Brito Home Improvement

Brito Home Improvement is a father-and-son operation out of Lawrence — reviewers know them as Edison and his father — that's become a go-to for deck and fence work across the Merrimack Valley, with siding, basement and drywall jobs mixed in. It's rated 4.9 out of 5 on Google, HomeAdvisor and Angi alike. The specific stories are the most telling part. A 2023 Angi review says the pair finished a deck a previous contractor had abandoned partway through, calling the final result beautiful. Another customer, replacing a wood deck with composite in 2023, says Brito worked through an unexpected issue mid-project and kept them informed the whole way; a 2021 review describes the crew improvising a fix when the ground's grading complicated a fence install. More than one reviewer mentions a project that grew — a siding job that turned into deck painting and attic drywall, a fence repair that led to a basement remodel — without the price creeping up to match. It isn't a spotless record. In a 2022 review, a customer who says they liked the crew personally describes the company's actual quote for a 6-foot cedar fence not lining up with the budget and prior quotes they'd laid out from the start — enough that they wouldn't hire them again for that job. For a deck or fence project in the Lawrence area, the volume of specific, satisfied feedback makes Brito worth a call — just get the scope and price nailed down in writing before work starts, especially if your project might grow.
