Allston Contractors, Inc. is a Boston-based general contractor specializing in custom home builds, additions and ADUs, and kitchen and bathroom remodels. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is active, and it says it has 11 years of experience in high-end residential remodeling and new construction. The bulk of its 20 reviews describe substantial, well-managed projects. In a 2024 review, a customer described a six-to-seven-month home expansion that "went smoothly and quickly" despite its complexity; in a January 2024 review, another described an elevator addition that started the day permits arrived and proceeded on steady progress; in a 2023 review, a customer credited project managers who are civil engineering graduates with coordinating a full kitchen transformation; and in a March 2025 review, a customer described an unfinished basement turned into a gym that came out "much nicer than we had anticipated." Several reviewers specifically praise the crew — led on multiple jobs by a manager named Juliano — for responsiveness, clean worksites, and problem-solving through the surprises of renovating an old house. A 2020 Angi review and several more from 2022 describe kitchen remodels, bathroom additions, and painting work completed to satisfaction. A few reviews complicate that picture. In a 2025 review rated five stars, a customer described real friction over pricing and expectations on a lighting job, including an electrician who tried to charge double for a chandelier install — a case where the written account reads more critically than the star rating suggests. In a 2022 review, a kitchen and sunroom remodel client said most subcontractors were good but flagged issues with timely completion. And a December 2023 review, rated one star, complained the company's website didn't work and that mailings carried no contractor license number — an administrative gripe rather than a complaint about the work itself. For a substantial renovation, addition, or new build in the Boston area, this is a general contractor with a long, mostly detailed record of managing complex projects well; on any job involving subcontracted trades like electrical, it's worth getting pricing confirmed in writing before work starts.
I had a fantastic experience with this general contractor. They were professional, reliable, and completed the project on time. The workmanship was excellent, and they paid attention to every detail. Communication was clear throughout, and they kept the worksite clean. I highly recommend this contractor to anyone looking for skilled and trustworthy renovation services. 🏠
I worked with Allston Contractors to update my lights throughout my home. I met with Julianno and his electrician. There was miscommunication with pricing as well as expectation around the work. For example, the electrician tried to charge me double for the chandelier installation while that was not included in the contract (Cruz Electricians) as well is requiring me to patch up work around the newly updated lights. I was really surprised when I got the invoice and spoke to Julianno’s team. Julianno called me right away and agreed that requiring patch work was not in the original scope of work and sent over his own painter at his expense. His painter was at my home for two days repainting the entire ceiling basement without any compensation. Julianno also honored the original price agreement as well. Allston contractors also updated my foggy windows in my other home. His handyman came and fixed the windows without any issues..quick turnaround with a reasonable pricing. It is rare to find someone in the construction market who won’t leave you high and dry or change the final price (bait and switch). I have worked with several contractors and subs in the past and these guys are the real deal. They follow through, make sure the promised scope is done to high quality work, and will stand by what is the truth and not what is convenient/profitable for the company. I have been impressed with how they dealt with this situation.
Allston Contractors built a gym in our unfinished basement. They did wonderful work - the final room is much nicer than we had anticipated it could be. They were communicative and very friendly, and kept to the timelines we had discussed.

I’ve been working with Allston Contractors on an extensive renovation of my house. Their crew is responsive and patient (that’s important to me.) The quality of their work is superb! And, they are problem solvers - in an old house, it’s inevitable that you will be faced with the unexpected. I’m so happy I decided to work with them.
