## The honest read

In a September 2019 HomeAdvisor review, a customer said Downeast Home Builders "completed the windows replacement project to my complete satisfaction!" A July 2019 customer who lives "a good distance away" wrote that Downeast "needed no supervision to do the work as requested" and that they would contract with the company again. Another July 2019 customer said they "did exactly what was requested on time and within quoted cost." A June 2019 reviewer wrote, "He's here every day and gets right to work."

In September 2019 a different customer gave a half-star HomeAdvisor review: "The only person I have fired in my life. Terrible man-".

**Strengths:**
