Build Remodel Design is a Boston design-build outfit run by Paulo Santos, offering architectural design, remodeling, and construction for houses and apartment buildings across New England. The company says Santos has been at this about 17 years, working with an in-house team that includes a chief carpenter, site foreman, and finishing painter. The Google reviews are unusually consistent — all 15 on file are five stars, dated between April 2024 and September 2025. The clearest pattern is structural competence beyond a typical remodel: in a 2024 review, one homeowner described Santos installing a new footing and lally column in the basement, building temporary support walls, then removing the load-bearing walls between the kitchen, living room, and hallway to open up the space. Landlords see the same thing at scale — a 2025 review from a Boston property owner described gutting and remodeling several apartments with recommendations on what would make the units more marketable, and a separate mid-2025 review said the crew had worked that owner's properties on and off for more than two years. A few 2025 reviews specifically flagged pricing transparency — no hidden costs, work matching what was quoted — and crews cleaning up daily before leaving. There's no state licence verification on file to check here, and the written record is Google-only — no BBB page or other platform to cross-reference it against. Build Remodel Design looks suited to a homeowner or small landlord planning a genuine renovation — a gut job, a structural reconfiguration, a custom addition — rather than a single-trade repair, given how consistently the reviews describe multi-week projects with real scope.
