A&E Construction Boston is a small outfit built around one name, Alex, whose reviewers describe a run of major structural projects rather than small fixes — a rebuilt side wall, a full deck build, and a siding project. In a January 2026 review, one customer described a five-year relationship with Alex that started when he stepped in to finish a siding project after another contractor left them in a bad spot; since then he's handled several bigger projects for them, including rebuilding a side wall and building a deck, and the reviewer called him flexible, friendly, and dependable — the kind of reliability they said is hard to find. A separate customer, an interior designer who has hired A&E both personally and for client work, described Alex in a 2022 review as easy to communicate with and someone who gets the job done. Both accounts on file are five-star and span 2022 to 2026, describing structural carpentry and exterior work done well. Worth confirming licensing and getting a written scope before a larger structural project like a wall rebuild.
We’ve built a strong relationship with Alex and his team since 2020. Alex first stepped in and saved us from a scam contractor by taking over and completing our siding project. Since then, he’s helped us with several major projects, including rebuilding one side wall of our house, building our deck, and much more. Alex is always flexible, friendly, and extremely dependable. We’ve learned firsthand how hard it is to find a truly reliable contractor, and Alex is exactly that. We’re genuinely grateful for everything he’s done for us. I’m honestly surprised he doesn’t have more reviews. He’s an experienced contractor who has successfully handled many large projects. But of course like he said, he's too busy to care about if people write reviews or not :-)
I have used A &E construction personally and for business purposes as an interior designer. By far as been the best experience yet. Alex was great to work with. Easy to communicate and gets the job done. I highly. recommend them.
