CRC Builders frames and builds houses. What a July 2026 customer wrote down is what happened to the price: they had CRC put an 800-square-foot addition and a wrap-around deck on a lake house, and the initial contract price stayed to the end, hiccups and changes included. The company works out of Needham Heights, says it has been building since 1991, and its Massachusetts construction supervisor licence — CS-090028, held by Robert Ucher — is active on the state registry. Several of the reviews are about whole houses. A June 2026 reviewer on their second CRC-built home said the first had stood more than 10 years without issue, and that the new 4,300-square-foot house went from raw wooded land to finished in five months. In April 2026 another homeowner described CRC taking over a complex roof frame after the previous contractor walked out and left the house exposed to the weather. Two reviewers that spring wrote nearly word-for-word the same line about the framing: experienced, fast, clean, solid. Smaller jobs run alongside the builds. In November 2025 a customer with a hole in a flat roof, punched by a rooftop deck, said CRC removed the deck, repaired the damaged joists and fixed the rubber roof, with Ted handling the scheduling and the permits. Another that month said CRC quoted a complete rebuild of a failing detached garage for what other companies wanted just to patch it. A February 2024 reviewer had windows replaced, one the same week called them for small carpentry repairs, and a March 2025 customer described a full gut renovation with French moulding. Two things to settle before you call. Angi and HomeAdvisor describe CRC narrowly — carpentry framing repair, deck and porch repair — while the company's own site covers custom home construction, residential design, additions, remodeling, home repairs and roofing, so be plain about which kind of project you have. And BuildZoom's profile puts CRC Builders in North Oxford rather than Needham Heights, worth a moment's confirmation if you find them there first. For a custom build, a framing package or an addition around Needham, the written accounts run from 2023 to 2026, and one June 2026 customer said they had been using CRC for 18 years. Get the contract price and the change-order terms on paper — that July 2026 customer's point about the number holding is the thing to have in writing — and confirm who pulls your permits.
Chris did an excellent job developing our plans for our house. He took the time to understand exactly what we wanted and made sure everything was aligned from the start, with no discrepancies along the way. He knew how to keep the building cheap and super functional, were very happy.
They did an 800 sq ft addition along with a wrap around deck for our lake house. What stood out to us was that the initial contract price we got stayed to the end. Even with hiccups and changes they never charged us extra. Very happy with the service we received
Ted and Bob are outstanding. They have built two homes for us, and after our first was a complete success with no issues for over 10 years, we got to work with them again. Our 4,300 sq ft home went from raw wooded land to a fully finished house in just five short months. Ted handled everything on the front end, including permitting, engineering, and surveying, making the process stress-free. Bob was great and always had time to talk and explain while he led his crew clearing the lot, excavating, and bringing the entire build together.
They have done work for me for the past 18 years. Always on time, always holding their word, and the work is always top of the line.
CRC Builders are great framers. Very experienced, fast, and they do clean, solid work you can count on. They know what they’re doing and take pride in getting it done right.
