Belfort Builders LLC

Belfort Builders is a Kingston, MA carpentry outfit built around frame-to-finish work — decks, porches, additions, and built-in carpentry — serving towns across the South Shore including Weymouth, Marshfield, and Plymouth. The company, self-described as veteran-owned, is run by John Belfort, who holds an active Massachusetts Construction Supervisor license personally and an active home improvement contractor license under the company name. The bulk of the record is strong and specific. Reviews from 2023 describe multiple deck and stair replacement jobs and a basement finish that stayed on time and on budget; one customer that year called the pricing "very reasonable" for the quality delivered. Into 2024, reviewers kept coming back for more work — one hired John again after built-in bookshelves and a mantle, another after a stair tear-down and rebuild. That pattern continues into 2026: several reviews from March describe fast turnarounds and finished work exceeding expectations, including a deck one customer called "not only beautiful but also extremely sturdy and well-built." The one sour note is recent. In a June 2026 review, a customer said John agreed to a project and then delayed for three weeks before backing out over text rather than a phone call — a contrast with the pattern of on-time, communicative work described elsewhere. It's worth asking about directly, especially on a project with a tight timeline. Two 2025 building permits — a $32,000 front porch in Hanson and a $12,000 stairway replacement in Acushnet — line up with the deck-and-carpentry focus described in the reviews.
