Abiatar Hardscape, which also trades as Abiatar Construction, Inc., is a general contracting, hardscape and masonry company in Everett, Massachusetts, run by Joe Sa and his son Fabio. The company's website says the business began in 1990; its Houzz profile lists an ICPI interlocking-paver certification, a Best of Houzz 2017 customer service award, and a long menu of services from paver patios and walls to basement, bathroom and kitchen remodels, decks, additions and garages. Houzz shows a 5.0 rating from 7 reviews, and every written account is five stars, though the newest is from 2021. In June 2021 a homeowner called Abiatar the best construction and renovation company they had hired, describing a complex renovation where problems were met with workable solutions. In 2019 reviewers described pavers, a cedar fence and new steps installed with a fair price and thorough cleanup; a 400-square-foot basement finished into two rooms and a bathroom with a spiral staircase in wood and iron; and a roughly 100-foot border wall plus siding, trim and paint. In 2016 an architect wrote of four projects with Joe and Fabio in Cambridge, all on time and on a fair budget to a high technical and aesthetic standard; another Cambridge homeowner had a rock-and-slate front wall built for the quoted price and in the committed time frame; and a third replaced a wood deck with a paver-and-bluestone patio with a built-in grill designed from the customer's ideas and Joe's suggestions. One agency action is on record: Good Jobs First's Violation Tracker lists a 2019 workplace safety or health violation against Abiatar Hardscape, Inc. with a $5,500 penalty. The listing gives the year, category and amount only. For a paver patio, stone wall or steps, and for a father-and-son crew that also takes on interior renovations, the accounts from 2016 to 2021 are consistently strong on price, schedule and craftsmanship. Because none of them is recent, ask for references from the last year or two, and ask about the 2019 safety citation.

Abiatar Construction was the best construction and renovation company we have ever hired. They were extremely professional, always on time and when a problem developed, they found amazing solutions that satisfied all of our criteria and concerns. This was a complex renovation in an old home and the results were stunning, way beyond our expectations. We would not hesitate to hire them again.
Joe, his son Fabio conduct all phases of a project in a very professional manner. They are highly skilled, with excellent craftsmanship, explained every tasks they completed, gave a fair price and were thorough with cleanup. They installed pavers, a cedar fence and new steps. I highly recommend them without any reservations and have already referred them to several people I know.
I hired Abiatar to finish our (unfinished) basement. Our basement is basically a 400 sq ft rectangle, and I knew that I wanted two rooms plus a bathroom (shower, sink, toilet). I also wanted a spiral staircase, and I had a good idea of the style (wood treads + iron hardware). Abiatar came in and worked closely with me to design the space and guide decisions on the space, electrical, water, and heating. (Our basement had evolved into an electrical mess, and the water system was also messy.) Abiatar brought in extremely skilled electricians and plumbers to assist. In the early stage, I decided to replace our Frankenstein boiler and hot water heater with an efficient heating system (at their guidance). Another challenging design decision was the bathroom. I did not have much space to work with, and Abiatar helped me design the smallest possible bathroom (within code and usability). Then the work began. Abiatar's craftsmen constructed the frame, moved (and removed) wires, moved pipes, framed, constructed walls and ceiling, installed electricity, installed the new plumbing and heating system, installed the flooring. AND, the spiral staircase (which I ordered from Paragon) was installed exactly to my specifications. At this point, I want to stress that Abiatar went the extra mile to ensure that they created exactly the spiral staircase that I wanted. Another example of their professionalism was the bathroom. I chose a retro style with challenging tile. They painstakingly installed the tile and created the bathroom I had in mind. I cannot stress enough how Abiatar continually made the extra effort on every detail to ensure that I got the basement that I was envisioning. Highly recommended!
We Hired Abiatar Construction for a few projects. one was a border wall that was approx. 100 feet long and the other was replacing sliding, trim and paint. Both of the Job where completed in a timely fashion. Joe's staff was professional and helpful with helping with choices. Very Happy with both jobs!
I am an architect who has completed four projects with Joe and Fabio of Abiatar Hardscape; three at our office and one with a valued client, both in Cambridge. All have been successful, being completed on time, within a fair budget and to a high technical level and aesthetic quality. What I have come to appreciate about Abiatar is a certain passion for their work and clear understanding that in time a good project, well executed, begets another. I am looking forward to the next opportunity.
