Constraction reviews in Shirley, Massachusetts

Great service!

Milestone Excavating did an excellent job hooking up our home to Acton town sewer in late August, a process taking six hard-working days. They brought in two moderate-size excavators and two bobcats and dug a 250 ft. trench through a wooded area from the street to our house in order to install sewer pipe, without taking down any large trees or causing any lasting damage to our landscaping. Their work was neat and professional, and the entire crew was friendly and helpful. To repair the affected strip of lawn, they put down high-quality loam and seeded the area. On the final day they went out of their way to please the homeowners in relocating temporarily moved shrubs, tastefully arranging excavated boulders and hauling off any unwanted rocks and debris. Their price was comprehensive and reasonable. We give Mark, Mark and company an A+.

Mark and his son (also Mark) are both great guys - honest, friendly, and competent. They and their crew were always on time and their coordination with material deliveries and sub/contractors was excellent. The 6 day job was not easy, but was completed on time, within budget and of high quality. You can’t go wrong choosing Milestone for your job.

We had spent more than two years searching for the right siding material and the right company to install it. When I spoke to Adam for our quote I was confident that we found the right company and after some minor negotiations we settled on a fair price. Nick and Lisa handled our customer experience and coordinated the crew for us. Diaz and the team did a fantastic job on the removal of our old siding, installation of shearing as well as the new HardiePlank. We chose to use an unfinished/primed material to paint to our preferred color by another company. We had a few minor issues with the initial fit & finish of the install but the the crew kept coming back to fix minor issues until we were perfectly happy. This is a MAJOR investment into your home and they understand the need to be completely happy at the end. The team at Solid State can be trusted at their word when they assure you total happiness. We have no regrets and love that they turned our 60 year old home into what appears to be new construction. Well done!

Hired this company to come and replace our deck after being damaged during a thunderstorm. The whole process with them was amazing! Adam listened to what we wanted done and kept open communication with me the whole time! Crew is professional and very polite!! Any question/concern I had was answered immediately with no BS. I would recommend them again and use them in the future!

I recently had 17 double hung windows and two large casement sliders replaced by Solid State. I am thoroughly satisfied with the quality and choice of the (US made) windows from Provia, the patient and low-pressure sales approach, the follow-on communication and project management, the professionalism, efficiency and workmanship of installation crew and subsequent follow-up from management. Their price was very competitive with the 3 other companies that bid the job; I felt I got remarkable value at the price point.

Our project included replacement of siding, trim, roof and windows. Work was started and completed during covid. Though time estimates were a little off, the work was completed within the contracted time (pretty good under the circumstances). Work quality was very good for all subs. Supervisors and main office were easily accessible and responsive. Costs were transparent, reasonable and within initial estimates. We had installed James Hardy products. The crews had very good knowledge and experience with the product. I'm very pleased with the outcome and confident in the long-term quality of their work. I highly recommend considering Solid State Construction for reno work.

We contracted Solid State Construction to replace the siding, trim and front door of our home. As it is a 19th Century Victorian in a historic district, the house demanded a specialized approach. The team at Solid State exceeded our expectations amidst historic district approvals, weather and production delays. The team deftly guided us to project completion while keeping us informed in a timely manner throughout the process. We are thrilled with the final result!

This company is outstanding for both customer service and the installation of our new siding. You would be crazy to go anywhere else.

We discovered we had a leak in our roof in late November. After doing due-diligence we decided to go with Solid State Construction.
From the first time we met with the sales rep (Heidi) we felt comfortable with our choice. Heidi was very knowledgeable and answered all the questions we had. (and some we had not asked)
We settled on materials and such, and the crew showed up when expected. Due to the extreme weather we had, the roof took a day longer than expected, but that crew was up on the roof working on a day it was 9 degrees out. The crew cleaned up after themselves and were so quiet, we didn't realize they were gone. Rob, the site manager kept in constant contact and answered any questions we had. Over all, a great experience and a nice new roof! We will use them again should we ever have another construction project.

I recently contracted with Solid State to do some repair work on a rotting deck and the whole project from start to finish was excellent. I reached out through their website and within a few hours had received a phone call and email scheduling an appointment to scope out the project. Jeff the owner was honest and very fair in his estimate of the project and all the work was completed on schedule. Joe managed the project and his team could not have done a better job ensuring the work was done correctly while communicating any unforeseen changes/ issues before taking action.

The end product looks amazing and everyone I worked with was professional, honest, and committed to the project. I plan to use Solid State for future projects and would recommend them if you need any exterior work done.

Kerri made sure that the siding project exactly met our unique needs, and that the job specs were confirmed before construction started.
Fabiano and the entire team were fantastic throughout the construction and they treated our property with great care and were meticulous in daily and final cleanup.
Brandon kept us well informed, and ensured that all of the work was the highest quality and the results exceeded our expectations.
I would use Solid State Construction again in a heartbeat.

The salesman was very upfront with us as we selected different parts of our project. Weighing the investment versus our plans for the future and helping us understand where extra money would be well spent. He was able to run several scenarios and price out multiple options that included items we didn't even think of that were common in our neighborhood. Once signed (a very straightforward process), we communicated over email and text message (our preference) for when the project would start, including a flexible start time around my work schedule. The project manager was always available to meet and discuss our questions about the project and explain options behind dealing with issues they came across. The siding and windows part of our project was exceptional. In general, they installed everything perfectly, including some tricky spots on our house. They managed to fix some areas our house as they discovered damage for very little additional cost and even provided suggestions on some fixes we should make while they weren't around. Every evening, they cleaned up after themselves, picking up nails and debris around the areas they worked. Our biggest complaint about the project was the electrician and the gutter company. The electrician sent to our house was an inexperienced, less than friendly guy who randomly showed up one day. After a second trip, he completed the project and we were satisfied. The gutter company showed up without any notice, which left me unhappy. Luckily, work was flexible and I could be there to discuss how the previous gutters were insufficient and required reworking. Once I explained the situation, the gutter company adapted and installed everything flawlessly (after a few heavy rainstorms to test them).After 4 weeks of work, we were very pleased with the project and the professionalism of Solid State Construction.

We LOVE solid state construction. From every step of the way the communication was excellent. We initially found solid state online and fell in love with a few photos of past work they had done. We were apprehensive / fearful because we had multiple poor experiences with others in the past. The owner Jeff brooks ( project manager ) went above and beyond to make sure we were confident with the process every step of the way. He was extremely responsive and attentive to our project. He genuinely wanted to help make our dreams a reality. The crew that worked on our project was professional, enthusiastic, clean, and friendly. They showed up every day with a smile and treated us and our home with respect. The quality of work was excellent and they genuinely wanted us happy with their work at the end of each day. I chose solid state after reviewing their past work, and having an online consultation with the owner. They make
It easy and remove the stress from the process. We were able to get prices, see designs , and read a full thorough explanation of what was included in our renovation. Any changes we wanted to make were quickly modified with updated pricing without a hassle. Solid state did our siding , all new windows , and even returned to do our roof. We couldn’t be happier with the outcome and we are SO happy we chose solid state. :)

I have a 368-year-old house that desperately needed to be resided. I wasn't sure whether I wanted to go with clapboard again or if I wanted to use Hardie plank. I contacted Solid State construction and spoke with one of their sales reps. It appeared that Hardy plank was my best option. I could not have been happier with this company from start to finish. They kept me informed, did an amazing job on my crooked old house, their employees were professional, exceedingly friendly, and I couldn't have asked for a better company. My house now looks gorgeous, and I know that it will definitely outlast the warranty. I would not hesitate to recommend Solid State Construction for any remodeling project. They are the best.

A total win, from initial consultation through project completion. Solid State works very hard to make the home renovation experience as stress-free and professional as the end-results. They're honest, they show up when they say, and they do really great work.

We had our home re-sided with HardieBoard, with new windows and new front and side doors, as well. Solid State worked with suppliers to make sure everything went as smoothly as possible. Went over a lot of up-front options to make sure we were happy with the new look of our home.

Chris (our project manager) and Jeff (owner) took a lot of time to make sure we were satisfied with everything. Let's face it: these types of projects can be expensive and fill you with anxiety. Take the best route and go with these guys. You'll be happy you did.

Solid State replaced my siding and repaired my front porch. The results were amazing. I love the detail of the framing of all the windows and doors. Brandon King managed the crew that worked on my project. They were there early every day and the stripping and major replacement was done quickly. Once they were down to the final details they worked cautiously so the final pieces were perfect. I had this done at the time of year when the weather is unpredictable. We had some snow, a couple of very windy days, and lots of rain. Brandon always kept me informed when his crew would be out and when it would not be safe for them to be there. They worked weekends and late into the day to keep the project on track. My front porch was a mess from work a handyman did for the prior owner. Though not part of the original contract the office worked with me to get this done at the same time. I went back and forth and had some small changes once the porch was opened up and more issues were identified. The company worked with me and was very accommodating throughout the whole process. I can’t say enough about how much better it looks. More importantly, it feels safe and I know It is built right. The house is nearly 100 years old so some things were off aesthetically. They did a very nice job masking the imperfections. The whole time Brandon worked with me and made suggestions and was very mindful that the finished porch would blend with the rest of the house. There was also an inspector who showed up intermittently to check on the progress. All the people I worked with from the salesman to the front office were professional and very customer service oriented. The electrician and the gutter people were also very easy to work with. Several of my neighbors came over during the process more than once to say it looked fantastic. My family and friends cannot believe the transformation. If it were not for the older details and the few windows I still have to replace you would think it was a new build. I met with 4 companies before I settled on Solid State and the James Hardie product. It did quote in the higher price range compared to some of other choices but the work is guaranteed for 30 years and the materials used are superior to the other siding I looked at. And I never paid any more than what I was quoted. I worked with the salesman and we discussed some small details I could add which did not raise the price significantly and gave the house a whole new look. I ended up going with the cedar style plank boards and added some shingle details. It is so much nicer than just being covered in a single design. They even helped me hang my mailbox and replaced an older, crumbling light fixture. Lisa Wyn from the office came out to thank me and was able to give me some photos of the house before the job had started. I wished I had taken more once I saw the transformation. Since they take so many for the job initially she was able to help me get what I needed. It was worth every penny and I am so happy with the results. I was so stressed about getting taken advantage of on such a large project since I know so little about what goes into it but I have no regrets choosing Solid State ]. There is so much contact and discussion throughout the whole project I always understood what was happening and why. Of course, price is important but the little details and customer service mean a lot to me too. I love seeing my house when I turn the corner. I recommend them highly and definitely would use them again on future projects.

It's really hard to say enough good things about Solid State. They are certainly not a low cost option, but when you really get into these types of jobs, the experience, installation approach, quality, and attention to detail is what matters the most. The project manager, Vinnie, assigned to our job was incredible and gave us confidence and transparency throughout the entire process. The QA lead they assigned (former Hardie employee) walked through the house with us and made sure any small items were taken care of to our satisfaction - and shared many valuable tips for maintenance going forward. It goes without saying, the finished product looks incredible.

We hired Solid State to do our siding project - and we're so glad we did! They installed James Hardie siding and trim on the whole house and installed gutters. Throughout the 2 month project, our PM, Chris was very responsive and helpful, we felt confident that he had a firm understanding of the project and that he would do whatever he could to make sure we were happy with the end product. The foreman, Johnny and his crew were wonderful. Their attention to detail was so appreciated and they were pleasant to have around. We've hired contractors in the past and have been disappointed by the lack of communication and attention to detail. Solid State is not the cheapest installer out there for Hardie siding, but their value certainly shines through in their workmanship and they way they operate. Would hire again.

Solid state was absolutely wonderful to work with. I used them to install new Hardie plank siding on a three family in Cambridge - it came out beautifully. From start to finish they were professional and worked closely with me to line up everything I needed to do before they started (asbestos removal, and insulation). They also coordinated with my other contractors to make sure everything ran smoothly! Unlike most contractors they started and finished when they said they would and did a great job cleaning up! I would highly recommend them.

Solid State did an amazing job with our roof replacement. We contracted with Solid state in Jan 2020 to do our roof. Then the Coronavirus hit! We decided to delay the job until Massachusetts opened up to all construction. Nick, our project manager, kept in touch with us throughout and was easy to contact when we had questions. This week (June 15) the job was completed. The crew (at least 8 men) was amazing. In one day, they stripped the old asphalt shingles from the house and garage and replaced them with the new Ultra product line. The crew was courteous, hard-working and efficient. A few of the crew came back on the second day to complete installation of the skirt boards by the dormers. The dumpster was retrieved on the third day after completion of the job and cleanup. The crew completed all the work outlined on the contract and cleaned up very well. Nick was very helpful throughout. I would highly recommend Solid State. They were more expensive than some of the other contractors we contacted but we feel the cost was well worth the end product and experience.
