Here are testimonials from some of our satisfied clients:
-
"Working with Walsh Construction on the 2004 addition to our 1920's colonial home was a pleasure from start to finish. The project took five months to complete, and given that we added roughly 1500 square feet of living space and changed/touched every room in the house, that is an amazing feat!
The team of workmen - carpenters, plumbers, electricians - was a fun bunch, and has worked with Steve Walsh for a long time, so the process was unbelievably smooth, and there was coordinated work going on every day. Since we wanted to live in the house during construction, the carpenters set up temporary walls to minimize dust and disruption, as well as a temporary basement kitchen to accommodate us.
The quality of the finish work and its match to the existing house is superb, and given that I am extremely picky, that is saying something! Steve has integrity; he prides himself on the quality of his work and on completing his projects ahead of schedule and on budget. I especially liked the fact that he addressed any concerns I raised during the project immediately.
I love my new home, but I can honestly say that I miss the work crew that I grew accustomed to seeing every day. I highly recommend Walsh Construction and would be happy to speak to any prospective clients in more detail."

“I can think of a number of reasons to recommend Walsh Construction.
The three that seem most important are:
- Steve Walsh is a smart man. He understands that getting
the work done on time and on budget is good for him and for
his clients.
He knows that maintaining a good relationship with City
Hall is important to keep a smooth construction process.
He appreciates
that work well done is required to maintain a good reputation,
as well as being desirable to the client.
- Walsh Construction brings good people aboard. The Walsh
crew produces high quality work, they have been working with
Steve
a long time, and they all work together well. In addition,
Steve maintains good working relationships with subcontractors
whose
work he knows and trusts, and who are dependable and available
when Steve needs them to be.
- Finally, the whole group has a great sense of humor - an
important element in the stressful construction process!”

- “Dear Steve:
I've been remiss in not writing you sooner to tell you how much Jo and I have enjoyed the relationship we've had with your Company and how much we appreciate what you have done for us.
We've been working with you for over five years, starting with the major addition and continuing on with other projects. We remain consistently impressed with your absolute reliability and the quality of your work and of your sub contractors. Our past experiences with contractors has been pretty much unsatisfactory, and promises not kept, schedules not maintained and a series of tiresome excuses. This has certainly not been our experience with you, Steve.
I can't picture our making a decision concerning any aspect of the house without consulting you. You'll be hearing from us shortly about our old boiler which we've been told by Keyspan should be replaced. We wouldn't consider proceeding without getting your advice and knowing of your ongoing interest is very reassuring to us.
Thanks again Steve and we look forward to working with you again - you've been a real friend to us!
Best Regards,”
Bob Asher
- “ Steve Walsh and his crew are true professionals. Their
workmanship is exceptionally sound and skilled. The projects
we have worked
on together have always been delivered on the budget and
within the schedule set out at the beginning. Changes to the
work
are always handled clearly and fairly.
Walsh Construction's involvement in a project ensures a well
built outcome.
When it came time to build my own house, there was no contractor
I would rather have had than Walsh Construction.
This office will continue to recommend and use Walsh Construction
for projects.”

- “Two years ago, the craftsmen at Steve Walsh Company transformed
the
living room and dining room in my condominium. Working with a
talented architect, Walsh Company removed several walls, added
a
graceful skylight, and restored the wooden floors to timeless
beauty.
A subcontractor installed cental A/C with three thermostatic
zones,
thereby completing the renovation.
The new skylight deserves special mention. One of Walsh's fine
craftsmen, Tom, had a suggestion to make the architect's design
even
more beautiful. With a February storm approaching, I approved
the
modification. Working under intense pressure as the winds increased
and as heavy snow threatened, Tom built the most graceful skylight
I
have ever seen. As the snow started to fall late that afternoon,
Tom
had buttoned the roof and we celebrated his amazing design.”

- “Steve & his whole crew were a pleasure to work with,
and we couldn't be
happier with our addition. It was a daunting project, but the
whole process
went much more smoothly than we had dared hope. We recommend
Walsh
Construction wholeheartedly!”
--Lisa Mirabile & Giles Birch
- “When we first started the bidding process of the project,
we were
well aware of Steve's distinguished reputation, however, what
struck me most
about Steve Walsh was his commitment to staying on time and within
our
budget.”
"
With Steve, it became very clear from the onset of the project
that
the relationship between him and his customers was a prime concern."
"
His crew is all business in their ability to execute any task
at
hand with efficiency and craftsmanship worthy of Norm Abrams!"
"
Steve's relationship with Newton's Engineering, Water & Sewer
Departments as well as his adeptness in dealing with the different
inspectors through the various stages of construction proved
to be
invaluable."
"
If someone were to ask me to describe Steve Walsh and his crew,
I
would easily say that the characteristics that resonate the most
are his
honesty, integrity, professionalism, experience, quality craftsmanship,
intelligence, and his ability to work through any difficult issue
with
humor, giving my wife and I a sense of ease, knowing we're in
good hands."
-- Sean Fitzgerald, Newton, MA
- "Steve Walsh has done a great deal of work on my house
in Cambridge, both inside and out. I have always found him consciencious,
reliable,
courteous (and humorous). All of his crew--carpenter, electrician,
plumber, painters, etc.--are exceptionally professional. To a
man, they were thoughtful of me as they worked. They were pleasant
to
be around and I looked forward each morning to their arrival.
They were polite, neat, worked fast and hard, and made sure everything
was cleaned up when they left in the afternoon. I think they
have
all worked a long time for Mr. Walsh and hold a deep loyalty
toward him. To me such loyalty is important. I have the highest
regard
for the Walsh Construction Company."
-- Phyllis Seidel
- "From the start, Steve's proposal for our
addition from the architect's
drawings was thorough and comprehensive. He made sound recommendations
for design improvements and changes to materials based on his
knowledge and experience. Then, he gave us a work schedule and
starting date."
"
We were told how to prep for the constuction and the crew started
on time.
When problems arose, they worked with the architect and structural
engineer
to fix them quickly and not affect schedule. The coordination
with his
professional subcontractors was effective and everyone worked
together well
to ensure we were happy with the work at all times. The worksite
was clean,
orderly and safe. Inspections with the city went smoothly."
"
Since we were taking on some of the project ourselves, he took
on the
additional burden to manage us. Where items that effected schedule
were our
responsibility, we got sufficient lead-time to get them done.
Throughout
the project, the line of communication were open with Steve and
the crew to
discuss any point about the construction - we felt very involved."
"
We finished the main project on time and within our budget and
decided to
start phase 2 of the project. We had some planning issues with
the city and
the overall design of the front porch. Steve helped us work through
these
issues quickly by recommending changes and the appropriate people
to talk to at city hall."
" Overall, we are very pleased with the addition and the
front porch. The
architect and the crew worked together very well. The fact that
we got a
work schedule and kept to it, despite problems that come up on
any
construction project, was the most impressive. I would recommend
the Walsh
Company for any project."

- “We decided to expand our house in 1999 due to a second child on the way. We had plans drawn up by an architect to add approx 1700 sq feet of living space. This included a finished basement, family room & 3 new bathrooms. Our existing home is 100 years old so we wanted to match the nice finish work in the new addition as well.
We started calling four area contractors in 1999 and had months of run around with no return phone calls and no follow up with any price estimates. We were frustrated and considered moving instead of going through these troubles.
We saw the Walsh Construction sign on a home close to ours in early 2000. The homeowner was very happy with the work so I called Steve Walsh. To my surprise he returned my call within 1 hour & came to our house the next day. He gave us an estimate and we hired him without any other prices because he was always easy to reach, very professional and had great references.
The job took about 4 months and it went very smoothly. There are always obstacles and disruption going through this process. Steve's builders took many steps to help keep the turmoil to a minimum. They erected temp walls and cleaned up at the end of each day.
The end result was outstanding. I am very particular and was very happy with the Walsh construction work & the subcontractors' work. There was activity going on every day and the project was finished on time.
I would recommend Walsh Construction without hesitation. Feel free to call me if you would like to get any further information.”
