CHAISS CONSTRUCTION

Chaiss Construction is a one-person, owner-run outfit in Dedham built around kitchen and bathroom remodels, additions, and basement work, run by Michael Chaisson, who according to its Better Business Bureau file has kept the company open nine years. Chaisson himself has since become a notable local figure — local political coverage from late 2024 describes him winning a seat in the Massachusetts House while continuing to run the business and sit on Foxborough's town advisory committee. The clearest picture of the actual work comes from a single detailed account: in a 2019 post on a home-design blog, a homeowner described turning a dark, unused cedar closet into a tiled bathroom nook, writing that they were "so happy with our contractor Chaiss Construction, there is no way we could have done anything like this ourselves." Beyond that one write-up, the company's Better Business Bureau file carries a clean A+ rating even though it isn't BBB-accredited, and its Houzz page lists a broad remodeling menu — kitchens, bathrooms, additions, basements, flooring, and window work — plus ten projects in its portfolio. What's thinner is any recent, independent feedback: both Houzz and BuildZoom show the company with no customer reviews at all, so most of what's known comes from its own listings rather than from people who hired it. BuildZoom also lists an active Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor registration for the company, alongside a second, different HIC number marked inactive — worth asking about directly, since neither has been checked against the state registry here. This is a fit for a homeowner planning a kitchen, bathroom, or basement remodel who's comfortable with a small, owner-operated crew and willing to lean on portfolio photos and a direct conversation about licensing and references rather than a long review history.
