<title>5-Star Review from Milene S. in Groton, MA - Jun 29, 2022</title>
<description><![CDATA[&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733; <br>Additional Comments: They were fantastic. I travel a lot for my work with my husband, and sometimes the sitter will stay with the kids. I have zero worries about not being home while they were there. They were super communicative and great. I haven't even changed the code to get into my house. I have total peace of mind with them in my house. The peace of mind I had when they were there was great. You can't put a price on that.<br>Review from Milene S.]]></description>

<title>5-Star Review from Barbara M. in Andover, MA - Apr 16, 2022</title>
<description><![CDATA[&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733; The Design work was so very inspired and contributed greatly to our high level of satisfaction with the quality of the finished product. Attention to details during construction of our new kitchen was outstanding! The scheduling of work, including that of subcontractors, was highly coordinated, leading to the project’s completion coming in earlier than promised. We highly recommend Blackdog Design Build Remodel.<br>Additional Comments: We are very pleased that Blackdog delivered everything we were expecting, and creatively addressed challenges that arose. The subcontractors exceeded our expectations in every case.<br>Review from Barbara M.]]></description>

<title>5-Star Review from Michael Z. in Lynnfield, MA - Oct 31, 2021</title>
<description><![CDATA[&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733; <br>Recognized Excellence: We think James is wonderful! He listened, he was attentive to detail, he was  skilled with what appeared (to us, of course!) to be a challenging project. He was incredibly respectful to our space and was always warm and kind to our children and looked out for our pet. It seems like that stuff doesn't matter anymore, but it went a long way with us; especially because some of our project was being completed in the midst of a medical crisis. We deeply appreciate James and the job he completed for us and really can't say enough about how much we value him and the work he did in our home. Many folks at Blackdog have been really great to work with. John worked with us over and over again on design and we always appreciated his creative and thoughtful work. It was a long road with John and he never lost his patience and kindness. Melissa helped us out many times with our kiddos when meeting and designing and kept two young boys entertained and happy. Tim was essential to make sure it all came together. We appreciate you all and thank you for your work. We are so happy with how it all turned out after a VERY long road. We met Blackdog 6 years ago and FINALLY have a completed project and we are very happy with how things turned out.<br>Review from Michael Z.]]></description>

<title>3-Star Review in Westford, MA - Oct 18, 2021</title>
<description><![CDATA[&#9733;&#9733;&#9733; Had very high expectations at the beginning that were not met, but might not be achievable by any company in the area.  Good quality work and great subcontractors.  Binder at the beginning helped ensure all expectations were met and all work got completed as designed.  Recommend checking in daily on status and schedule and using the binder as reference.<br>]]></description>

<title>5-Star Review in North Andover, MA - May 29, 2020</title>
<description><![CDATA[&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733; I would absolutely recommend them to anyone. They do great work.<br>Problem Resolution: They are spectacular.<br>Easier Than Expected: I had high expectations and they exceeded them.<br>Recognized Excellence: I would like to recognize Curt our lead contractor. He does meticulous work. I felt he really look out for us and what we needed. He was so nice to work with and made me feel very comfortable. I would also like to recognize their designer Sabina. She was wonderful to work with. She did a great job of helping us visualize how it would look when done and taking what we wanted and turning it into a vision.<br>How Can We Do Better?: I think they already did. Anything that was not quite right, they saw to it right away. They go the extra mile the whole way through.<br>]]></description>

<title>5-Star Review from Ted B. in Chester, NH - Jun 05, 2019</title>
<description><![CDATA[&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733; I must admit, our home was built in 1727 and we had a different contractor start the remodel.  For a number of reasons that did not work out.  My wife and I contacted Blackdog, and from the first contact, through the design concept, the construction itself, to the last handshake upon completion of the project, it was a pleasure to deal with all we can in contact with including subcontractors for plumbing, electric, flooring and dry wall.  We are stewards of this historic home, and Eric Hanson of Blackdog became an extension of our stewardship, caring for our home as through the remodel was his own.  I was surprised by the fastidious approach to their work with no detail to minor.We highly recommend Blackdog.  They are professional, polite, efficient, mindful of our budget and provided us an extreamly high qiuality result.<br>Review from Ted B.]]></description>

<title>1-Star Review from Barbara J. in Atkinson, NH - Mar 12, 2019</title>
<description><![CDATA[&#9733; Our experience was less than stellar. We were repeat customers as our previous Black Dog experience was terrific. This time was much different. In addition to a delayed start, there were many unacceptable issues along the way from repeated incorrect materials ordered, questionable workmanship requiring multiple reworks and the final completion ran over by several months. Our frustration level was enormous throughout the project. However, we met with the owner and although he could not change that, he did add on a small project at no charge to help compensate and we appreciated that.<br>Review from Barbara J.]]></description>

Jane Face gave us great options for design and worked within our schedule.  Tim Williams was easy to communicate with and helpful throughout the process.  And Joel Bedard was top notch.  His craftmanship and workmanship was second to none.  His work was impeccable and he was great at putting the customer first and coming up with great design solutions on the fly.  And Blackdog was very committed to meeting our timeline, knowing we were expecting a baby and wanted to project done before the baby arrived.<br>Additional Comments: Thanks for the great experience!<br>Review from Rory P.]]></description>

<title>3-Star Review from Mike T. in Arlington, MA - Jan 10, 2018</title>
<description><![CDATA[&#9733;&#9733;&#9733; We are very satisfied with the quality of our finished kitchen and bath, and pleased at how they blend in with the feel of the rest of our (older) home. However, there is no denying that despite their best efforts, our project took much longer than expected and we did not have the "Blackdog experience" promised to us. There were definitely some things that fell through the cracks as we cycled through 5 different lead carpenters over the course of the project, though they did their best to make up for it. It's not their fault that two carpenters ended up in the hospital and two got different jobs, but if they are going to promise a smooth and exceptional experience, they need to increase their depth of staffing resources. It is fortunate that we were more involved than most clients with the design details, and some additional vigilance on our part helped make up for the lack of continuity in staffing. We were pleased with the quality of the staff and subcontractors provided by Blackdog - from lead carpenters to trainees, their employees are polite, hard working, knowledgeable, and sincere. In particular, the tile workers and painters were exceptionally skilled, and we are quite pleased with our final results despite the frustrations we suffered to get here. If I had to do another remodel, I would probably use them again - but I'd say our experience has effectively cured us of any desire to remodel ever again.<br>Review from Mike T.]]></description>

<title>1-Star Review from Arianne L. in Westford, MA - Oct 09, 2015</title>
<description><![CDATA[&#9733; We had Blackdog do a substantial addition to our house.  It was behind schedule by about 3 month with no change orders on our part (10 months if you include punchlist items).  But worse than this, for larger additions they don't view your project as a whole house solution.  We had issues with our attic ventilation after completion that was due to the new addition, and when we asked if anyone on their staff had verified that the ventilation was correct, we were told there wasn't anyone on staff to do this.  They specify everything on the contract, down to the type of soffit vent they are using, but this does the customer no good if what they spec out won't work for the design.  We ended up spending an extra $5K to rectify this problem.  We expected with the extra money we were spending and the good service we received before the contract was signed, that we would at least have a sound end product.  I am sure that they are fine for a simple remodel within the existing footprint and mechanical systems if schedule is not a big concern.  The design aesthetics and finish work is really good, but honestly the hassle is not worth it.<br>Review from Arianne L.]]></description>

<title>5-Star Review from Lisa W. in Haverhill , MA - Jun 10, 2015</title>
<description><![CDATA[&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733; <br>Additional Comments: I have no complaints. One of the best parts of my experience with Black Dog was the ease of communication. Texts, emails, phone calls were always answered quickly. It was nice to be able to communicate with everyone involved via group text. All my concerns were addressed as they came up. Unexpected problems that arose were always addressed with creativity and confidence. I felt like with Black Dog, nothing was impossible. We had a fairly large remodel in which every room in my house was affected and my family and I were treated at all times with respect and genuine concern for my needs and expectations. Ideas and suggestions - lighting ideas, built-ins, etc - were made whenever possible and the end result was a remodel that went above my expectations and added to my overall satisfaction. Also Tim and Dave were very kind and understanding as my circumstances were more difficult as the remodel was being done so my father in law with Alzeimhers could move in with us. The stress of caring for an elderly parent at the same time as my home was being remodeled in the middle of a brutal winter overwhelmed me at times. But Tim and Dave took it in stride and were very understanding and went out of their way to alleviate the stress as best the could. Their concern really was apparent and I couldn't be more pleased with every interaction I had with the team at black dog. Quickly too I would like to mention Jane who came up with wonderful design ideas and she intuitively knew exactly what I was looking to build. Thank you!<br>Review from Lisa W.]]></description>

<title>5-Star Review from Martha B. in Pelham, NH - Nov 09, 2014</title>
<description><![CDATA[&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733; This was my first major remodeling job where I was the sole decision maker, and I was nervous about finding a contractor I could trust.  When I started working with the folks at Black Dog, I knew I had found the right company.  They took care of everything from start to finish, and I am very happy with the outcome.  Jane, my designer, did a great job making the most of my small space, and all the workmen were very polite, efficient and mindful of my comfort and that of my cats.  I would definitely recommend Black Dog to anyone planning to remodel.<br>Employees & Subcontractors: All the guys were very nice and very good with my pets!<br>Recognized Excellence: They all did a wonderful job, but Jim Bechard in particular was terrific at handling whatever issues came up and letting me know what to expect.  He did a first rate job.<br>Additional Comments: Thanks much to one and all.  Am loving my new bathroom!<br>Review from Martha B.]]></description>

<title>4-Star Review from David A. in Tyngsboro, MA - Nov 07, 2014</title>
<description><![CDATA[&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733; I am very pleased with the overall quality, materials, and the finished product. I have a beautiful kitchen and bathroom. The timeline was way off though. There were far too many days no one was here working which put the end date over a month late. There were also too many change orders with small ticket items that should have been taken care of without an argument. Overall though, I would recommend them.<br>Review from David A.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ <br>Recognized Excellence: We liked our experience with all Blackdog personnel, but Joel really stood out.  He was very personable, fantastic at his job and very creative when issues would crop up, especially since the issues were generally a result of us changing our minds.  :)<br>]]></description>

<title>Review in Hollis, NH - Feb 03, 2014</title>
<description><![CDATA[ <br>Recognized Excellence: Janice Gage did an excellent job designing and coordinating our re-model.  She is highly professional, an excellent communicator and very timely in all correspondences.  She gives useful feed-back and suggestions; and because she is an excellent listener, she was able to design exactly what we had in mind!Jody also did an excellent job.  He was very professional, courteous, and always treated our house like a home, and not a constructions site -- something very much appreciated.<br>]]></description>
