Contractor reviews in Peabody, Massachusetts

Strong Hands is the most professional, skilled, and knowledgeable contractor/builder I have ever had the pleasure of working with.

We've used Edgar and his team's services many times over the years. On top of the quality work his team does, he is reliable and responsive.

Strong Hands is by far the best contractor and builder I have ever utilized. The team brings skilled knowledge, innovative ideas, and professional approach to the building project.

We had a great experience working with Edgar and team. They were thorough, detailed oriented, very clean and organized, punctual, and completed project on time. Work completed included a full basement remodel and outdoor shower. I would definitely use them again in the future.

Strong Hands are very reliable construction team. They renovated our basement and turned a closed rear porch to a sunny family room for us. They are the best team we have ever worked with. Very professional and very stylish too. We would like to continue to work with them for any of our future home improvement projects.

Edgar and his strong hands team were professional, provided quality work, and communicated well throughout our basement project. Any questions we had were promptly addressed. Highly recommend Strong hands and Edgar for your project. Thank you Edgar!

I’ve used Edgar and the team at Strong Hands for multiple home projects such as finishing a basement and building a stone patio. His team is always on time, professional, and the quality of work is fantastic. I will continue to use Strong Hands and recommend them to others.

We decided to renovate our basement and our friends recommended Strong Hands Construction to us. the owner Edgar is very easy to work with. I have been using Chinese contractors a lot due to their good price but the largest problem for these Chinese contractors is they tend to work on a lot of projects at the same time and therefor cannot stick to the agreed upon schedule for my project. Not with Strong Hands Construction! The screw is very professional and they show up on time on days agreed upon and they are making progress exactly according to schedule. My basement project finished right on time! And the quality of the work is top notch! Another big bonus is that their are extremely competitive in terms of price they can offer. When I have home projects in the future, I would not look anywhere else! You cannot go wrong with Strong Hands!

We have worked with Edgar and Strong Hands on several projects and have been extremely satisfied with each. Edgar is highly knowledgeable and highly responsive. His eye for detail is appreciated from an aesthetic perspective in addition to his functional guidance. Edgar is always reachable and so very kind. And his team was diligent and respectful of our space. The work area was always left as clean as when they arrived. The compliments we received on the gorgeous built ins Edgar himself designed were plentiful! We have since moved and Edgar was one of our first phone calls to help us with our initial projects at our new home. We would highly recommend Edgar and Strong Hands!!

Best contractor I've ever had. They are amazingly attentive to detail. They stayed within budget and were great to work with on change requests. The crew is big enough to get jobs done efficiently. I look forward to having them to future work

Not sure how to add a second review here, as Google is prompting me to add this to my first review, but I hired Edgar and the Strong Hands team a few weeks ago to do some house projects that I've been wanting to cross off my list. This was the second time I've used Strong Hands (the first review is below, when they to did a full bathroom reno and paint my kitchen). I was incredibly happy with the work they did the first time around, so I went back to the well, and they did not disappoint this time either. Edgar's team shows up every day, right on time, and works very hard to get projects done in a timely fashion. This time around they re-did my basement (floor, painted the walls, put in a new sump pump), installed several new windows, completed some woodwork above my side entrance, cleared out a bunch of brush and debris in my yard, and some other small projects. I can't recommend these guys highly enough and will be calling them again the next time I have projects pop up.

I hired Edgar and the Strong Hands team to do a full renovation of my first floor bathroom (as well as a few other small projects) and they knocked it out of the park! They showed up every day on time, were reasonably priced, and the quality of their work was top tier. Edgar was accommodating and highly responsive when I had questions or needed guidance about designing my bathroom and materials to use. I was so impressed, I rehired them immediately to do some work on my kitchen, which also came out great. Will definitely be using Strong Hands again in the near future and highly recommend them!

Edgar and his team have done great work at our home. We have been in our house for 4+ years and they have done a full basement remodel. Bathroom remodel, patio, deck and custom casework. I highly recommended them.

We used Edger’s team to finish our basement in later 2022. Professional and high quality work done, job site is organized and cleaned up after each workday. Edger is very responsive to our quests and some last-minute changes. He also gave us some really good design ideas and suggestions. We are very satisfied with the result.

I have been working a few times with Stronghand. They help me with rebuilding and expanding my back deck, and I also commend them to my friends to finish their basement with wet bar and a full bathroom. And a couple full house renovation with new kitchen and bathrooms. They are super professional, works well with the city, all work has permits. They also has great design and material & style! I love these guys. If you need anything done in the house, anything for a small renovation, to large addition. These guys will be your best choices! Love their work!

In 2012, Edgar and I embarked on our first full-scale renovation together.

Over the course of the 10+ years, we completed seven full bathrooms, two new kitchens, and installed two brand new HVAC systems, along with electrical and plumbing work—right down to the kitchen sinks.

Edgar is a top-tier contractor with a hardworking and reliable team and subcontractors!

We hired Strong Hands Construction Pro, Inc for a full kitchen remodel and a half bath remodel, as well as removal of two windows, replacement of the front door and back French doors, and construction of a mudroom. I loved the crew. They were hardworking, professional, and very accommodating throughout the entire project. The finished kitchen turned out even better than I had envisioned, and the quality of work was excellent. I would definitely hire Strong Hands Construction Pro again for any future projects at my house and highly recommend them. Thank you team for everything!

Edgar and his crew could not have been nicer. Also, very respectful of my ideas, my space, noise and cleanliness issues. Quality of work is outstanding. Very happy with end result.

We hired Strong Hands for a full basement renovation including a French drain and sump pump. My family has used Edgar for different projects for many years because of the quality of work and professionalism. We are so happy with how the basement came out. The work is top quality and Edgar is great to work with!

I just finished a kitchen renovation project with Edgar of Strong Hands Construction Pro Inc. I am delighted with the results (see photos). Edgar is awesome to work with. He is very attentive to every detail and will not accept any shortcuts. Everything is done just right. In addition to being completely satisfied with the results, I was also very happy with the way the project was conducted. Progress was rapid and there was excellent communication every step of the way. Edgar also had lots of creative ideas for improving my original plan. First class work by a first rate guy!

A few months later: The kitchen came out so well that I hired Edgar and his team for a second project upgrading two bedrooms. The work consisted of new hardwood flooring, new lighting, replacement windows and painting. Once again, working with Edgar was a pleasure and the work was exceptional. I am delighted with the results of both projects!

Strong Hands Construction did an excellent job building my deck. They offered a very reasonable price and delivered outstanding quality. The foundation is extremely strong, and the whole structure feels solid and well built. Throughout the project, they were professional, hardworking, and accountable. I really appreciated that they worked efficiently without bothering me unnecessarily, but always took the time to talk with me on key decisions and ask for feedback when it mattered. The entire process was smooth, and the end result exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend Strong Hands Construction to anyone looking for reliable, high-quality work.
