Fernando and his crew are what people mention first across dozens of reviews — not the company name, but the person who called back, showed up, and got the job right. Asus Contractor is a Boston-based construction and renovation company that, by its own account, launched in 2021 amid the pandemic, put together by a group of builders who wanted more transparency in the trade. Homeowners hire the crew for decks and porches, basement renovations, and kitchen and bathroom work — the same team also handles condo-association maintenance contracts, from exterior painting to porch-ceiling repair.
The track record runs deep for a five-year-old company: 30 reviews dating back to 2022 across Google, Thumbtack, and HomeAdvisor, and the praise tends to repeat specifics rather than adjectives. One homeowner had a basement finished in four weeks against a six-week target; another said Fernando's crew replaced a front porch and back deck a full month ahead of a stated July 7 deadline. A condo association came back for repeat maintenance work, and one owner who wasn't the cheapest bid chose Asus anyway because the estimate was more detailed than the competition's, then had the crew return without complaint to fix issues an inspection turned up. On Thumbtack, where Asus holds Top Pro status, the star breakdown is 96% five-star against 4% one-star out of 50 ratings, and activity has stayed current — three reviews in the last six months, none negative.
The one blemish on the record is a single 2024 Google review calling the experience "very bad" after payment, though the reviewer gave no specifics about what went wrong. Worth asking about separately: Asus also carries a HomeAdvisor "Approved" profile with a perfect 5.0 across three roofing reviews, but that page's own About-us text describes a 26-year, family-owned, Spanish-speaking roofing specialist — details that don't match the company's own website and read like leftover copy from a listing built for a different business before Asus took it over. The roofing reviews themselves look like real completed jobs (a fixed leak, a finished repair), so it's the bio text, not the work, that's out of step.
For anyone weighing a mid-size remodel — a deck, a basement, a kitchen — the pattern across four years of reviews is consistent enough to lean on: clear communication, work that finishes on or ahead of schedule, and a willingness to come back and fix what an inspection flags. Confirm current licensing and insurance directly, and ask which crew member will be on site day to day, since Fernando's personal availability is what most reviewers are actually vouching for.
