C Ferreira Renovations

C. Ferreira Renovations is a small West Roxbury remodeling firm — three employees on its BBB profile — run by Claudio Ferreira, doing kitchens, bathrooms, basements, additions, decks and exterior work around the southwest edge of Boston. It is registered with the state: the Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor registry holds an ACTIVE registration, number 187337, under the LLC's own name, and the company has been BBB accredited since August 2015 with an A+ grade. The permit trail is more informative than the review count. Building-permit records credit 44 permitted projects, nine of them in the last three years, at a typical value around $44,000 — among them a $330,000 family-room addition with a rear deck in Roslindale in 2024, a new wood-framed garage on the same street, a $273,530 kitchen and bathroom renovation in Jamaica Plain that involved dropping a steel beam between two rooms, and basement conversions and decks in West Roxbury. That is the work of a contractor comfortable pulling permits and taking on structural jobs, not a handyman. What customers say is warm but sparse. A homeowner writing in October 2021 had a basement finished into a bedroom and family room, and described a team that communicated clearly, was reliable and trustworthy, finished on time, and brought in subcontractors who each remarked how well they liked working with Claudio's crew. Reviewers on the BBB profile describe him as fair, responsive and honest, say costs came in as projected and timelines were kept, and recommend him for renovation work. There is one thing to raise directly. Alongside the current registration, permit-database records report an earlier Massachusetts registration and two City of Newton licences as inactive and, at one point, cancelled. Ask what those were and when they lapsed, and confirm registration 187337 directly with the Office of Consumer Affairs before signing — it is what gives you Guaranty Fund access on residential work.
