Adams + Beasley Associates

Adams + Beasley Associates is a Carlisle-based, high-end design-build firm that Eric Adams founded to do custom home construction, historic restoration and additions across Greater Boston and MetroWest, with an ongoing estate-care service the company offers after a project hands over. Eric Adams personally holds an active Massachusetts construction supervisor license, verified against the state registry. The firm's most detailed reviews describe large-scale, high-end work: a 2026 reviewer described a full gut renovation of a third-floor primary bedroom and bath in a 100-plus-year-old farmhouse, calling the modern-comfort-meets-historic-house work something the team does well, and another 2026 reviewer engaged the firm for what they called a major renovation and praised the craftsmanship and the team's professionalism throughout. That kind of large, design-driven project tracks with the firm's Houzz profile — a 5.0-star average across 25 reviews and 24 project galleries, with typical job costs from $75,000 to $10 million, plus a Best of Boston Home award in 2016 and a Remodelers Association of Greater Boston gold award in 2013. Google tells a noisier story: its rating sits at 3.3 from just seven ratings, pulled down by two one-star entries that read very differently from the praise elsewhere. One, from 2024, gives no detail beyond "very bad." The other, from March 2026, doesn't describe renovation work at all — it complains about a marked company truck driving recklessly on Route 290 in Worcester during rush hour. Neither reads like the kind of specific craftsmanship complaint that shows up nowhere else in the record. Better Business Bureau lists the company at an A+ grade (not accredited) and 16 years in business. For a large custom-build, historic restoration or high-end renovation in the Boston/MetroWest area, this is a licensed, award-recognized firm with a substantial, mostly five-star track record on the platform where its work is reviewed in detail — worth weighing against the pair of thin, largely unexplained one-star ratings on Google, which don't describe the same kind of work the rest of the record does.
