Home Repair Services, LLC
Builders in Essex County, MA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars21 January 2022
“Kurt, Kris and the rest of the Home Repair Services team are the best. Being first time homeowners, it was important that we found a contractor we can trust to guide us through the process start to finish. Kurt and his team could not have been more accommodating to our requests and questions. Not only did they deliver our dream home renovations, which includes a finished basement, new basement full bath, and master suite with walk-in closet, they stayed within a reasonable budget and timeframe. We highly recommend Home Repair Services and will definitely use them for our next home project!”
Walczak Design And Build
Builders in Essex County, MA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars25 September 2017
“Working with Derek, Lisa and their team on our new kitchen was an absolute pleasure. They were all creative, professional, courteous, super communicative and organized (and ensure that all their subcontractors were as well). Lisa and Derek both took a very collaborative approach to working with us - making it as low-stress as possible. They gave us great design options to choose from, presented us with ideas for materials that would never have occurred to us (but which look fantastic) and they were very flexible in terms of ensuring that they stayed under our budget constraints. The project finished on time, under budget and it looks AMAZING. We would recommend them to anyone for any project big or small, they already have our next one lined up. Our new kitchen is the heart of our home and has been life changing.”
Trinity Refinishing & Remodeling
Builders in Essex County, MA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars23 September 2021
“We are extremely delighted to provide a review on our experience working with Trinity Refinishing and Remodeling company for enhancing our existing deck. It was a great pleasure to work with Yuri and his crew throughout the entire process. Right from the start when we were reaching out to several contractors about our deck project, Yuri stopped by multiple times upon our request to patiently answer all our questions and provide good insights and design options on the concerns we had on the expansion of the deck. Once the project was awarded to him, Yuri immediately filed a permit with the town and was diligently answering all the questions that town had related to the work. Upon approval of the permit from the town (which took almost a month), Yuri immediately started the work the very next day with his experienced crew. The crew were so dedicated and punctual that the work got completed within 7 days when it was supposed to take more than 2 weeks. Yuri's project planning was impeccable, as there was not even a single hour during the day when his crew was idle due to lack of material or direction. Their dedication and attention to detail is really praiseworthy. Yuri has all the required professionals (plumber, electrician, designer, engineers etc) at his disposal that he can have them come over as needed when unforeseen hurdles creep up. They did all they could to keep the customer happy even if it required extra work that they hadn't signed up for in the beginning. Yuri is very considerate to not charge anything extra when unexpected issues come up in the project execution and he had to leverage other professionals to resolve the issues and move forward. I haven't come across any contractor till now who doesn't charge to resolve the issues that are not directly related to them. Me and my wife are really happy to find a contractor like Yuri to work with. We were lucky to find the right person/company to approach for all our future house projects. We really loved the overall experience and quality of work that was delivered by Yuri and his crew. Way to go Trinity Refinishing and Remodeling. Keep up the excellent work!”

“D and H Construction has don many jobs in our home. The most recent was a complete kitchen renovation . Rob and Nick did an outstanding job.Every detail is perfect. They both were so considerate of us because we were without a kitchen for a few months. D and H did the construction and Design 1 did the plan and we got all materials through Design1. I highly recommend both companies. We love our new kitchen!”
Fresh Start Contracting Company
Builders in Essex County, MA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars29 January 2015
“Fresh Start was excellent to work with from start to finish. They ordered a gorgeous reclaimed Heart Pine floor in our #1 Quartersawn grade for a high-end renovation job in Harvard Square. The job was well-organized and the schedule was budgeted appropriately to allow for flooring acclimation and installation times. Jobsite was neat and orderly and delivery was organized/executed well, despite the extremely narrow side street and tight driveways of the neighborhood. From start to finish, Fresh Start was easy to work with. They knew how to plan for and work with a high-end finish product and treated it and us with respect. Our experience working with them to patch historic white pine and Heart Pine floors in the area has been similar. We recommend their work to clients in the Boston area.”
Steeplechase Builders Inc
Builders in Essex County, MA
Average rating: 5 out of 5 stars18 February 2013
“It with great pleasure to recommend Eric Lee for his initiative, creativity and conscientious diligence as Project Supervisor for Steeplechase Builders. We are in the midst of a major home renovation which has been overrun with unexpected challenges---none of which have been a match for Eric's vision, creativity and master craftsmanship. In fact, the standard of excellence, integrity and flawless co-ordination of the Steeplechase team is unparalleled in our extensive experience with the many major home remodeling projects that we have done over the the past 20 years. To top it all a detailed comprehensive contract has kept the project surprisingly on budget. In addition, we are extremely impressed with Steeplechase Builders' highly skilled team of meticulous subcontrators for their adherence to the contract's promised seamlessly co-ordinated schedule, date of completion and fair pricing which is very rare in the building industry.”

Builder FAQs
There are several reasons why you should hire a local builder in Essex County:
  1. Local builders will be familiar with your local authorities building regulations, being able to advise on any relevant permits you need before work can begin.
  2. Builders near you will be aware of the climate of your area, and can recommend materials and construction methods suitable for your area.
  3. Building firms nearby will provide quicker responses and quotes compared to contractors outside of your local area, as they are nearby, they will often drop in to talk to you about your project and view the property.

For home builders, you will usually receive a quote for a building project instead of daily rates or hourly fees. The cost depends on various factors such as the type of job, builders experience and length of the project.

Expect to pay less for a small maintenance job such as brickwork repair or an extension of an existing wall than a new build project such as a kitchen or bathroom renovation and home extensions. After you’ve found a local builder for your project, speaking with them in detail about your project will help them give you an accurate estimate for the work required.
If you hire a home builder for a lengthy project, such as an extension, your builder may charge a daily rate. You can expect to pay around £350 per day for this. If your builder charges this way, ask for an estimation of how long this will take so you know roughly how much the total cost will be.

A professional contractor will have worked on projects like yours previously and they will know exactly what to do.

Compile a shortlist of at least three builders in Essex County that can handle the full scope of works, either by themselves or through sub-contracting. It is often a good idea to play devils advocate and ask what the builder will not be responsible for. Be wary of unusually cheap quotes. Ask for references and stories about how the builder has met different challenges along the way. If you can, you could try to see previous projects and talk to previous clients, or if not, read reviews, recommendations and ratings, and look at detailed photos of projects.
