Payments followed by unfinished work feature in two older complaints about Attaboy Home Improvement. A Google reviewer writing in April 2021 said the company took half the payment upfront, requested another payment to order doors, then never returned or answered calls and texts. The customer said they hired someone else and paid again to finish the job. An April 2020 reviewer alleged incomplete work and problems with framing, sheetrock, insulation, window inspections, and lead-safe work practices. That customer also said they had not been reimbursed for money and time spent getting the work completed. These are the reviewer's allegations. In an August 2019 review, a writer describing a friend's experience said a revised proposal doubled in price after the friend requested less work, and alleged the owner shouted at her when she cancelled his services. Attaboy describes itself on Houzz as a general contractor based in Pittsfield, Massachusetts. Its listed offerings include home remodeling, additions, new construction, basement remodeling, bathroom remodeling, flooring, and interior doors. The positive comments are brief: a March 2024 Google reviewer called Rob honest and praised his work; a July 2018 reviewer praised professionalism. Google lists 2.8 stars from nine ratings. The Better Business Bureau gives the business an A+ grade.
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from ATTABOY HOME IMPROVEMENT. Use it to sanity-check bids, then get the real number in writing.

Rob is a good honest guy. Does good work
They needed to take half the payment upfront, they then had to take another payment to “order doors” and never returned to the job, wouldn’t answer calls or texts and ultimately I had to hire someone else and pay for the job I all ready payed them for. Avoid these con artists.
Please listen to the negative reviews. Some positive ones are from friends or family. Avoid at all costs if you have young ones and lead is involved and you need quality work and don’t like being taken advantage of. Very poor craftsmanship and construction knowledge. Stole thousands from us and didn’t complete the agreed upon work. Improper framing, sheetrocking, insulation, avoided inspections on window installation, improper removal and safe work practices regarding lead. Can never keep word or do what he says. A nightmare for many!! Manipulated and lied to get payment and never reimbursed us for the time and money we had to put in to get the job completed and went off to the casino with our money. Appears to be reputable until you search court records and contact the EPA. Inspectors office is also very well aware of the scams. They shouldn’t be issuing permits to this company !
I am appalled with this company and the way they treat their clients. The owner is one of the most unprofessional, and unethical man i have ever heard of. A friend of mine hired this company to do work in her home when she received the proposal she told him that that was not what she wanted and asked him to please revise it with the changes she would like made. When she received the new proposal he had doubled his price so she fired him. She wanted less work done and because he didnt want to do it that way he doubled his price. When she told him that she no longer wanted his services he got into her face, mind u she is only a 22 year old girl and started screaming at her. Now he is lying all over town telling people not to work for her and telling people that he ordered supplies and she needs is to pay for them. He is a lair and a thief and unprofessional. I dont recommend anyone hiring him and obviously he cant work with females because he has no reapect for women or young women.
