Dan Corey - the owner of Ashmont Renovations was recommended to me by another Judy's Book member for some interior painting earlier the Spring (do we have that here?)
Dan came in with a very competitive bid and did a great job with the 5-6 rooms we needed painted while we were away on vacation - he even shoveled our driveway out of a 14" snow storm which was way above and beyond the call.
The one thing that turned out really great was some stenciling he did while painting our old staircase.
Like any contractor, he had to changed around his schedule from day to day, but at 7:30AM you always knew if he was coming or not and easily worked around our schedules.

Boston Pewter Company is a nice little gift shop in Fanueil Hall. They offer a wide array of gifts, not just pewter. Pewter is prevalent though! It makes sense, because Paul Revere worked with pewter. The shop also carries glassware, wooden boxes and gifts, and other fun things. Some are a bit touristy, but some are truly lovely, and would be a great gift. The staff I have met are very nice, and let you browse to your hearts content! I will be back for a visit, as there are some items that my dad would LOVE!

A neighborhood favorite, this small restaurant has a cozy, friendly atmosphere as well as good food and generous portions. If you go frequently enough, the bartenders will remember your favorites. If you are visiting for the first time, the staff make you feel like a regular. Great pizza and frequently changing specials. Good bar area with a good selection of beer and wine.

We have been using Arco security for about three years and are very pleased with the service. The rates are competitive and being local, the customer service is outstanding. They are quick to respond and installation was scheduled within a day of us calling them. We needed to update our system after some home renovations and again they were fast and professional.

When we needed repairs done to our roof, we asked around the neighborhood and 9 out of 10 neighbors said, "call Duffy" so we did. Turns out, they have been around so long, they had actually installed our original roof. Kind of pricey, but worth the money. The neighbor who didn't call them (and went with the lowest bid) had to have his roof redone within a year and is currently trying to take some legal action against the company. No problems at all with Duffy. Everyone involved, from the estimates to the actual repairs was professional and pleasant.

I am a first time buyer at Yale Electric and it all strated very nicely. I placed an order and i was told that my first 3 items will be available for pickup next day. They were. But here goes the issue, the last item, per sales person, should have been delivered for store pickup in a week max 8 days, but it looks like it will hopefully take 14 days altogether. Called CS and spoke with few people, asked for compensation for the encovenience and guess what, u dont get anything. I had a delivery issue at Best Buy last month and I got a $75 gift card without even asking for ractification. So I dont think that i will shop at Yale again and will let everybody i know about the issue. P.S. They should have told me that delivery takes up to 3 weeks like other stores do. That will give them a piece of mind and a happy customer(s).

Our windows were old and drafty, making our heating bill outrageous in the winter. We were not interested in replacing them, as most are original to our 100 year old house. Olde Bostonian came in and refurbished all the windows so the fit nice and snug and open and closed with ease. They rebuilt areas where the wood had rotted away and replaced chains and hardware where needed. We were happy with the results.

More
When some kids threw a pumpkin through our first floor window (a Halloween prank) we needed it repaired quickly since our alarm system is wired to the windows. Glass Medic was available right away and did the repairs from the back of their truck parked in front of the house. They did a great job and were friendly and professional as well. Hopefully we won't need them again, but I would not hesitate to call them if the need arises.

We needed a new glass door for our house and discovered we had an unusual sized opening. Went to Dorchester Door and they were able to help us. They had a door made (glass for the winter, screen for the summer) and installed it. The service was fast and professional. We will call them again when it comes time to replace the back door.
