I had Peter and his crew renovate my bathroom and put a floor into the unfinished attic of my condo unit. I knew when I met him that he was a no-nonsense, highly professional contractor. In his estimate for the bathroom, he was very clear in delineating our respective responsibilities. The bathroom turned out pretty much exactly how I had conceived it, and I attribute a lot of that to Peter and his crew's experience and skill, and his ability to listen, ask the right questions, and be available for questions from me.
I was very busy at the time the work was being done, and I hugely appreciated Peter's inclination to take care of things that I simply did not have the time or energy to handle. And, I did enjoy talking with him, about non-project related stuff. All in all a very pleasant experience with the desired outcome.

Peter recently finished two jobs for me. Refinishing a partially finished basement and adding a separate office in the basement. Peter and his team (especially Oliver) did a great job and we are very pleased with the outcome. Peter has years of experience and had some great advice during the process which really made a difference. They made a beautiful built- in entertainment center for us from a picture I gave them from pottery barn.
We get compliments all the time. The team is focused on your satisfaction, even repainting and touching up areas where my (over) attention to detail took over. Overall, we are very happy with the job they did and will be using them again in the future.

Peter and his team did a very extensive renovation of our home: building new attic stairs, completely redoing two bathrooms, kitchen counters, flooring throughout, chimney removal, knocking down walls, and adding AC. Plus odds and ends. He did a great job and we've been very happy with the work. He actually did most of it while we were out of state, and he was super easy to communicate with and trustworthy to manage things in our absence. His subcontractors are all as wonderful as Peter--super responsive, professional, and expert. We've recommended him to others and would use him again for another job without hesitation.

Peter completed two jobs in my house and both were done with great craftsmanship. He finished our basement and installed a new doorway along with some other repairs throughout our house. He was very professional and provided an estimate that was true to the final cost and timeline. He cleaned up the job beautifully after each day which was also great. We were very happy with his work and will definitely use him again and recommend him to others.

We hired Peter for a complete gut job & remodel of our bathroom. As first time home buyers, we were nervous as to what to expect and afraid of being taken advantage of. Peter responded to our request for a quote quickly and talked us about all the possible options to maximize space. Throughout the remodel, Peter gave updates as far as timeline and answered all of our questions. Peter was responsive to phone calls & emails. He is a perfectionist which is shown in his work. We will be definitely calling Peter back for any future work we need in our house.

Things started out well enough; Peter responded to my email and we agreed for him to come by and give an estimate later in the week. Unfortunately he neither showed up or called to cancel. Like the other poster, I opted to move on.

I wish I could add stars to this rating. My first experience with Peter Duffy and Remodeling Boston was a very modest project. The latest one was far greater in scope and effort: we needed significant woodwork removed, replaced, and painted around the third floor of the house. Peter's management and attention to quality detail was the same as it had been in my first experience. Peter quite simply took care of ensuring that we came in on time and on budget without compromising our long-term results.
And again, I am particular and I looked closely. Peter also navigated the different personalities of his team, the specialty contractors, and the other owners. It certainly made the process far easier as I always felt confident about progress and results. All that to say, I will again recommend Remodeling Boston without hesitation!
