Ambience Construction

Ambience Construction started with one run-down two-family house in Cambridge. David Matthews — who the company says came out of a family in the demolition business — renovated and expanded it in 1992 and built the firm from there. It is still owner-operated by Matthews out of Cambridge, with 34 years in business by the company's own count. Kitchens and bathrooms are the stated specialty, alongside wider interior and exterior remodeling for homeowners in Cambridge and Boston. On Google the company holds 4 stars from four ratings, and its Houzz profile lists the same Cambridge general contractor under Matthews' name, with matching phone and website and a Houzz badge. One thing to settle before you sign anything: a July 2026 check of the Massachusetts registry showed the home improvement contractor registration held by Ambience Construction Corporation, #105181, as expired. Ask whether it has been renewed since, and get the current number in writing before any deposit changes hands. For a Cambridge or Boston kitchen or bath renovation with a contractor who has been at it since 1992, this is a reasonable name to put on the list. Confirm the registration and current insurance, and ask for two or three recent jobs of similar scope you can look at.
