"Valerio is a true professional. He responded to our inquiries timely and completely. He was patient and thorough when guiding us through the approval process for our home addition. His advice was given readily and was so helpful in bringing our project to life. We believe that the value he brought to our project, and at such a reasonable price was crucial to getting ZBA approvals. He met every expectation that we had and we would highly recommend him."

"An easy 5 star rating! As clients, we are VERY particular, and know just enough to be dangerous with certain handyman projects. Therefore, electing to use contractors for anything is always a difficult decision for us. Given this background info, you can rest assured with K & X Services as we can confidently recommend Kristian and the team for any of your home needs. There is tremendous care and thought that goes into the analysis and estimation of each project, and Kristian was willing to work with us to take out the pieces we wanted to do ourselves. The team is respectful of your living space - we have never seen a crew so highly prioritize having a clean work area - and they work incredibly hard, including over weekends when needed. If we ever had project concerns, Kristian was prompt to respond and always willing to come out for an in-person discussion when needed. We recognize this level of service is time consuming and, in our experience, quite rare in the industry."

"We were not the easiest customers as far as changing our minds on different things, and our installer, Balint, never complained, and was always willing to go the extra mile to make sure the job was done to our satisfaction."

"I have never seen craftsman as meticulous and tidy as the crew who did our cabinet refacing. And, they completed a job scheduled for a week in 3 and a half days. I am stunned every time I walk into my kitchen now. It looks like something out of a magazine. It is light and bright and looks much larger now that I went with white cabinets."

"I highly recommend DDR. There are so many contractors out there and it is difficult to know what youâ ll get when you hire someone, from the quality of the work to the level of communication. This team did a great job from start to finish, and delivered a beautiful new space for my family. We selected DDR after getting multiple bids to update our walk-out basement into a more livable space. Key in this selection -- the price was competitive, and the team seemed attentive to the project needs as outlined. I had a tight budget and relatively aggressive timeline for this project. Admittedly the timeline was impacted by a few things that were out of DDRâ s control, including the Town building inspectorâ s schedule and a delivery delay (a new window arrived damaged and had to be reordered.) Nevertheless, the team stayed on budget and delivered a wonderful new basement. What a great project team -- led by Alex, the team (including John + Angel) truly transformed a dark dingy space into a bright fresh room. Alex was very thoughtful in suggesting options that would improve things and was exceptionally attentive to detail. He was super responsive to any texts or questions. In particular, I appreciated his high level of â perfectionismâ in how the finished product turned out. For phase 2, we need some custom cabinetry built for the space and I look forward to having the DDR team return to work on this next phase."

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.
