Catamount Builders is a Boston general contractor at 850 Summer St in South Boston, run by Steven Deering, who is listed as president on its Better Business Bureau profile. The BBB lists the business as started in 2007 and incorporated in 2008, doing new construction, additions, kitchen and bathroom remodeling, basements, windows, siding and general contracting for residential and commercial clients. It holds Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor license 154867, active in the state registry, and the BBB rates it A+. BuildZoom shows 27 permitted projects, sampled from 2013 to 2021, including gut rehabs, multi-unit apartment renovations in Brookline, kitchen and bathroom renovations in Cambridge and Somerville, and a two-family to single-family conversion. The written feedback is short but specific. In a 2023 Google review, a building owner described more than two years of work gutting and renovating over 10,000 square feet across two multi-family brick buildings, calling Steven honest and upfront about pricing and saying the team suggested improvements the architect had missed. On Reddit, a commenter said in September 2026 that Catamount did their condo kitchen in 2023 in an old, unusual building and recommended them, with the caveat that they are hard to get on the schedule; another commenter said in 2024 that Catamount handled a kitchen renovation that needed multiple permits. Google shows only 3.2 stars from 9 ratings, well below what the one written review and the Reddit recommendations describe, so some customers who rated the company without writing a review were less satisfied.
“Catamount Builders are great, if you can get on their schedule. They did my condo kitchen in 2023 and my building is old and unique. A few pieces of advice, I don't case you haven't gotten this far. You will experience major sticker shock. Everything, especially labor, is expensive. Everything is slower than yo”
“Catamount did our kitchen renovation. Multiple permits were required.”
Worked with Catamount for over two years on a large scale project doing a gut renovation of over 10,000 square feet of two multi family brick residential buildings. Steven and his team are top notch. Steven is honest, nice, pleasure to work with, and upfront with everything. He stood behind his work and pricing and was beyond fair and trustworthy. The project came out great. It’s been a little while now since we finished and residents living in the building and we’ve had no issues with anything construction related. The team was thoughtful and thorough. They presented options and improvements where the Architecht or others didn’t think about. We have many more buildings to do major work on and I will continue to hire Catamount for all the work. Best contractor and construction company around.
