Verified record
Absolute General Contracting is a full-service general contracting company based in Milton, Massachusetts, founded in 2000 by Kieran McKinney and Gary MacDonald. The company handles remodeling, additions, kitchens, finish carpentry, structural repairs, and disaster restoration for homeowners, developers, and investors across the Boston area, and holds an active Home Improvement Contractor license verified with the Massachusetts license board. The documented track record, while limited to two reviews from 2013 and 2015, is uniformly strong. One client credited Kieran with performing many projects for their family over the years, describing consistently excellent work and a great attitude, and said they'd recommend him with great success. A more recent client who added a master bedroom, bath, and family room called the crew dependable, timely, and respectful -- and noted that their own hired plumber and electrician, with no reason to flatter another contractor, independently said the work was some of the best they'd seen. The company is also described as a frequently recommended go-to general contractor in a Milton neighborhood Facebook group. Beyond the reviews, an extensive building-permit history spanning Milton and nearby towns backs up the reputation: kitchen and bathroom remodels, window replacements, additions, garage rebuilds, and new single- and multi-family construction, along with at least one commercial buildout. BuildZoom ranks the company in the top 20% of licensed Massachusetts contractors on its scoring system. Worth knowing: the documented review count is thin -- just two reviews on file despite over two decades in business -- so a prospective client should ask for recent references directly. A HomeAdvisor listing under the same business name also shows a Boston, MA address that doesn't match the company's confirmed Milton headquarters, which is worth clarifying before assuming it's a second location. For homeowners planning a kitchen renovation, addition, or finish-carpentry project in the Milton/Boston area, the available record points to a well-established, licensed contractor with a track record of hands-on ownership and satisfied clients.

We contacted Kieran via email and received a call back and a home visit in the same day. We are adding on a master bed and bath as well as a family room. Kieran and his co-workers have been dependable, timely and respectful. We had our own plumber and electrician for the renovation/addition and both commented that the work of Absolute is some of the best they have seen.
Kieran at absolute has performed many construction projects for me and my family... Always the best work done with a great attitude from kieran and his workers. Will use again and have recommended with great success to other clients.
