“Ivan is fabulous at what he does. His subs are all top notch, always on time and professional. Would I use him again? You bet - we're working on another potential project right now. Ivan has great ideas and he listens to your ideas and suggests alternatives to that crazy design idea you have in your mind. Wonderful to work with but most of all he and his team are dependable.”

“THE PROJECT: My husband and I bought a two-family home as an investment property with the goal of living on the top floor; however, the unit we wanted to live in had a very closed-in feel and was out-dated. We knew we needed to hire a professional to help us open up our unit and modernize the look and feel... so that's when we called Lorenzo from LC Construction. With his help, we got a beautiful new kitchen, living room, office, bathroom, bedroom, and an amazing walk-in closet. He successfully transformed a 950 square foot unit and made it feel like it was twice the size. SOLID EXPERIENCE AND GREAT PLANNER: Lorenzo was great at listening to our needs and helped us narrow down ideas. It can be very overwhelming when you are changing 80% of your space, but his upbeat personality and excellent communication skills put us at ease. You can tell he has a passion for good design and flow. He really took the time to help us strategically plan the room according to our lifestyle and taste. He was also good about making the most of our budget by recycling/repurposing materials i.e., re-painting existing cabinets instead of buying new ones and repurposing old hardwood floors for a new room. Small things like that really demonstrated his knowledge and experience. GREAT CRAFTSMANSHIP: Now with the project done, we get so many compliments on the quality of work. It seriously looks like you’re stepping into a magazine! Even an untrained eye can tell that everything was done with the utmost care. His crew was always there on time, very polite, and kept the job site very orderly. We appreciated the time Lorenzo took to walk us through the job site and propose new ideas that were not necessarily on the project plan such as frosting the windows of a sliding door and creating drawers/shelves in the wall to make the most of our space. ON TIME & ON BUDGET: I've heard many horror stories from people who hired contractors where projects got prolonged or went way over budget. We never got surprise invoices with numbers we didn't agree on and he got our project done on the day we needed to move in. FINAL REMARKS: What you're really getting with LC Construction is an amazing end product AND a great experience. Lorenzo’s enthusiasm, charm and expertise made the whole process fun and motivating throughout. He’s worth every penny and we’re looking forward to working with him again on another project.”

“We had Alexi replace a side deck, cut in a slider and add a new deck out the back of our house. This required removing an old attached shed, plumbing and electrical work on top of building the new deck and slider. He showed up to bid on the job with sample materials, took notes and gave great advice. Extremely knowledgeable. Entire project was on budget, on time, and of the highest quality workmanship. Best renovation experience I have ever had! I would use them again and not even bother with other quotes from other contractors. Dave from Lexington, Ma.”

“We worked with Carpenter & MacNeille over the winter and early spring of 2014 to redecorate The Inn at Castle Hill, a ten-room B&B in Ipswich, Massachusetts. The project included new and reupholstered furniture, new rugs/carpeting, new paint and wallpaper, new lighting, new window treatments, and accessories (accent pillows, decorative items, etc.), and a small amount of construction. We were looking for "design wow" in keeping with the five-star nature of the Inn, which is nestled into a corner of The Crane Estate, a seaside country estate that has been designated a National Historic Landmark. We are thrilled with the results. Carpenter & MacNeille had done much of the original design and construction for the Inn a decade before. They listened carefully to our goals for this project, understood precisely what we hoped to accomplish, helped us prioritize in ways that significantly improved our impact, and provided insightful design guidance along the way. The project was on budget and guests are saying that the Inn has never looked better!”
