"I
have built two houses in the past and have owned a third, so I
am more than familiar with contractors and home service providers...most
which has been more than a little challenging. My experience with
Dave West from Meadowview and all of his crew has been outstanding.
Dave is a true professional, always calls back, provides reasonable
estimates, meets all deadlines and is an all around pleasure.
No job is too small or too big for this company - they are a full
service provider!
The crew from Meadowview treats my house as they would their own.
They start and finish on time, will always go above and beyond
and are trustworthy enough that I let them come and go in my home
to do the work without being here - which is the highest compliment
I could give them. One of the most amazing things about this crew
is that they are so clean - the work gets done, but you would
never know they were here because they take such good care to
clean up after all the work.
If a recommendation is needed, I would HIGHLY recommend Meadowview
as the BEST contractor I have ever come across through the years."
"I
can't believe things are almost over, either. This has been quite
a process and though it is not one that I would really opt to
go through again any time soon, Paul and I are very happy with
the "almost final" results. We are also REALLY, REALLY
happy that Rick was able to be the person in charge. He brought
to the job the exact perfect mix of professionalism, workmanship
and fun. It seemed to us that he coordinated Meadowview Construction's
equally as professional crews of painters, plumbers and electricians,
as well as the granite installers, with seamless effort.
Rick made sure that everything ran smoothly and always kept us
apprised of what was going to happen when. He also made sure that
when he said something was going to happen it did. His insistence
that the work be done properly and professionally was very reassuring
to us and his perseverence in "getting it right" was
very evident when he dealt with both the cabinet company (to replace
badly painted or just plain wrong cabinets) and when the granite
needed to be removed, not once, but twice from the house he made
sure that it was. I still can't believe they actually had to bring
it down here three times! It's not like returning curtains or
some other lightweight purchase!! But, yes, it looks great and
we are really pleased with the final fit and look of the granite.
We were also happy with the daily clean up. It made us feel that
our home was somewhat "in control" during what could
have been a really "out of control" experience!
We really appreciated (well, I certainly did) Rick's "no
problem, not to worry" manner when things did seem, at least
to me, like they were sliding out of MY control! He was very reassuring
that everything was going to be OK- and he was right! It was!
We enjoyed meeting Milton, Mike, Les, Brian and Jeff and Cory-
they were all great!
Thanks so much for everything. We would be happy to recommend
Meadowview Construction to anyone looking for renovations or other
construction needs. And, of course, we would not hesitate to call
on you again should the need arise."
"We
wanted to thank you and your crew for doing such a fabulous
job on our cupola. David and Cory were so thorough; they took
their time and did a great job. It looks so nice and we are so
glad we had Meadowview do this job!
We appreciate how responsive you were in getting here within a
few weeks of our initial conversation.
Thanks again! Take care."
"David,
all went pretty smooth with the move into my new home...in a large
part thanks to you and your crew. Those guys are not good ...they
were a AMAZING! I can not tell you how helpful they were to get
this place in shape. You have a great crew - they were a pleasure
to have here. I can not tell you how many times over the past
few days I said that hiring Meadowview was the best thing I did!
Thanks again for all your support. I look forward to the long
list of projects ahead!"
"Everything
is just terrific. We really are so pleased and thank you very
much. When we tell people about our experience they all say how
amazing it is to hear someone speaking positively about a contractor!
You really do have a special niche in this business. Sometimes
its the little things that make the difference (cleaning, protecting,
communicating). Actually they really aren't little things
but I think people go into a process not realizing how important
these things are especially when your house and routines are being
disrupted. Thanks again and best to Dan and Andy."
"As
I think my wife mentioned to you earlier, you may have spoiled
us. My take is that you are a very good business man as well as
a fine craftsman. That is what I expect from a contractor but
where I find most contractors fall short. You have set a high
standard for your business and do a remarkable job of delivering."
"Dave
West from Meadowview Construction has been outstanding. I found
his name through a Google search and after speaking with him once
on the phone, I never called another service provider. The all
around services he has provides has made this move effortless.
Whether it was fixing a few little things or big things, installing
a washer/dryer, building a shelf for a television, even hanging
pictures, his staff was professional and did not waste one minute
of the time while they were here. My to-do list with Meadowview
continues to grow because I trust Dave and his staff to be in
my house without me being here (and being the daughter of a Boston
policeman, that is the highest compliment I can extend to a service
provider). I keep making the joke that having Dave's crew here
is like having my brothers helping me. They have been outstanding!"
"We
are very happy with the washer and dryer (I am especially) and
we were very pleased with Dan and Andrew's work. Everything went
smoothly and the little project was done faster than I had been
anticipating. Thanks again and thanks for getting it done so quickly."
"We
just wanted to let you know how much we’re enjoying our
newly finished basement rooms. Your recommendation was right on
the mark - with the south-facing “Scapewell” windows
installed, any sense of “being in a basement” is really
nonexistent. The space is large, warm, and welcoming.
We’d
also like you to know how much we appreciated the professionalism
with which you and your staff executed the entire project. The
quality of workmanship was excellent. Your staff was consistently
friendly and accommodating. Their attention to details, including
unexpected ones like thorough daily clean-ups of the job site,
was outstanding. Herb Gaudette is a perfectionist and a craftsman,
in addition to being an overall good guy. With regard to project
management, the level of day-to-day communication with us was
terrific – unprecedented, in our past experience with contractors.
We always knew what to expect, and you were 100% true to your
word. There were no surprises. As the shopworn advertising sound-byte
goes, “Priceless!”
We
would be happy to provide positive references (in fact, you may
soon be hearing from at least two of our neighbors who have stopped
by and admired your work.) Best of luck in your future projects,
and we hope to see you again soon."
"We
were recovering from a fire at the house when I called Meadowview
at the suggestion of architect Alex Coogan. It was a good move,
David was sensitive to the era of the house (C 1912) and the stunning
result proves the point. The crew earned our respect sticking
to the job until the last nail, even through sub zero temps and
50 feet of snow. All I can say about the crew, Dan, Bill and Andy
is 'Finest Kind'."
"I'm
happy to recommend your company to my friends. The workmanship
was terrific. Herb is a great lead. He sought my input, and made
helpful suggestions. Meadowview did a great job!"
"Your
crew has just completed a small construction job at Town Hall
for the Cable TV Advisory Committee and Town Website Committee.
I
have been very impressed with the quick response I received from
you with a bid for the job. Your have been flexible in scheduling
the work and have kept me informed. Your crew was professional
and pleasant to work with. They responded to a minor change in
specifications. The work was completed on time and up to my high
expectations. I would be happy to use your services again and
am willing to provide references in the future if needed. Thank
you for your help."
"We
had a great experience with Meadowview Construction. They are
responsive, professional, and thoughtful. Protocol and communication
was straight forward and constant. We never felt as though we
were in the dark about anything that was happening. The carpenter
assigned to our project (Herb) was meticulous about his work,
and it is clear that he loves what he does for a living. Though
our project was really small, we felt that we were well taken
care of. There is no doubt in our minds that when our next project
comes around (big or small), we will be calling Meadowview Construction."
"Meadowview
construction, LLC was contracted to construct a room in about
2/3 of our basement and provide the electrical, plumbing, HVAC
and the blueboard/plastering. Though theirs was not the lowest
of the bids, their responsiveness, attention to detail and precise
work was well worth paying a little extra for. The owner, Dave
West, was very responsive whether by phone or e-mail and changes
were easily accommodated. Additionally both Dave and his project
head, Dan, provided a wealth of ideas for modifications and improvements
to the design concept before and during the room construction.
Additional Meadowview takes the time to assure that all your floors
and walls are well protected during the project. We were very
pleased with the outcome and would highly recommend Meadowview
to our neighbors were the need to arise."
"When
I decided to construct a new media/billiard room in my basement,
I looked for a builder that would do it at a reasonable price
while still maintaining the quality that I sought. I don’t
remember how I found Dave West and Meadowview Construction, but
I am certainly glad that I did. Dave gave me what I was looking
for and then some. His workmen are quality people who realize
that they are working in your home, and not a construction site.
Their work could not have been more precise, and their demeanor
more accommodating. The finished product has my friends envious.
I would recommend and have recommended Meadowview Construction
to anyone who desires quality work by caring craftsmen."
"Yet
another note of many, this one is to answer your question from
yesterday and to praise you rather than to ask another silly question,
which I must say, I am impressed because so far you have answered
all my questions without laughing at me.
You
asked your customers what you should do to your web site to make
it more appealing. Here is my two cents (I do expect it deducted
from my final bill).
When
I started this process a while back and I started interviewing
contractors, all I heard where horror stories from friends and
family that had been through this process. Actually not a single
person came up with a positive thing to say. At several points
of hunting for the right contractor my wife and I started hunting
for houses too, because we felt it might actually be easier to
move rather than to do our project." Read
in it's entirety.
"My
experience with Meadowview Construction has been an absolute pleasure,
which is generally rare when dealing with building contractors.
I have been through three other large construction projects over
the past 12 years, which were very stressful and required a lot
of supervision, ended up way over budget and took twice the time
to complete as promised. My first and recent project with Meadowview
came through on all counts.
David West
and his crew are reliable, time efficient, intelligent, creative
problem solvers, trustworthy, polite and friendly. Their professional
skills and knowledge of the latest and most durable building technologies
were of great benefit to my project.
If I needed
a contracting company in the future I would have no doubt about
using Meadowview again and would recommend them highly to anyone
in need of a good contractor."
"Meadowview
Construction - Thanks for a job well done and quickly! We're used
to not hearing back from a construction company for weeks and
weeks, but with Meadowview, we found prompt response and action.
It's nice to see that for a change. Also, the team of workers
was wonderful. They were very professional and just "a nice
couple of guys". Thanks Marty and Jason for your hard work.
The outcome was excellent. My family is very pleased with the
work. We will definately recommend Meadowview Construction to
anyone needing any type of construction/remodeling. David, it
was a pleasure doing business with you and your company and look
forward to your services again in the Spring. Thank You!"
"Having
a project done by Meadowview Construction is about as good as
it gets! The workmanship is excellent, the crew courteous and
respectful of property and the work is completed in as timely
a manner as possible. In addition, the contractor, David West,
is accessible. David responds to phone calls and e-mails promptly.
He solicits comments regarding the ongoing project and addresses
all concerns. Clearly, pleasing the customer and keeping disruption
to a minimum during the building process are top priorities. We
have not found all of the aforementioned traits with any company
with whom we have done business in the past.
We strongly
endorse and recommend Meadowview Construction. We intend to employ
them again for any future projects on our home."
"We
are very happy about the progress, your attention to detail and
your expertise on making the gazebo durable!"
"Dan
was so helpful the other day when the steps to the bulkhead gave
way. We appreciated it."
"It's
been very easy working with Meadowview. Your workers are all very
pleasant and talented"
"We
have heard so many horror stories in home renovation that we went
into this expecting, if not the worst, then at least our small
share of it. But working with [Meadowview] has been pure joy,
so positive we look forward to the next project with great anticipation..."
"...we
never had any concerns about the subcontractors who came in and
out of the house each day. They dealt with us in a professional
and courteous manner. This was very important to us since we have
three small children..."'
"...We
recommend [Meadowview Construction] to anyone who wants top standards
of work from people you enjoy working with."
"...The
window is wonderful and the bookcases are a godsend! How did I
live all these years without them?"
"Like
any project, there were rough spots along the way. When they occurred,
[Meadowview] dealt with them honestly and openly and in an expeditious
fashion, something [my husband] and I really appreciated..."
"...Dave
organized the renovation very well. The project moved briskly,
and Dave and his crew were on site and working near constantly
(weather permitting). Even though my family had to move out for
a few months during the project, Dave and his crew nonetheless
kept the site remarkably clean..."
"I
can honestly say that working with David West and Meadowview Construction
was the most pleasant experience [my wife] and I have ever had
with a contractor."
"...Dave
and his crew are very professional and not at all what comes to
mind when you think of the stereotypical, fly-by-night contractors.
They are experienced and knowledgeable, and they genuinely care
about the quality of their work...When problems arose...[Meadowview]
knew how to attack and resolve them."
"...[Meadowview
Construction] was reliable and courteous, and the project was
completed on time and on budget. Quaility craftsmanship at a reasonable
price."
"...We
are so glad we chose Meadowview Construction. We always felt you
were available, easy to talk to and willing to listen...Both on
a personal and professional level [Meadowview] made this process
very easy for us. We have exactly what we wanted...We have no
regrets!"
"...you
have helped us create the house we'd imagined. Your work is detailed
and of extremely high quality."
"Thank
you---you and your crew were fun and professional."
"...They
took care to address even the smallest details on our project,
and they did not adopt the 'you-can't-see-it-from-my-house' mentality
when it came to reviewing their work. They were not satisfied
until we were satisfied."
"...Dave
and his crew are genuinely nice to be around...I truly appreciate
that Dave and his crew are unfailingly polite. They were even
nice to my kids..."
"The
end of our project has come and we couldn't be happier. After
all has been said and done, the quiet that has settled here had
been tough to adjust to. We will miss the Meadowview crew; they
are certainly an asset to your company...For a project that required
a good portion of our lives to be disrupted, it didn't always
seem so bad."
"...Perhaps
the most important job you've done is to coordinate all the workers,
inspectors, materials and issues big and small and kept us up
to date and informed at all times."
"Meadowview
Construction is the most professional contracting team that we
have dealt with. Their work is outstanding. Quality control and
communication with the client are exceptional..."
"Right
from the start David felt like a real partner in the project,
helping us design the rooms, making suggestions on where we could
save money, trying to understand our major concerns and settling
on how we could work together...[Meadowview] presented us with
a very detailed project plan, which outlined precisely all facets
of the project and allowed us to track...the progress being made..."
