Almar Building & Remodeling has been doing whole-house design-build work out of Hanover since 1959 — kitchens, bathrooms, basements, and additions, with windows and doors folded in as part of its exterior renovations. The company says it's now run by a third generation: Allison Quinn Guido, granddaughter of co-founder Gerald Quinn, leads as CEO alongside Craig Guido, who oversees project development. On Google, the reviews land solidly: 4.8 stars across 23 ratings, and a broader look at its review history back to 2022 across several sources comes out strongly positive overall. Beyond Google, the picture gets thinner. The Better Business Bureau gives it an A+ grade, though Almar hasn't sought formal accreditation there, and most other directory mentions are single-digit review counts rather than deep histories — one shows just a single review, another an 18-photo portfolio with no detailed rating breakdown. An older Porch listing is a clear outlier: 3.67 out of 5 across only three reviews, well below what Google shows, though the sample there is small enough that it shouldn't be weighted too heavily. The work itself, per Almar's own account, spans the full range of a South Shore remodeling project rather than one trade — coordinating kitchen, bath, basement, and addition jobs start to finish, with exterior window and door replacement as part of the same projects. Before booking, it's worth asking which of the available reviews and ratings reflect a project similar to yours, since the strong Google average doesn't fully square with the sparser, lower marks turning up on a couple of other listings. For a full-scope renovation with a company that's been at it for decades and is still run by the family that built it, Almar is a reasonable one to call — just confirm current pricing, timeline, and availability directly, since none of that surfaces in what's public.

We used Almar Building & Remodeling for our basement renovation this year. We were extremely satisfied with the work they did. We appreciated the hands-on support starting from Estimate Process to the Final Product. We loved the ability to work with their designer; this helped guide our choices and make the process seamless. It was a total gut, the before and after looks amazing. The Project Manager was transparent throughout the whole process; it is an old house so as expected there were changes that we needed to make. They walked us through everything and made sure that we understood our options and next steps. We would recommend them to our friends and family.

We're so glad we went with Almar for our window project! We have a quirky and unusual house structure (brick, cement block, for example) and knew that replacing windows would require true construction expertise vs just popping windows in and out. Almar delivered the expertise and flexibility that only comes from knowing what you're doing. We know that no home construction project is without a few bumps, but all things considered, Almar really did a phenomenal job keeping those bumps to a minimum or dealing with them swiftly when they occurred, and the job moving along. Everyone was courteous and friendly, receptive to communication, and did their best to clean up daily so we could live as best we could in a construction zone. I highly recommend the Almar team for any home construction project you might have!

Almar Building was a pleasure to work with. They replaced 17 windows and did a great job. Bob, Mark, Tom & Owen were awesome to work with and the job they did was perfect. Thank you Almar team!

I chose Almar to renovate my kitchen and 3 bathrooms in my condo. Everyone was very professional helpful and courteous. The workmanship was outstanding and the communication was excellent. I would definitely use them again.
