Sustainable Design Services in West Stockbridge, MA

“We hired Tony and crew to design and execute a Post and Beam front porch using our own cherry harvested from our property. Tony chose the trees, harvested them , planed the beams , and designed and erected the most beautiful, elegant front entry we've ever seen or could have imagined. It has a simplicity that makes the most of the wood and complements the design of the house. His enthusiasm and craftmanship with the project was unparalleled in our experience.”

“Thanks to Flatbrook, I LOVE my kitchen again. They transformed a small, uninteresting space into an modern, beautiful and ergonomically designed space that has become the central focus of the house. They were respectful of my time line and my budget and I highly recommend them.”

“The Laplante Construction team is top notch. Every project they complete is impeccable down to the smallest detail. Bill and Ray are both great people and great to work with as well.”

“I couldn't be happier. Mari's suggestions were top-notch, though my wife and I felt the need to look at lots of other stuff before we returned to her original ideas and saw they were best. The materials were superb, everything was as-advertised, her workers were top professionals, the job has gotten oohs and aahs, even from a cynical friend who is "in the business" in a different county. My wife and I, now 6 months later, still stare admiringly at our new kitchen every day and the many perfect little touches, and can find not one tiny little itsy bitsy complaint or suggestion for improvement. It's gorgeous, it was inexpensive for what we got, it was on time. A rave, right? But she deserves it. It's a matter of taste, but I'd recommend what we got: the quaker maple cabinets, light natural wood (as opposed to painted white) and quartz countertops -- all the way to the ceiling, with concave crown moulding making the connection to the ceiling. Looks like a million bucks. Plus, Mari was delightful. Very upbeat and easy to work with.”

“Jock and his team have now done two big renovation jobs at our house outside Chatham and we are already talking about a third. I wouldn't think of hiring a different builder. The budgeting and billing process is fair and transparent with no rude surprises, the workmanship is flawless, the workmen are great to have around and both jobs have gotten done in exactly the time frame promised. (Having done other jobs with other contractors in other places, believe me, these are words I never thought I would say about any contractor!) When unexpected conditions come up as they always do in renovations of old houses Jock is instantly on the spot to address them. Andrew, Jock's design partner, is gifted and tireless. Though I am now a screenwriter and director I was previously an architect, which makes me not the easiest design client, and both Andrew and Jock have handled my hyper-involved madness with grace and calm. The finished product on both jobs has the glow of work done meticulously and with a deep commitment to getting it exactly right. I give Claverack Builders my highest recommendation.”

“Burlock Interiors had the pleasure of working with Quatrefoil on a designer showhouse in 2012. They installed a loft and all our wood paneling for us. It was then that we learned that they are general contractors of the highest caliber. This year, they invited us to style one of the kitchens they designed (and built) for a photo shoot. And it was the same thing. Amazing work. Our services certainly overlap. We design kitchens too! The point is, we know great work when we see it. If you want something beautiful in your home to show off to your friends and family, this company is one-stop-shopping. Seriously.”

“Joe and his team were awesome to work with our gut renovation. Their design/build process helped up navigate our dreams, our budget, and the building's technical constraints. Every sub-contractor and expert they connected us with has been as high-quality as well. They also managed to source some great materials for us.”

“Design-Build: Renovating the Right Way When we first entertained the idea of remodeling our home we worked with an architect to help us figure out how we could make our house function better. We ended up with drawings and had no idea where to go next. During our search for a builder, we learned about design-build which provides one unified flow of work from initial concept through project completion. We engaged Integrity Development & Construction under a single contract to provide design and construction services. The collaborative relationship we built with Heidi, our designer, and Kyle, our Project Manager, during the design phase set the stage for a smooth and successful project. Heidi and Kyle were extremely patient with us, answering all of our questions and providing us with excellent advice and ultimately a great design that addressed our needs. We spent a good amount of time selecting tile, flooring, paint colors, plumbing fixtures, finishes, etc. that all went into the final scope of work which determined the bottom line contract cost. Because Integrity was responsible for both designing AND building the project, great attention was given to pricing and scheduling in the design phase. The costs of all aspects of the project were taken into account early on in the process; all fees, construction costs, finishes, etc. were accounted for in the contract and the cost would only change if we – the homeowners – made changes. On the first day of demolition, we were introduced to Bert who was our lead carpenter for the entire project. He was at our house every day during the entire renovation. Kyle, our project manager, checked in weekly to review any change orders or to discuss upcoming work that was to be done. Both Kyle and Bert were very responsive to any texts/emails we sent with questions or concerns. Any issues we had were addressed immediately and with perfect aplomb. We worked closely with the Integrity team with a shared goal of completing a successful project. We lived in our house during the entire 4 months of demo and construction. Everyone from Integrity was very respectful of our space leaving the house clean and tidy at the end of each workday. We had a great working relationship with Bert, our carpenter which was important as he arrived at our house at 7 AM each and every day. He was incredibly industrious and kept the project on track. At the end of the project when we looked at our new kitchen and two new bathrooms we felt like we were looking at a high-end design magazine. Attention had been paid to every little detail. And the budget stayed on track – no surprises! Strangely we missed all of our Integrity friends after the project was done. When we are ready for another project Integrity will definitely be our first call. Bottom Line: if you want your project to run smoothly, stay on budget, work with fun and interesting people, call Integrity.”

“A fantastic contractor. Specializes in Eco-friendly homes. We have lived in 2 MacArthur construction houses and we were thrilled with both of them. The work is simply top-quality - no corners are cut by the construction team. I cannot say enough good things!”

“I am in the Kitchen & Bath Design/Remodeling business and have had the privilege of working with Jim and his team on some of his finely built timber frame homes. They are extremely professional, very service oriented and deliver a great product at a fair price. I would recommend them to any one interested in authentic timber frame construction.”
