Testimonials
“I have to say, in 25 years of doing this, Statewide was the best restoration contractor we have ever worked with.”
Lisa Harrington, Director, Building Conservation Associates, Inc.
“My clients always benefit from the personal attention of Statewide’s principals, John and Kieran Fitzgibbon. ... They always satisfy the most demanding of our associations. I’d recommend them without reservation.”
Steve Dannin, Principal, Dannin Management
“What I like is that they’re honest, ethical and practical. Over the years I’ve dealt with scores of vendors, but Statewide RM stands out.”
Debbie Davie, Vice President, Brigs LLC
“They’re meticulous in their work and incredibly careful. I especially like them because they’re always accessible and they make things understandable. ‘Very user friendly’ would be a good term to describe them. From small patching jobs to major waterproofing, the quality of work Statewide RM delivers is outstanding.”
Mark Luckman, retired from Thayer & Associates
“We find Statewide to be responsive, diligent, conscientious and knowledgeable. They have the ability to work through difficult problems that invariably accompany restoration projects. We would recommend them unreservedly.”
Mike Velji, Principal, VP Engineering
“Statewide RM’s technical prowess and workmanship is outstanding. Tell them once and they execute perfectly and follow through all the way.”
Edward Moll, Principal, Structures North Consulting Engineers, Inc.
“The work Statewide RM recently completed on one of our client sites was textbook masonry restoration. Their attention to detail spoke volumes about their superb craftsmanship. I’d say you could take other vendors to school on the jobs they do, just so they can learn how work should really be done.”
E.J. Waldman, retired from Noblin & Associates, PE
“We had a great experience with Statewide. They’re very professional and delivered, as promised, on time and on budget. I’d recommend them to anyone.”
Paul Cavicchio, Owner, Appel Realty
“His work is exceptional. He gives the owner his full attention and provides first-class service. I have zero complaints.”
Joshua Mahoney, Project Manager, Akelius Real Estate Management LLC
“The project was on budget and on time. There was a lot of work that Statewide folded into the project that they didn’t charge for, and when they did charge for significant change orders, what they charged was not excessive.”
Annie Stefanelli, Principal, The Stefanelli Company
“He went to all of the commission meetings, sought approval, waited months to go in front of the commission to show them the exact color of mortar, and answered a litany of questions. He followed protocol and started working with the commission in January for a June launch. They were flawless and obtained all of the needed approvals.”
Annie Stefanelli, Principal, The Stefanelli Company
“You know the quality of their work. Kieran and John have run the company for decades, but they are as diligent today as they were when I first met them. They work on projects as if they are working on their own home. They take pride in their work. Their employees have been with them for decades, so you know what you’re going to get.”
Annie Stefanelli, Principal, The Stefanelli Company
“Statewide does great work and is a pleasure to work with. There is a lot of trust between us. I can be confident that work will be implemented properly and that if any issues arise, we will discuss them. We have a strong relationship.”
Matthew Copeland, Principal, Copeland Building Envelope Consulting, Inc.
“Kieran had the most aggressive bid on the first go-round. Kieran’s resolve for solving buildings’ water infiltration problems sets him apart in this industry. His bid had the most teeth in it and, coupled with his work ethic and knowledge, he earned the board’s trust.”
Annie Stefanelli, Principal, The Stefanelli Company
“Matching the brick and mortar is always a challenge. A lot of lesser restoration people don’t get it right. Statewide does. We went through about 20 different brick samples and, with a mortar pallet, about 50 different combinations.”
Edward Moll, Principal, Structures North Consulting Engineers, Inc.
“Some contractors are change-order happy. These guys stick to their price. Change orders are minimal.”
Edward Moll, Principal, Structures North Consulting Engineers, Inc.
“What impressed me was the organizational way of how the project was executed. There was a lot of oversight. A lot of good information was shared back-and-forth. Kieran was so communicative. He didn’t make any assumptions.”
Lisa Harrington, Director, Building Conservation Associates, Inc.
“They’re fantastic. I always try to work with Statewide RM if I can. They’re extremely professional, quick, and accurate with their pricing. I’ve never had any complaints and I’ve worked with them for years.”
Kirsten Bulger, Principal, The Renzi Bulger Group
“Statewide took good care in cutting out the old mortar to the right depth, without damaging the brick. That’s the key in repointing. If you overcut, it damages the bricks. If you undercut, the new mortar will crack and fall out in a short time and you’ll have to repoint again.”
David Horton, Building Envelope Technologies
“One thing that stood out is that Kieran visited the site every day to make sure quality was up to par. He was also there for weekly walk-throughs. If there were any issues, he would address them. Statewide will be our number one choice on our next project.”
Jamie Maloney, Project Manager, Akelius Real Estate Management LLC
“Kieran is very personable. He’s easy to deal with and work with. Statewide is very professional and reasonable, and the quality of the work is really good. Pricing is good, and the level of communication and professionalism is high.”
Consultant David Horton, Building Envelope Technologies
“They’re good communicators They return calls within hours – sometimes minutes. They never let me down. (Kieran Fitzgibbon) is personally involved and communicates closely with all parties. He has a way of getting ahead of issues before they come up.”
Larry Ouellette, Managing Member, Moisture Protection Consultants
“Kieran took full responsibility for everything on the project. There was seamless interaction. We never had to worry about someone taking responsibility.”
Dale Gienapp, Principal, Gienapp Architects, LLC
“He understands the construction sequence and the duration of things. He really thought through who needed to be where and when they needed to be there to keep the process moving.”
Dale Gienapp, Principal, Gienapp Architects, LLC
“All of the work was done to my satisfaction, the architect’s satisfaction, the code compliance officer’s satisfaction and the satisfaction of the Brookline Building Department. Statewide did a wonderful job.”
Larry Ouellette, Managing Member, Moisture Protection Consultants
“Kieran Fitzgibbon has always been extremely good to work with. He definitely knows his stuff.”
Kathleen Carlo, Property Manager, Dannin Management
“They’re a very good company. They’re family owned and operated. Kieran and John learned from their dad. It’s something they grew up with. As a result, they’re very detail oriented. They always try to be a couple of steps ahead to foresee possible issues. And the quality of their work is very good.”
Bob Keenan, Principal, Building Envelope Consulting, Inc.
“If I had a brick house that needed work, I would want Kieran to do it.”
Kathleen Carlo, Property Manager, Dannin Management
“What I like is that they’re honest, ethical and practical. Over the years, I’ve dealt with scores of vendors, but Statewide RM stands out. They advise us when we can delay maintenance in places where the building envelope is sound. They’re experts and, frankly, they save our association money. That gives me real comfort.”
Debbie Davie, Vice President, Brigs, LLCarrington Property Management
“It’s unprecedented to have company owners involved in a job like 988 Memorial Drive on a daily basis. They’re always available and maintain an excellent level of communication with me. Close monitoring of the work ensures that the complexities that invariably crop up in dealing with historic structures like 988 Memorial Drive are properly managed.”
Dwight Johnson, Senior Vice President, Thayer & Associates, Inc.
“Statewide RM followed specifications and plans and did a super job. They ‘hit the ground running,’ met or exceeded schedules, kept to their pricing and handled special situations fairly. The work is dirty and demanding, but they’re real gentlemen and their work is absolutely high quality.”
Dwight Johnson, Senior Vice President, Thayer & Associates, Inc.
“Statewide RM’s technical prowess and workmanship are outstanding. Tell them once and they execute perfectly and follow through all the way.”
Edward Moll, Principal, Structures North Consulting Engineers, Inc.
“Even the most difficult critics had their concerns addressed. They came back and gave the work rave reviews.”
“Kieran did everything right. He set a high standard. There was no real punch list, because Statewide captured everything. That doesn’t happen very often. I want Statewide to bid on all of our future projects!”
Lisa Harrington, Director, Building Conservation Associates, Inc.
“The project was completed as smoothly as it could possibly go. The big thing for me was the collaboration and teamwork. Everyone did a great job working together. Everything was on point.”
