“We hired the Pratley Company for a major renovation of our recently purchased 1970s condo. We chose Peter Pratley's company because from the very beginning he was super-organized, with detailed spreadsheets that tracked the various stages of the complicated project (which he updated with meticulous care as the project progressed). All the craftsmen he brought to the job -- electricians, plumbers, painters, floor finishers, etc. -- were highly professional and well supervised. Peter kept us well informed throughout the process.
Pete is smart, impeccably honest, and had a broad range of skills. For example, he was able to work with the zoning people at Town Hall to help resolve a very sticky issue on our behalf. And he has an excellent eye for design -- I remember that he helped us choose kitchen cabinet, granite countertops, floor tiles, and backsplash that all looked great together. He had a great idea of how to create space for a mudroom off the kitchen. Peter handled the inevitable project modifications with patience, such as when we added a bathroom to the renovation list late in the game and when he uncovered the living room ceiling and found there was almost no insulation. Oh, and we really appreciated his good humor.
Now, five years later, our renovation has stood the test of time - not a single thing has broken or malfunctioned or proved disappointing.”
