Testimonials

We purchased a new construction home in Needham, MA from Garret and Sara Federow in summer of 2020. Throughout the build process, they were a pleasure to deal with – very responsive and with great perspective. They are both extremely professional and perfectionists at what they do. Refer to the highlights below:

QUALITY – You can tell Garrett has been doing this a long time. He really thinks of everything and makes tweaks along the way to ensure everything is just right. This includes major items, like the placement of water, sewage, and gas systems/manifolds — to moderate items such as the placement of a gas rough in for the grill — to smaller finishes such as the trim work around toilet water supply lines.

TIMELINESS – Our house was in construction during the COVID-19 crisis and during that time, he was able to maintain an on-track schedule and secure all products needed to complete the property. In fact, we actually closed ~1 month early.

RESPONSIVENESS – During the build process, both Garrett and Sara were extremely responsive, we met on zoom multiple times throughout the build process (we were remote) and were able to make key decisions quickly. Every decision we made was implemented based on our specifications

FINISHES & DESIGN – Both Sara and Garrett helped us immensely in this area. As noted above, our build occurred during the COVID-19 crisis. As such, most retail outlets were closed and we were unable to look at tile/hardware/countertops in person. They worked with us to understand our style preferences and provided multiple idea options for us to consider. We are thrilled with the selections we made and how they helped inform the finishes in the house.

We have been in the house now for about 3 months and have fallen in love with it. I am in contact with Garrett regularly with various questions and he has been great in providing guidance/information where needed. I would very much recommend engaging with Federow Development.

We had a great experience working with Federow. They built us a gorgeous new home. The process was seamless, and working with the Federow’s was a joy. They are professional, and very knowledgeable. They completed our house on time during the pandemic! A year later, we are still happy with our choice. If we were to do it again, we’d hire Federow in a heart beat!

My wife and I could not be more happy with our new home and the whole experience during construction. Garrett, Sara and the team around them are incredible. They take tremendous pride in their work, they’re personable and just absolute pros at what they do. I’d strongly recommend them to anyone considering a new build or major renovation.

We purchased our home from Federow Development and I highly recommend Garrett Federow and his company, Federow Development for any new construction home or renovation. Our home was under construction when we went entered into a purchase contract and 7 months later as promised, our home was completed on time. Garrett and his team worked with our family to customize every element of our home. Garrett is so detailed, smart, patient and knowledgeable. He is not just a builder, but he understands every element of home construction, style and design. He helped me customize my kitchen and even made us a custom oven hood to create the look of a magazine photo I had from Architectural Digest. Garrett worked to bring in some European appliances which made installation more challenging for his team – but he was willing to take it on. He worked with me to make my exterior patio larger than the original size spec’d. Garrett took down walls from the original floor plan when we asked. He showed me by example, what certain elements would look like in our home by bringing us to see other homes he was building in town. He helped me choose and price out appliances. Garrett brought us into his home to show us examples of work that he has done for himself. There was no question that Garrett or his team left unanswered. Whether you are hands on like me and like to be involved in every decision or you are looking for a a company who can make decisions for you, I highly recommend Federow development.

Garrett @Federow Development came recommended to us from a friend for our basement renovation. He was building the house at the end of our street and also lives in Needham so I was confident in selecting him. His estimate was very fair and he started/completed all work according to schedule.

We had a good idea of what we wanted, but offered suggestions that I’m glad we listened to. The quality of work and responsiveness throughout the project was excellent. I have dealt with numerous contractors having owned many properties and I can say that Garrett has unequivocally been the best to work with.

Garrett was amazing in helping us design our new home. Every technical and aesthetic question/request was answered and addressed. Garrett’s tremendous experience and knowledge made the building and completion of our home very straightforward, and he continues to help and engage with us to ensure continued satisfaction. Federow Development gets an A+ in my book.
