Abrams Builders

Abrams Builders is Matthew Abrams' design-build shop in Brookline, built around luxury kitchen and bath work, whole-home renovations, and historic restorations across Greater Boston. The company says its roots go back to Abrams personally renovating and restoring historic single-family homes, brownstones, and mill buildings, work that grew into today's practice covering Boston, Newton, and Brookline. Abrams describes himself as a licensed general contractor, a real estate broker, and a LEED-accredited professional. On Google, the shop sits at a perfect 5 stars, though the sample is still small — five ratings, four with actual reviews attached. The clearest thread running through them is repeat business from people who already know the work: Ken Schaefer, owner of Right Angle Kitchens, says he's sent Abrams "countless kitchen projects... over the last 20 years," and a January 2026 homeowner credits him with clear timelines, costs, and follow-through on a full renovation. None of the four reviews raise a complaint. One thing worth asking about directly: a January review names him as "Matt at Abrams Properties" rather than Abrams Builders — worth clarifying which entity would actually be on your contract. Beyond the Google reviews and the company's own site, there isn't yet a deeper trail to check against — no BBB or Houzz history turned up, so this read leans on a still-small sample. His Massachusetts home improvement contractor license (#201996) checks out active with the state. For a design-build kitchen, bath, or historic-home project in the Brookline/Newton area, Abrams looks like a reasonable call — just ask for a couple of recent client references given how few reviews are on the books so far.
