Amazing work and reliable - the best!
This isn’t a review on customer service or even their work but really? Blocking a handicapped sign to park on the parking island isn’t cool.. there were like 15-20 spot in the parking lot. Walk like the rest of us or don’t do business (no i do not care if this is your building means even more to not block handicapped spots if it is your building) straight up pathetic
We have hired Doherty construction to side our home. They have been great to work with so far. Very professional and extremely pleasant. Rate was extremely reasonable.
