Hi, my name is Peter Duffy and we have been remodeling homes in the greater Boston area since 1984. We hope that the information on this site will help you to make an informed decision regarding your home remodeling project. We also hope that the photos of our past projects will inform and inspire you regarding any remodeling project you may have know or in the future.
Bathroom remodeling is another specialty of ours. We will redesign what you have or simply replace the fixtures and faucets, updating your current design. For bath fixtures we use Kohler, American Standard, Elger and Toto, to name a few, as well as Moen, Delta, Price Pfizer and Symmons for tub and shower valves and lavatory faucets.

I had Peter and his crew renovate my bathroom and put a floor into the unfinished attic of my condo unit. I knew when I met him that he was a no-nonsense, highly professional contractor. In his estimate for the bathroom, he was very clear in delineating our respective responsibilities. The bathroom turned out pretty much exactly how I had conceived it, and I attribute a lot of that to Peter and his crew's experience and skill, and his ability to listen, ask the right questions, and be available for questions from me. I was very busy at the time the work was being done, and I hugely appreciated

Peter recently finished two jobs for me. Refinishing a partially finished basement and adding a separate office in the basement. Peter and his team (especially Oliver) did a great job and we are very pleased with the outcome. Peter has years of experience and had some great advice during the process which really made a difference.

Peter and his team did a very extensive renovation of our home: building new attic stairs, completely redoing two bathrooms, kitchen counters, flooring throughout, chimney removal, knocking down walls, and adding AC. Plus odds and ends. He did a great job and we've been very happy with the work. He actually did most of it while we were out of state, and he was super easy to communicate with and trustworthy to manage things in our absence. His subcontractors are all as wonderful as Peter--super responsive, professional, and expert. We've recommended him to others and would use him again

Peter completed two jobs in my house and both were done with great craftsmanship. He finished our basement and installed a new doorway along with some other repairs throughout our house. He was very professional and provided an estimate that was true to the final cost and timeline. He cleaned up the job beautifully after each day which was also great. We were very happy with his work and will definitely use him again and recommend him to others.

We hired Peter for a complete gut job & remodel of our bathroom. As first time home buyers, we were nervous as to what to expect and afraid of being taken advantage of. Peter responded to our request for a quote quickly and talked us about all the possible options to maximize space. Throughout the remodel, Peter gave updates as far as timeline and answered all of our questions. Peter was responsive to phone calls & emails. He is a perfectionist which is shown in his work.
We will be definitely calling Peter back for any future work we need in our house.

Peter and his team were a perfect fit for our projects. Photos coming soon...
First, we had a small (very narrow) laundry room that we wanted to make more livable. He stacked our new washer/dryer, reworking the plumbing and venting, built a door around it, and turned the extra space into a separate closet by building a wall in between. He made suggestions that kept the cost down, which I appreciated considering another contractor had quoted a crazy price for similar work.
Second, we wanted to renovate our bathroom entirely. He and his crew stripped out our old bathtub, floor, tile, etc

I wish I could add stars to this rating.
My first experience with Peter Duffy and Remodeling Boston was a very modest project.
The latest one was far greater in scope and effort: we needed significant woodwork removed, replaced, and painted around the third floor of the house.
Peter's management and attention to quality detail was the same as it had been in my first experience.
Peter quite simply took care of ensuring that we came in on time and on budget without compromising our long-term results. And again, I am particular and I looked closely.

I will share the frustration of the lack of communication. Actually absence. We were scheduled to have work done, only to experience delay - and a couple of weeks of NO Response to emails, phone or texts.
I contracted with someone else - who was fantastic and professional and quality - while still trying to reach Peter.
No luck.
My recommendation is to save your frustration and call another contractor. Or call me and I will be glad to recommend another.

I had a $3K work to do in my house that was supposed to last around 1 week. I have had very poor customer service along the way, very poor interactions, and felt there was no interest for my project because it was so "small". I had to wait 7-10 days to get any reply by email. Waited weeks to get a proposal. When I called I was met with a laconic "I'll send it to you today", and had to wait another 2 or 3 days to finally get the document... The works were supposed to start mid-September and were then postponed of 2 weeks without explanation. The day before the works were

Peter is a wonderful person and a great contractor. He is honest and really invested in making sure you are happy with your final product.
I priced out my project with many contractors, and Peter was the most reasonable by around 10K! He was able to suggest various options to reduce pricing. He wasn't trying to push up his profit margin. He was trying to make sure I was getting a good deal.
The project started on time and Peter's assistant Mario performed the demo and always left the place looking immaculate. Peter suggested I look at Stone Surfaces in Burlington, MA for my granite

My wife and I recently hired Peter and his team to do a total remodel of our kitchen and overall we are very satisfied with the results.
From the beginning he was responsive to our questions and requests for design assistance. He came to our house a few times to discuss options, cabinet brands, appliances, the works. We originally talked with Peter in the fall only to table the project over the winter. When we later contacted him in the spring he picked up the project proposal right where we left off.
Throughout the project he was very clear on next steps and any upcoming decisions that needed

I will start by saying that we did not go with Peter so I can't tell how the actual work is, however, we had a great experience with Peter speccing out the work and that is what this review is for.
Peter was a little hard to get hold of, but he made time for us, and spent a lot of time discussing the project. Ours was a tiny project and so I was impressed that he spent the time.
It was a challenging project, involving retrofitting a dishwasher into a quaint 1960s kitchen. Peter spent a lot of time discussing different options. He came up with an innovative idea - placing the dishwasher in

Peter handled our kitchen renovation and was the smartest, most reasonably priced contractor we've worked with during 30 years of fixing up old houses. (We're on our third.) He was responsive, helpful without being overbearing, and a font of good ideas about the complicated issues we faced--he has an artist's eye and a carpenter's clever hands. Unlike other contractors we contacted, he didn't didn't insist on charging us big bucks up front just to bat around ideas and help us refine the basic design we'd figured out. When problems and surprises reared their ugly

Peter helped give us the ideal kitchen for our first home! We hired him at first just to expand the kitchen's small entry way but thought he was so thoughtful, responsive and thorough that we hired him to do the floors, cabinets, and tile backsplash as well.
He was a fantastic resource throughout the renovation, answering not only our kitchen questions but any home operating questions we had as first time homeowners. His advice was always honest - trying to save us money while maintaining quality - and the work he did was meticulous. We plan to hire him again soon to do more to improve our

Peter did a great job on my kitchen. I didn't use a designer, but he was very willing to use my self-drawn plans and listen to the intent behind them. I valued his expertise when he suggested changes that would make the project even better. When the unexpected appeared after demolition, he was flexible and rolled with the changes. He's available and communicative by email and text.
Highly recommended.

This is the first time I have ever written a review yet based on what Peter Duffy put me through I feel it is important to share my experience to protect others from this situation. I innocently called Peter to provide me an estimate to complete a bathroom remodel. Peter came to my house on a recent morning, saw the bathroom and had the audacity to steel my house key. Shortly after he left, I realized what he did and called him to ask him to return my key immediately. He continued to hang up on me. When I kept calling, he finally agreed to return it the next morning. Of course he didn&apos
