Leaks, water damage and a boiler after an electrical fire: customers of Crespo Construction describe calling Ricky and his crew for emergencies. The East Boston firm describes itself as a general construction and management company taking on residential and commercial renovations and ground-up mixed-use projects, and BuildZoom shows 31 permitted projects. In a February 2018 Thumbtack review, a homeowner with a Monday-night emergency said Ricky came out with his plumber, quoted that evening and started the next morning, taking photos of the damage. A January 2018 reviewer said Ricky brought both an electrician and a plumber to repair a boiler whose relay and gas valve were fried by a minor electrical fire. In January 2019, a customer said the team found the source of a leak in their condo building and resolved it within hours, and in October 2019 another said Ricky got them back into their home quickly after water damage. Thumbtack shows 4.9 from 34 ratings, Angi 5.0 from three and Google 5 from two. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, #213725, held by Crespo Group Development LLC, is active. BBB gives it an A+.
Good company.
Most responsive contractor I’ve ever worked with. We had a mess of a water damage situation and Ricky was with us every step of the way to remedy and get us back living in our home quickly. Wouldn’t hesitate to hire again.
Ricky and his team did a fantastic job identifying the source of a water leak in our condo building. They helped us resolve our problem within a matter of hours. I highly recommend them and will be calling them for future plumbing projects.
As a single person house owner its hard to do a complete bathroom gut. Ricky understood that and helped me prioritized different jobs in my house. The first of many, I hope, was the bathroom fixture update. Like any job on an old house, there were things we couldn't predict and Ricky helped me understand my options and cost. The bathroom looks great! Can't wait to start on the other projects!
I had an emergency on Monday night and contacted Crespo construction. Ricky came out with his plumber, assessed the situation, gave me a quote that evening and came back that next morning and began work. The initial problem was fixed immediately and was much worse than expected. Ricky took photos of the work, damage, issue and resolution along the way, keeping me updated with exactly what the situation was each step of the way. We encountered several unexpected issues and ricky and his crew were able to solve them and stay within the quoted terms of the contract with minimal ease and discomfort to my family during the process. Ricky did such a good job, he began work on a second project in my home that with the same attention to detail and care as the first. Ricky is most honest, reliable, fair contractor I have worked with. I would recommend him for any job big or small in the future.
