"We call or email and receive communication within 24 hours.  A visit to the house to get an idea, then email quote for completed job comes within days.  Wayne and MaryAnn [sic] show up on time, have all the materials they need, finish the job within agreed upon time, for the exact price that's quoted.  ... The price quoted may be a bit higher than other quotes you receive, but the quality of the work and the professionalism of the contractor makes it a true deal.  We will call them first for all future work 'around the house!'"

- Terry G., Billerica, MA

 

"I asked Wayne and Maryann to perform a multitude of little tasks (like hanging pictures and changing shelf heights in kitchen cabinets, among others). They were diligent, efficient, and worked with a sense of humor. I could not have asked for anything better. I would certainly hire them again."

- Felice K., Lowell, MA

"I have been a long time customer of Around the House.  Wayne and Maryann have been my go to couple for some challenging project that my husband could not complete!  They have done windows (arch), stairs, stair rails, stair landing (round and complicated), fixed walls and just been amazing, honest, professional and reasonably priced couple.  They are also pretty funny and very quick!
I recommend them any chance I get! "
-Kim C., Wilmington, MA

"We've been contracting with Wayne and Maryann now for many years.  Started out with small jobs which they accomplished with creativity and solid work.  The last two jobs they did included replacing the door to our garage and a complete remodeling of our family room.  It came out great!  They are extremely reliable and will tell you straight up what will and won't work.  I can't recommend them more highly."
- Doug R, Hollis, NH

"Thanks again for all the great work you did for us, I am sure it helped us sell the house as well."
-David H., Burlington, MA

“I have a handy husband, but he won't do certain things like hang new french doors, or fix a rotted window sill. I have had Maryann & Wayne do several jobs around my house and I highly recommend them for their professionalism, excellent work and fair prices. Call them!”
-Kate H., Groton, MA

"During the last several years we have had Around the House take care of a number of varied household improvements. These include painting, installing dryer duct work and kitchen cabinet sliding units, and replacing old faulty door tracks with ones of a higher quality. In every case, the projects were done in a timely fashion and we have been completely satisfied by the quality of work performed. Maryann and Wayne have an excellent work ethic and stand by what they do. They are very neat when working, from the beginning to the end of their commitment. We knew what to expect and how long it would take. They are trustworthy and want to make sure the client is pleased with the outcome of each project. We were fortunate to have them recommended to us!"
-Anna N., Tewksbury, MA

"You have really outdone yourselves this time! What an elegant solution to our caprine challenge! The work is beautiful, as always, and we really appreciate it. Thank you!"
- Melissa H., Concord, MA

"I am watching the rain pour off of the roof to the new window. And it is not even remotely close to hitting the bottom of that window! Which is exactly what I was hoping would happen!!! :) ... Got the curtains back up and I am LOVING it!! :)"
- Ann M., Tewksbury, MA

"Overall I believe the price was fair and the work of good quality, They cleaned up completely after the job was done, something other contractors we have had did not do. I'd highly recommend Around The House."
- Thomas L., North Billerica, MA

"They did an absolutely wonderful job - better than I expected and much, much better than I could have done myself. I would recommend them highly and would call them again in a heartbeat."

- Barbara W., Lowell, MA

"Wayne has performed work on our house many times over the years, always with superb results. He takes great care in his work no matter how big or small the job, provides quotes up front so that costs are never unpredictable, and is creative in finding solutions to unusual situations. I recommend him without reservation to anyone looking for work to be done on their home."

"I have had several bad experiences lately with people who have fought back or tried to charge extra to fix problems in the initial work that they performed, and it is refreshing to deal with people who don't work that way."
- Robert P., Concord, MA
