The Holland Companies

I did not use them but the did a large scale renovation at a neighbors. Took about 2 years for the building to be finished. Holland did what they wanted, i tried to contact them by phone, email and letter. Never a reply, the damaged the sidewalks, roadways, trash and garbage. They will get away with whatever possible

Holland remodeled my neighbors and had 15 guys at the house - 7am sharp every day including Saturdays and Sunday’s for a whole year. Terrible terrible people

While selling our home the inspector indicated that there was a problem with our heating system that required a contractor to fix. We reached out to the Holland Companies via our real estate broker and while the estimate ballooned from ~$60 to a final bill of $530, we were satisfied with the fix... until the heat was again unable to be turned on by the buyers during the walkthrough. The plumber came back out with no notice, which we were grateful for, was finally able to get the heat turned on, and our house closed! A day after the closing we received an additional invoice for $200 for 2.5 hours of work. While the information above paints the picture of a perhaps less than competent, somewhat unscrupulous, and generally mediocre contractor, the final exchange between myself and the owner, Joe, added enough to push me to write this and plead with any and all customers not to seek out the services of the Holland Company. I intended on calling the company to ask for an explanation of the rationale for additional invoice specifically why following the manufacturer instructions to override a temperature sensor and pressing the "on" button was billed out at 2 hours and instead was confronted with accusations of "welching" on my bill and a barrage of misogyny that has no place in a customer service industry. Joe repeatedly talked over me, called me "honey", "sweetheart " and "love", and when I told him that I was dismayed at his lack of decorum and would be writing a negative review, he responded sarcastically with "Ooooohhhhhh, I'm going to be on the internet? Big deal, I don't care." Additionally, Joe indicated they are not in the "service" industry and was doing us a "favor" through our real estate agent, and I have no idea why he agreed to provide a service if he's not in the service industry. I am simply a consumer looking to understand a bill. I paid the bill, as I do all my bills, as originally sent, but was unhappy with the back-and-forth on the fix and more incredulous at how I was treated when I called the company to discuss what I didn't understand about that bill. Well Honey, welcome to the internet and for all of you prospective clients out there, please run don't walk away from doing business with this company.

BRAINTREE – Residents in the Braintree Square area don’t want to see a large-scale, multi-family development in their neighborhood. Nearly 150 residents packed a meeting Thursday night of the North Braintree Civic Association at the Thayer Public Library to voice their concerns about the development plans. Braintree Mayor Joseph Sullivan said so far no plans have been filed by Boston-based Holland Construction and he doesn’t expect any in the near future. The company purchased 2.4 acres of land off Washington Street and Storrs Avenue more than three years ago and is considering plans to develop it. Kelly Moore, the association’s president, said he has met with Paul Holland of the company recently, with the session arranged by Sullivan. Moore said Holland is considering building 76 apartments in a three-story building with an underground parking garage on the site of the closed auto body shop adjacent to the square’s municipal parking lot. Moore said the plans call for 11 townhouse condominiums to be built on an area now used for parking by the Archbishop Williams High School athletic complex and Temple B’nai Shalom. Access to the apartment building would be from both Washington Street and Storrs Avenue, Moore said. Paul Holland from Holland Construction was invited to attend the meeting, but declined, Moore said. Sullivan said that he has concerns about the proposal, but said he wants to wait until a plan was submitted. “I’m open to having a conversation that’s constructive,” he said. “We’re not going to roll over for anyone.” Moore felt it’s better to give the developer a sense of neighborhood opinion. “If it is going to be opposed, I’d rather the developer know it and adjust his plans accordingly,” he said. Under current zoning, the land can house between 22 and 24 multi-family units. The scale of the project has neighbors worried that Holland might submit a proposal under Chapter 40B, the state’s so-called anti-snob zoning law, which would allow more units on the site and give town officials less say over the plans. Residents also wondered what impact the possible development would have on traffic, and whether it would lead to more drivers on neighborhood streets to get around the frequent congestion on Washington Street.

Holland does phenomenal work. The attention to detail is unrivaled and the end result is quality.
