Corrado Building & Remodeling has been a Framingham name since 1980 — but the first thing to settle is its registration: Massachusetts lists home improvement contractor registration 102352, with the company itself as holder of record, as expired. That matters because the work is squarely general contracting. Its own site describes carpentry, renovations, remodeling and new home construction across Metro West Massachusetts, and its Houzz page stretches the range wider still: decks and porches at one end, large additions with extensive renovations, new custom homes and a small strip mall at the other. Houzz puts the territory at the Natick and Framingham areas. The Better Business Bureau names Thomas Corrado as owner, counts six employees, and dates the business to 1980, incorporated in 1987. The written history is short and old — two Google reviews, averaging 3★ across two ratings, both predating 2021. In a 2020 review, a homeowner described a large remodeling job on their house and said they would gladly hire the crew again, and planned to. The 2019 one runs the other way: that customer called the company over priced, unorganized and slow, and was angrier about the reply than the job, saying the company answered a Facebook review by messaging them directly. BBB grades the company A+, which is a grade and not an accreditation — the profile states the business is not accredited. A LinkedIn recommendation credits Thomas Corrado's knowledge and experience with navigating challenging legal and municipal issues on a project, which fits the additions-and-permits end of this business more than the small-job end. If you are weighing a large addition or a new build in the Natick–Framingham corridor, this is a long-established shop worth a call — but open with the expired state registration, and ask for references from the last year or two, because the newest customer account here dates from 2020.
“His knowledge and experience helped navigate through some challenging legal and municipal issues”
We utilized Corrado’s services and were very happy with the work and workers. They did a great deal of remodeling of our home and we would gladly use them again which we plan to.
I posted a negative review on their Facebook page and I was SO surprised at the response I received VIA FACEBOOK MESSENGER. Not only is this company over priced, but they are unorganized, slow, and completely rude. I would rather pay more money on the same job at a different company than be snapped at by a receptionist, or attacked over social media. I mean, come on, they messaged me directly so they could insult me, instead of writing a comment in the comments section. My Facebook review and their response to me is attached. Bad news travels fast, and I will tell everyone I know not to bother with this company.
