flooring options, measuring, and scheduling the install. Loved the professionalism and quality of work.”

“In May Green Cocoon stepped into a complicated insulation job during our renovation and knocked it out of the ball park for us. Our builder had gotten a quote from his own subcontractor for the new construction and renovation in the newer section of our house, but when we discovered that the exterior walls in the old part of our Victorian were not insulated it became apparent that this was going to be require some special effort. We needed to find a company that regularly worked with both sprayfoam and mineral wool, which wasn't easy. We contacted Green Cocoon, which has extensive experience in historic and aging homes in our area, and they worked hard to ensure that both the new work and the old section of the house would be properly and safely insulated. They also found a way to work us into their busy schedule without slowing down our contractor. The job involved insulating new rooflines with spray foam, insulating older exterior crawlspaces with spray foam, insulating renovated and new rooms with blown-in dense pack mineral wool, and finally, insulating the original section of the house with blown-in mineral wool. This required careful removal of original clapboarding on the first floor and shingles on the second floor that were caked with old paint. Meticulous care was taken to ensure that the mineral wool (blown in from the outside) didn't damage the original horsehair plaster interior walls or enter the wrong spaces in a balloon framed house, that the exterior holes were immediately plugged and the clapboards and shingles carefully replaced. Never mind taking special care when crawling onto one of the slate roofs to reach a portion of the second floor. It took an entire week to get the job done, but they arrived on time and the site was carefully cleaned up every afternoon. I also must mention that this all took place during the height of the pandemic in MA, when everyone was on edge. We needed professional and flexible contractors, and we got it. We are so appreciative of Joe (who gave us an accurate and detailed estimate of the scope of the job even as it needed revising, and stayed in touch throughout the process), John (who carefully reviewed the job onsite with the installers before they began their work), and Anthony (who implemented the job and made invaluable suggestions as the work unfolded). Terrific team on all fronts. Thank you, Green Cocoon!”
