Chavez Construction is an Everett, Massachusetts general contractor the Chavez family has run for decades — the company's own account puts its founding in 2001 by Segundo and Victor Chavez, though BBB records list a 1999 start and other directories cite anywhere from 15 to 27 years in business, so the exact date is unclear even as every source agrees this is a long-running operation. Segundo Chavez, the company's president, is named in nearly every review.
What the reviews describe most, across many jobs, is kitchen and bathroom work — full remodels rather than single fixtures. In a 2025 review, one customer described a time-sensitive renovation of a multi-family unit that included building a bathroom from scratch, a full kitchen renovation, new flooring, and updated wiring and plumbing brought up to code. Another 2025 review recounts renovating about 80% of a house the year before — new kitchen and bathrooms, dormers, hardwood floors, and redesigned stairs. And a third 2025 review describes Chavez building an accessory dwelling unit on a Lexington property, a complicated project with frequent design changes the crew handled with creative solutions, finished for less than competing bids. Across the reviews, communication, punctuality, and cleanup come up again and again.
Beyond the reviews, BuildZoom's permit-history profile backs up the scale of the operation with public records: 130 permitted projects, including recent six-figure jobs — a $520,000 four-unit gut renovation, a $655,000 rehab, and a $550,000 new single-family build — plus smaller remodels across Everett, Malden, Brookline, South Boston, and Chestnut Hill. That's a verifiable track record well beyond what the review count alone shows.
The company's Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is active, and Segundo separately holds an active Construction Supervisor license. BuildZoom also lists two older Massachusetts license numbers for the business that now show as inactive alongside the current active one — worth asking about, though nothing in the record suggests an ongoing issue. It carries an A+ BBB rating without accreditation and a 4.9★ average from 27 Google ratings, but has no reviews at all on its Houzz profile despite showing project photos there.
With project sizes ranging from a single flooring job to a $655,000 rehab, it's worth being specific about the scope of your own project when getting a quote.
