M Squared Contracting

This is our 3rd home improvement project and the 1st time we've wanted to make a recommendation! Mike and his crew were unfailingly professional, responsible, communicative and tidy - PLUS they did a great job! They showed up every morning and cleaned up every evening. We got an e-mail from Mike almost every night, detailing that day's progress and new challenges (unavoidable with old houses), and making sure that we were on track with whatever decisions had to be made to keep the project running smoothly. M-Squared was committed to their original time estimate and when unexpected electrical issues slowed them down, they worked weekends in an effort to stay on schedule. We were most impressed by the scope and caliber of subtrades that they were able to call upon -for example, the job did not originally require a master electrician, but it did once they opened up the walls and found outdated wiring. M-Squared was able to bring in a terrrific electrician right away, avoiding what could have turned into a lengthy delay. M-Squared also provided a detailed cost estimate from the very beginning, which made it easy to see where we were spending our money and where we might cut back. The final cost did come out well above the initial estimate, but again, old houses mean lots of surprises so you have to expect that. The important thing was that Mike kept us informed, and submitted invoices for all subtrades and materials along with hours worked by his own crew.
When small problems surfaced many months after the work was complete, they showed up to correct them promptly and politely. We know so many people who have ended up feeling disappointed and taken advantage of by their contractors. M-Squared was not inexpensive, but we ended up with a lovely finished product that was completed on schedule with minimal stress and no conflict. I am happy to recommend M-Squared.
