Two of the eleven people who reviewed A to Z Custom Homes and Remodeling are design professionals, and both said the same thing: they keep sending clients here. An architect writing in November 2013 said the Dedham firm had been building her projects "starting in 2005 and continuing to current projects"; an architectural designer writing the same week said that however complex his drawings got, "they could always get it done, even if it was something they hadn't done before." The work behind that reputation is heavy structural remodeling, run hands-on by owner Noff Paparazzo. Reviewers describe a second-floor addition dropped onto a single-story ranch with a new dining room at the back, a three-season porch converted to a four-season sunroom, a finished basement, a full kitchen with the electrical and plumbing brought up to code, and a major addition to a historic Dedham house. Two separate reviewers singled out the same unusual capability — fabricated metal stairs and railings — and one described a high-end custom home with geothermal and smart-home systems. Here is the thing to weigh: that written history is old. Every one of the eleven five-star ratings on its Houzz profile was posted between November 2013 and June 2018, and Houzz is the only place with any of them. Nothing written since tells you how the crew works today, so ask for two or three references from the last year and go see the work. Houzz also lists licence number 104757 and a typical job range of $5,000 to $5 million — the directory's listing, not a confirmation, so ask for current registration and insurance in writing. The right call if you are planning a real addition or a whole-house-scale renovation in the Dedham and Newton area and you want one builder carrying design through inspections. Verify the credentials and the recent work yourself before you sign.
A to Z removed a three season porch from my home, and replaced it with a four season sunroom. Noff was good to work with, he and his crew did a nice job. I get many compliments about the addition and my family is enjoying it.
A to A Home Improvement does excellent work at an excellent price. I found out about A to Z Home improvement when I needed to have ice dams removed. I was impressed by how hard Noff and his crew worked and the excellent work they did. Consequently, I hired A to Z Home Improvement to replace my roof. The owner, Noff Paparazzo, is the ideal contractor .He spent a great deal of time scrutinizing the roof and explaining every aspect of the job. I contacted him several times with additional questions and he was more than patient. I was having a problem in my bathroom and he personally took care of it. While the job was in progress, it was discovered that a small roof area needed the underlying wood replaced. Mr. Paparazzo only charged me for the wood. Noof is the ideal contractor because he is kind, patient, intelligent, and knowledgeable with an exceptionally high work ethic. He is also very good about overseeing the job and honoring the time schedule. In addition, I was also very impressed by his crew. They came early, were focused, and worked very hard. The clean-up during and after the job was perfect. I would absolutely hire A to Z Home Improvement for any work I would want done in the future.
We hired Noff to build a large addition, which included adding a bathroom and full kitchen renovation. Noff and his crew were professional, reliable and responsive. We are pleased with the care he put into our job and the quality of the workmanship. We also appreciated Noff's eye for detail and attention to the esthetics of the project. A year later we had them come back to renovate a bathroom, and again we couldn't be more pleased.
We chose A to Z Custom Homes to finish our basement and couldn't have been happier with the results. Noff and his crew were an absolute pleasure to work with in every respect. He is responsive, professional, efficient and courteous. He listened carefully to everything we were looking to accomplish and provided very helpful suggestions and alternatives for cost savings throughout the entire project. His estimate was reasonable and he stayed within budget. Noff is honest, friendly and very easy to work with. It’s obvious he puts his heart into his work and will go to great lengths to make sure his clients are happy. Most importantly, the quality of the craftsmanship was truly top-notch and every aspect of the project came out beautifully. We are extremely satisfied with the finished basement, and highly recommend Noff without hesitation for any home improvement or building project. We will definitely use his company again for future projects.
A to Z performed a second floor addition to our single story ranch, as well as a new dining room addition at the back of the house. The project was on budget and on time!! Noff handled the entire process with true professionalism and craftsmanship. He took the time to ensure all of our needs were handled and his attention to detail is unsurpassed. I would and have recommended A to Z to all of our friends and family. I will hire him again when it's time for more work!
