"Company was great to work with and finished the job within 2 weeks. It was great to have Owens manage the whole project from start to finish including plumbing, electrical, and construction. The main contractor was friendly and they kept the site very clean each. The wall technology is great and I already had to put it to use by removing the panel by my water meter so the Town could replace it. The entire wall system snapped right back into place and still looks new after the water meter work. Great concept."

"The team did a great job. They replaced a concrete walkway in the front of my house with pavers, installed a terraced paver patio in the backyard, and regraded half my backyard. The guys worked constantly and past dark every day, and they finished faster than I expected. The quality of the work is top notch. The entire process from quoting to job completion was effortless for me. I would hire them again in a heart beat."

"Efficient, friendly, professional, dedicated and highly attentive to detail. I could not be more pleased with my new granite bar counter and would hire them for my next project. They really prioritize the customer care and that the job gets done right. Pleasure to work with!"

"Roque General Services did a great job installing a range hood and repairing our Portico. Fabios, both father and son, were so great and easy to work with. Their price was very competitive. They went over and above the contract scope and performed additional work needed. I would hire them again without any hesitation. Thanks."

"Recently I engaged Custom Creations Contracting to remodel a kitchen at my home. My experience with this company was extremely positive and satisfying. From demolition to final product I was included in the decision-making and all details of the work. Steve Cavallo and his sub-contractors were always professional and customer-oriented. Mr. Cavallo helped me to refine the ideas regarding what I wanted by suggesting details and presenting alternative options which made for a beautiful kitchen. I am satisfied with every detail and commend CCC for how attentive they were to the concerns of my tenants who were living at the site during the entire project. Everyone involved was treated with respect and consideration. The project moved along seamlessly and efficiently and was completed within the exact time frame Mr. Cavallo had promised. There was no time wasted. Every step followed smoothly and effortlessly. I recommend this company very sincerely and am very pleased that I chose them for my kitchen remodel. Additionally, all work was completed with a minimum of disruption. Clean-up was meticulous. Contract was clear and transparent from the start with no hidden costs."

"Block made this process very simple (or as simple as it can be), and we are really happy with the design assistance we got, as well as them walking us through the design phase, procurement, board package, etc. Would definitely use again!"

"Costs increased about 10% over estimate, work was well done and the final product was professional and well-built. Communication could have been better, the builder promised weekly meetings but that didn't happen. All in all, we were happy at the end of it all, and all questions were answered and all finishes to our satisfaction, which if you've ever worked with a contractor before, you know isn't a given. 5/5 would work with them again, the fireplace mantel and threshhold was particularly well done."

HomeAdvisor makes it easy to connect with pros near you. You can read reviews, get quotes and book appointments all in one place.
Depending on the type of project, you may find subtle differences in the hiring process. Here’s a look at task-specific advice.
You can use HomeAdvisor to help evaluate a contractor’s qualifications. We put pros through a screening process, and award badges to high-performing contractors. You can find these badges on a pro’s HomeAdvisor profile, and sometimes, his or her website.
Your research doesn’t stop here. Once you’ve found a few prospective companies, make an call to ask a few questions about work history, licensure and more:
In most cases, the responses you get to these three questions will give you a very good idea of the right pro for your project. If you have more than one front-runner, these additional questions can help you narrow it down.
Any good contractor will answer these questions, and most will appreciate dealing with a client that takes such an active interest in finding good service. On the other hand, if a contractor gives you a hard time with these questions, you probably want to find someone else.
