Crouss & Stenquist Inc

Crouss & Stenquist Inc. is a small design-build firm at 43 Broad St in Hudson, Massachusetts, working across Metro West Boston. The Better Business Bureau records it as a corporation incorporated on 14 May 1998, in business 16 years, with four employees and Robert Crouss as manager; its own Houzz profile lists residential custom design and build, custom cabinetry and millwork, home additions, basement remodelling, accessory dwelling units and universal design. In its own words on that profile, the owners work hands-on: "we are the project managers, job supervisors and lead carpenters on all of our jobs", with a workload deliberately kept small enough to stay involved in every project. On the registration, read the name carefully. The Houzz profile publishes licence number 148875, and Massachusetts does hold Home Improvement Contractor registration 148875 as active — but the registry's holder of record is Stenquist Custom Builders Inc., not Crouss & Stenquist Inc. Those are related names in the same town rather than the same registered entity, so ask which company will sign your contract and confirm that that company's own HIC registration is current before work starts. The customer record is thin and dated. One review is on file, from October 2014, in which a repeat client described a finished basement, a new laundry room, a new family room and a new master bathroom done over a period of years and called the firm truly professional. The BBB grades the business A+ and publishes no reviews and no complaints; it is not BBB-accredited. One review from 2014 is not a track record, so there is no basis here for a rating and none is given. For a design-build project, ask for references on recent work of comparable size, see finished jobs in person, and get the scope, the contracting entity and the price in writing.
