Sustainable Design Professionals in Shrewsbury, MA

“My wife and I have used Brad at Custom Builders many times since 2016 when we purchased our home from them. We purchased our home while already under construction and had our first of many positive experiences with them finishing the construction to our tastes and design. Since 2016 we have had them do multiple big projects. A year after moving in, we had Brad and his team back to finish our basement where we added a full bath, office/bedroom with a built-in desk and walk in closet along with a large family room space aka man town. May 2022 was our most recent project, where we had them back both expand our deck and add a garage under the deck. We couldn't be happier with the results. From start to finish, all of our experiences were nothing short of exceptional. First and foremost, Brad and his team demonstrated unparalleled professionalism and expertise throughout the entire process. They took the time to understand my vision for the project and provided valuable insights and suggestions to enhance it further. Their attention to detail and commitment to quality craftsmanship were evident from day one. Communication was another standout aspect of my experience with Custom Builders Inc. They kept me informed every step of the way, ensuring that I was always aware of the progress being made and any potential changes or challenges that arose. This level of transparency and openness instilled a sense of trust and confidence in their abilities. When it came to the actual work, the team exceeded my expectations. The team worked diligently and efficiently to bring my vision to life, and the end result was nothing short of stunning. The quality of their workmanship is truly top-notch, and it's clear that they take great pride in what they do. Overall, I highly recommend Brad and the team at Custom Builders Inc. If you're looking for a fair, reliable, skilled, and customer-focused team to handle your home improvement projects, look no further.”

“Great work ethic, meticulous to detail and enjoyable to work with. Together, Joseph and I designed a beautiful wall cabinet and then it was professionally installed by RemodelWerks's fantastic carpenters. We're getting RW back in to design another cabinet for the study.”

“Exponent is a highly professional company that we plan to use again. Ethan DeSota, the owner listens well, and follows up on every detail. He quotes open and honestly with transparency all along the way. He keeps to his timeline and the budget, there’s no wondering whether he’s coming back or if he will drop the project at any point. Ethan keeps his word and shows up every time. His work is impeccable and his team equally professional, highly skilled and conscientious! We’d recommend him to anyone who has a project large or small!”

“This is the company you want to do your project. We hired Brendan to do a complete kitchen remodeling, down to the studs. They were professional throughout, from the first visit to discuss plans to the punch list items. In fact, Brendan is probably the easiest contractor to work with that we have ever hired. He was quickly responsive to any issue that came up. He has great patience to answer questions and work with the client through the myriad of choices that have to be made for a project such as this, and he had terrific suggestions for both style and cost-saving. The finished project is fantastic, in large part due to Brendan's design suggestions. The workmanship and attention to detail was exacting, and he and his main carpenter Matt were always able to come up with clever solutions to the various construction problems that invariably develop in any project. They don't cut corners or take the easy way out, but rather have great pride in the quality of the job. The project was performed on schedule, with any delays being our own fault for being slow in making our materials choices. As for the financial piece, everything was laid out in understandable terms and there were no surprises, with Brendan even swallowing additional costs on his own a couple of times. In addition, they were extremely considerate of the premises and our dog, always keeping in mind that they were working in someone's home. Everything was cleaned every day, and they even did the little things such as vacuum out the cabinet drawers after installing the cabinet hardware. We have high expectations, and Brendan met them all. If you use them, you will be delighted.”

“The Archambault Construction team and all their subcontractors were of the highest caliber. They were meticullous in every detail and brought the job in right on time and under budget. They treated my house and my time with the utmost respect. This was a complete kitchen demo and rebuild and surprisingly it was an enjoyable experience, thanks to Archambault Construction.”

“I have worked with Harper Elm over the past 2+ years on multiple projects. They did a wonderful job restoring our barn and other major projects in our house. Our house was originally a large barn so they were faced with numerous challenges specific to it's structure and history. I would highly recommend Harper Elm, especially for projects related to antique or otherwise unique structures.”

“I reached out to Albert on recommendation of a friend. We were getting ready to sell the house and the bathroom was in dire need of being remodeled. His team worked efficiently and remodeled the bathroom all the way down to the studs. I almost wish I would have done it sooner! I will definitely be contacting them when we get into our new home.”

“For our project, my wife and I wanted to build a house that "fit in" on a street full of charming 19th century New England style homes. Eric Gilmore, president of Gilmore Building Company, a custom home builder in central MA, worked with us and his architect associates to develop a concept that combined our custom floor plan goals with traditional architecture using the Greek Revival style prevalent on the street to build a "new old home". To complete the look, Eric custom designed many of the exterior and interior trim and molding patterns himself. The exterior design turned out to be so authentic that at one point later in the construction phase, an acquaintance that didn't know we were doing this house project remarked to me as we drove past the construction site, "Aw, isn't it nice that someone is restoring that beautiful old house?" ... but it was this new house: goal exceeded! This was our first custom home, so we were looking for a low risk, low stress process. One option available from Gilmore Building Company that matched our needs was to start with a fixed cost design phase that delivers a firm final construction price, detailed drawings, and full part specifications before digging begins. Once all the design goals were realized and the plans were drawn up, construction went smoothly. Weekly on-site meetings helped review progress and answer the "this or that" questions that inevitably come up during the build of a custom home. We are now moved in and enjoying all the hard work that Eric and his team put in to the painstakingly designed, quality built, energy efficient home that has all the features we asked for -- and it fits right into the neighborhood.”

“We absolutely love the home Mike built for us! His genuine willingness to exceed our needs, even after we moved into our home was best in class--few builders will go above and beyond in the manner in which Mike did for us. Mike was 100% focused on our satisfaction and went out of his way to accommodate. In addition, the quality of work was second to none. We knew we found the right builder and the right home. We highly recommend Woodside Development and Mike for anyone interested in a positive, high quality home and building experience. Thanks Mike!”

“We hired Christian Carpenters to turn our 3 season porch into part of our home. I can honestly say that from the moment we met Aaron at the time of the original consult, until the job was completed, we could not have been happier. The professionalism, honesty, strong work ethic, knowledge, and attention to detail was impressive. The attentiveness from both Stacey and Aaron to all our MANY questions throughout the process was amazing. All of the people that came into our home were considerate, polite and respectful. The work itself is flawless. The outcome far exceeded our expectations. They did go the extra mile for us while staying in our budget. They truly went above and beyond what we anticipated. We really enjoyed working with them, and I would HIGHLY recommend them. We will be using them again for future projects.”
