Crespo Construction

Crespo Construction is an East Boston general contractor built around ground-up and multi-family renovation work in the neighborhood — BuildZoom's permit history counts 31 projects, mostly East Boston raze-and-build and alteration jobs, with a BuildZoom score of 99. The detailed written record shows a contractor who stays hands-on when a job goes sideways. In a 2018 review, a homeowner described calling on a Monday night with an emergency; Ricky Crespo came out with his plumber that evening, gave a quote, and had the crew back the next morning on a problem that turned out worse than expected — finishing within the quoted terms and documenting the work with photos along the way. Another 2018 account described a boiler damaged by an electrical fire: Ricky brought both an electrician and a plumber, kept in close contact, and lent space heaters over a weekend while a part was on backorder. A separate 2018 review described a full bathroom gut on an older home, with Ricky helping prioritize which parts of the house to tackle first. Its BBB profile is A+ with no complaints on file, and 34 Thumbtack ratings average 4.9, with 94% at five stars. The detailed accounts here run 2017 to 2019 — the only newer rating on file is a one-line 2023 Google review ("Good company"). BuildZoom's directory also lists five Massachusetts licence records for the company: four currently listed active (Home Improvement Contractor and Construction Supervisor numbers), and one Home Improvement Contractor number marked inactive after being cancelled at some point — worth confirming directly rather than assuming from the directory listing alone. For a homeowner weighing a ground-up build, a multi-family renovation, or a full bathroom gut in East Boston, the older record points to someone who stayed hands-on through a messy job. Ask for a current reference and confirm licensing before signing on, since the written detail on file predates the last several years.
