Building Unit Conversions

Building Unit Conversions is a Dorchester carpentry and general contracting outfit — also listed on Thumbtack as "R and G Contracting/Building UNIT Conversions" — with 25 years in business and a small, three-person crew. Its written record centers on hands-on carpentry: framing, porch rebuilds and deck work, all attributed by name to John Feroli. In a February 2018 review, a homeowner described the company tearing down a two-story wood-frame back porch and rebuilding it from the ground up, including new cement footings — solidly constructed and attractive enough that neighbors commented on it. Two more reviews from April 2018 echo the same themes: a Charlestown business owner praised responsive, flexible framing work coordinated around a commercial move-in, and another customer called the value fair and was extremely pleased with how their decks came out. All three are five-star, and the company also picked up Angie's List Super Service Awards in six different years between 2010 and 2016. Thumbtack states it verified a Massachusetts Construction Supervisor license for the business; Houzz separately lists a license number without specifying its type. For a homeowner needing framing carpentry, a porch rebuild, or deck work, the written record — though several years old now — points to careful, well-received craftsmanship; worth confirming current licensing and availability directly.
