Constraction reviews in Shirley, Massachusetts

We selected Solid State from 5 companies, and we are very happy with the result (James Hardie siding). Sales person (Adam) was great, he explained what exactly should be done in our case, and his explanations were the most reasonable. Unlike others he did not inflate the price so that he would be able to lower it later, and his price was very reasonable. He explained that we will not pay in advance for unexpected problems like rotten wood because he does not expect substantial problems and he does not want to charge us many thousands in advance for something we most likely will not need (and he appeared right, these extra charges were reasonable and minimal). The guys that did the job were great. They paid attention to everything, they knew what they were doing, and the quality was excellent. They implemented all our reasonable requests and very politely explained why a few requests were not reasonable (they were right!). The workplace was clean at the end of each day. The result was even better than we expected.
Thank you for the excellent work!

We hired Solid State Construction to install new siding on our 30 year old home. We wanted to replace our very dry and cracking vertical cedar siding and researched several local contractors who could install Board and Batten siding but we selected Solid State as they could install the James HardieBoard Aspire siding vertically. The SSC crew arrived and completed the siding removal, re-wrapping, siding installation and necessary trim replacement within the 2-3 week period that they stated that it would be completed. Work areas were cleaned after each day and for the few minor issues that arose, the Site Project manager Chris was available via cell phone and would arrive to ensure that the crew was on-point with what needed to be done. Kudos to the field crew of Johnny and Zack who worked hard through the COVID-19 face covering protocol in the heat of summer. PM Chris and other team members were very responsive to any and all requests.

Want to share our great experience with Solid State Construction and James Hardie siding. With the house having been painted at least four times, the results of a fifth were going to be less than desired. The pictures pretty much show the before and after. It was a complete stripping of shingles, soffits, etc. Also the windows were replaced. The result is stunning, and many people walking by stopped and asked about the job. Also want to add the great experience with the crew. They were on site every day(except one Holiday and a rain day), cleaned up at the end of the day. It was also beneficial to have anticipated some unexpected issues, especially in a 55 year old house.

Extremely Disappointed with Solid State Construction

We hired Solid State Construction to do the siding on our home, and the experience was very frustrating from start to finish. The sales representative Adam made a lot of promises that were not kept — we were told our house would look “absolutely gorgeous” with no visible seams, but that was far from the truth.

There were multiple mistakes during the project, and parts had to be redone because the crew didn’t have the correct information from the salesperson. The project was also delayed several times, and communication was poor throughout. After the work was completed, no one followed up to see if everything was okay.

Since the siding job, we’ve had mice in our home for the first time ever, and I have addressed this with Erika (the Owner) and was dismissed by her and Chris the project manager stating it is not due to anything they did. I do not believe in coincidences. We also noticed our gutters — which they reinstalled — are now leaking and have yet to come fix them and the project was completed in July. It feels like once they got paid, the company stopped caring.

Overall, this was a very disappointing experience. I would never recommend Solid State Construction to anyone, and I hope others avoid the stress and frustration we went through.

We had some exterior repairs done as well as removing all wood siding and replacing with Hardie fiber cement siding, installing gutters, and shutters. The house looks INCREDIBLE!! It was great working with Solid State Construction; the people are easy to reach and responsive to any questions or concerns, easy to talk to, and flexible! The installers- Norman and his team are the best - they are super nice and respectful, work diligently while also paying attention to detail and not taking shortcuts, clean up at the end of each day, and my dogs absolutely adore them! We loved having them work at the house and would absolutely reach out to Solid State for any other projects that might come up!

Our condo building had been experiencing leaks during heavy rainstorms and previous efforts to fix things hadn't worked. JC from Solid State came out to discuss what was going on and possible options to fix things. He was very helpful in explaining how the siding system should work to prevent leaks, and efforts his team makes to ensure things are done correctly. He quickly provided an initial estimate with different options, and was quick to follow up with quotes for some additional work we considered. I highly recommend talking with JC and Solid State for any projects.

We needed to have the siding on our house replaced after finding out that the original contractor hadn’t put any weatherproofing under the siding and we developed some leaks into the house. I asked around in the town Facebook group and one of the recommendations was Solid State Construction. We met with Jarrod, the sales rep, and he was great about explaining the whole process, going over our options, and addressing our concerns. We had hired another company to do doors, windows, and some other exterior work and got kind of burned by them, so we were very cautious going into this project and asked a lot of questions. Jarrod was great about answering all of our questions and we ultimately decided to go with Solid State Construction for the project. We were really happy with the work they did. The crew was great and the project manager, Thiago, was also great about answering any questions we had and addressing any concerns. We would highly recommend Solid State Construction if you’re looking for new siding.

Solid State just wrapped up completion on an extensive job for our two family home which included a new roof, removal of four skylights and a massive two story deck.
The first face of Solid State that we had the pleasure of meeting with was Adam, who came out for the initial assessment and planning of our project. Adam was very personable, knowledgeable and extremely easy to work with. He promptly returned with an estimate and a detailed presentation about the company and their products so that we were well informed and confident before we made the decision to hire Solid State.
The owner, Jeff took the time to come out and meet with us, he also spent many hours with the planning of our rather complicated set up to accommodate both a lower and upper deck. Jeff made himself available by phone, text and email and quickly responded to any questions or concerns we had.
Andre and his crew were amazing, arriving early each morning and diligently working hard each day. They went above and beyond our expectations. A special thank you to them for re erecting our dog pen that had to come down in the process of demolishing our old existing decks.
We would highly recommend Solid State. We are extremely satisfied with their quality of workmanship, ease to work with and dedication throughout the duration of our project.

Replaced pine siding with Hardie board and replaced a garage window.

We contacted Solid State in mid-October when we discovered our siding needed replacement. By the end of the month, we had a signed contract. The materials (and dumpster and porta-potty) arrived 2 weeks later. The crew worked through freezing temperatures and multiple snow storms. A change order for the replacement of rotted sheathing was handled smoothly.

Once the project was underway, communication from the project manager dwindled, but he was always available by text or phone. Cleanup when the project was complete was immediate and very thorough.

I have a pear tree espaliered on the back of my garage. Looks spectacular in bloom and even produces a few pears. I thought I would have to lose that tree. Nope! The crew came up with an elegant, ingenious (and almost invisible) way to re-attach it. I get to keep my tree!

The house looks wonderful and we look forward to years of little or no maintenance. And maybe some pears.

Thank you Solid State!

Solid State actually did both my and my sons home with 2 different crews. We went with the Hardie board clapboards and trim. While certainly not "inexpensive", this is a true case of VALUE. The product is top notch and we will never have to to another thing to the exterior of my home and my sons home.

Two different crews worked through VERY COLD days (and SNOWY) and got the jobs done. Both crews were AWESOME. The quality of the product was matched by the quality of the installation work.

Some important things to note:

- They worked fast and effectively, the job of complete stripping of the cedar shakes and trim was done in a few days. Wrapping and weather proofing only another few days.

- The installation of the Hardie Board was meticulous and not rushed.

- The teams cleaned up everyday and after the job was completed both yards were spotless!

Anytime I had a question or concern, it was addressed in a timely manner.

This is the easiest 5 start review I have ever given!

Solid State Construction performed a complete residing of our home this winter, as well as installing new windows. Anyone living north of Boston knows that the winter weather of 2026 has been extremely challenging, but Solid State rose to that challenge. The 'boots on the ground' workers showed up in some harsh conditions, and the work they did was consistently stellar. They were a wonderful crew to have working on our home. The project manager, Chris, dealt with any issues that arose calmly, effectively, and professionally. I believe that Solid State went above and beyond in their work on our home, and gave extremely good value for the price. I not only recommend them without any reservations....I heartily endorse them.
