Cutler Building & Remodeling

Cutler Building & Remodeling is a Mendon/Milford general contractor Mark Cutler has run since the company's early-2000s founding — the exact year is inconsistent on its own site, cited as 2001 on the home and team pages and 1996 on the about-us page — and its work leans toward big, structural jobs: full-house rebuilds, additions, and first-floor renovations rather than single-room updates. The reviews on file describe exactly that scale of work. One homeowner had their house rebuilt from the foundation up and said, a year later, they were still glad they did it; another walked through a first-floor renovation that knocked down walls, installed an I-beam, and rebuilt the kitchen entirely; a third added a family room and foyer to a 1947 Cape. Across seven of the eight reviews on Google and Houzz between 2014 and 2025, the same threads recur — organized crews, honest budgeting ("we'll work within your budget"), and projects that landed on time. BuildZoom's records back that up with volume: 40 permitted projects dating to 2018 and a BuildZoom Score of 100, in the 87th percentile of Massachusetts contractors it tracks; Houzz separately showcases 22 completed projects across two dozen towns west and southwest of Boston. The one sour note has nothing to do with the construction work itself — a 2024 Google review said a Cutler company vehicle tailgated the reviewer at 6:20am on a residential street before speeding off well over the limit. It's worth asking about if it gives pause, but it stands alone against a run of detailed, positive accounts of the actual renovations. Mark Cutler holds an active Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, verified directly against the state registry, and BuildZoom separately lists that same license number as active. He's a UMass Amherst Construction Management graduate who also lists membership in the Builders and Remodelers Association of Greater Boston and Remodelers Advantage, and describes the company as a Certified Green Builder — self-reported, but consistent with the scale of work the reviews describe. For someone planning a real renovation — an addition, a gut-and-rebuild, a full first floor — rather than a single fixture swap, this is a contractor whose reviews and permit history point toward handling that scope well. Worth confirming current lead times and getting the budget conversation in writing early, since that's the part reviewers specifically praised Cutler for getting right.
