Build-It Brothers Solutions, Inc.

Patios, retaining walls, steps and walkways are what Build-It Brothers gets hired for, and the jobs tend to move quickly: a July 2024 customer had a patio and stairs rebuilt with new retaining walls added in seven days, and a May 2024 patio went in over two days. The Waltham company is run by brothers — Al (Alvaro) Lopez and Guillermo — and its BBB profile puts the start at 2020, incorporation in 2021, and seven employees today. People come back. A homeowner who had a patio built in 2023 hired the team again and wrote in October 2025 that the second project went the same way; a May 2024 customer booked a matching walkway for the following year; a July 2024 reviewer had already chosen them for upcoming chimney work. In a May 2026 review, a homeowner said the crew worked from early morning into the night and that theirs was the reasonable quote among many. The work runs wider than pavers. A June 2024 reviewer had blue stone laid in front of the house and said Al walked them through the different kinds of stone; a June 2023 customer had deck boards replaced and stairs rebuilt; an August 2025 job took on a fence, a retaining wall and a concrete walkway together; a January 2023 reviewer had foundation work done and a new bulkhead installed. A December 2022 customer combined a full yard cleanup — old shrubs out, weeds cleared — with roughly 300 square feet of deck washed, polished and sealed. Two things to raise before signing. The state registry shows the company's Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, #205900, as expired; BBB records give that same number an expiration date of 7/6/2026 and list a construction supervisor licence, CS-117114, with an expiration date of 8/30/2027, and the BBB profile carries an alert in its licensing section. Ask where the registration stands now. The other is what happens after the crew packs up. A December 2025 reviewer said the work itself was good but that Al promised to come back and fit a lock on a screen door and never returned. And in a December 2022 review, a customer whose ceiling cracks were patched said the cracks came back and a full replacement looked likely, on a job that also ran longer than expected. For hardscape — a patio, a retaining wall, front steps and a walkway that all have to line up — this is a crew customers keep rehiring. Confirm the registration status, and write any punch-list item you want finished after the main work into the contract up front.
