What customers say
Customers praise James's professionalism and communication. One customer says the crew repaired a walkway rather than replacing it, replaced cracked or broken bricks, refilled the concrete/grout lines, then cleaned and sealed the area.

Very helpful group, I contacted them for an estimate over the weekend. I have very little experience in this region and got some great advice, almost immediate response. Didn't expect to hear back till the next week, but Rich got back to me within the hour and had a lot of helpful info about my situation. Very helpful.

I recently had my basement finished by James in Peabody, and I’m extremely happy with the results. The quality of his work was excellent, and he paid great attention to detail throughout the entire project.
James was professional, reliable, and easy to communicate with. He completed the work on time and made sure everything was done exactly the way we wanted.
I would highly recommend James to anyone looking for basement work or home renovation. Thank you for the great job!

James and his crew could not have done a better job. So glad that I had him repair this walkway as opposed to replacing. Easily a 10k+ job to remove and replace with new paver walkway, but repaired for much less. Cracked/broken bricks replaced, concrete/grout lines all ground out and refilled, cleaned and sealed. Also very careful of surrounding plants, lawn and cleaned up thoroughly. See before and after pics

Recently hired James to fix a foundation leak, redo the deck, and added a large patio with drainage system. His team did a wonderful job and it was efficient for the amount of work done. James was very easy to get a hold of and he made sure everything was up to our standards after it was finished. I would hire him again and recommend him to others.
