B.A.Perazim Inc. describes itself as a licensed and insured Massachusetts general contractor offering design-build, remodeling, additions, decks, roofing, and siding. Its website says it has handled residential and commercial projects in Massachusetts for more than 18 years and names Ransford Bawa as a team member with design-build and remodeling experience. Thumbtack lists general contracting, deck and porch work, architectural services, and basement finishing among its offerings. The detailed customer accounts are dated from 2018 to 2020. In a July 2020 review, a homeowner said Ransford replaced wood on a front deck, back stairs, and under-deck storage with vinyl, communicated throughout the workweek, and left the home’s exterior looking better. A July 2018 customer described an initial deck sketch and a detailed breakdown covering plans, inspections, materials, and stair removal; the homeowner said the crew built the deck quickly and professionally. In June 2018, another reviewer praised a front stairwell and deck project. A September 2020 reviewer described basement finishing that moved from design into demolition and framing, with materials sourced and inspections completed during the pandemic. Thumbtack shows 4.9 stars from 18 ratings and 143 projects, and lists a Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor credential. The written reviews offer specific examples of deck construction and basement work, but they are several years old. This may suit homeowners seeking a contractor for exterior projects or larger renovations that involve planning and construction. Before hiring, confirm the current license details, who will perform each trade, the project schedule, and the present scope of work; the available firsthand accounts describe jobs completed between 2018 and 2020.
Ransford and B.A.Perazim did a fantastic job finishing our basement. He worked with us through designing the space, and once finalized got right to work demoing and framing it. Even through the coronavirus pandemic Ransford was able to source materials, complete the inspections and close the permit. We highly recommend Ransford and his team for their quality of work and service! We're sure to call him again for the next project.…
Ransford completed work on our front deck, back stairs and under storage. We had everything converted over from wood to vinyl and we couldn’t be happier with the outcome. Not only was Ransford efficient, but he communicated with me the entire week of the project. I’m so happy with how everything turned out and the exterior of my house looks so much better than it did before. Thanks again…
I wanted to do a two family conversion and needed help coming up with the layout for the units. Ransford listened and provided several options on how I could do it. He also had some good ideas and advice along the way about the process of doing the multi- family conversion. In the end, we came up with a cost effective layout that I am happy with. Needless to say, I had a good experience working with Ransford. I would recommend Ransford to anyone needing architectural plans drawn up.…
We hired Ransford to put a deck on the back of our house. Ransford was a pleasure to work with. He met with us to initially get our thoughts on our project and immediately sketched up a rough view of the deck attached to the house and a detailed breakdown of the work that was needed including plans, inspections, materials and removal of old stairs. We made some modifications and drew up an agreement. We made one change to the project after we started which was to make the deck wider. Ransford was able to accomodate us and work with our surveyor and the town of Needham to amend the plans. He and his crew worked through some extremely hot days and built our deck quickly and professionally. We were thrilled with his attention to detail and how much work he put in to building a strong foundation and framing. He also made some suggestions on the layout of the pattern on the decking which we really appreciate. We love the deck. We would not hesitate to recommend Ransford to anyone who asks and we have already made plans to have him do other work on our house.…
