Not impressed. Recently invited to quote on a couple of jobs, Herb Chasen put together a quote without even looking at the work. Consequently quoted $2,000 for a couple of hours demolition. I did the work myself.

Very, very high recommendation for Herb Chasen
Fair, scrupulous and looks for ways to save YOU money. Good example, we recently had a plumber out to snake a drain. Plumber sourced the problem to a sagging pipe in our basement - said it would be a $700 job to correct the problem. Herb came by yesterday to start some work he's doing for us and when we showed him the pipe he chuckled and said that was a minor fix for a $3 part and he would do it as part of our already established work order.
He's done work for our neighbors and they have the most beautiful home on the whole street.
Check out his web site! Everything from the small stuff to the big stuff.

I have used George Cyr of Cyr Contracting to do work on my house a few times. He is very reliable and does excellent quality work. He handles all aspects of carpentry and building including additions and remodelling. He would also be able to bring in an electrician and a mason to help you. He's based in Upton and can be reached at .

I have used him in the past and he was great. His pricing was very competitive and in some cases more work for less money. Be sure to tell him exactly what you want and you will get it. Nice guy, too.......

He's great! He built a custom bookcase and repainted our living room, foyer, stairway, and hall. Very dependable, great work, cared about the little details, and nice crew. He stopped by our house every day to check up on things, and was accessible by phone. We plan to call him for future projects.

Jim Murphy
The people I use, and recommend highly, for both commercial and home jobs, include:
General contractor and carpenter: Jim Murphy
Plumber: Steve Bottazzi
Electrician: Dave Comerato
Jim can also help you find a painter, plasterer, carpet guy, etc.
All are honest, friendly, intelligent, and reasonably-priced. Always good to get quotes, of course, but these guys will be competitive.
