Verified record
Three Google reviews, split two ways, and all of them old — that is the whole written record on this Needham general contractor, and the split is the story. The one positive account, from 2015, is detailed: a Wellesley homeowner with roughly $40,000 of ice-dam water damage hired the company's flood-restoration side, stayed in the house through the repairs, and described a crew that worked around a house sale and a live-in owner. The two negative ones, both from late 2017, are not about the finish work at all — they say Scott Harris did not pay subcontractors and vendors, one of them written by the wife of a sub who says he was never paid. Nothing has been written about the company on any source since December 2017. The only other trace is a 2016 local-news piece describing Scott Harris of Consolidated Contractors walking Minuteman engineering students through the design specs of a new energy-efficient build. With three dated reviews and a nine-year gap, there is not enough here to judge current practice in either direction. If you are considering them, ask for recent references and — given what the 2017 comments allege — ask directly how and when subcontractors and suppliers are paid.
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Consolidated Contractors. Use it to sanity-check bids, then get the real number in writing.
Estimated range
$23,000 – $35,000
Typical remodeling project around $29,000
“The students met Demos Skipitaris from Alphi Development and Scott Harris from Consolidated Contractors, who spent two hours going over the construction design specs, architecture and innovative materials used for energy efficiency in the new construction home, as well as the effort required to build this home.”
Scott Harris does not pay his contractors, vendors beware.
Horrible business man, My husband did some subcontracted work for him about a year ago and Scott never paid what was owed. Now he disconnected his phone.
It is with pleasure that I write this review. I had approximately 40K worth of water damage caused by ICE DAM last winter to my house in Wellesley,MA I engaged Consolidated Contractor Flood Restoration in Needham. I found this company to be not only professional but sensitive to both the impact of the damage to me while I was trying to sell my house with this much damage but also willing to work with me around a strategy and timetable. The work crew was extremely professional, skilled and sensitive to my needs since I continued to reside in the house during repairs. This was an amazing crew! It should be noted I had a house with a great deal of architectural detail which needed to be dismantled and then put back together. The execution was impeccable I was even able to sell my house with the repairs in process due the confidence the Buyer had in the company. . I rarely write reviews but this company should be recognized for its excellence in work, results and interpersonal skills. The leadership fostered a feeling of partnership and collaboration. I would strongly recommend this company without reservation.
