Bulldog Construction is a Nahant, Massachusetts outfit run by Anthony ('Tony') Maltacea, who by his own account spent 31 years in the heating field before moving into home renovation full time — first as Bulldog Handyman, more recently rebranded Bulldog Construction LLC. His Massachusetts Construction Supervisor (1 & 2 Family) license, verified against the state registry, is active, issued May 2021 and running through 2028. The written record runs from 2018 through late 2025 — 30 reviews across Angi and Google, nearly all five stars — and the same names recur: Tony, and in more recent reviews crew members Simpson and Edson. Jobs range from small handyman fixes to full remodels. A December 2025 review described a first-floor remodel — new doors and windows, a step-in-shower bathroom, a laundry closet, a new bedroom, refinished floors and a full interior repaint — completed on the two-month timeline Tony had estimated. A separate December 2025 review described a front-porch redo and new basement stairs, with constant updates and ideas offered on railings. Earlier accounts trace a similar pattern over the years: a 2020 review described Tony discovering a torn screen mid-install and not taking payment for that day until it was replaced; a 2019 review recounted him stepping in to tie up loose ends after 'an old handyman ran off with $300' from the customer; and a 2021 review said one household had used him for two years running, including for a few emergencies. A 2025 review said a customer and their neighbor have both used him repeatedly over more than five years. One practical detail worth knowing: Angi's profile lists free estimates but no emergency service and no warranties, so it's worth asking directly about scheduling and any guarantee on a specific job. For everything from a single storm-door install to a full first-floor remodel, this is a Nahant-based, licensed contractor with a long, consistently positive local track record — worth a call for both handyman work and larger renovation projects.
Bulldog construction remodeled our first floor. They installed new doors, windows, remodeled the bathroom with a step-in shower, built a laundry closet and created a new first floor bedroom space. Floors were refinished and the entire interior was painted. His crews came when expected, and were both polite and professional. Tony was responsive and estimated the job would take two months and it did! Tony and his team did an excellent job and we are very pleased with the results.
Tony and his team redid my front porch and put in new basement stairs at my property. He and his team were in constant communication with me and kept me updated on the process. They were very kind and friendly. He was able to give me some ideas about railings. The workmanship was amazing, and I would definitely hire Tony and his team for a future project.
Highly Recommended!!! Attentive, personable, trustworthy and they came every day to start and complete the job! Tony and Simpson and all of the other professionals are just the type of workers we hoped for. Tony is responsive and knowledgeable and always keeps folks informed and workers coming every day. We have a very old house which had several surprises, but Tony and his team made appropriate adjustments to keep the project on track. We had a second floor full bath and large closet added and an existing bathroom renovated. Inside and outside work was professionally and safely completed on schedule. Great framing, roof and gutters new windows, and beautiful flooring and tile work. His architect did great plans and his crew did great work. His cost estimate was quite accurate too. You can rest easy with Bulldog on the job!
Tony and Simson are reliable, honest, and hard working individuals who will make your home look fantastic. We have worked with them for over 5 years and they have delivered every time.. They are very creative and are adept at turning around old classic builds as well as modern new ones. One thing that sets them apart is the ‘Do it right’ thought process. They will always tell you what’s the best way to create, repair, or fix something and helped us renovate our whole home. Whether it’s your bathroom, roof, walls, or flooring you will be in good hands with them.
Tony and his crew did an addition for me as well as siding and new windows. This is about as dependable a crew as you could ask for and Tony takes his work very seriously and is extraordinarily accountable. The quality of the work is great, they stuck to their timeline and remained very close to the initial budget projections. Very very happy and would recommend to anyone.
