## The honest read

A family living in a 200-year-old house wrote in February 2015 that when their family-room remodel turned out harder than anyone had guessed, Nik Monahan walked them over to the problem, showed it to them, and laid out the most sensible way to fix it. Every written account of Monahan Contracting sounds like that: the owner on site, explaining the choice before it gets made.

Nik Monahan has run the Milton company since 2003. Houzz lists it as a general contractor established that year, working on home remodels, additions, basement remodeling and accessory dwelling units, and shows Remodelers Advantage and National Kitchen & Bath Association membership on the profile. All five of its Houzz ratings are five stars, and seven projects are posted there.

The customer accounts run 2014 to 2016, and they describe real project-scale work. In December 2014 a homeowner wrote about a modest in-law addition that became a full one-bedroom apartment with living room, kitchen, bedroom and bath, which meant putting a full basement foundation into a very tight footprint with limited access and improving the septic system along the way. In October 2014 a couple who were referred by their realtor hired him to upgrade a 1920s kitchen and add a half bath beside it, and said the project started on time and moved along without major surprises. Another customer writing that same month was on their second job with him: a kitchen and two baths before a condo resale, then two years later living space carved out of an unfinished basement. In June 2016 a collaborator on a large renovation and addition credited Nik's attention to detail and his willingness to go further than the contract asked.

Two things to settle before you hire. The detailed write-ups date from 2014 to 2016, so ask Nik for two recent projects and the owners' phone numbers. And the work people describe is renovation-and-addition scale rather than small repairs, so come with a real scope if you want a useful number.

For a whole-room renovation, an addition or an in-law apartment around Milton, particularly in an older house where the surprises are structural, Monahan Contracting is a reasonable call. Get recent references and a written allowance schedule before you sign.

**Strengths:**
- Owner explains the work — a 2015 customer was shown the problem first-hand
- Structural additions — 2014 in-law apartment needed a new foundation and septic work
- Repeat customers — one homeowner hired the company for two separate projects
- Old-house work — reviewers describe 1920s and 200-year-old homes
- Perfect Houzz score — five ratings, all five stars

**Concerns:**
- Dated write-ups — customer accounts run 2014 to 2016
- Project-scale work — described jobs are renovations and additions, not repairs
