We hired Chris to add a sunroom and deck to our house. From the beginning, he was easy to contact and communicate with. We were always kept in the loop on the status of the project and his attention to detail was top notch. He even worked with us on adding a custom bar top to our deck that our neighbors can’t stop talking about! We will be reaching out to him for our next project!Read More
I hired Chris to build my detached garage. Throughout the process it was a real partnership. He was very thorough, focused on the detail, kept a clean job site and always communicated with me. The scope of the project changed along the way and Chris did a great job being creative, accommodating and very thoughtful with recommendations. Since the big project we've hired Chris to do some interior finish work along with some smaller jobs around our home and as always, the work was excellent and at a fair price. He's an honest, hardworking, good contractor and has a real talent for finish work along with an eye for detail. Overall, I could not recommend him more highly.Read More
Chris Connolly was wonderful to work with. He continually updated me on the status of scheduling my project, completed it in the timeframe as promised, and did an excellent job overall. I recommend him highly.Read More
Connolly Management Group was a pleasure to work with, as ever. They put in a stone wall at the back of my yard, and I trusted them enough to travel while they did it. Fees and expectations were crystal clear, and the finished wall is lovely.Read More
I hired Chris to do a major remodel to update my Cambridge Philly-style condo. Chris and his team did a phenomenal job, delivered the project within budget and on time, and was communicative throughout the entire process. I can't say enough good things about how this project turned out - it exceeded my expectations. The scope of my project included: open up a major structural wall, widen and improve the out-of-code stairs leading up to the "Philly" room, remove old built-in storage pieces, remove some non-structural walls, rearrange the entrances to some rooms, and a complete cosmetic update to all of the interior trim, walls, ceilings, floors, and lighting. This project was to take place over the course of 3 months in the winter, while I was temporarily relocated/moved out of my house and communicating with Chris remotely from across the country. I interviewed a lot of design-build firms to take on this job, and I hired Chris for his honesty. When I described the project goals to Chris during the initial consultation, the first thing he did was measure the distance from my floor to ceiling, before telling me that he couldn't realistically promise the staircase I had described (others simply insisted that it would be possible, no problem). The subsequent visits of his tradesmen to scope and quote the project were worth the modest price for a detailed quote (especially compared to other firms who went from "free consultation" to "multiple thousand dollar deposit to lock into a contract"). I was insistent on certain changes to the staircase, and Chris was incredibly accommodating - he modeled up a number of different solutions with calculations, in addition to communicating with the building inspector at the Cambridge office to make sure the changes would meet code far in advance. I am so glad that I trusted him to plan the stair design and do his utmost to provide me with alternatives and backup plans. I also appreciate his eye for design - he perfectly captured the modern style I wanted for this unit. His team worked every day on my condo. Chris professionally repaired every construction "surprise" that came up (a corroded pipe sprung a leak in the basement during construction, a broken key, a porch stair was damaged by a third-party - not part of Chris' crew, etc). When there were issues of paint fumes drifting to an adjacent unit (normal part of the construction process), Chris responded to my texts to resolve the issues, even though I was across the country. His attention to detail and communication made this project smooth and I felt like he dealt honestly with me where others in the construction industry have not before (I am female in my 30s). Chris' pricing is transparent and very fair for the level of service he offers. I would wholeheartedly recommend this company to anyone. It is 100% possible to have a stunning renovation done to your home while you are not in-state to micromanage the work, and to not be intimidated by the process.Read More
