A and G Association

A and G Association is a North Reading, Massachusetts general contractor whose reviews cluster around one job type above all: the basement gut-and-rebuild. Homeowners describe full remodels -- new ceilings and walls, relocated plumbing, new electrical, a rebuilt bathroom with tile and even a jacuzzi -- coming in on schedule and on budget, with credit going to founder Jonathan and his wife Eddelyn Gonzalez, whom BuildZoom names as the registered owner. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration (license 201091) is active, verified against the state registry. The written record runs deep -- 25 reviews across Google and Angi from 2020 through mid-2026, most of them five stars, and the specifics repeat: attic finishes with new floors, drywall and electrical; a kitchen renovation praised for close attention to detail; ice-dam roof damage repaired and left "better than before"; even a concrete boat ramp built to spec, with rebar spacing and slab thickness worked out ahead of pouring. The last six months keep the same tone -- responsive, communicative, no negatives. The one clear miss: a 2022 Angi review describes A&G abandoning a sheetrock job after four weeks -- about 60% of the walls done, with holes and cracked seams, the ceiling never hung, and a text at 11pm the night before the next scheduled day saying they would not finish. It is the only 1-star review on file, and it is also the one review the company left off its own website, even though it republishes eight of its other Angi reviews as testimonials verbatim. Worth asking about before signing: the website's homepage claims "over two decades of experience," which does not square with the company's own about page ("since 2018") or its 8-years-in-business self-report -- pin down how long they have actually been operating. Angi also files this profile at a Haverhill address rather than the North Reading one on the license and the company's own site, though the reviews and owner names line up, so it looks like a stale listing rather than a different business. For a basement or attic remodel, the reviews point to a crew that plans the work out and finishes on budget -- just get a firm written timeline, given the one review where that broke down.
