Schedules hold — reviewers repeatedly report on-time or early completion
What does a remodeling project cost in Greater Boston?
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Archambault Construction. Use it to sanity-check bids, then get the real number in writing.
In-house millwork — cabinetry, trim and staircases made by the firm
Budget transparency — weekly cost updates, one job finished under quote
Historic renovation awards — NARI barn restoration and PRO New England silver
Named project managers — customers credit Jimmy, Dave Payne and Mia
Value scores lowest — 4.8 on Houzz against 5.0 for work quality
Built for big jobs — Houzz lists typical costs of $20,000 to $1.1 million
Forty-four Houzz reviews, every one of them five stars, and the sub-scores tell you where the weight sits: work quality 5.0, communication 4.9, value 4.8. Archambault Construction is a family-owned design-build shop in Holliston that has been at this since 1981, and the thing its customers keep describing is not a finish or a fixture — it is a schedule that holds.
The jobs are substantial. A homeowner writing in June 2026 had them build a full addition — laundry, powder room, his-and-hers closets, master bath and bedroom — and described the process from excavation to completion as managed flawlessly. In October 2024 another customer detailed a six-month, top-to-bottom gut of a 1950s ranch: a vaulted connector addition, spray foam throughout, high-performance windows and rain-screened siding, chimney removed and the house converted to all-electric with solar and battery backup. They finished on schedule.
Project managers get named. Jimmy comes up in a May 2025 kitchen renovation and a June 2024 second-storey rebuild; Dave Payne in a May 2025 condominium remodel; Mia in the office in reviews from January and March 2023. A January 2023 customer retrofitting a kitchen for a Wolf range — five subcontractors on a job they assumed was too small for a general contractor — said the pricing was transparent and the work landed ahead of schedule and well under budget. A June 2024 reviewer got weekly budget-usage updates.
The credentials are real and independently held. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, number 100483, is active in the company's name. It has been BBB accredited since 2003 with an A+ grade. Houzz lists ten Houzz awards, a Lead-Safe EPA certification, and three NARI awards — a 2017 historical barn restoration, a 2018 kitchen over $150,000, and a 2018 pool house — and an industry awards roundup records a silver for Archambault Construction Inc. in residential historical renovation. BuildZoom, which scores them 99, shows a permit trail across Brookline, Newton, Chestnut Hill, Ashland, Medway, Mendon and Wellesley.
Two practical things. Houzz puts the typical job at $20,000 to $1.1 million, so this is a firm set up for additions and whole-floor renovations rather than a half-day repair — though that Wolf-range customer found them willing. And value is the one score customers mark below perfect; ask for the scope and allowance breakdown up front. Its own site states a construction supervisor licence, CS-045925, separate from the registration verified here.
We contracted Archambault to build us an addition to our home consisting of a laundry room, a powder room (1/2 bathroom), two large closets (his and hers), a master bathroom and a master bedroom. We could not have picked a better company to build our dream addition. They managed the whole building process from excavation to completion flawlessly. The communication between us and Archambault was impeccable, not one "stone" was left unturned. The workmanship was/is without peer. Our every question and desire was met with excellent results. They Archambault team delivered to us everything we desired without question. I recommend them with the highest kudos and would not consider any other construction company to build us another project in the future. Thank You Archambault Construction and your entire team.
We had an amazing experience throughout our entire project all because of Archambault construction. From inception to even beyond the finished product their customer service, attention to detail, ability to really listen to the customer and put their wishes first surpassed our expectations. This was our family's first experience with a project of this kind and Archambault were on hand to counsel, explain and walk us through every aspect of the work. Their timeline was exceptional, if something was delayed for any reason then the time was made up elsewhere. As new parents with a 10 week old baby along with a construction-crazy toddler, they made the process as gentle as they could; even offering our toddler a chance to look at tools and check out their large machinery. Archambault have earned a very fitting reputation, they're quite simply, the best.
We had our first floor renovated, and the experience with the Archambault team was phenomenal. From day one, they were organized, supportive, and right on time. They communicated regularly, worked around our schedule, and made the entire process feel effortless. The design stage was a fun, creative collaboration, and their years of experience really shined through. Honestly, I can't say enough good things about this team—they were outstanding.
We recently had our entire first floor renovated, and the Archambault team exceeded every expectation. From start to finish, they were organized, supportive, and consistently on schedule. They kept us informed at every stage and were incredibly flexible in working around our needs. The design phase was a truly enjoyable, collaborative experience, and their seasoned expertise showed in every detail. I can't say enough great things about this exceptional team.
The Archambault Team did a fantastic job on our kitchen renovation/addition. I cannot recommend them highly enough. They are professional, hard working, creative and friendly. Jimmy was the maestro of the orchestra, directing traffic and keeping us updated on a daily basis. The job came out beautiful and we now enjoy our kitchen and living room more than ever!
