Architectural Design in Hampton Beach.

“I'm happy to give Scott Curtice my strongest positive recommendation. Our project went quite smoothly, staying on schedule thanks to the fact that my office is in the house and Scott's commitment to providing a foreman. This enabled us to make decisions quickly and address problems promptly. Scott and his crew showed a lot of creativity in meeting our requirement to stay in the house during the renovation, to the extent of setting up a temporary kitchen and shower in the basement. In the end, we only had to be out of the house for about a week. He was also very good about coordinating with our architect and the cabinetmaker that we selected ourselves. Having heard a few horror stories of renovation cost overruns, I think we also did well in this respect. Our final figure was about 10% more than the initial estimate due to the kind of unforeseen issues that can be expected on any such project, along with a few changes that we ordered. The level of detail Scott provides in his constantly updated spreadsheet also helped us to make some decisions that reduced our cost.”

“We chose Sunspace Design over other companies because we wanted a custom sunroom- not a one-size-fits-all outfit that assembles pre-made components. They carefully listened to our wishes, and designed just what we asked for! They custom-build an 18' x 14' Glass Conservatory attached to our home. They also made helpful suggestions to give us a unique room, complete with varnished mahogany ceiling beams and an all-glass roof. Their workmen are professionals with many years of experience- not easy to find these days when anybody with a hammer can call themselves a carpenter. They strategically used cedar in places to assure no rotting wood in the decades to come. When we asked for changes along the way, they had the experience to know how to accomplish it. We also interviewed other sunroom companies, but they could only offer pre-fab units in limited sizes... basically, they were "assemblers" for large franchises- exactly what we didn't want. Sunspace Design builds custom rooms- based on what you want, how you want it, and something that doesn't look like it came from one of the 'Box Stores'. Tom, his son, JT, and their crew were all very qualified professionals, each with many years of experience. We highly recommend Sunspace Design!!!”

“After a year of searching for the right people to replace our attached carport we were happy to find Crossroads Contracting. From the first meeting with the project manager ( Nick), we could see that this was going to be a positive experience. Nick worked with us to design something that was both structurally superior and surprisingly affordable. In fact, we were so impressed with the workmanship that we hired them again a few months later to replace our porch. If you are looking for quality work at a competitive price , then look no further. Our thanks to Nick, Crystal, Johnny, Shaun, Barry & Jim for increasing both the comfort level and the value of our home. We know who we will be calling for any future projects!”

“Linda was the designer and project manager for the cupola renovation of our Eastlake Stick Victorian house. (http://www.houzz.com/projects/152835). The design exceeded our expectations and we were very pleased with her management of the project. Linda was very receptive to our desires and quickly responsive to any requests and concerns. Where renovations can become quite stressful, Linda created trust and gave us peace of mind. We very much enjoyed working with her and the talent she brought to the project. The cupola is unique and has become the favorite space in our home.”

“Installed a great new kitchen in our old house. Worked around the quirky antique dimensions. Very good value for the price.”

“Removal and remodel of dining room ceiling, crown molding, new windows, insulation around windows, hanging of barn door, demo and rebulding a built in cabinet.”

“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.”

“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!”

“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.”

“Brian crafted a beautiful new front door for us. The quality of the work was fantastic and working with Brian was easy. I highly recommend him for any of your own projects.”
