Boston 5 Star Contractors

Boston 5 Star Contractors, based in Malden, works across homes and small commercial spaces — a good share of its written record is Boston-area restaurants and retail buildouts, with a renovation inside historic Faneuil Hall called out more than once, alongside residential kitchen remodels. The volume backs that up: 50 reviews from 2021 to 2026 across five sources, and a 4.8★ average from 63 Google ratings. The kitchen jobs get specific — one review describes a full remodel with demolition, plumbing, new cabinetry, countertops, lighting and tile work finished on schedule and budget, and a homeowner who'd lived in their house 15 years praised the crew for keeping the original crown moldings and restoring the old floors while adding custom cabinetry. BBB lists the company as accredited with an A+ grade, and its BBB page also lists a Massachusetts Office of Public Safety and Inspections license (CS-106939) and a Massachusetts Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation license (196704) — attributed to BBB, not independently verified against the state registry here. Two things are worth knowing before calling. A 2021 review said the reviewer hired 'Agui Souza and Bostonian Carpentry' for carpentry work and described Agui Souza as taking payment without completing the job — notable because several more recent reviews name a team member 'Agui' favorably as the on-site lead on kitchen and deck projects, so it's worth asking directly what that relationship is. Separately, a 2025 review unrelated to the quality of the work described a company van's driver making unsafe lane changes on the road. Given the volume of specific praise for kitchen and commercial-space renovations, this is a reasonable name to call for that kind of project — just raise the 2021 complaint and confirm current licensing directly before signing anything.
