Andover Renovation Solutions, Inc.

Andover Renovation Solutions is a Woburn design-build remodeling company whose public profile covers additions, kitchens and baths, major renovations, exterior work, and architectural design. Angi and HomeAdvisor list 17 projects and eight ratings averaging 3.7 stars, while BuildZoom shows 46 projects. The written accounts are dated, spanning 2014 to 2023, and they split sharply. In 2018, a homeowner praised the team's punctuality, explanations, and professional approach; 2017 reviews described work completed on time and on budget. But two 2023 Angi reviews describe a $20,000 deposit followed by no contact and a project left incomplete after payment. A 2018 Houzz reviewer described paying $1,500 for architectural plans without receiving the plans or a bid after four months, with repeated calls unanswered. The most important item to resolve before any contract is licensing. The Massachusetts registry identifies the company's Home Improvement Contractor license 128016 as revoked; BuildZoom reports the revocation date as July 12, 2026, after an expiration date of February 10, 2023. Houzz separately lists license MA 079181, so ask the company and the state licensing authority to clarify the current status and which registration applies. This contractor's listed scope fits substantial remodeling and additions, but the dated complaints make safeguards essential: verify the license directly, request current insurance documentation, use milestone-based payments, and get the scope, schedule, permits, and cancellation terms in writing before work begins.
