Adams + Beasley Associates

Adams + Beasley Associates builds and renovates high-end homes out of Carlisle, working across Boston and MetroWest. Founded by Eric Adams, the firm pairs design with general contracting and historic restoration, adds custom millwork, and keeps an estate-care service running after handover. The BBB records it as 16 years in business with an A+ grade. The work is substantial: Houzz puts typical job costs between $75,000 and $10 million and shows 24 project galleries across Boston, Lincoln, Wellesley, Needham and Carlisle, while BuildZoom counts 15 permitted projects and lists a Construction Supervisor licence as active. Clients who describe finished work are emphatic. A March 2026 reviewer had the firm gut and renovate the third-floor primary bedroom and bath of a 100-year-old farmhouse, then brought them back a couple of years later for the kitchen and family room, crediting weekly project-manager meetings for the sense that their house was the priority. Another March 2026 client called the craftsmanship on a major renovation unparalleled. The firm is rated 5.0 from 25 reviews on Houzz and holds Best of Boston Home 2016 for best custom home builder north of Boston plus a 2013 gold award from the Remodelers Association of Greater Boston. Two one-star Google reviews pull the Google average down, and neither describes a construction job: one from March 2026 complains about a marked company truck driving recklessly on Route 290 in Worcester, the other from October 2024 says only "Very bad." Worth knowing they exist, but neither tells you anything about how a renovation went. A commenter in a March 2021 r/boston design-build thread listed the firm among Greater Boston firms worth looking at. If you are planning a large renovation or a custom build in the Boston-to-Concord corridor and are budgeting accordingly, this is a firm to shortlist; ask about who your project manager will be, since the weekly-meeting cadence is what the strongest reviews single out.
