Allied Group

Allied Group is a Watertown outfit run by Marc Silva, and the pattern across six years of reviews is a general contractor that homeowners keep for the next job. Angi and HomeAdvisor both put it at 5.0 across 28 ratings, and the reviews are still arriving — three landed in the last six months. Bathrooms are the most common project. A December 2023 reviewer with one small, old, leaking bathroom needed the job done inside two weeks and got a complete renovation — new floor, ceiling, lights and vanity, a medicine-cabinet build-out, shower tiling and tub, toilet and vanity installation — plus a final house cleaning Marc arranged. A June 2023 customer had a tub converted to a walk-in shower, a job that pulled in carpentry, plumbing, tile and electrical work, and credited the team approach with keeping each trade available on time. The range goes well past bathrooms. In April 2024 a homeowner described a basement finishing project, down to a purpose-built shoe closet. A 2022 landlord had a Worcester two-family taken floor to ceiling — failing wiring and water lines replaced, new HVAC, a new deck, every bathroom remodelled, new appliances and floors. A June 2024 reviewer had front steps refurbished with railings and risers replaced and painted, noting the carpenters and painter both did good work. In July 2021 a homeowner had painting quoted on a Saturday and finished by Wednesday, at a price more competitive than the other quotes. The habits reviewers single out are estimating speed, daily communication and honesty about cost. One February 2024 customer, on a tile job that grew when rotted subfloor turned up, was given a three-day estimate, got a three-day job, and text updates each day. A tradesperson of twenty years writing in April 2022 said Allied was the only company out of many quotes whose pricing was spot on, and that a deck estimated at close to a week finished in two and a half days. One review is worth reading closely. In April 2026 a bathroom customer amended an earlier review to say Allied had reached out and resolved the outstanding issues quickly and professionally, and that the bathroom turned out beautifully. It is the only sign in the record of a job going sideways, and it shows the company chasing it down rather than leaving it — but it also means problems do happen, so agree a punch-list process before you start. The jobs behind these reviews span $400 to $650,000, so this is a shop used for both small repairs and gut renovations. For anything large, ask to see a recent project of comparable scope and confirm which trades are subcontracted, since several reviewers describe subs being coordinated rather than in-house.
