Corriveau Contracting Services

Overall, experiences with Corriveau Contracting Services are mixed, reflecting both positive workmanship and significant concerns.

Positive experiences and notable strengths
- Several reviewers describe professional, responsive communication. In particular, Kevin is praised for quick responses, fair handling of additional carpentry work, and crediting back items from the final bill when not needed.
- Work quality praised in multiple projects: vaulted ceilings and interior painting completed to the customer’s satisfaction; deck framing described as high quality; various remodeling tasks completed efficiently by coordinated teams.
- One reviewer highlighted the contractor’s ability to coordinate multiple trades, delivering speed and good results at a fair price.

Negative experiences and major concerns
- A number of serious complaints include claims of theft on site (wheelbarrow and mixed cement allegedly removed from a property) and accusations of poor site behavior (soiled floors, doors left unlocked) and ignored communications.
- Grounded in other reviews are reports of miscommunication and disputed charges, including arbitrary-fee items (e.g., plumbing and framing charges) added without upfront discussion.
- Specific projects described as problematic: at least one master bath was completed satisfactorily while another bathroom’s vanity arrived cracked; some finish work and painting were incomplete or not up to expectations; and issues with proper inspection and adherence to agreed-upon scopes.
- A reviewer explicitly advised against hiring them, citing enthusiasm and accountability issues, unresolved disputes, and potential reliability problems. An update to another review acknowledged receiving proof of charges but still urged clearer expectations and thorough vetting of installations.

Practical takeaways for potential customers
- If hiring, obtain a detailed written scope and itemized, upfront estimates. Require a clear change-order process and written approval for any additional charges.
- Insist on documenting work scope, milestones, and inspections (including photographs of installed items) to avoid disputes later.
- Verify licensing, insurance, and references; discuss site conduct expectations (cleanup, security, and access) and how damages or unfinished work are handled.
- Set expectations for responsiveness and accountability, and insist on clear point-of-contact throughout the project.

In summary, some customers report solid workmanship and professional handling, while others report significant reliability, communication, and billing concerns, along with at least one allegation of theft. Potential customers should perform due diligence, request clear written agreements, and verify workmanship and aftercare expectations before proceeding.
