Granny Flat Design & Construction Services in Franklin, MA

“PBF Home Renovation & Design is an absolute gem! This past fall we hired Pam to take care of our small but mighty bathroom renovation. At 7 months pregnant I could not be bothered with any of the details nor did I have the time to even remotely think about how to get it done. After an initial meeting with Pam and her team, they set to work -- finding us the right resources, re-configuring the space, selecting and sourcing everything from floors to fixtures, color palettes and finishes, and most importantly working within my budget and timeline. Our next big project -- opening up the kitchen and downstairs of our home -- will definitely be handled by PBF!”

“We cannot imagine that any group could have done better in renovating our 1862-built home than Gary Streck CRM, Inc. They oversaw a top-to-bottom refitting of a home that was poorly lit, had knob-and-tube wiring, lacked central air conditioning, and had the original Victorian woodwork (which while beautiful showed the ravages of time). They had access to skilled artisans who brought care and imagination to the thousands of puzzles posed by making a house modern but preserving period detail. Bathrooms were remodeled, a state-of-the-art home theater was created, and a whole floor was reconstructed. Gary Streck CRM kept them on the job, on deadline, and within budget. Always professional and always setting the highest standards for any of the jobs performed. Thanks to them, we know that we live in an historic home but remain warm in the winter, cool in the summer, and well lit. The "Old World" level of craftmanship is evident in every room. It was quite an accomplishment for Gary Streck CRM and worthy of the Golden Prism Award for Best Historic Renovation in 2013.”

“.....the design services and construction that were provided by Avalon Design Concepts in our Family Room addition as well as Kitchen and Dining Room renovations exceeded our expectations. Erick and his subs were friendly, courteous and very professional throughout the entire process of the construction. Our project was completed in a somewhat “timely” manner with the expected delay of items we had special ordered that arrived in less than “acceptable” condition and had to be exchanged. My husband and I are ecstatic with the final product and absolutely recommend Erick and his company…….An excellent group of professionals to work with……”

“My wife and I needed a kitchen renovation and we were referred to Bertola Custom Homes by a friend. Joe came to our house shortly after we contacted his company to provide us with an estimate. We had a general idea of what we wanted and that included removing two structural walls to open up our floor plan. The job was big and very complex, however Joe was able to design the alteration on the spot and 3 days after we met the walls were gone. Because the new design asked for a window relocation, we also had them repair some rotten woodwork on the exterior and paint the entire house. It was very impressive how quickly he managed to come up with drawings from an Engineer, the building permits and begin the work. Everything went very smoothly. The crew moved and protected the furniture as well as the floors. They were friendly, worked very hard, and the site was kept super clean at all times. We also liked the air filter that they provided. It helped to control all the dust from getting everywhere. The final product is amazing. Joe takes real pride of his work. We appreciate his professionalism, work ethic, honesty and positive attitude. It has been amazingly easy dealing with Joe and his team. All of them are super nice and fun to be around. We are extremely happy with all the work and are already on his busy schedule for remodeling four of our bathrooms in the fall. Highly recommend.”

“I am almost done with a whole house renovation with Out of the Woods (OOTW) and I could not be happier. The quality of the craftsmanship is evident in every detail. Greg and his team have been so helpful throughout the entire process - providing ideas and helping me work within my budget. During demolition we uncovered some beautiful old beams in my house and the OOTW team helped brainstorm an incredible addition to the kitchen remodel. While I can't wait to have my house done, I will miss working with everyone. I hope to post pictures on Houzz when the project is done so everyone can see the great work done by Out of the Woods.”

“This is the best contractor I have ever hired. He has an excellent eye for detail and color flow of interior work and he carries this for outdoor as well. He has great creativity for any project and checks for safety. What started as a load bearing wall coming down ended up an unimaginable Beautiful, gorgeous "big" living room which I get many compliments to this day. He was mindful to make sure all work was really contained and cleaned up each day. Hs eye for details i.e., molding, color scheme, fireplace mantel framing off, was never missed and made sure he suggested any and all to home owner on how the enhancement would flow or improve.. I cannot say enough at how pleased I was at all the work done by Bram and his team. They were reliable and all professional. My confidence in his work since the first project has grown so much, that I generally just let him run with all projects without much needed guidance from me. He will always do right by any given project and you will not be disappointed.”

“Paul Dobler remodeled a 1980’s house in Colorado for us. It was originally built with radiant heat along the center beam of the house, so all of the rooms had walls up to the door headers and no ceilings! He raised the walls up to the open beam roof, tore down and resized 2 bedrooms with pocket doors in the closets and transom windows above the doors. He moved the front wall of the house out 8 feet to expand the living room. Paul also designed a 20 x 20 sun room addition with Structural Insulated Panels. He installed 4” aluminum air tubes embedded in the concrete floor that move air warmed by the tile floor in this south-facing room through the crawl space and connect to the existing heat ducts for added solar gain. He installed an amazing Nanowall 6-panel glass folding door that opens onto a deck that surrounds the room on 3 sides. The sun room is connected to the existing building with glass pocket doors. Paul is an expert at hanging doors. The sun room addition has an upper covered deck accessed by a custom metal stairway. Paul suggested the upper deck to add some outdoor living space and to make the most of the view of Mesa Verde and the LaPlata Mountains. Paul also removed the damaged concrete walkway along the driveway and had new concrete poured on all 4 sides of the house. He designed a new front entry and a back mud room. The finishing touch was stucco on the outside in a Southwest style. Throughout the design process Paul worked diligently to incorporate every detail that was important to us. He used a program integrated with Google Earth that let us “walk through” the house at different times of the day and year. Having him on-site working with the building crew and overseeing the subcontractors was invaluable. He met the challenge of a 50-mile drive to Home Depot and a delivery schedule of “sometime next week” from the local hardware store. We’re very pleased with Paul’s work on our home and would hire him again without hesitation.”

“We purchased a condo that Curt built and had the opportunity to customize it. We had no experience with building a new structure or customizing the interior. Curt and Holly walked us through the process and were very patient with our decision making processes. Four years later, we are very pleased with the results. We found Curt to be responsive when fixes (there are always some) were needed. We'd highly recommend Curt Plante.”

“Jen and her team did an amazing job with our renovation. Converted a spare room into a master bathroom and remodeled 2 other existing bathroooms. Jen walked us through the entire process, spent time understanding our style preferences, and designed 3 bathrooms that came out even better than we imagined. Her team had excellent craftsmanship - the inspector commented on the high quality of the work - and they were professional, clean, and completed the work on time and on budget. We will definitely use Champagne silk again for our future renovations.”

“Kyle offers a full design and build service that few other contracts can compete with. As a kitchen designer, I can attest to his proficiency with designing well functioning living spaces. I've worked with Kyle on multiple jobs and have found tjat his quality of workmanship is second to none.”
