Testimonials

We used Martin for a major renovation of our basement, as well as a few associated projects.  Martin provided value in three key ways. First, he capably undertook tasks with a minimum of direction, easily interpreting requests and translating them into completed projects–for instance, when we suddenly said we wanted to replace our windows, and wanted the new windows to be reasonably priced and composite, he delivered a finished product that was exactly as requested, while requiring very little input from us. At the same time, Martin proved valuable in holding us back, preventing impractical or unnecessary work. Finally, Martin brought our projects a group of great individual finish craftsmen, whose only flaw was to make our basement finishes outshine others’ work elsewhere in our house.  You will have to compete with us for Martin’s time, as we intend to continue to use him for future work.

We worked with Martin on the complete gut renovation of our 1908 home in Edgewater.  Overall we were extremely pleased with the process and results of the project. Martin was great to work with, very thorough and professional, and helpful working through issues that came up during the build. His pricing was fair, the quality excellent, and he kept the site neat and orderly at all times.  Most importantly we felt that Martin was honest and dependable – he showed up when he said he would and always treated us fairly.  We’re thrilled with our new home and we’ve since recommended Martin to several of our friends doing similar projects.

You can’t go wrong with a skilled contractor who is local and takes every single project seriously and professionally like he is building his own house! Martin Flynn and his crew did a terrific job for the second story addition and the “down to stud” remodeling project for the single family house we purchased from him in 2015. Martin was very responsive to all the communication during the project and the purchase process. From architectural drawing and main frame structure down to electrical and plumbing, all of this work was licensed and permitted from the city hall. He offered one year warranty and guaranteed 100% satisfaction for any touch-up work post purchase. For these reasons, we recently hired his team back to build a brand new covered front porch, and it was another great success! I highly recommend him for any type of building or remodeling projects.

I have used Martin Flynn (Flynn Contracting) for several jobs at my home over the past few years. He rehabbed my entire first floor, including a kitchen and bath remodel, and reworking duct work in the house. He also replaced my front porch and remodeled my master bath. Not only is Martin extremely easy to work with, he completed every project on time and within the fee he quoted to me. He was always patient and helpful when I had questions or changed something mid-project. He takes great pride in his work and did not finish a project until he was sure I was happy with everything. Since completing the various projects for me, I have been thrilled with the results and have had no problems. I continue to recommend Martin to my friends, and as I have more projects come up, Martin is the only one that I call.
