Constraction reviews in Shirley, Massachusetts

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.

Solid State Construction did a great job residing our nearly 60 year old house, I would highly recommend them. They were easy to work with from the first meeting with Andy through the final sign off with Chris. They replaced our siding, added new trim, new soffits, and a new door. Alex, John, and Zach were at our house every day the weather allowed and worked professionally, efficiently, and pleasantly. In addition to their hard work they cleaned up after themselves daily and really thoroughly at the completion of the job.

We are truly happy with the results!

Been working with Solid State for several weeks now on our home project in West Newton replacing our existing 6" thick exterior of cedar shakes and aluminum siding and most of our old and leaky windows. Chris the project manager is terrific to work with... Extremely knowledgeable, very responsive and great listener. Process is enjoyably collaborative. Crew is good natured on on point. Love the Hardie Board siding and trim and Marvin windows. All the peripheral materials are high quality, as well. Our house is truly undergoing a transformation. Some in process photos attached...

We had a great experience working with Solid State Construction and are quite happy with the finished product. We had vinyl siding and the original lead painted clapboard removed from our 1950s house and replaced with James Hardie siding. We also had 10 windows replaced.

From the start, I was impressed with Solid State. I really enjoyed working with Kerri on the initial designs and decisions, and then once work started, Chris and his crew were always very responsive and easy to communicate with.

We got multiple estimates for this job and while Solid State was the most expensive, I also felt the most confidence in them and I was not disappointed.

Issues will always pop up with this kind of work. But any issue we had was resolved promptly and professionally and without any drama. I would definitely recommend Solid State to anyone looking for this type of work. When the time comes for us to replace our roof, they will be the first people I call.

Lately, our roof had been showing stain and moss all over the surface. In addition, after windy rainstorms, we were finding water stains on our interior walls and ceilings as well as various shingle pieces throughout our yard. So, along with my husband, David, I began to do research on companies that replace roofs on residential houses. As part of this process, we talked to our friend Tina Delatina Rosa who is the Quality Assurance, Marketing and Events Coordinator for Solid State Construction. This led to Tina and Rob Blanchflower, a Project Consultant for Solid State, visiting our home on January 17 to assess our needs. With absolutely no pressure but lots and lots of professionalism and competence, Tina and Rob studied our roofing structure both inside and outside, including a tough to get into and out (for former NFL tight end Rob) assessment of our attic space. In a relaxed presentation around the dining room table, Rob told us who Solid State Construction and their product supplier, GAF, are. Everything was clearly explained; from old roof removal to installation of new underlayment and ventilation systems and finally of the GAF shingle product. GAF guarantees this product for 50 years if it is installed complying with GAF’s strict standards and, of course, Solid State Construction is a certified GAF installer. The price was actually higher than some of the other options we looked at, but the comprehensiveness of Rob’s presentation and the absolute pride he exuded while describing the merits of Solid State and GAF convinced David and me that this is the way to go.

On Saturday, March 21, Tina along with Solid State Construction Assistant Project Manager, Nick Keegan, showed up early in the morning with eight workers. Watching these men during the day I realized just how well trained and experienced a crew Nick was overseeing. Of immediate note to me was that right from the beginning at least one worker was assigned to clean up. No having a giant heap of a mess to clean up at the end of the day when everyone is tired and wants to go home. Along the way and after removing the old roof, previously unseen problems appeared. This required replacement of rotted structural boards and cross members which Nick had his men do without looking to nickel and dime us in the process. A good-sized portion of our roof covers a family room that we added to the house years ago. It was covered with regular shingles, but Nick advised me that a far superior covering because of the pitch of the roof would be rubber. So, right there while actually carrying out the work activity, a significant change in scope was made with no increase in cost or time to complete the project. At the end of the day, with only a few minor items that were taken care of the next morning, the project was done and everything was cleaned up. The quality of the final product fully reflects the expertise and professional workmanship of Nick Keegan and his extremely hard-working project team. Two of our neighbors spent years in the construction trades and they came over to tell David this is complete quality and professional job. One, usually skeptical, said, “Dave, when they told you to put rubber rather than regular shingles over the family room, that’s when I knew these guys knew what they were doing.” We couldn’t say it better. We are totally pleased and satisfied with our roof replacement provided by Solid State Construction and its product supplier GAF. We very strongly recommend them. Oh, of course, we had some questions after everybody left. No problem, David just called Nick Keegan who responded right away.

Outstanding service starting with the sales manager, Adam, and with their administration run by Erika. The Contract supervisor Chris was outstanding too!
Our house is much improved, is visually stunning and significant value has been added.
Recommended, without reservation

NEW ROOF. I chose Solid State Construction for my re-roof project because of their design efforts to solve an attic ventilation problem. Original construction had double the ridge venting needed for proper air flow which had caused problems over the past 20+ years. They weren’t just working on the exterior of the roof, but considered the attic and the roofing as a system. Once the design was settled it was just a matter of completing the work as specified.

The team was fast, efficient, safe, and skilled. I observed all aspects of the work and I’m very pleased with the result. The communication throughout the process, the quality of materials and workmanship, the end of day appearance of the yard and roof, all lead to a happy homeowner.

SSC replaced the siding on my house this summer. From start to finish they were prompt, professional, and adaptable. They understood my needs and guided me to the best solution. They also used technology creatively to develop a no-contact estimate, contract review / signing and payment arrangements. The siding project is now wrapped up and they have done an AWESOME job. Chris, the project manager, was great to work with and the guys were very pleasant, skilled and professional. I'm super pleased and am planning more work with SSC in the near future.

We are very happy with our vinyl siding and the work Solid State Construction competed. The foreman and project manager were great to work with. They made sure to be transparent and walk us through the process until completion. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to side their house.

we hired SSC to replace the siding and exterior trim on our house in summer/fall 2021.

they were by far the best contractors I've worked with, and I've worked with a lot of them on this house. they were super communicative, very clear about what was or was not included in any line item of the contract, responsive to questions or requests we had during the project, and didn't give us our final invoice until we were 100% happy (two different people came out to check on the work and to ask us if we were completely satisfied). the main crew was fast (our estimate was 4-6 weeks; they were done in two and a half), clean (really good about putting tarps on the lawn where they were doing any cutting of material etc), and friendly, and the other trades who came in seemed fine too. SSC's field guy stopped by probably every other day to make sure everything was running smoothly.

I honestly can't say enough good things about working with SSC and would hire them again in a second.

The folks from Solid State Construction were very professional, friendly and polite. They took great care residing our house, communicating questions and status frequently. We felt included in the process and are happy we chose Solid State Construction to do the work. The value and skill they bring to a job make it easy for us to recommend them.

We are beyond happy with the siding installation performed by Solid State. The crew assigned to our project from start to finish was professional, knowledgable, and reliable. Design process with Heidi was not rushed and options discussed and she was not afraid to bring us back to the best place for our house and us based on our goals. The Installation crew Saulo and his partner were ontime every day worked tirelessly and treated our property and unique needs like an "easy" job and we knew it was not always easy. They had 2 young puppies to work around and keep safe, when they needed to be outside when/where they were working. A clean/safe environment was left every day the crew was onsite. The regular follow up from Lisa during the project and after the project was completed spoke volumes to us on how the company values their clients. We would highly recommend Solid State Thank you Carolyn & Dan LeBlanc

Our interactions with Solid State Construction were fantastic. We spoke to them about our siding project and they were great to deal with. Big shout out to our rep – Adam Rigoli – he was just awesome. Friendly, helpful, hard-working and responsive – he was just a pleasure. Eventually we did opt to go with a different brand of siding not offered by Solid State but still wanted to call out how great they were to talk with on our project. Still have plenty to do and will definitely contact them again for my next project!

Just completed the re-siding of our house with Hardy Plank siding, as well as installation of a sliding glass door out to our deck. Very pleased with final outcome. Crew repaired several areas of rot which were exposed upon removal of old 40+ year old siding.

Solid State recently replaced the clapboard siding on one side of my house. The design details, materials and workmanship was very high quality and on schedule. The initial estimates included discussion of the important flashing details which is an indication of their design focus on small details that will make a lot of difference in the long term durability. They also use PVC trim and include extra wide trim where splashing could be an issue. The James Hardie siding material is an excellent product but it must be applied correctly which was done. I believe Solid State is one of the largest users of James Hardie siding in the North East.
so they really know how to apply it well. The removal of the old siding was done in one day by a crew trained for just that work and all debris was cleaned and removed. The Hardie underlayment material is very strong and was well taped at all seams. The siding and flashing was installed by a second team who were true artists. The job was done perfectly and minor extra requests (making two vent PVC mounts for another part of the house that was not part of the quote) were done readily by a crew who obviously new what complete service really means. The final pleasant surprise came when I found that the Hardie siding used does not require paint so there was a considerable cost savings on that. Contracts and billing was all done on line and seamlessly. All in all an excellent experience. I will use Solid State in the future and recommend them to others.

I had Solid State replace my ROOF, SKY LIGHT, Hardie Board SIDING, 2 DOORS and GUTTERS. The roofing crew, 6 people, was very fast and thorough. A new skylight was also installed. The primary carpenter for the siding was very good. I would hire him again. His helper was ok. A second helper was better. I had many questions and they were addressed to my satisfaction. The Electricians were very good, I bought my own fixtures and they provided the extras I needed to complete the installation. The Gutter guy went above 100% installing a larger gutter than quoted, due to size of roof. Lisa, in the office is very good, Chris the Foreman is also good to work with.
Cons: Winter, makes everything harder.
Would I use them again? Probably . If I need to? I have extra parts .

Solid State Construction saved me from a horrible and less than honest contractor who's work was dangerously bad and looked like it was done by remedial wood shop students. It took only a week to see that they were making a mess of my home. And ruining expensive James Hardie siding product and trim. Not to mention papering over existing holes from their window installation. They must have thought the siding would cover it up.
Solid State Construction advised me on how to proceed with properly residing my home, from rewrapping the house , properly mounting and attaching and sealing the new windows, and repairing any underlayment that required it. Basically starting over in Dec of 2020.
The crew worked in awful winter conditions, and took the time to do it beautifully and correctly. I can't say enough good things. Steve, Brandon, Norman and crew are worth every penny. And more. You cannot go wrong with Solid State Construction. Take it from someone who tried elsewhere.
Thanks for saving our house.

Everyone from Solid State was professional, friendly and SO efficient. Beautiful job on our roof and they left the perimeter absolutely spotless, not one nail left behind. 10 out of 10 would contact them again for construction needs.

I was very happy to hire Solid State
For a complex Hardie Board siding and trim replacement project. They were very professional, and completed the work flawlessly, on time and on budget. I will hire them again in the future!

Solid State did an awesome job with our siding and replacement windows and doors. We hired Solid State to reside our 99-year-old Dutch Colonial home with Hardie Siding. The house had two layers of siding: the original and 70s aluminum siding. We also replaced two new doors and two new windows as a part of the project. The Solid State crew was always punctual and hardworking and finished the project in a timely manner even during a very rainy spring. All questions and concerns were addressed in a professional manner. The house looks beautiful, and I would highly recommend Solidi State.

Solid State recently installed James Hardie siding on my 55 year old house. The transformation is amazing. The house looks brand new.
Company representatives and the Project Manager did a great job of keeping me informed during the project and the work crew did a great job cleaning up at the end. I would highly recommend them.
