## The honest read

Bristol Remodeling & Construction is a general contracting company based in Plainville, Massachusetts, run by Timothy Travers and in business since 2013, taking on both residential and commercial remodeling, additions, and new construction across eastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island.

Reviewers consistently credit Tim directly for detailed, on-time, on-budget work, including a third home addition for a repeat client and two commercial buildouts for a USA Ninja Challenge gym franchise. The company also lists kitchen and bathroom remodeling, framing, roofing, siding, and window work.

Worth asking about before booking: the company's Massachusetts home improvement contractor license (#183654), held by Timothy Travers, shows as expired in the state registry, so ask about their licensing status directly. One reviewer also described a missed appointment where the booking wasn't found in the company's system.

A solid option for homeowners and commercial clients in the Plainville area who want a hands-on, well-reviewed contractor for additions and larger remodeling projects, provided their licensing is confirmed.

**Strengths:**
- Repeat client — built a third major addition for the same customer
- Named principal — reviewers consistently credit owner Tim Travers directly
- Commercial buildouts — completed two USA Ninja Challenge gym locations
- Above and beyond — helped a caller find another business for an unrelated job

**Concerns:**
- Missed appointment — one reviewer says a scheduled visit was never honored
- Licence lapse — the state registry shows the HIC license expired
