One homeowner, writing in 2015, listed what McNitt Construction had done for them over several years: refinished the garage and part of the basement, built custom storage down there, added a screened porch, and repaired rot in various areas of the house. Robert McNitt holds the company's Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, 171733, and it is active on the state registry. Bathrooms are the other half of the written history. Two customers writing in April 2015 described bath projects — one a master bath, the other a rip-out and remodel of two of the three bathrooms in the house — and both credited Rob with helping them settle style and fixture decisions rather than leaving them to it. A third 2015 reviewer described how he checked that everything done before a new stage of the build was correct before starting the next one. The Natick company's Houzz profile reaches well past bathrooms: basement remodeling, deck building and repair, crown molding, concrete construction, barns, carports, accessory dwelling units and custom homes. The waterfront side has its own tells — dock design and construction on the service list, a certified AWLGRIP applicator and a PADI open water diver among the certifications, plus an EPA Lead Paint RRP listing. Houzz also shows a Massachusetts construction supervisor licence, CSL-098930, alongside the same HIC number. One caution comes from that same 2015 batch: the master-bath customer said the project ran slightly over the estimate, and put that down mostly to their own changes to fixtures and the vanity. All four of those Houzz reviews were written in April 2015, so ask for references from recent jobs. For a Natick-area homeowner who wants one registered builder to take on a bathroom, a basement or a porch — and to find and fix the rot behind it — McNitt is a reasonable call. Confirm what the estimate covers and how mid-project changes get priced before demolition starts.
We hired Robert and his team to rip out and remodel 2 of the 3 bathrooms in our home. We are so close to being done and everything is going very well! Being a busy working mom, I have had to lean on Robert to help me make decisions on style, fixtures and other things I just don't have time to address. By nature, these bathroom remodels are expensive (we gutted everything!) but he did some price shopping and kept an eye on the bottom line without compromising quality and style.
We hired McNitt Construction Company first to redo our master bath. Rob was easy to work with, respectful of our ideas and wants for the bath. The project ran slightly over the estimate but that was mostly due to us changing our minds on fixtures and vanity, etc. Overall the bath project was a huge success and came out exactly how we wanted. We hired McNitt Co. again to transform our breezeway to an enclosed mudroom. We had similar experience working with Rob on plans and layout as well as extending the back deck to work better with the new layout. This project also came out exactly how we imagined. It took a bit longer then we originally estimated but this was mostly due to the subcontractors schedules and lining up time with them. Overall we've been very happy working with Rob and McNitt Construction. He and his guys are respectful of the area around them, clean up after themselves. Rob is meticulous to detail and builds like it's his own house.
It was a very excellent experience. Before he started a new portion of the building process he would always check to make sure that everything that was done prior to the next step was done correctly. This was a valuable learning lesson for my husband and myself. When he again checked the mason's pillars he found that 2 of the 7 were not level. We contacted a mason to correct the problem prior to any additional work was done that would have had to been redone had this not been caught. He followed the structural engineer's drawings to the letter and required all subcontractors to do the same. He was an excellent teacher. Patient and knowledgeable and always courteous. We saw him as our personal "Mike Holmes" the star of the reality show " Holmes on Holmes". The job was done on time and to our complete satisfaction. His thoughtful planning of what the costs are and what a project entales is not always understood by the homeowner, but he is always willing to explain why something must be done to secure the integrity of the building of your project- just like Mike Holmes on his TV show. He also removed the old deck flooring carefully and we were able to give it someone else to use in a smaller setting. Our decking flooring is called Moisture Shield and it has hidden nails. This is far more time consuming to install but he assured us we would be much happier with the end result and we are. He also told us to have a cement slap under the steps. The previous steps did not and although they were only 7 years old they were broken and not sturdy. Our new steps land on a stone patio and are very secure. The deck is not just a deck to us. It literally transformed our entire backyard. We highly recommend Robert McNitt Construction Company for your building needs. He does excellent work. As a follow up comment we have had several neighbors and friends visit our beautiful deck. Many have come to ask about the process and admire the quality of the work. Our home has also been featured in a local magazine and the deck was a huge point of interest to the editor.
Over the past several years, McNitt Construction has done a number of projects on my house. These have included refinishing the garage and part of the basement, building custom storage in the basement, adding a screened in porch, repairing various areas of rot, and most recently, addressing an erosion issue that required rebuilding a retaining wall. In the all of the projects, Robert has discussed all options and made suggestions. He has costed out different materials that could be used so that I could make the final choice. I have been pleased with Robert's aesthetics - he is concerned with form as well as function. After each project was completed, the site was cleaned and all debris was taken away. I will definitely use McNitt Construction for some future projects that I have planned.
