What Our Clients are Saying...

"My wife and I moved to Worcester, MA from Pennsylvania and didn’t have a clue who to call to do a major house renovation. Our realtor recommended Paul Kuokkanen from Compass Builders. 

When we met Paul, he showed up on time and we could tell right away, after discussing our project, that he was very knowledgeable. So we decided to take a chance. 

Paul has not disappointed us. The quality of his workmanship is one of the best we have experienced. He is trustworthy, extremely neat and respectful of our home, offered options on different ways to accomplish the same goal, and finished the projects completely in acceptable timeframes. 

We highly recommend Paul and his Team to anyone who appreciates top quality and peace of mind.”

"Paul, Thanks so much for the outstanding work you did during the renovations you made to our home during the summer and fall of 2008. The project was something that we had dreamed about for quite some time: new two-car garage, new roofing, new siding, new windows and more. The outcome surpassed our expectations! From our initial discussions with you until the final task was complete, we always felt at ease due to your excellent and continuous communication, frank and enlightening discussion of the pros and cons of various options, outstanding project management skills and quality workmanship.

Due to your wide array of capabilities, your were able to accommodate us with a number of add-ons, including a window between the kitchen and living room and a back porch that has added more functionality and enjoyment to our home.

"We have worked with Paul and his team at Compass Builders to renovate nearly every room in our house over almost 10 years, starting with building our barn. Paul is extremely focused on details and has ensured that all the work he is associated with, even indirectly, is of a high quality. An example of this was when we ordered a custom door, which we had asked him to install - he identified defects in the construction and worked with the manufacturer to have the door replaced without us even having to get involved. Paul and his team are professional, timely and responsive and as a result, we continue to go back to them for each new project with confidence in the quality of the end result. I would recommend him to anyone for any project - big or small!"

"I hired Compass Builders to do several small projects throughout my home. I was impressed with their professional conduct and quality of work. The work team was extremely clean and besides seeing the daily progress of the work, some days it was hard to tell that a team of contractors had been in my home all day. This was a welcome change to some of the other contractors I have hired in the past. I will definitely be using compass builders for my future home improvement needs."

- Marybeth M.

"We had Paul add a 12x16 addition on to an existing 15x15 room to give us a bigger family room. He is very easy to work with and not afraid to make recommendations to help save money or add something new to the construction build. His craftsmanship is outstanding and he stayed on schedule and within the budget. Any requests we had that were changes in scope were clearly defined and changes in the project cost were discussed while the project went along, so there were no surprises at the end of the construction build. I highly recommended him for any project large or small."

- Mark J.

"Over the last nine years Compass Builders has remodeled two bathrooms and installed new hardwood flooring for me. Most recently the owner responded to assist me with an emergent repair without hesitation or delay. The quality of their workmanship is outstanding, their work ethics are impeccable,  they are timely, knowledgeable and tidy. It is with great satisfaction that I write this review!"

- Shirley R.

"Paul is the consummate builder. He did a garage, roof replacement, all windows replacement, added an open porch, and came back a few years later to enclose the porch into a 3 season room. An artist in wood. Only mistake was when I didn't listen to his ideas."
