Aponte Contracting

Aponte Contracting is Israel Aponte's general contracting and handyman business, based in New Bedford, MA and serving the South Coast — New Bedford, Dartmouth, Fairhaven, Fall River, Westport, Acushnet, Taunton, Mattapoisett, and Marion. The company says it's family-owned and veteran-owned, with more than 30 years in business. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is active. The Angi history behind that goes deep — 27 ratings averaging 4.6 stars, 89% of them five stars, with reviews stretching from 2017 to early 2026. The jobs described are the kind a homeowner calls a generalist for rather than a full renovation: a bedroom ceiling replacement with window reframing and trim work in a June 2025 review (the reviewer called the pricing fair and the fix creative), a deck railing repaired within two days in January 2025, a storm door and kitchen door knob replaced at a reasonable price in February 2025, and siding plus some mold cleanup handled with what a November 2024 review called close attention to detail. Older reviews going back to 2017 cover similar work — brick stairs, a reshingled shed, a door jamb repair, power washing — and several of them mention quick responses and being on time. One 2022 review mentioned a hiccup after a brick-stairs job; the reviewer said Aponte made it right once they raised it. The Better Business Bureau gives the company an A+ grade. Its Angi FAQ notes the business doesn't offer emergency services or warranties — worth asking about directly for a job with a tight timeline or a workmanship guarantee in mind. For repair and remodel work around the South Coast — doors, decks, siding, trim — Aponte Contracting is built for exactly that; confirm the warranty question and get a written estimate before work starts.
