<title>5-Star Review from Meryl F. in Arlington, MA - Feb 02, 2026</title>
<description><![CDATA[&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733; This was actually our 5th project with Feinmann.  Given our previous experience, we expected that we would be very happy with the design and execution.  In fact that was again the case.  We wanted an outdoor Finnish sauna and a rennovated basement gym.  The design and results were superb and we are enjoying both.<br>Feinmann: We were very happy with the previous 5 projects we have done with them!<br>Review from Meryl F.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733; Feinmann is full of people who are easy to work with and communicate with, who understand what we're going for and empathize with our concerns, who follow up, and who we trust to do the right thing by us.<br>Review from Claire S.]]></description>

<title>4-Star Review from Jenny M. in Arlington, MA - Jan 23, 2025</title>
<description><![CDATA[&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733; Feinmann provides a very high-touch, high-end renovation. They are an excellent choice if you are looking for a subzero fridge and highly customized cabinetry. They are organized, on-time, professional and detailed. They worked around our busy schedules both during the design and the execution phases of our project. My only caution to recommend them is that perhaps there are less expensive ways to get to a satisfactory solution.<br>Review from Jenny M.]]></description>

<title>5-Star Review from Eliza M. in Winchester, MA - Dec 06, 2024</title>
<description><![CDATA[&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733; Yes.  Feinmann did an amazing job and made our house a beautiful home that fits our needs.  We love it.<br>Responsive Design: The design was great.  Fit our vision and needs.  Added things we didn't think of while listening to us and our ideas every step of the way.<br>Professional & Organized: Always professional and organized.<br>Construction Quality: Amazing Quality.  Everything is done with top notch workmanship.<br>Schedule: They were on time!  Amazing work to be done on schedule even with our late additions.<br>Budget: We went over our initial budget but mostly because we added on additional things.  Not the fault of Feinmann.<br>Communication: Excellent communication.  Greg would present a word document each week that was very helpful.  Would love more clarity on the additional costs for extras upfront but overall all was done well and professionally.<br>Clean & Safe: Our neighbors commented on how clean and respectful the crew was.<br>Recognized Excellence: Joe did amazing work with the design, Greg was always available for communication and Andy did amazing work on site.  The whole team was always a joy to work with.<br>Review from Eliza M.]]></description>

<title>5-Star Review in Cambridge, MA - Dec 04, 2023</title>
<description><![CDATA[&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733; <br>Recognized Excellence: Ryan Pirro and Mike Mayer were exceptional, both in terms of communication and attention to detail. Flavio worked on the renovation for only a short time, but I value what he added to the project.<br>Feinmann: I had confidence that Feinmann would deliver a well-managed and high quality construction process, use sub-contractors that do exceptional work and would be able to craft the many details on the project that were important to me.<br>Additional Comments: Ryan and Mike were a great team, and we really appreciate how easy they were to work with, how well they managed the process, and their willingness to think through the details of the design. We've had numerous guests see the completed renovation this fall, and all have been impressed with not only the overall transformation of the space but also with how the details of the project were crafted - such as the flush outlets at the island or the custom hood which looks great and aligns with a grout joint or the refrigerator cabinet (Thanks Mike!), to name just a few.<br>]]></description>

<title>Review in Lexington, MA - Aug 31, 2023</title>
<description><![CDATA[ <br>Satisfaction: Bob MacDonald has been a pleasure to work with. He has been great at communicating project process and helping make critical project decisions. No question or topic is too big or small for his consideration. He has made himself available and has helped us navigate the process. I appreciate all of his efforts. He and the Feinmann team are appreciated!!<br>]]></description>

<title>5-Star Review from Heather E. in Newton, MA - Aug 17, 2023</title>
<description><![CDATA[&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733; I am thrilled with the results of my multi-room renovation. My project manager was extremely knowledgeable with a good design sense and detail orientation. Her customer service was exceptional. I trusted that she always had my best interest in mind. Cost-related issues were handled in a very fair and balanced manner. Using the "new" rooms for a few months has reaffirmed Feinmann's competencies in design, planning and construction. I would work with them again in a heartbeat and have no reservations about recommending the firm.<br>Problem Resolution: I really appreciated the lack of defensiveness when I pointed out a problem, simply acceptance and a plan for resolving it.<br>Review from Heather E.]]></description>

<title>5-Star Review from Yi Z. in Belmont, MA - Oct 01, 2022</title>
<description><![CDATA[&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733; <br>Overall Experience: This project is a major to the studs redo (including structure change) of a major part of the first floor while we continue to live in the rest of the house. From the outset Feinmann’s design team took time to understand how everyone in the house is using the space and the design and finished product truly reflect that effort. They come up with smart solution to maximize counter space while hiding small appliances, which wows without fail every time we have guest in my house as they have never seen anything like it. 

The construction team took to heart the fact we are occupying the house and from the outset planned and built a makeshift kitchen and dining room. The construction was cleaned up every evening with minimal intrusion to our lives. I also appreciate their philosophy of not working over weekends. It shows respect to their employee and customer’s lives, and it is evident from talking to Feinmann employees they love working for the company. Ultimately we are very happy with this project that was managed to completion (slightly ahead of schedule) with minimal intrusion to our busy lives with young kids in the house. Every inch of the new space is how we imagined we would like to use it. Thank you Feinmann.<br>Recognized Excellence: I thank Luiz for his master carpentry. Everyday I am using the space I am reminded of his attention to detail and precision craftsmanship. I thank Greg for getting the pieces moving on schedule, constantly having to schedule multiple crews to interact by one day and they do show up as scheduled and complete the task like a jigsaw puzzle.<br>Review from Yi Z.]]></description>

<title>5-Star Review from Sara D. - Sep 27, 2022</title>
<description><![CDATA[&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733; If someone is looking for a high quality renovation or project with high quality finishes AND is ok with a higher price tag, then I give it a 5 star review. If it is someone who is looking for something inexpensive and mediocre, then I would not recommend Feinmann Inc as this personal service and time and quality come with a bigger price tag.<br>Expertise: Tammy and Greg make a good pair. Greg is skilled at keeping everything moving in the right direction and staying on contractors and inspectors to make it happen. We didn't always see eye-to-eye design-wise, but that is where Tammy helped out a lot and helped get everyone there.<br>Clean & Safe: Thank you for making the barriers such that our cats could not escape. This was much appreciated as the cats are very important to us!<br>Recognized Excellence: Tammy, Greg and AnD were excellent complementary team! And AnD - he is an amazing carpenter and always friendly and hardworking. He was very patient with solving problems - for example, the door trim between the kitchen and the living room - it was a tough problem to solve but he did it well!<br>Review from Sara D.]]></description>

<title>5-Star Review from Sarah P. in Belmont, MA - Jul 18, 2022</title>
<description><![CDATA[&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733; Overall, we were extremely pleased with the bathroom renovation job that Feinmann did.<br>Responsive Design: I was glad for the help with several design issues, like whether to keep a bathtub, and with special requests.<br>Design Center & Selections: High quality selections, expert advice.<br>Professional & Organized: Meetings, billing, ordering, response to requests - everything was very professional, always organized.<br>Construction Quality: Everything was the highest quality.  The vanity construction, and Charlie's carpentry were especially good.<br>Schedule: Agreed upon schedule was 3-4 months.  The project took exactly 5 months, but some of the delay was due to (1) a grout leakage problem, and (2) our additional orders (painting & refinishing).<br>Communication: Always prompt responses.<br>Problem Resolution: Biggest problem was the leakage of dark-colored grout into the white crackle-glazed tiles.  No one expected this.  We were impressed with the attempts to fix the stains.  When nothing worked, the white tiles were replaced.  Excellent work.<br>Value: It wasn't cheap, but the job was so well done and the materials quality so good, that it was indeed value for money.<br>Recognized Excellence: Matt Soraghan was great!  He was always responsive, patient, and knowledgeable.  It was a pleasure to work with him.  Also, special kudos to Charlie (the carpenter) who did superior work, and was fun to have around.<br>Review from Sarah P.]]></description>

<title>5-Star Review - Jun 17, 2022</title>
<description><![CDATA[&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733; I would say the process is expensive but you get the expertise you pay for and you can know that you’ll get it done right.<br>Problem Resolution: Once we began the contract, whenever there was a problem I felt that Ryan was a great advocate for us within Feinmann and between us and any subcontractors with whom we had trouble.<br>Recognized Excellence: Ryan and Kevin are simply fantastic. Please pay them more. Whenever any part of this process ran into snags, whether they were initially involved in that part or not, one or both of those two figured out (sometimes over multiple attempts) a way to fix it and make it work.<br>]]></description>

<title>5-Star Review from Andrew H. in Lexington, MA - Mar 07, 2022</title>
<description><![CDATA[&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733; From the design process through to the finished work, the experience was excellent. The design team did a great job of finding out and designing what we really needed rather than designing to what we thought we needed. The building process was smooth, of good quality and very well project managed - we always knew where we stood with respect to progress and timelines. The finished spaces have tranformed our home.<br>Review from Andrew H.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733; All we can say is, look no further than Feinmann.<br>Additional Comments: Feinmann is the gold standard. Between working and moving out of a house during COVID, the one thing I never had to worry about was how my new residence was coming along. They know every detail about how it’s done.  No challenge was too big. The team was phenomenal. One of the best decisions I have made was choosing them.<br>]]></description>

<title>5-Star Review from Esin S. in Chestnut Hill, MA - Apr 29, 2021</title>
<description><![CDATA[&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733; I highly recommend the Feynman team. Having one team take responsibility from design through build is very seamless and efficient. During the construction phase, Greg and Michael worked so well together and addressed all our questions/concerns in a timely and practical manner. We only have the good memories to share about everyone we worked with.<br>Expertise: Definetely!<br>Professional & Organized: Communication and adherence to the expected timeline were superb<br>Budget: Greg was very professional and upfront about cost/quality tradeoffs. We felt very comfortable to discuss with him about the options and trusted his judgement.<br>Communication: Our whole team was professional, timely, and effective communicators.<br>Problem Resolution: We had a few issues that needed attention and assistance. Both Greg and Michael were amazing. Michael consistently did a superb job in explaining the process & pros/cons and giving us different options. He is a very talented and precise carpenter and it was a pleasure to work with him on a daily basis.<br>Clean & Safe: Very clean!<br>Overall Experience: The entire team are quality professionals and our new space speaks for itself. They did a wonderful job and made us feel very much at ease during the whole process. We will highly recommend them for sure.<br>Easier Than Expected: We practically lived with the Feinmann team for 6 months! Michael on a daily basis made sure we were safe and comfortable by setting out the expectations and dealing with all the subcontractors.<br>Customer Suggestion: During the build phase there were a couple decisions that were made without consulting fully with us - because they were standard practices in New England. For example the risers here are usually painted and hence a lower grade wood is used. However, we thought they were going to be oak and that we will stain them.<br>Review from Esin S.]]></description>

<title>5-Star Review from Ruchi N. in Sudbury, MA - Aug 02, 2020</title>
<description><![CDATA[&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733; <br>Schedule: Despite the onset of COVID restrictions after the start of our project, Feinmann completed our project close to the agreed upon schedule. Everyone at Feinmann was well organized and proactive in maintaining worker and client safety without sacrificing their high standards and commitment to quality.<br>Problem Resolution: We had several unforeseen issues come up during the course of our project and Feinmann resolved them with innovative design ideas and diligence.<br>Employees & Subcontractors: We were thoroughly pleased with everyone on the Feinmann team the majority of the subcontractors. Ultimately Feinmann to great pride and responsibility for the work being done, whether it be by their team or by subcontractors.<br>Value: The cost was money well spent for added peace of mind.<br>Overall Experience: This is our second renovation project with Feinmann and we couldn't be happier with the outcome. More importantly we trust them to provide a great design and deliver on the work promised.<br>Easier Than Expected: This was a complicated renovation and Feinmann handled the complexities (including COVID restrictions) and any adjustments to the timeline, budget and design in a transparent and collaborative way. We would work with them again in a heartbeat!<br>Satisfaction: Feinmann has done a truly excellent job at navigating all the rules and regulations with COVID and still doing beautiful work while moving our project along.<br>Additional Comments: This is our second project with Feinmann and we chose them because we already knew that they were a pleasure to work with, their work is beautiful and durable and they would make our challenging project work. The COVID pandemic started after our project was already initiated and Feinmann met the challenge of continuing to work on our project while ensuring the safety of their team and our family. In addition the work that they have done, their attention to detail and their ability to meet the challenges inherent in any build/renovation project (even in non-COVID times) is impressive. We couldn't be happier with how our project is turning out and we are grateful for Tammy, Eric, Kyle, Andy, Barney and Peter and everyone else on the Feinmann team for making it happen.<br>Review from Ruchi N.]]></description>

Kevin - who has been finishing up punch list items. He always prompt, cleans up, asks appropriate questions, listens and makes sure I'm happy before he leaves.

<title>5-Star Review from Jacinthe G. in Lexington, MA - Jan 11, 2020</title>
<description><![CDATA[&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733; <br>Feinmann: Finding a local company to support the community was one element of our choice. Experience with Historical district regulation in Lexington a close second and of course, the overall styles of prior projects published and on their website was a great match with our preferred overall style. Price was steep, but the overall professionalism did match it.<br>Review from Jacinthe G.]]></description>

<title>5-Star Review from Alyssa Y. in Lexington, MA - Nov 13, 2019</title>
<description><![CDATA[&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733; Yes, we have recommended Feinmann to several people already. One family has a project in the works with Feinmann.<br>Responsive Design: We love the renovation.<br>Recognized Excellence: Greg and Phil. They both very much respected our space and family which was so important to us because we lived through the renovation. Phil's carpentry work is beautiful and our home was left very clean every day. Phil also came up with creative solutions to solve problems and gave us options to choose from. Greg kept us on track, was always prepared for our meetings with an agenda and project details, had the difficult conversations with subs, and we felt he had our back throughout the process. He noticed when we were not thrilled with a particular element (e.g. our backsplash) and personally came with us to a tile store to help us make the right decision. Another example is when we felt our island was too long (a point that we questioned during the design phase). Thankfully, Greg and Phil responded and addressed this immediately. Kevin did a beautiful job on the stair railings. Tammy was not technically assigned to our project, but was always willing to help when we needed her to provide guidance on the finishing touches. We very much appreciated her time. Tiago (electrician) did great work, cared about the project, and was great with our kids.<br>Feinmann: Reputation in the community. We felt Feinmann understood our problem during our initial meeting. The initial meeting made a big difference for us and knowing that a solution could be achieved within our budget.<br>Review from Alyssa Y.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733; We’ve already done so.<br>Recognized Excellence: Tammy was truly excellent.  Kevin’s trim work was also great.<br>Feinmann: Hunter’s coworker John Strand recommended, and when we compared the designs of Feinmann and another option, Feinmann’s designs seemed more complete and thought out in all details.<br>Additional Comments: Overall we’re very happy with the home.  Feinmann helped us include lots of storage and almost no details are badly thought out.  The master bedroom and bathroom are both truly impressive and Feinmann really did a great job of incorporating our ideas into an effective, beautiful design.<br>Review from C.H.B.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733; <br>Responsive Design: Thoughtfully iterated with us to identify practical sulutions to address the areas we wanted to enhance our home.<br>Professional & Organized: Professional and responsive team, particularly our project manager and lead carpenter.<br>Budget: We had very open dialogue as scope details were worked out in the field and throughout the job.  We were on budget and I felt very clear regarding any change orders decisions.<br>Recognized Excellence: Greg and Phil — PM and lead carpenter.  They were a pleasure to work with. They were willing to listen, but were also honest (they didn’t just tell us what we wanted to hear).  They helped us navigate the project, having never been through work of this magnitude.<br>Feinmann: Reputation, portfolio/experience.   We felt confident that would do the job well and comprehensively after the on-site meetings.<br>Review from Dean P.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733; This is the second time we've used Feinmann Inc., and we've always found the company and the work product to be of the highest quality!<br>Construction Quality: 4+The work was top quality and my wife, and I greatly appreciate the top quality craftsmanship that the Feinmann team brings to the job. <br>Communication: Ryan, our project manager was especially helpful setting up weekly meetings to review the project as well as being available by phone or text. Overall communication on the project was excellent! <br>Problem Resolution: We came across a couple of problems in the middle of the project that were unforeseen. The Feinmann team brought in other folks to propose workarounds which were successful.<br>Recognized Excellence: I would like to recognize Ryan, Barney Maier, and Charlie for their exceptional service. Barney was really able to connect with my wife to envision what the end product would look like.<br>Review from Ed N.]]></description>

<title>5-Star Review from Mark C. in Arlington, MA - Jan 26, 2019</title>
<description><![CDATA[&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733; <br>Recognized Excellence: Ryan Pirro was an excellent project manager who chased items down and made everything happen on time.  Kevin, our carpenter, did an amazing job and gave us the kitchen I have always wanted.  Barney, the architect, turned our house into exactly what we wanted.  I cannot thank them enough for giving us the house we imagined when we bought a "house with good bones" 16 years ago.  My husband and I were watching a show in which lottery winners find their dream home, and decided that even if we did win the lottery allowing us to buy a bigger house, we would want to stay in our current house because we now love it so much.  Thank you!<br>Feinmann: We had worked with them 9 years ago for a second-floor renovation and been impressed with both the solution they came up with and the quality of their work.  After hearing numerous horror stories of renovations delayed due to poor general contracting management, we decided to stay with them because we knew they would do their best to avoid situations resulting in significant delays and cost overruns.<br>Additional Comments: Feinmann has done a tremendous job to date.  The project is well managed and quality of the work is top notch.  They have been a strong advocate with sub-contractors, keeping the costs within what we originally agreed to.<br>Review from Mark C.]]></description>

<title>5-Star Review from Phil C. in Newton, MA - Dec 22, 2018</title>
<description><![CDATA[&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733; And we have done so already!<br>Responsive Design: We love the function of our new home--fits what we wanted perfectly.<br>Design Center & Selections: There were some challenges for us in managing the selections process around fixtures, as we felt there were very few options that fit within our allowances, and some hiccups in communication with the store that we were using for these. We appreciated the lengths that Feinmann went to however in mitigating some of these hiccups and working with us to make the process smoother.<br>Budget: We ended up over budget, but almost entirely from issues that arose during construction that would have been difficult to anticipate. We very much appreciated the way that these overages were managed by the Feinmann team, how issues were communicated, and in some cases how the expenses were shared. I felt that Ryan and others were managing the project as if it was their home, and this engendered a huge amount of trust when problems (rarely) arose.<br>Problem Resolution: a real area of strength of the Feinmann team, and this helped us have a high level of comfort and trust throughout the project.<br>Employees & Subcontractors: When neighbors grab us to rave about the behavior of subcontractors, you know that you have picked a great company<br>Overall Experience: At the end of the day, the process for a gut renovation of our home was smooth and as minimally stressful as possible<br>Recognized Excellence: Ryan Pirro was a fantastic, professional and dedicated PM that we really can't say enough good things about. We had a great experience with conceptual design (John, Peter) and Kevin and Erin did a great job on our carpentry in the home that I know we will appreciate for years to come.<br>Additional Comments: We really appreciate the professionalism and attention to detail that the entire team has shown as we have moved forward with our project. When small problems have surfaced on the project--which they always do on jobs like this--I've been impressed with how proactive that the team has been in addressing them and that gives us a lot of confidence and trust in the team.<br>Additional Comments: Pleasure working with such a professional, accountable team. This process has been smooth and issues that have come up are taken care of in a fair, transparent way. Very happy with the progress on this project.<br>Review from Phil C.]]></description>

<title>Review in Weston, MA - Nov 03, 2018</title>
<description><![CDATA[ <br>Recognized Excellence: Our team of Tammy, Lori and Phil were phenomenal.  They were attentive to details, listened to our needs, had great ideas and proactively resolved any issue or problem that came up.  In particular:, Tammy has a great eye for detail and was always ready to step in and make things right where needed. Lori was a great collaborator, had great ideas, was very good at understanding and playing to our style and was willing to work within our work schedules.  Phil is not only a great wood worker, but has a great sense of the possible and brought forward really good design refinements throughout the project.  Overall, this team really worked as a team and we felt true collaboration and ownership in our project.  We expect to do additional projects with Feinmann and will be asking to have the same team assigned to us.<br>Feinmann: We spoke to a number of design/build firms and liked Feinmann's approach and were reassured by the positive reviews that they had received.<br>]]></description>

<title>5-Star Review from Barry H. in Newton, MA - Oct 10, 2018</title>
<description><![CDATA[&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733; We are very happy with the experience we had with Feinmann in what was a pretty extensive remodel.  First of all, their design team - particularly Barney - truly developed a great vision for the house, beyond what we had imagined.  Through the remodel, which by its nature is an arduous process (living without a kitchen for a while), the Feinmann team was very collaborative and supportive - and the results have truly transformed our house.  We're extremely happy with the outcome.<br>Easier Than Expected: We had expected it to be easy - as we viewed management as one of the key strengths Feinmann touts.  And on a few occasions, it was not quite as easy as we expected - but the fair answer here is that in total, they were great to work with ... <br>Feinmann: We had used them for another project 20 years ago - at that time on the recommendation of a friend whose judgement we trusted...  For that project, we didn't use the design services as much ... this time we decided to use both design and build - and we were happy with that coordinated effort.<br>Additional Comments: Like any long project, there were some ups and downs, and some periods of frustration - but overall, given the complexity and scale of the job, it was well managed.  We enjoyed interacting with all the people who came through our home on the project, so that helped.  And when some initial plan ideas turned out not to work out as expected, Feinmann worked with us to adjust and make it right.  We do feel that they stand by their word and resolved every issue that arose.  We are very pleased with the outcome and are truly enjoying our "new" home.<br>Review from Barry H.]]></description>

<title>5-Star Review from Erin T. in Arlington, MA - Jul 28, 2018</title>
<description><![CDATA[&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733; We added a new room to our single-family home and remodeled another small room.  Feinmann provided us with a variety of design options for a challenging space - an older, small home on a small lot, variances required, etc - as well as many potential construction schedule options, and were patient while we deliberated the options and worked out our financing in order to make the best decision.  During the construction phase they took care to evaluate, accommodate, and where they could, remediate the construction work done before we owned the home.  Our project schedule extended from fall through a very, very cold winter, but the dedicated crew worked through snow and freezing temperatures to stay on track.  They did lots of little "extras" for us as well.  I imagine we were a relatively small and less interesting project for Feinmann, given their portfolio - but even if that was true, you wouldn't have known it from the care and attention paid to our remodeling needs.  Thanks for helping us make some very necessary changes and love our home even more!<br>Recognized Excellence: Chris (lead carpenter) was amazing.  He took time to explain everything he was finding & fixing & building and was extraordinarily courteous and respectful of us and everyone on the site.  We learned a ton from him.<br>Customer Suggestion: I think continuing some kind of regular status meeting through to the very end of the project would be a positive change.  We had a decent punch list when our regular meetings stopped, albeit of small things, and it was not always clear when things would be completed or who owned the next step.  Having a regular opportunity to meet for questions/clarifications/etc until the very end would take some of the angst out of getting those final final tasks completed, on all sides (Feinmann, contractors, clients).<br>Feinmann: Quality of work given projects represented on the website & reviews we found online, responsiveness to our initial inquiry, and feeling that Feinmann took our project seriously even though we weren't doing a major remodel.<br>Additional Comments: I don't know how we lived comfortably without the new home office... boggles my mind every time I use it, and remember that it used to be in our bedroom...!  Thank you very much for working with us.<br>Review from Erin T.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733; Feinmann is a truly professional organization. From the first meeting to the final details, everyone was a pleasure to work with and did a thoroughly perfect job. I couldn't be happier!<br>Likely To Recommend: Definitely. I have recommend Feinmann a number of times already to many others.

Feinmann is a truly professional organization. From the first meeting to the final details, everyone was a pleasure to work with and did a thoroughly perfect job. I couldn't be happier!<br>Recognized Excellence: Basically everyone! From meeting with Peter Feinmann initially to every subcontractor! But obviously I have to give the loudest shout out to An D as the most amazing head carpenter and Ryan Pirro as the best project manager!<br>Additional Comments: Feinmann does an excellent job in every way. I have loved all the renderings and now that the room has begun to be built, the crew is very hard-working and cordial. My project manager is outstanding, going above and beyond his job and is responsive and well informed on every part of the process.<br>Additional Comments: I couldn't possibly be any more satisfied with how Feinmann executed my project from beginning to end. They use top-notch folks for all aspects of the work from electrician to plumber, master carpenter to project manager. Everyone came when they said they would, did what they were supposed to and were delightful to deal with. The BEST!!<br>Review from Stephanie M.]]></description>

<title>5-Star Review from Meryl F. in Arlington, MA - Jul 15, 2018</title>
<description><![CDATA[&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733; We had previously used Feinmann for a renovation of our 1st floor and kitchen.  That was 5 years ago and we still are praising and enjoying the work every day.  When we decided to redo our exterior deck, Feinmann was our first choice. The design was excellent as well as the execution.  When we hit some design challenges along the way,  Feinmann's lead carpenter solved them.  We had a strict deadline for the project, since we had planned to celebrate our daughter's college graduation with a party that included the deck.  Feinmann met that deadline and we had a memorable occasion!  We now have had the deck for two months.  We enjoy it for almost every meal over the weekend and often during the week.  It adds an extra room to the house which we thoroughly enjoy.<br>Schedule: Keeping to the agreed upon schedule was particularly important since we were planning on using our new expanded deck to host a college graduation party. Fienmann finished on time and we had a great event using the renovated porch. <br>Recognized Excellence: Chris Gonzales as lead carpenter did a great job. His quality was top notch and when we had a few design issues to work through with the planters and the bench he came through.<br>Feinmann: Feinmann had done our kitchen and 1st floor and we are still enjoying that work 5 years later.<br>Additional Comments: The design and execution was perfect.  We had a strict deadline for a graduation party.  They finished a week ahead of that.<br>Review from Meryl F.]]></description>

<title>5-Star Review from Rena K. in Cambridge, MA - Jul 11, 2018</title>
<description><![CDATA[&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733; we chose feinmann because of, well, peter feinmann. we loved having him, and his entire team in our home. which, they treated like their own, the entire time they were in it. the work they did is all over-the-top gorgeous. they coached us to select products and finishes that will last a life time (and through our toddler), and the craftsmanship with which it was all executed certainly will hold up to time, too. i admire daily the integration of existing and new, and regret only that in time i'll likely forget which is which. feinmann's team are masterful at what they do. and kind, and polite, and responsible, and responsive. i really can't say enough nice things about them, and their work.<br>Additional Comments: super satisfied. you guys deliver amazing work, with a lot of really nice customer service. i was reflecting with a friend on the process so far and explaining that i'm so so so happy with the services you are providing, and how you're dealing with everything that has arisen (unexpectedly or not). i'm not sure if i've already written this, so apologies if it's a repeat, but: i also really like how aligned your team is. you all clearly respect each other's skills and expertise and work to highlight them with your customers.<br>Additional Comments: Your collective attention to detail is mightily impressive. An example: the tiler finished adding a bit more tile over the weekend, and --if possible-- our bathroom looks even better! Your sub contractor was really patient and pleasant with each iteration, and he and Kris had a great working relationship. But, the reasoning and solutioning behind adding a bit more tile around the tub was brilliant, and something I never would've thought of (either the concern or the solution). A small example of your architecture/design/build brilliance!<br>Review from Rena K.]]></description>

Kris was kind enough to lock up our house after he finished up work while we took off for the holidays. Greg helped us figure out we had some room behind a wall to keep the TV and network cables and such hidden away, which gave us a much cleaner look around the TV. That was a great idea! We appreciated that Barney Maier and Elvin Zayas-Lai continued to provide some advice way after the design phase, even though we didn't always take their advice.<br>Review from Carrisa C.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ <br>Additional Comments: Wonderful team. Great attention to detail. Kris is very aware of the challenges of homeowners living through a renovation and goes out of his way to ensure our comfort and safety as well as keeping the project moving forward smoothly. Lori's attention to the multitude of finer details is both impressive and very much appreciated. The Masons did masterful work with the brick---they closed up a doorway. Anyone unfamiliar with the house would never notice a door had existed there---that said, we're thrilled that phase of the project is complete:)<br>]]></description>

<title>4-Star Review from Lorraine G. in Newton, MA - Dec 08, 2017</title>
<description><![CDATA[&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733; The Feinmann team did a major renovation and reconfiguration of our entire second floor.  The project presented a challenge due not only to the age of the house (120 years) but also to the unusual configuration of the rooms, doorways, and hall.  We are so happy that we finally did this renovation and cannot believe we lived with the tiny master closet and horrible master bath for close to 30 years.  We were worried about the massive disruption of such a project while we were living in the house.  The lead carpenter, Dave, was fantastic and very competent.  He was very careful to seal off the renovation space and keep the area contained.  He was also very careful to clean up constantly and to oversee subcontractors so that no damage was done to other parts of our house.  The project was well managed with weekly progress meetings, keeping us fully informed for the duration<br>Review from Lorraine G.]]></description>

<title>5-Star Review from Pat M. in Boston, MA - Nov 21, 2017</title>
<description><![CDATA[&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733; Feinmann Inc. remodeled our bathroom in the South End: gutting the entire bathroom, converting a tank water heater to tankless, adding a shower, and re-routing HVAC lines.  We couldn't be happier with the end product and with the team. They were on budget, on time and the product quality was top-notch.  While they aren't the cheapest, I never had to worry about the management of the project, nor the quality of the end product. They promptly addressed any issues that we had, and worked to ensure we had a clean home, while they worked - this was especially important as my wife was pregnant at the time.  I can't say enough positive things about this team!<br>Design Center & Selections: Elvin, Kris and Kyle had great chemistry and a design centric mindset.  Elvin from a look and feel and user interaction, and Kyle and Kris from a user interaction and implementation perspectIve.  We were very pleased with the color schemes and hardware recommendations that Elvin made, and from the implementation recommendations that Kris and Kyle made, e.g. Side for shower door to swing open on, placement of towel rack, etc.<br>Employees & Subcontractors: Kris Bedder did a fantastic job at keeping the site clean, with executing to the design, and with addressing any concerns that we had.  He was knowledgeable and very pleasant.  I can't say enough good things about him, and would use Feinmann again just to ensure that Kris is working on out project.<br>Review from Pat M.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733; We have used Feinmann on several occasions and they have always had an appropriate design solution. They brought us interesting ideas, some which we have taken and some we haven't. The people have always been good to deal with and their work has been good. Whenever a problem arises, they have worked well to overcome them. We would definitely go back!<br>Recognized Excellence: Dave, the lead carpenter, I thought was always on top of the job and worked to identify some solutions when we had some issues come up. I would be thrilled to see him back again. The other two key players were fine.<br>How Can We Do Better?: They have their system down pretty well. The people are there, they communicate well, they're good a following up on the job. Having contractors around is a pain in the neck and they have gone to pretty great lengths to make that process as painless as can be. I don't immediately know what they could to do make my life better.<br>Feinmann: We have a long term relationship and they were the only people we called.<br>Review from Everett S.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733; The design innovations -- a small window here, a built-in cabinet there, a particular floor tile, a lighting choice --  went beyond anything we would have thought of ourselves, and made the difference between just building an addition and a bringing transformative look to our house.  Many of the design touches were small but they beautifully bridged the new remodel with the rest of our home.<br>Recognized Excellence: I want to recognize pretty much everyone we dealt with -- Barney, who designed in a window; Steve Prittie who kept a lookout for homeowner maintenance things we needed to take care of and really "got us" and our style and made many extremely good design innovations, and he was a great communicator; the original Chris who salvaged a door that vastly improved our garden shed; the finishing carpenter Kris Beder who made so many wonky things look perfect in the house and who felt at all times like an advocate for us regarding the quality of the work and who is also an excellent communicator; Lauren who stepped in to manage the problems created by poor planning from the fence company.<br>Review from Karrie P.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733; We love our new space! We decided to move out while the work was being done (kitchen, mud area, powder room, master bath.) We have dogs and I have dust allergies so it was easier for us. Feinmann stayed on budget and let us know our options. We decided to spend a little more in certain areas, but there were no budget surprises. Toward the end it does feel as though the finish work and punch list items take a bit longer, but in reality Feinmann was very responsive and any small thing was addressed in a timely manner. They never make you feel like you are being a pain!  E.g., any big project has tweaks at the end -- a cabinet door adjustment or light fixture. The work crew picked up after themselves and the house was given a top to bottom cleaning. I feel like the money we spent was well worth it and the project managed appropriately. We had weekly meetings to go over completed items with the project manager, which we really appreciated.<br>Review from Cara W.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733; We contracted with Feinmann to finish our basement.  This turned out to be a more involved project than expected because the low ceiling height required reworking many of the mechanicals.  Kyle and Paul were very skilled and effective at moving us through those issues and getting to an excellent design and result.  I felt that the process was highly transparent.  It is harder to comment on cost; in this process, one is basically committed to the vendor before the full cost is known, so one can't easily shop for competitive bids but rather is trusting Feinmann to extract good value from the subcontractors.  I did think that the level of service was very high, including on unexpected twists.  So I certainly would recommend Feinmann.<br>Review from Dan E.]]></description>

<title>5-Star Review from Neil F. in Lexington, MA - Sep 13, 2014</title>
<description><![CDATA[&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733; We were very pleased with the quality of Feinmann's work and their ability to develop creative solutions to meet our needs.  We are enjoying meals in our new eating area and the light that streams in through the beautiful large windows surrounding our dining table. We also gained space in the kitchen from a redesigned pantry and kitchen island. And the entire family, including our dog, loves the new deck.<br>Review from Neil F.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733; I am very happy with my kitchen and bath renovation by Feinmann. The team was incredibly professional and responsive to my needs. No detail was overlooked. Everyone was reliable and really cared to make sure that the project turned out the way I wanted. The daily on-site carpenter was incredibly personable, neat, clean and organized. All the subs were skilled, reliable and long term colleagues of Feinmann. The work was overseen weekly by a friendly and dedicated project manager. I would definitely use Feinmann Inc again and I highly recommend them to anyone who wants a trustworthy group who will have your best interests at heart.<br>Review from Lisa F.]]></description>

<title>Review in Carlisle, MA - Aug 15, 2014</title>
<description><![CDATA[ <br>Problem Resolution: A lot of little problems came up during the project and they were all corrected to our satisfaction.  The temporary kitchen was indespensable.  Not sure how we would have managed without it.  Also, the drawer directly under the cooktop initially didn't open because it was hitting on the underpart of the cooktop.  Initially, Kevin and Kyle weren't sure if they were going to be able to make the drawer operational but they did by modifying the sides and back of the drawer.  It seems like a small thing, but we love that we can use that drawer for storing cooking utensils.  It's extremely convenient and one of the many things we love about the kitchen.  Kevin did such a great job modifying the drawer, it looks like it came from the factory that way.<br>Recognized Excellence: Peter for taking the time to understand the design of the house and how we used the space so that Feinmann could design a kitchen that fit in with the design of the rest of our house and met our daily needs.  Barney for his eye for design.  Kyle for being so easy to work with and for quickly fixing the things that we weren't happy with.  Kevin for his workmanship and attention to detail.<br>Feinmann: Online article that indicated that they were one of the top builders in Boston area.  We saw photos of some previous jobs and we liked how they looked.  When Peter came to the house took real interest in building a kitchen that would fit the design of the house and meet our needs, that was when we knew that Feinmann was the best choice for us.  Anyone can rip out an old kitchen and put in some new counters and cabinets, but we wanted someone who cared about design, style and function.<br>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733; This was our first remodeling project in the Boston area.   The first visit from Feinmann immediately showed that they understood the scope of the project and the constraints of our budget.   Communications with the staff were frequent and efficient. Peter, David, Barney and Paul were all very professional and devised cost effective solutions. The project ran smoothly and according to a precise schedule. And we like the remodeling result even more than what we dreamed of!<br>Recognized Excellence: David Wittig did a fantastic job of coordination.  Paul Flynn did a superb carpentry job and took care of all aspects on the site and did not hesitate to call to ask for our opinion.<br>Feinmann: Feinmann's original proposal and estimate were taking in account our budget and gave a reasonable projection.  The process was also well laid out and comprehensive. Also, previous results on work done elsewhere were in line with what we were looking for.  The in-house architect also meant we could save on the design time and budget.<br>Review from Serge S.]]></description>

<title>5-Star Review from Carol P. in Westwood, MA - Jul 09, 2014</title>
<description><![CDATA[&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733; Feinmann, Inc. handled a major renovation for us -- gutting and reconfiguring most of our first floor.  The reconfiguration included re-imagining our dining room, kitchen, downstairs bath, laundry room, and living room, plus adding a new sunroom and deck.  Our intensive experience with them, through what we feared would have to be a scary, painful, and traumatic experience, was outstanding!  Feinmann was the only design firm we interviewed that understood the scope and interactions of the problems we had with the home we had lived in for 20 years.  They developed a complete solution.  The iterative, collaborative design process (with Barney) resulted in a conceptual design that addressed all of our many requirements, incorporating both “think-outside-the box” ideas that we would never have dreamed of, as well as our own ideas and modifications that we drew ourselves.  (We highly recommend that you start the process by creating your own “needs assessment” document that describes how you currently (mis)use your rooms and what you would love to have instead.)  Feinmann gently guided us through the stressful process of weighing the trade-offs about which modifications to do, and what not to do.The project manager, Tammy, masterfully managed the thousands of details of the project, including coordinating and scheduling the many subcontractors so the project kept moving without any significant delays.  Many days she would have five or six different subcontractor crews working simultaneously in a beautifully orchestrated symphony.  She shielded us from the day-to-day stresses, but also did a great job communicating with us about the progress of the project, conferring with us well in advance of when decisions were required. She took full responsibility, and aggressive correction action, for the few communications gaps that occurred.  She also went above and beyond her nominal role by spending hours helping us narrow down various alternatives for which we would have otherwise hired a decorator (not just the selection of countertop, backsplash, plumbing fixtures, etc., but even light fixtures, paint colors, and selection of rugs).  AnD, our lead carpenter, demonstrated a dedication to excellence that we found so comforting, both in his own work and, reassuringly, in overseeing the work of the many other carpenters and subcontractors.  Nothing slipshod will ever get by AnD!  And he made significant, conscious efforts to insulate us from the noise, dust, and invasions of the construction (not that reconfiguring an entire first floor could ever be easy), even as one of us continued to work out of the house during the six months of active construction.Yes, our high-quality renovation project was expensive, but what a relief it was to feel so confident that all the complexities of the project were being handled so professionally and the money was being well spent.  As the project got underway, we soon felt assured that no subcontractor was making horrible mistakes that we would regret far longer than we would remember the bill.  Many of the warnings we received from other homeowners (e.g., of ever expanding bills, and the need to “watch them like a hawk” to keep them from cutting corners) did not apply to us.  Small changes and corrections were handled seamlessly.  We did have a few minor overages, and we expanded the project in a few areas, but those were other jobs that we had known that would eventually need to be done; by then, we knew that we already had a crew whom we could trust to do them well.  If you have the skills of a general contractor and understand how to direct, coordinate, and inspect every inch of every subcontractor's job, and don't mind the nit-picking nightmare, you may be able to get off cheaper, but then you should be working for Feinmann.  If you are like the rest of us, and you value your peace of mind and the quality of the job, and you want to sleep well each night knowing that your interests are being well looked after, choose Feinmann. We love how our home has turned out, both functionally and aesthetically, and we couldn’t be happier that we selected Feinmann for this significant, complex project.  We would recommend this company for any intricate remodeling job.<br>Review from Carol P.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ <br>Recognized Excellence: Two areas I would recognize. One, Feinmann has a strong team with individuals who deliver different areas of expertise. One delivered the big picture idea, another had the details, a third had the practical implications. Excellent. Two, Dave Witting managed the process exceptionally well. Timely updates, terrific responsiveness. He anticipated frustration and managed expecations extremely well.<br>]]></description>

<title>Review in Arlington, MA - Oct 27, 2013</title>
<description><![CDATA[ <br>Problem Resolution: Kyle was superb in addressing and resolving any problems.  He is very experienced and creative, and any time anything unexpected happened, we could trust that Kyle would figure out a way to make it right.  (For example - we had a vanity installed in the bathroom and there was a gap near the wall - Kyle came up with a great solution.  We had a dog feeding station installed, and Kyle found a perfect material to prevent water damage). Also in the rare cases of a problem that was due to Feinmann, there was no arguing about responsibility (eg the initial kitchen sink was an unexpected size and was replaced without argument, and one piece of granite was patched and again, it was replaced without argument).<br>Feinmann: We had heard good things about the firm over the years.  They are not the cheapest, but in this case you get what you pay for.  We worked with a high quality team, and got a great redesigned downstairs.<br>]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733; The finished product is phenomenal.  With Feinmann you are guaranteed a high level of expertise and an attention to detail and aesthetics that is unparalleled.  Concerns and problems during the project were handled with sensitivity to the needs of the client and with great attention to making the process an enjoyable one. All in all, I would recommend Feinmann to all those looking for a high quality renovation.<br>Recognized Excellence: Kevin, the carpenter, excelled at being both highly skilled and attentive to the needs of the household while working.  He was thoughtful and communicative and willing to go the extra mile to make the experience of a kitchen and bath renovation a pleasing one.  Dave Wittig was an excellent project manager and responded to all questions and concerns with thoughtfulness and generosity.  He kept the project moving and having his overview always guaranteed a high level of expertise from everyone involved.  Tammy Russo was a delight to work with and provided aesthetic and tactical solutions and suggestions. Tom, the painter, was so careful and thorough and skilled and extended himself over and over to accommodate to the needs of the project, always lending a helpful hand and being patient in the process.  The electrician, Dave, was very competent, as was the plumber and tile people.  I would say it is a remarkable team of professionals.<br>Review from Linda S.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733;&#9733; Each of the Feinmann professionals with whom we worked went above and beyond to give us the gorgeous kitchen of which we had dreamed.  Feinmann prides itself on catering to a discerning clientele and we were certainly that type. We had a lot of input to share and we felt completely heard, accommodated, and appropriately advised along the way. Even with the one or two "challenges" we encountered, Feinmann immediately and professionally addressed them to our compete satisfaction. I would be happy to work with them again in the future.<br>Review from David B.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ <br>Professional & Organized: Feinmann is extremely professional and extremely organized. From the very beginning when I met Peter Feinmann, we were very impressed with him. They were very organized with conversations.Tammy who is the production manager, wow she's fantastic also. We sat around a table, my husband included. We have had a number of conversations sitting around the table talking about ideas for the project, and I really felt like it was a partnership, and that they were listening to us and we were listening to them. It was just such a pleasant experience - really outstanding. I am over the top in what I want to say, because I am just so pleased with the process from beginning to end. The emails, telephone conversations, and around-the-table conversations all happened with patience and professionalism.<br>Communication: Everybody was so pleasant, polite, professional, and eager to please. There were so many instances when they asked "is there anything else we can do?" They really worked to make sure we were 100%++ pleased with everything. I never had any situation with anyone who came here where I didn't feel I was given the most professional expertise with a smile and a wonderful attitude. It really was like a partnership.<br>Value: I am very pleased - it's been a wonderful project. We have people who come into the house and say "wow!" I'm really really over the top in what I could say about them. A really wonderful company, wonderful staff with onderful, polite contractors.<br>]]></description>
