## The honest read

Bellante Construction is Michael Bellante's Swampscott-area general contracting business, with BuildZoom recording 100 permitted projects mostly in kitchen and multi-room remodels, typically valued around $56,000, across towns including Brookline, Boston, Milton, Topsfield and Wakefield.

The written record here is thin but instructive: three reviews from 2012 to 2015 describe homeowners who kept bringing Michael back over years for carpentry, trim, window replacement, painting and small bathroom work, several crediting him with prompt communication and fair pricing. A 2021 review describes a tricky front-door installation in an 1840 house with out-of-square framing, calling the integration into the existing trim well done.

The most detailed account is different in kind. A September 2022 review of a $220,000 third-floor addition describes repeated subcontractor failures across HVAC, plumbing and electrical work, along with scheduling and quoting errors, and says the reviewer would not use Bellante again for a project of that size.

For smaller carpentry, trim, window, or single-room remodel work, Bellante has years of satisfied repeat customers behind it; for a large addition, get subcontractor scheduling and pricing details locked down before signing, given the one detailed account of a major project going wrong.

**Strengths:**
- Repeat customers — homeowners rehired him for years of carpentry and trim work
- Tricky retrofits — matched trim and framing in an 1840 house's out-of-square doorway

**Concerns:**
- Major project risk — a 2022 review reports subcontractor failures on a large addition
